Well I have the truck running. I feel silly for what was wrong. Check the simple things first. Then check them again. When I took my truck apart for new spring bushings, I took the 3 ground wires off the frame behind the drivers side leaf spring shackle. Apparently I didn’t tighten that bolt back up...

_STUCKY

Alright I’m thoroughly confused as to why my truck will not start. Tank on floor with wires hooked up, the pump will run. Mount the tank and it won’t pump. I’m thinking it’s a ground issue now.

_STUCKY

Well I dropped the tank the other day, broke one of the vacuum lines or vent lines, whatever they are, that go from the vents to the fuel pump and the charcoal canister deal behind the tank. Still waiting on barbed hose fitting to get everything back together. But I ordered another pump from Napa, w...

_STUCKY

I replaced my pump around January. About 2 months ago I put the truck on the hoist and took both front and rear suspension and axles out for new spring bushings (axle swapped truck). Finally got everything put back together, and the fuel pump is dead. Before I buy a new one, I’ll probably take the t...

_STUCKY

Sounds like a good start. For the rear spring hangers and shackles, look at ruffstuff. That should give you some good ideas for what is available. Something else I would do while you have the truck that far apart, is replace the brake line that goes from the front to the back, I just did this like 2...

Details? Pics? Questions? Ask questions and I’ll answer them

_STUCKY

Nope haha. Ghost town. I really want to drop my vortec 5.7 in my truck....

_STUCKY

I’m a little confused here. Shift cable for what, the transmission? I’m not sure what difference the transfer case would make in regards to the transmission shift cable since they all came with a 4l60e. And when you say NP1 or NP8 are you referring to the glove box rpo code? There are 2 transfer cas...

_STUCKY

Nothing showed up. Details?

_STUCKY

Scratch that. I made something super high tech. I took about a 2 inch long 7/16 bolt (biggest that fits in the hole in the strap) and one maybe 4 inches long. The longer bolt I cut the head and threads off of (this bolt wasn’t threaded the whole length). Short bolt got the cut bolt welded to the hea...

_STUCKY

I didn’t break it. I was just bringing all this stuff back to the top because my pump died, and I half expected all the known issues with changing it out. Horsehammer, what’s your fuel pump situation? If your tank doesnt need to come out, it will be fine. I broke the Ground for the filler neck, the ...

_STUCKY

Welcome! Have plans for the truck?

_STUCKY

Bump!

03-04 has a plastic tank and takes a different pump. For better or for worse, I ordered:

Delphi fg0432

110$ difference between napa and amazon.

_STUCKY

Bump! Broke mine off with the quickness yesterday. I think if gm had used a shorter bolt, mine wouldn’t have broke. There’s probably several ways to cut it out after it’s broke, but I didn’t think a sawzall was the right tool, I used a hacksaw with a new blade and it worked just fine. I plan to get ...

_STUCKY

Bump. Looks like I need to order this, mine broke.

Part number: EAS40-1000

I found it on eBay, but can’t seem to find where to share a link.

_STUCKY

Bump, because it took me a few minutes to find this.

_STUCKY

Well, it got scrapped already. Sorry about that.

_STUCKY

Argh! I’m pretty sure he scrapped it yesterday! I’ll find out today and get back to you by tomorrow morning at the latest.

_STUCKY

I have a buddy that has, I believe, an 01 zr2 that is going to get scrapped in the near future. If anyone wants the rear axle, act fast. It can be had cheap and will take half an hour to pull. Mileage unknown, but is in usable condition. Located about 30 minutes south west from Jacksonville IL. If i...

_STUCKY

It’s been a while but I think you just yank it up. Let us know what you find out if I’m wrong. Pretty sure I pulled the seat bottom when I ran some wires back in the day.

In my opinion, there is no need for a “lift kit” for these trucks. You can easily over tire these trucks with a torsion bar crank and/or a body lift. The main issue, excluding fairly weak components, is that you aren’t moving the front axle forward, away from the firewall, greatly limiting tire size...

_STUCKY

I don’t think you’ll find a lot of good options for a lift kit . What you can however do, is find the “MML” threads on hear and make your own “lift kit”. Crank torsion bars, trim fenders, fit 31s. Add body lift for 33s. Cheap, simple, reliable. Lift kits throw a lot of stuff out of whack on these tr...

_STUCKY

Sorry, I don’t know a part number that will work, but what I’d do is, have them look up for your truck (driveshaft yoke) and the truck the axle came out of (axle yoke), and go from there. Hopefully it will be the same, easy peasy. If it’s not the same, there are conversion u joints available where h...

_STUCKY

Photobucket killed all the links. I never started a new account on the other hosting sites. I still have them all on photobucket though.

_STUCKY

Zr2 axle is a huge upgrade over the original axle in these trucks. No frame reinforcement required, other than the ujoint it’s a straight swap that couldn’t be easier. For a 3.73 truck that has issues with the original rear axle, it’s a no brainer in my opinion. Is that what I did? No, I went with a...

_STUCKY

It’s probably just the cold weather playing games with your truck. My guess is the vacuum gizmo on the front axle was frozen.

_STUCKY

Yea stupid prices on that site, but good info and pics. Did you check the fluid level? Or for leaks? There isn’t much inside a 231 or a 233, but a 236 looks scary inside. I’m wondering if the tube came off the pump or if the pump is wearing a hole in the case. If you had the case off, a good set of ...

_STUCKY

It’s possible something let loose inside. I believe the 236 is more problematic than the 233. Which do you have?

https://www.midwesttrans.com/NP236.html

_STUCKY

Crawl under there and check the tag on the back of the transfer case.

3 buttons is an np233. 4 buttons is an np236.

_STUCKY

If it is actually the differential, I have one of those also. Just under 100,000 miles, 3.73 gears.

_STUCKY

Horsehammer, I still have my stock 3.73 geared axle. It would look great under your truck.

_STUCKY

I broke mine while I was off roading. Terrible sounds when the stock fan hits the shroud. I replaced them with the jtr mounts in the link, with 2.8 Astro van mounts from napa. It is a very nice improvement over stock. I don't think you'll need to chain it after. :wave: Edit: It did take a while to g...

_STUCKY

For me the seats from a 99 bravada swapped right in, all functions worked. However since then one of the wires on the passenger seat has broke and not everything works currently. It appears to be an easy fix. As for the homelink console, at some point m truck got an aftermarket sunroof. They chopped...

_STUCKY

The round body 4 door blazers have what you need. Bravada's all had "leather" and other fancy interior bits. The seats swap right over, and there is a plug taped to the floor under the carpet for the seats. I believe it was just in front of the hump for the rear seat, passenger side. If you find a b...

_STUCKY

Looks pretty good. I did mine with a 2wd Astro box, modified a little. There's a spacer in some boxes to take out to get about 1/4 turn per side at the steering wheel. Astro van steering pump, which is the same as a lot of school buses and full size trucks got. I have a wagoneer pitman arm, ruffstuf...

_STUCKY

Ah jk axles. Explains why you have the same wheels my dad has on his.

Spring over in front? What leaves? I'd like to see the perches, where they land on that axle.

What did you do for the steering and brakes?

_STUCKY

Looks good. Is that the off-road direct kit? What are the axles out of? I think a d35 only came as a front in rangers. The pics are huge, had to save them to look, I don't know how to fix that.

_STUCKY

I bought this one. Used it for a camping trip and took it back off until winter.

On a side note, hope all is well down there from the hurricanes. I lived in Loxley when I was younger. I think I've told you that before

_STUCKY

Saw the other post first. Nope I haven't found one. I'm interested but it's not worth 500$. Pm a number to get ahold of you. Thanks!

_STUCKY

Where in central IL? I'm interested, buuuut.... I'm not paying 500$

_STUCKY

I'm a bilstein fan. The part numbers that fit these trucks are on here. I took mine off when I did the axle swap and plan to reuse them on my jeep. If memory is correct they have a lifetime warranty, so they should outlast the truck. The older wheels should fit just fine as well, but try one and fin...

_STUCKY

I don't believe there is. Bad seal out of the box, perhaps?

_STUCKY

Is the slip yoke corroded or pitted?

_STUCKY

I don't know if you are 3.73 or not but there has been a zr2 axle on the Hannibal craigslist for awhile. He wants too much for it in my opinion, but it's there.

_STUCKY

I planned to make an upper mount that was 26 inches long but the bender I was using wouldn't bend the stainless sheet I have, so my test piece got used.

_STUCKY

Could you get a pic of how you mounted the top side of the radiator? Water pump is on. Fan is attached to the radiator with some little aluminum brackets I made. Fan/radiator is in. Most things are hooked back up. I had to take the heat shield for the spectre intake off, which had the relay and circ...

_STUCKY

Just swapping to the 2.8 mounts for now.

_STUCKY

I got the radiator yesterday, and it is beautiful. So, I have jags that run 2.8 motor mounts and brackets, water pump and radiator to go in. Have some of that cooling system flush crap and green antifreeze in the equation as well.

_STUCKY

Wahoo! I sent them a message yesterday, straight to the point of, are they scamming me, send me the radiator or a refund. He sent me a tracking number.

Edit: fingers crossed he didn't stab it with an ice pick or something

_STUCKY

Hopefully it is just an honest mistake and it will be on the way soon. If not, hopefully eBay has my back and I get a refund. I have only bought a handful of things off eBay and this is souring the experience.

_STUCKY

Thanks. So they are also in china. I ordered from "maggic_kk". I would not recommend them. I could probably go on a rant with profanities and some foul comments. But I won't. I will say though that I messaged him and asked when it will be back in stock and my order is 3 months old. The reply I got w...

_STUCKY

@Lonewolf

Would you mind sharing who the eBay vendor was that you got this from? I ordered that one around Halloween and it is starting to look like I'm getting the shaft.

_STUCKY

We can keep talking about floor mats if you guys want, I don't mind haha

I still haven't gotten my motor mounts from jags that run or my kks radiator yet. Both were ordered in October. I haven't had any funds or ambition to do anything to the yj.

_STUCKY

I'm wondering how involved is it to get deep enough to do the swap? What parts may need to be replaced at the same time? But I'll agree with HJ, sounds like something is going on right there at the collar and fork. With it only working in reverse, I'm wondering if maybe the teeth on the collar are a...

_STUCKY

I'd try car-part.com and see if you can get a junkyard to pull it and send it to you for a reasonable price. They will probably charge you for the time to get it out more than what the shaft is worth. Personally I would lean toward changing it rather than repairing it.

_STUCKY

I don't think it's going to be an issue. Someone is going to have to be the test mule and report back. Feeling lucky?

_STUCKY

I wish I could answer this with certainty... But I believe that the stock Astro shaft is a bit long and you can only get 1 snap ring on. The other shaft addresses this issue. I just skimmed through this again, but I don't recall reading of any issues using the Astro shaft. If I didn't go with the ax...

But it's just a torsion bar crank, the wheels were...

_STUCKY

What is your end goal? Tire size should be a consideration. In my opinion, which is just an opinion, torsion bar crank and the correct backspace wheels with 31x10.5 is a good daily driver combo. Add a body lift and probably fender trimming and you should be able to go with 33s. Bfg has the t/a ko2 i...

The badlands winch has been on there a few years, and I have used it, but the jeep has been down for like 4 years. I haven't had any trouble with it though. Without looking at anything, I want to say it's a 6 or 8000 pound winch. The jeep is pretty light though. My Gpa has I think a 16000 badlands w...

_STUCKY

Not too much really. Around Halloween I ordered jagsthatrun 4.3 to 2.8 motor mounts and a kks1826 radiator. Neither has showed up yet. Last week I reminded both of them. Other than that, I've just been trying to keep salt off of the s10. Took it out in our pasture to cut some firewood recently. Spen...

Don't smash your topper haha. They are too rare to just smash them. I had a leer topper on mine until a tire exploded in the bed and mangled some things.

_STUCKY

Bump!

I've been thinking about adding factory fog light housings and putting in a pair of 886 style leds. In my experience, led doesn't create the heat that incandescent bulbs do. I'm wondering, do you guys think the housings would handle the leds?

_STUCKY

Ordered the kks1826 on ebay last night. Have a new water pump. Need to flush the crap out before putting them in. I'll probably redo the way the efan is mounted also.

_STUCKY

Found this in my thread:

I just put in a full system that consists of an alpine that I had bought last year, 4x6 Polk plates in the dash, 6.5 polks in the doors, and a bazooka bass tube

_STUCKY

Not that I can recall. I don't remember there being any issues. But it's been like 4 years or so.

_STUCKY

It would work fine with a body lift.

_STUCKY

4x6. I believe I went Polk.

_STUCKY

I've got that mount. I like that it tucks the winch up out of site. Seems heavy enough, I haven't had any trouble with it. The upper middle bumper brackets need trimmed for the width off the winch. In my case, I took the winch apart to rotate the handle down, then notched the bumper so I can get my ...
