the torx mod, without getting under my truck, I believe is the vacuum modulator. Big words, but as I understand just makes the shifts softer.

22 years old I wanted a full size, but my parents didnt want it in their drive way, so I got the biggest s-10 I could. My mom wanted me to get a standard cab with no power and a 4 cyl. she's crazy. Im only missing leather, bose, and a sunroof, otherwise I got everything else. (I know it doesnt come ...

Matt

the size of the box (cu ft) depends on the manufacturer. Some subs take more air space than others. It also depends on the sound you are looking for. spl, sq, or just something that sounds ok. I like the spl, or sound pressure level. Some people decide that they want their stereo to sound good inste...

Matt

well if you have read some of the other topics then Im sure that you have seen my set up, 4 solo baric L7's in a 7 cubic foot box, no back seat and a power akoustic amp rated at 3000 (three thousand) watts. Here is a pic, not the best, but you get the idea. http://www.s-10crewcab.com/coppermine/disp...

Matt

you could, but you would probally blow a lot of fuses because of the current draw. The absolute best thing is to run one to the battery along the passanger side of the truck. All those floor sills pop on and off real easy. Under the carpet on the passanger side there is a small grommet that you can ...

I got my GMC CC in january of 2003, I loved it ever since. Sure there are a few things I dont like about it, but those can be fixed. We all know that our trucks need to be lifted to get the right stance. No GM isnt perfect, and if they were, their trucks would be much more expensive. I look at it li...

Matt

I cant say for sure how bad the rough idle was or is, but I can tell you that all of my S-10's that I have ever owned and worked on with the V6 have always had a bid of a rough idle. I tried for a while to fix it, but nothing ever worked. As far as the bad gas thing, the mechanic could be right. He ...

Matt

a few things that bothered me: small mirrors? I guess that they havent driven some of the older S-10's with the mirrors the size of business cards small back seat? What did you expect. Your supposed to remove the back seat for speakers, or just keep small children in it. soft suspension giving more ...

Matt

just so everyone possibe can see this Ill put a link here too. For those of you who really dont want a back seat anymore, do what I did. http://www.s-10crewcab.com/coppermine/displayimage.php?pos=-309 If your in the Chicagoland area, I know a great shop that will hook you up. Custom Car & Audio in M...

Matt

well here it is, its kind of a bad shot, its hard to get a good shot of the backseat when your new speaker box takes up the whole thing. pic is at http://www.s-10crewcab.com/coppermine/displayimage.php?pos=-309 I hope that you like it, I know that I do. And we will all find out may 2nd how loud it r...

Matt

well now its 3 35 am and I just got home from the stereo shop. WOW is all I am going to say. My subs hit so hard that it hurts to even be standing next to the truck. definitely recommend the L7's from solo baric. Its just an ungodly amount of sound and air movement. If anyone is in the chicagoland a...

Matt

well its a few weeks later and we fineally got a box built, so much for the kicker vr's. Into 4 solo baric L7's. Some ungodly size box, something like 7cu ft. or something. 3000 watts of power. Its just sick. Ill get some pics up real soon. I guess that we would be farther along if I wasnt working w...

Matt

DO NOT USE SILICONE, the chemicals it emits will eat away at the voice coils inside the sub. If you got it cranked up, you could launch the whole motor assembly out of the sub basket. Just use a good quality wood glue, and then seal the corners of the boards with that. bracing is probally not going ...

Matt

well so much for the weekend. The guys that are supposed to help me build the box took it off. I think Im going over to the shop on wed. or thurs. Its a bad ass Idea. However from diamond subs we go to 2 12" Kicker compVR's. in a ported custom made box. Ill let you know about it later.

Matt

after a long sleepless night of me, a piece of paper, tape measure and a calculator, I think I have a damn good idea for a box. Fabrication will start this weekend, I will have as many pics as I can posted. Good by 5 seater, hello 2 seater. I plan on pulling out the back seat and rebuilding it with ...

Matt

Im not sure if that will work with out setting the awful SES light. In your picture there are 2 smaller holes towards the top of the big hole. Those are for computer controlled air flow (can get more detailed if need be) It looks like the black part covers them up. My guess is that the SES light wou...

Matt

as an X dealer mechanic and soon to be a dealer mechanic again soon, I can tell you as a GM certified mechanic that yes they can recalibrate your speedometer/odometer, but would you really want to? If you think about it the same way I do, a bigger tire will rotate less times per mile than a smaller ...

Matt

I got 30's on my truck and I have no rubbing at all. They are very loud and everyone that drives it and doesnt know that I got them on there complain. They think that it is going to fall apart. Good for me. Keep unwanted drivers out of my truck. I got my on 01 barebones S10 steel rims. http://www.s-...

Matt

as far as the tinkering w/ the trucks and cars go, my dad is the same way. He is happy to drive his P.O.S ford escort ZX2 to work and home, but I cant put mudders on my truck w/o him getting all upset. He hasnt approved of one thing I have ever done to any of my vehicles. As far as the people making...

Matt

Matt

yes 2"truckin is the same as the 2"SL its a big POS... there is only 1 lift option TM5" stop searching I dont want to do the TM5" lift, atleast not yet. Id rather spend the time and the effort looking and bugging companies for a smaller lift kit that doesnt envolve permanant "damage" (as my dad wou...

Matt

I found this lift on my search for a smaller lift than 5 inches. http://rough.roughcountry.com/S10-S15%20LIFT%20KIT%20PAGE.htm I don't want to call the number because its long distance, but if someone else would like to, please help all of us out. so almost 2 full hours of searching and this is all ...

Matt

I have personally not ordered from them, but my best friend has and he has nothing but good things to say about them.

I will be ordering some stuff from them in the new future.

Matt

surfing the web today I found a 8" sub that I know will fit w/ a mtx truck box. its at www.ikesound.com. look there for all your other stereo needs. the sub is an audiobahn for like 65 bucks.

Matt

yea its 1/2 cu foot maybe a .65cu foot. its a small box from Q logic. It will fit on the drivers side of the truck behind the rear seat. I didnt get up early enough to "customize" my carpet so Ill do it tomorrow. And as I have learned today, make sure your sub is properly sealed in the box. Double s...

Matt

has anyone looked into only using only part of the front end suspension lift from TM? I know that I am not the only person on a tight budget, and if you can get the control arms from TM, and get a set of shackles or leaf springs that should get you up about 3 inches. I personally havent looked into ...

Matt

wow, you guys really have to look in other places for stuff. Walmart, K mart, ect have filler kits. the usually come in a "universal" kit, not that hard to install, and its the same as you get from the other places. Or if you feel daring you can get a black piece of plastic from www.mcmaster.com. Yo...

Matt

The Q logic 1/2 box fits, its really tight, but it fits. I had a 10" pioneer IMPP in it and it hit ok, nothing fancy, just added a little bass. I did remove the plastic behind the rear seat, under the window. Its real easy to remove, pop it off from the bottom, then lift up on it. The important part...

Matt

white out my headlights in the oven? how?

Matt

does anyone know of a front end lift other than the TB crank? I can fab up shackles and get add a leafs for the rear, or can you buy part of the TM 5'' lift? I know I can get the rear up no problem, its just that I dont want to fab up some new control arms, Id rather buy them. Thanks for the help.

Matt

Thanks
