I had a 2000 S10 reg cab with a 4 cylinder it was gutless and was cramped. I was driving by the dealership at about 60 and saw the truck turned around and did some tire kicking. I went back and got the wife and bought the truck. I would have liked to have a full size but at the time we were living i...

I think I saw Melloyellow's crew on the used car lot at Keller Motors in Hanford yesterday. Did he sell his truck?

Pat

OK I was out of town on business and came home to a puddle of coolant under my truck. At first inspection I saw the fluid driping off the starter. When I got under the truck I noticed a line of fluid running along the rear of the head gasket. I checked the heater hoses and they are fine. My question...

The price of gas is down about $0.15 a gallon

to $2.11 and I gripe about the cost but I bought the vehicles to drive em. I just can't figure out why all the refineries shut down for maintenance during peak driving periods

. Seems to me its some form of legal price gouging

.

Pat

My crew was doing the same thing it was out of alignment and the tires had a dynamic inbalance only did it at above 50 MPH had it aligned and the tires ballanced and it stopped.

:lol: ya i havent paid under 2 dollars in about a year....its stupid around here, one block is 2.20 for 87 and the other block is 2.35 for 87....2.60 for 93 and 2.60 for deisel....but the cheapest gas station i have seen is 2.13 for 87.... Same story in Hanford, CA Its a good thing I have a company...

I should just go out and buy like a 72 K5. NO STICKERS, NO SMOG, NO IFS, OH AND THEY MAKE A KIT SO YOU CAN LIFT YOUR TRUCK. I just could'nt drive it with gas pushing $2.50 a gallon.

Pat

So I'm not the only one those ugly ass things drive crazy.

It seems silly that they would remove a cheap little part like the lighter in the models after 01. Mine came stock.

I have never understood why Ford gets so much attention. Up until the last couple of years they have been undependable at best I have had 3 in the past and will never own one again. Even the bodies lack imagination the new F-150 is ugly to say the least, flat side panels a modified F-350 nose and a ...

Nor do I. Found a nice spot in late August solid granite for about a mile. Played around for about an hour before my stock truck could go no further. Shaver Lake has alot of off roading locations and lots of logging roads I don't know how those rigs get along on those roads? Got a few pic's but when...

Its nice to see more folks in the Central Valley finding this site. Ray-Laconico, Visalia, Ca. Mello-Yellow, Lemoore, Ca. I see lots of CC's in the valley but until the first of this month. No other forum members. Nice to see ya here.

Thats a great deal on the TM 5" let me check with my "CFO" (wife) :? Are you refering to the TS 5" kit that Warnoffroad has? TM= Trail Master TS= Truck'n Suspension Just wanted to make sure you understand which it is. You're right though, it is a really reasonable price. I read that wrong TM TS

I just got 2 new Summit catalogs they list a Super Lift 6" lift for the S10 1983-2002 and it is marked with a "NEW" logo on it anybody know if this fits our truck?

Thats a great deal on the TM 5" let me check with my "CFO" (wife)

Pat

Yes I do understand that at most parts stores you get to talk to some minimum wage knucklehead who was shown how to use the parts catalog like 2 hours ago. I just like my truck alot and wish it was easier to find parts for it. Even finding body accesories for them is difficult and it seems that in s...

Pat

O.K. I went by the 4 Wheel Parts center in Fresno and those guys don't have a single clue on how to lift our trucks. They even slammed the TM 5". What is the major problem with lifts for our trucks is it the front suspension or the rear suspension. It seems to me for the S10 itself to have been arro...

Since we are on the topic of exaust and cats what restriction do we have in regards to a dual exaust mod. Even in CA I have seen after market cats. Can they be installed by a shop with headers and a muffler upgrage and still pass smog?

Pat

I also read the topic about Dex-Cool do we need a specific cap for this.

Pat

I found that out about mine from the manual but it is not standard on all GM vehicles. The 99 Grand Am we had the lights could not be turned off. It sucked there are some places you go where you want the car running and the lights off. Oh well had to trade that one for the Firebird and the lights ar...

Is there a rubber gromet on he firewall I always used those in my older vehicles.

I have only had one incident with a door left open. I left the grocery store and did not close the rear door all the way. I made a left turn and spent the next few minutes picking the groceries up off the road and keeping other people from running the stuff over. I have noticed that if the drivers d...

Pat

How else are they to improve if they don't know where thier problems lie? I do believe that GM does listen , since a really poor dealership here lost the GM product lines. I for one would like to be a part of the solution and do my little insignificant part to promote a better product and services....

Pat

that's what I've been doing basically... As soon as it gets to1/4 tank I fill up, oh well, don't know if it's worth taking into the dealership. I gave up on the dealer myself. I haven't been able to get them to fix anything else. And they keep sending me stuff in the mail wanting me to extend my wa...

What a PITA, If you need this done , I hope you don't run out of warranty before the parts arrive ;) I do understand your frustration with them it se...

Mine has been doing that for a while and my wife always tells me about it. I thought that was just how they worked. Thanks I will be taking it in.

installed the PA-192 kit

What does the PA stand for and where is the best place to pick up the kit?

I just got off the phone with Sam's Club (a.k.a. Walmart 2). They sell the stock- sized BFG A/T KO for $95 a piece and the 31's for $105. They had those in stock. They can order the 30" (takes about 7 business days) for $101.33 ea and the 30" Mud-Terrain for 113.16 ea. The Dunlop Radial Mud Rovers ...

That would suck big time spy wear on our cars

Pat

I guess it would be O.K. but it would have to be tubular and resemble a roll bar and have some lights on it thats what I call a"ghetto construction truck". I have seen that on a dakota and the light are all messed up from boards hitting them If your in construction then you know what kind of nuts t...

Roofing and haulin ladders would not work well. Where there's a will...there's always a way. What about one of those "contractors" racks? Might be a good way to haul a duck boat too. I haven't seen one on a S-CC yet, or maybe that lifted yellow one from the Pheonix area had one? I guess it would be...

Pat

The bed size is a negative on the truck but it has alot more possitives the cab room for one, gas mileage, finding parking and as I have seen most of you doing the short wheel base is good for rock crawling. I guess if I was still doing construction I would have an old beater also. Roofing and hauli...

Pat

Yeah it would lose alot of the bed. I had between 500 & 600 LBS of concrete in the back of mine one time. Its a strange ride down the freeway when it feels like the front wheels don't touch the ground.

Pat

I have been wondering what our trucks would look like with a roll bar. I just don't know how functional they would be or how it would look with the long cab and short bed. Has anyone else thought about it before or done it. Not that I would want to roll my truck it is almost to the point that it can...

I like chrome myself but if you want paint powder coating is more durable

Thanks for the help. Dealerships are a pain to deal with.

My 2001 Crew has 30,000 miles and we took it in to have the tires rotated and get an allignment. We were shocked when Big-O refused to do the allignment stating that the lower ball joints had significant wear. We then decided that this should be covered under the warranty the dealership told us that...
