I like mud on my ride

I do not like to see the frame rails however. Hopefully there's still some stock ones out there, I like the style

northsnoma

I had a rough idle until I replaced the alternator. The weights were laying inside. That and head gasket kit. My MPG went from 14 to 17-20. With mine if i had it in park and pushed and held down the gas pedal in the same position the idle would jump around +/- 300-400 rpm. Maybe try that

northsnoma

What kind of step bars are those?

northsnoma

Right now in Kalamazoo. Home is Farmington Hills though. PM me if you're still wanting to get rid of that cover!

northsnoma

I'm interested in the cover. Also looking for a hitch so can't help you there tho

northsnoma

^ Pics?

northsnoma

Exhaust manifold?

northsnoma

No help on the passenger side, have only had to replace the drivers

northsnoma

All i can help you with is saying that yes that plate on the driver side should be removed to take the old seal out and replace. Its just those bolts and comes right off. Hightemp/oil resistant silicone on the that gasket for the plate if you think need be. I put a small bead on

northsnoma

When putting the front bumper back on i simply bolted the side mounts back in their old position, couldnt figure out how to incorporate the square flat stock that was supposed to be incorporated. Any problems with this? Also I'm wondering if it will be safe to transport my dirtbike in the bed still....

northsnoma

I am in the Flint area so their are many machine shops and specialty craftsman around that I would hope would be able to put something together from the photos

northsnoma

Thanks HenryJ, just checked those 2 pages out before I posted this question. Didn't see prices so was trying to get a feel. I'll give them a call tomorrow

northsnoma

About how much does the BSW kit cost? Sorry to throw the thread off-track..

northsnoma

No used tire places have 33" on 15's

northsnoma

Are you actually in Detroit? Sometimes when explaining where I live have to say "in detroit" when actually am in the suburbs

2nd - Energy Suspension PU rear spring bushing upgrade kit with hardware. $40 shipped USPS Priority mail.

Do you know what Main eye O.D. they are intended for?

northsnoma

If you have air tools a cut off wheel works good, second would be sawzall just make sure you see what your cutting well (or could be.) Same thing happened to me with the nut spinning. I was able to get a nut up in their and hold it down with a screwdriver while staring the bolt in.

northsnoma

Yes, basically if you wanna change lanes right now you can hold it down without locking it and it will flash, but you must hold it down and then let go when your done. With this mod you can just tap it down once for a second without locking, it will give you 3 or 4 blinks and then stop. So far i fo...

northsnoma

Okay that's reassuring, thanks Steve

northsnoma

This picture looks different that what the kit is displayed as on PA's site. You think it's just a generic photo? It looks sort of familiar :crazy: http://autoplicity.com/products/804596-performance_accessories_192_performance_accessories_body_lift_kits.aspx?utm_source=googleshopping&utm_medium=cse&...

northsnoma

I need a picture of the the stock exhaust routing, sort of an underbody view. Can anyone help me out? Cant seem to find many diagrams.

northsnoma

Forgot about this thread, turns out my intake gasket was shot and had to buy a new distributor. Pieces were laying inside of the housing, I'm not even sure how it was still running :!: Havnt calculated mileage yet since I've been riding my motorcycles from April on, but will have a fair amount of mi...

northsnoma

Haha I see, so he had a little head start on coming up with the 'mod'

northsnoma

I still like how the factory front bumper looks when you trim off the sides and lower portion. I think a2b was the first one who did this mod. I'm sure there's a picture of his truck somewhere around here?

I'd like to see this

northsnoma

Thanks for the knowledge!

northsnoma

Does your harness happen to have trailer lights?

northsnoma

Dibs on the overload leafs/u-bolts. How much shipped to 48390?

northsnoma

Haha nice thinking, over on my dualsport motorcycle forum we have the "Good karma Free gear thread." Every time I drop a nut or fudge somethin up and it works out in my favor I think of that hydraulic brake light switch I gave away

northsnoma

Thank you sir! You are very kind and I suspect some good karma will be coming your way

northsnoma

Do you have a photobucket or smugmug account?

northsnoma

Where are you located? Pictures? Price?

northsnoma

Dibs on the hypertech programmer man! I'm bringing my CC back to life and this forum has been awesome, in some ways far better than any manual could explain.

I like that setup a lot, especially the pre-filter. I run a pre-filter for both my 2 wheeled toys. Thank you HenryJ!

northsnoma

Who knows when the last time this filter was oiled.. I wont cause their's hole on the sides worn out from rubbing on the fuse box. Plus I've got my new one coming! I've cleaned my MAF a few times with some CRC spray and will hit it one more time for good measures before I install the new intake

northsnoma

Thanks for the input Steve! Right now I've got a spectre filter clamped on to the stock intake right after the MAF ( previous owner) and I think all that airflow right by the sensor is f### with it

northsnoma

Everyone likes saving a few bucks

northsnoma

Summit's got a pretty nice deal goin on with the spectre cold air intakes, 149.99 w/ free shipping and a $20 mail in rebate. Just ordered mine and will be anxiously awaiting

northsnoma

Well I know for fact that I aligned it up with the tab (paint marker'd it) so I cant imagine that would be the problem. Perhaps my vacuum lines are on their last legs in this weather

northsnoma

Replaced my transfercase switch and now I cannot get to 4wd. Had a big snow storm last night and needed to use it, the roads were terrible. First time I pushed the 4HI button I was coasting out of my drive under the alloted speed and it made sort of a "non"-metalic grinding noise. Light successfully...

northsnoma

I have done numerous tests with the last 10 or more vehicles I've owned. In ALL cases the across the board MPG loss is a consistent 8% on 10% ethanol blend gasoline. I've also tried numerous times to run Premium Regular and the MPG gains have always been insufficient to offset the increase in price...

northsnoma

Some problem gonna weld in a new piece when it warms up too. I also think it magnified by ratcheting in my dirtbike so much

northsnoma

Ya thers definently something up with my truck then. i know my vacumn system is polluted with the dreaded atf. gonna fix that when it warms up. seems to be a slight stumble at idle once warmed. I think i need to clean/replace idle sensor and O2's i suppose. gona perform cat back as well

I will check for screens tomorrow. Yes an alignment is needed there is a slight pull to the right. Had an SES come up a while ago before the tune up that read: random cylinder misfires, something related to new thermostat (replaced), and front left wheel bearing needing replaced (sensor was not liki...

northsnoma

Wow nice find

Bookmarked that!

northsnoma

Okay will do. What is the recommended pressure? PO removed the sticker

Thanks for your help Henry the search works wonders but sometimes its nice to have some live feedback ya know

northsnoma

Well I'm not even getting window sticker mileage for highway and this is what I was worrying about. I've gone on two 160 mile trips recently, both 98% highway and averaged 14-15mpg. If its because of the winter blend than thats fine I realize this vehicle is not the most fuel efficient. My meaning o...

northsnoma

I'm from Michigan, totally forgot about the winter blend aspect haha. Suppose if its as good as itll get I'll quit with the tune up stuff then and move one to upgrades!

northsnoma

After replacing the fuel filter,plugs,wires, and thermostat im still getting 14 mpg highway

. Anyone have any other ideas?

No SES light and cap/rotor replaced not long ago
