Yea I did swap the upper control arms. I also put the new keys in and cranked them most of the way up. I did notice that the new and old keys where very similar. I put about 5k miles on this set up. I also have 1.5" backspacing rims.

RebelKid1822

Awesome thanks. I read that thread, I just wasn't sure if I still needed to do a body lift since I already did a 2.5" suspension. Thanks!

RebelKid1822

Just looking for some advice on fitting 33" tires on my crew. It's currently rocking 31x10.5s. It has a 2.5" rough county lift, plus two add a leafs to the rear. I already have offset rims. Wheel well height is 34.25 at the front and 36 on the rear. The fenders and flares have not yet been cut. Has ...

RebelKid1822

I've still got the original motor and trans. On my third rear end though. The trans lost overdrive so i started off roading the old gal. Body is decent but the bed is starting to go on the bottom and fenders.

RebelKid1822

I'd say so! I've only gotten my 2003 up to 191K.

RebelKid1822

Found it, the relay sends power to both the c2 a7 pin and the c3 f1. The c2 a7 is for the 2.2 and the c3 f1 is for my 4.3

RebelKid1822

Okay, I have a somewhat complicated issue. 2003 s10 with x code 4.3. I need to run a new power supply wire to my fuel pump. However, I can not find it. Where the grey supply power wire should be, is on the bottom of my fuse block in the c2 connector at pin a7. However this pin is blank. The b7 pin d...

RebelKid1822

Well today I will try and get the shorter strap from chevy. Hopefully they still make it. In The st341 kit, one strap is correct and one is wrong. The strap has the bolt hole in each end and goes under the tank towards the rear of the truck is correct. The strap that is supposed to go over the tank ...

RebelKid1822

Howdy,

Does anyone have the part number for the fuel tank straps on our crews? I got the GM numbers, but I'm trying to get them local. Everywhere I call just has the st341, which I have, however they are wrong. Help!

RebelKid1822

Almost a year since I posted on this thread. The old girl is up to 188k now, and has a two inch lift sitting on 31s. Going strong!

RebelKid1822

Well ill keep you posted about mounting one. First step is finding a gently used assembly. I will definitely do something about secondary latching

RebelKid1822

Do you still have it on there? Any issues? I read about the reinforcements and such

RebelKid1822

Thats the picture I saw! Lol

RebelKid1822

Has anyone here ever put the spare tire rack from a zr2 blazer onto their crew? I saw a picture online and i thought this would be cool. Any tips?

RebelKid1822

Bled the brakes again, 100 times better.

RebelKid1822

I used a dab on blue loctite, and then when it was tight, used a chisel punch and a hammer and crushed one of the flats in to keep the nut from coming off, basically making it a homemade locnut

RebelKid1822

Rockauto and any other site I tried failed me. Chevy had it in stock for 114. I couldn't swallow that so i went to pull-A-part and got one for 12 lol.

RebelKid1822

Ok thanks. Ill try bleeding it again.

RebelKid1822

Lol I am going slow. Usually I notice it when backing into a parking spot.

RebelKid1822

Got one in boneyard off a blazer.

RebelKid1822

Okay guys im stumped on this one. On my crew when I am in reverse, I have alot more brake pedal travel. Forward is normal. Discs all around. All new calipers, pads, rotors, and brake lines. Its been like this for a while. Any ideas?

RebelKid1822

Ended up having to get new rims. Went with 1.5" offset backspace difference from factory. Got my new 31 x 10.5s on. So pumped.

RebelKid1822

Does anyone have the part number for the front diff driveshaft yoke? I need a new one and cant find one anywhere.

RebelKid1822

I'm working on it. A lot of things piled up. Hoping to have her wrapped up and aligned this weekend to get her back on the road and ready for winter.

RebelKid1822

It has been almost 2 years since my last post, back then i han 172k. I am now only at 178k. Poor old girl has sat more. hope to change that soon.

RebelKid1822

Howdy fellas. Ok so I put all new bushings and suspension parts on the front of my zr5. The upper control arms were too rotted to get the bushings out of. ( due to living in the northeast Ohio rust wasteland). So to save money, I put a superlift 2.5" suspension lift on it since it came with new cont...

RebelKid1822

When new they are the same, but whence they have been installed they need to stay on the same side. Otherwise you will be twisting the barthe opposite direction. This will stress the bar and eventually snap it.

RebelKid1822

Thanks. I got it all back together the other day. Had to assemble the control arms to the hubs, then installed the bars and keys. Used a five ton puller to install torsion key locks. Much safer.

RebelKid1822

Okay guys ive gotten myself into a pickle. I have the torsion bars out. keys and bolts are out also. I replace the lower control arms. What is the proper process to get the control arms and keys into the correct position. I did not use the jaw puller for removal of the bars being as the whole front ...

RebelKid1822

Ill keep that In mind whenever the one I bought a few years back goes bad.

RebelKid1822

Do u mean the screw in switch with the ball on the bottom that the vacuum lines hook to? If so that seems high. They are like 16 at AutoZone

RebelKid1822

All you would need is to make a bracket where the vacuum pod is, then measure with string how long the cable would need to be. Im sure you could attach-weld the end off the old pod to a cable assembly. There are lots off places that can make custom PTO cables for trucks. Something like that should w...

RebelKid1822

Keep me posted on that mod.

RebelKid1822

I just got all my calipers from autozone.

RebelKid1822

OKay good news. The truck is back to its old self. Four new calipers and a clutch fan. The fan was my biggest issue. I couldn't turn the old one at all, it was completely locked up. Thanks everyone for all the help.

RebelKid1822

thats what im hoping. hopefully this will solve me issue.

RebelKid1822

howdy guys. two days ago i was fixing an exhaust leak on my s1o and had it on a lift. i found that two of my brake calipers were locked up, and that my clutch fan was bad. i am going to fix these problems tonight first before moving on.

RebelKid1822

The power loss is under load, the rpms climb, but it takes forever to get to 60mph without redlining it. Last night I had to drive up a small front yard that had a hill. The tires did not spin, but the motor bogged way down I was in 4x4 and I did not think I was going to climb the hill. I will be ch...

RebelKid1822

Ok. Ill give it a shot.

RebelKid1822

Newer clean map sensor.I will check the tps. No codes. No pending codes. Right now there are double platinum quad tipped plugs in it. With roughly 30k on them. 2nd o2 is newer. Other two are original- none were super carboned up. I put them into my new y pipe. I have not swapped the coil because I d...

RebelKid1822

I'm having a friend run it on a dyno for me. Hopefully this will tell me whats going on.

RebelKid1822

howdy all, i have replaced the fuel filter and did a flow test on the fuel pump. i also retimed the engine and checked the distributor drive gear for wear- simply because it was an easy thing to do. still no answers as to why i have such a power loss. anyone have any other ideas of things i can chec...

RebelKid1822

i have seen this twice on blazers, the front right hub would get vacuum when it should not and engage the hub. i have in both cases simply pulled the clip from the cable that goes to the hub actuator. that way whenever the vehicle get vacuum at the wrong time, the 4x4 would not be able to engage. as...

RebelKid1822

turned out after all these years that my humming noise was my rear end. i recently had to put a new one in, and what do you know- no humming! that last rear end must of been built right though. it hummed for about 100k before the spiders blew apart.

RebelKid1822

i have watched the o2 sensors and fuel trims with a big boy scanner. everything worked normal. i grabbed a new fuel filter on my way home last night, the truck is about due for one, the filter on it has about 11k on it. i dont believe this is my issue due to the good fuel pressure and good fuel leak...

RebelKid1822

howdy, 2003 zr5 4.3 175k okay i have a loss of engine power. the truck has lost its get up and go, and seems to have no balls. i have changed a lot of parts and done a lot of tests and am now stumped. it has a newer fuel pump in it. no codes. newer tune up. brand new y pipe and cats. i've done compr...

RebelKid1822

my cyl no 3 misfire turned out to be a cracked y pipe.

RebelKid1822

just wanted to comment that it has been over two years since i did my "$10 fuel valve fix" for my 4x4 vac. i have had no issues with it and my 4x4 works great to this day.

RebelKid1822

been a year, now up to 172k. runs aewsome

RebelKid1822

i have a set of factory nerf bars if you are interested

RebelKid1822

pro65goat- thank you for the offer, but as it stands now, im just going to weld a new bottom into my bed. thank you anyways.

RebelKid1822

they did, it was just a crazy price, im just going to make a custom bottom and weld in.

RebelKid1822

i had replaced my fuel pump and still had the cyl 3 misfire code happen alot.

RebelKid1822

well last night i got a temporary fix for my vacuum problem. i knew i had a leak somewhere between the engine, trans case and front axle. being as its ohio and cold and always dark when i came home i chose to not replace the three lines right now. instead i came up with a ten dollar fix. i ran a vac...

RebelKid1822

if you bought the fail safe tstat and it faild, it would be stuck open and explain ur heat loss. as for the bubles, be sure they are gone. on all the chevys i have done head gaskets on none had coolant in the oil or vice versa. they had all blown right along the fire ring and were burning all of the...

RebelKid1822

the hose route is easy to see with the truck jacked up a little, a simple way to replace it with the same route is to tie a string to one end before pulling it out. then tie the string to the new hose to reverse the process. the route on my zr5 is the hose from the T by the intake runs behind the en...

RebelKid1822

just an idea, but when you stop at a light it gets hot, that is when the waterpump is spinning its slowest, and when you speed up agian the temp goes back to normal, that may be because the water pump is then spining faster. so it may be a bad water pump. purging the air out would be a great idea to...

RebelKid1822

awsome thanks

RebelKid1822

i have a pair of the running bars/ nerf bars off of my 2003 zr5. make an offer. can email picks. in very good shape

RebelKid1822

ever since i replaced my mass air flow sensor, i have been getting almost 20 mpg, its been 19.4, 19.6, etc. this is way better then what i was getting. it was around 15, 16mpg if i was lucky. the ses light has not come on at all for a few days. truck runs great. hopefully this will be the end of thi...

RebelKid1822

i want one that tells me the code, and a description. its a tool i need to get, just nvr hav

RebelKid1822

does it sound kind of like a humming>?

RebelKid1822

where is a good place to get my own scanner? which kinds are the best?

RebelKid1822

lol well right now it anit a 4x4 lol, still workin on that part. and thank you very much

RebelKid1822

ok after a day of driving here are my results. the truck runs way better. however. when driving home on the highway, the ses flashed twice-three flashes both times, while do speeds between 70-75. i got gas today, not sure if it is realated, only ore drivng will tell. there was no performance differe...

RebelKid1822

i am big on washing, ill take it to the car wash once a week once snow starts, the sprinkler idea sounds great, but the hose is no where near where i park. come on bed! dont fall off on me now lol

RebelKid1822

salt is so dumb. self heating roads, now thats a great idea

RebelKid1822

that stuff sounds great, where can i get it? i would it be agood idea to use it as an undercoating on my frame?

RebelKid1822

that would be betr lol, im going to look for a while b4 i do anything to it. winter is alost here, so i will do it in the spring. i just hope ohio's salt doesnt make it too much worse lol, but perhaps the whole floor could go, that will save me the trouble of removing it lol

RebelKid1822

well for that price ill ijust make mine work lol. i got access to another bed thats bigger that i can cut the floor from, ill just weld that it. since it will just be the bottom and underneath of the bed liner i can just paint it myself. i was hoping to find one round 300 or so, but i gues that may ...

RebelKid1822

my bed is rusting away, front bottom and front rail are gone, i cant find a decent price on just the floor of the bed, so i figure ill just look for a complete one b4 i start a hard core welding project. lol i wanted to try and save my bed because the sides a fenders are perfect, but i cant find the...

RebelKid1822

hj- i just read the page on the precat, i do not belive this is my problem, my truck runs well except for the loss of power on a high demand. if im not accelerating on the highway uphill at 60-70mpg, or towing, the light never flashed. i have never had misfiring was noticable, or an overheating issu...

RebelKid1822

maybe, i just replaced mine a few hours ago, henry j said that a MAS going bad was unikely, i will drive my truck for a few days and let you kno what happens The MAFS failures are pretty rare in my experience. They can get dirty and fouled, but cleaning them with aerosol MAFS cleaner, or careful swa...

RebelKid1822

the one i removed was perfectly clean- looked just like the new one. ive ahd the batteries unhooked alot lately messing with the 4x4. ive had those codes coming up for a long time, the trucks performance had just steadily been getting worse when i put a demand on it. just regular driving and idling ...
