I still have the body lift & ORI prerunner light bar.

The body lift kit, 192, contains 2 rear bumper brackets and 2 side bumper brackets.

make me an offer.

Regards.

kwalsh

I'll continue to investigate if there is an affordable way to ship this cover to you.

kwalsh

Ahh yeah, shipping costs are not cheap at all. the dimensions of this tonneau cover require a special freight shipment and well above my asking price - 3x to 4x the selling price.

like HenryJ said - Road Trip!

And to answer your question, yes I have the mounting brackets, pistons, keys for lock...

kwalsh

Yes, hard tonneau cover is still available. I'll get back to you on estimated shipping costs.

kwalsh

Body Lift & Prerunner Bar are still available!

I can't stress enough to grease the caliper slide pins!!

The CC is now in the hands of a friend. This afternoon I sold the CC. I will not be a stranger to the forum; I promise. I've already informed the new owner of 'our S-10 CC family'. I'm truly going to miss my CC. I love that truck but I needed to upsize for the future -my family. I will never forget ...

kwalsh

I received a lot of compliments on my truck with the ORI Prerunner bar installed.

kwalsh

I will be selling my CC this week. I need this stuff gone.
Any offer will be considered. I just want this stuff to find a good home & somebody that can use it. They do me no good sitting in the garage.

kwalsh

BUMP for the items below:

prices have been reduced

2" Body Lift - $150
MSD 6A Ignition - $50
ORI Prerunner Bar - $100

kwalsh

Yes, they were a major PITA. I had to ask a friend for help & get the truck up onto his lift. Before I attempted to pull everything apart I read the service manual & decided to give him a call. It was a little more than I expected, but with over 140k miles I decided to change them. While I was at it...

kwalsh

Caliper is no good.
E-brake is good, no dragging there.

Lesson learned here is that I should have inspected the caliper closer when I was changing the slider pins.

kwalsh

Okay, so I'm still having an issue with the left rear brake. It is getting hot, not smoking, but something is not right. So I am wondering if there is a swollen brake hose...they deteriorate inside and swell up, causing the caliper to hold pressure and not able to return after pedal application.. bu...

kwalsh

I assumed there was a castle nut that would need to be removed, similar to the front. If there isn't then that will make life easier.

kwalsh

couldn't do the right side axle seal until I got my hands on something to pull the axle out & remove the castle nut. that will be tonight's or tomorrow night's project.

Should I do both left & right side axle seals? I figure I should.

kwalsh

So I was a bit quick on the draw... The brakes started to smell again & get really hot after routine driving. I am assuming/taking a stab at this theory...the excessive heat, caused by the locked up caliper, affected the brake fluid? I decided to bleed the brakes and while doing this I saw a pocket ...

kwalsh

One of the slide pins was frozen. After soaking with solvent I could not move the pin. Eventually I located a caliper mounting bracket at an auto parts store. Installed new bracket, new pins, rubber boots & lubricated with high temp grease. Both left & rear side caliper slide pins slide. Problem Sol...

kwalsh

Pulled the brakes apart to grease the slide pins. From what I gather the rear caliper slide pins are attached to the disc brake caliper mounting bracket and this pin has small rubber boot on it. Yes?

Steve, Thanks for the info. I plan on using high temp drum brake grease.

kwalsh

Thanks HenryJ. No I did not clean & lube the slide pins.

kwalsh

This afternoon I serviced the rear brakes on my CC. new NAPA rear rotors (old rotors turned 1x before) & new NAPA Sure Stop pads. Issue #1: passenger side: parking brake drum shoes were covered in a thin layer of grease. Found grease on dirth shield bottom (5:00 - 7:00). I am assuming the rear axle ...

kwalsh

WOW, Walt. As soon as I saw that name on the postings I had to say "Hello".

I don't recall seeing a post from you in awhile. Hope all is well.

kwalsh

WOW!
Yes, the ThunderII will be missed.

I too need to sell my CC & get a full size for the family.

kwalsh

I stand corrected on my posting above of "flush".
Did not perform a true flush; I did not do a 100% fluid exchange.

I only did a 5qt addition of fresh fluid with pan drop & filter exchange.

kwalsh

I've dropped the transmission pan, refilled with fresh fluid & replaced the filter each time.

Flush 1: 50k
Flush 2: 100k
Flush 3: 136k

kwalsh

No codes. I haven't had a DTC code in awhile. never had a code related to transmission or converter. HenryJ, you just jogged my memory. Months before the 'searching' took place between 3-4th I noticed that the rpms would not drop once the transmission shifted into 4th like they once did. The CC went...

kwalsh

The shift points that I adjusted were very minor -3 or -4 I believe. I never adjusted the shift points in an attempt to remove the searching. My assumption is the higher line pressure in the transmission was the culprit.

I'm puzzled.

kwalsh

So I decided to wait awhile before I made this post. About 1 month ago I removed the HPPIII programming for the firmer shifts. Since then I don't have the slippage on the transmission like I once did. Weird. :blink: :?: The most noticeable slippage was going uphill around 45mph in OD. I would have t...

kwalsh

Oh Yeah. I was a bit nervous.

kwalsh

Great News. Glad to hear that everything worked out.

kwalsh

14x4, let me know if you would like for me to speak with Hypertech if you don't get resolution from them. I'm glad I saved the packing slip.

Did the USPS box show up with any damage? (I insured the shipping.)

kwalsh

I never encountered the code 7E error on the unit. Strange.

kwalsh

I recently sold my HPP III to 14x4. I removed the programming from my truck so he could start with a clean slate. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. The issue is the following below: I received the programmer today and attempted to install it. There's a problem!! I went through all of the ...

banks88,
I'll stop by the post office & the UPS store & see who is the cheapest.

kwalsh

Yes. I still have it. I'll snap a picture & post it. You can almost make it out if you look at the picture of the front of my truck here to the left.

kwalsh

The MSD 6A, ORI Prerunner bar & Tonneau cover are still available.
prices are negotiable.

kwalsh

it's worth every penny.
firmer shifts
adjust speedo for tire size
check DTCs when the check engine light appears
adjust rev limiter

The wife gave me the green light to start shopping for a full size.
She mentioned that we will need the extra room for the little ones anyway.

I hate to see my CC go; I was hoping to get 200k before I let her loose.

kwalsh

I priced out a soft parts rebuild kit, $200 - $300 and quotes from the local transmission shops are, $1000 - $1500 for the rebuild.

Yesterday I noticed that my head gasket is leaking.

My dilema: Do I fix the CC or trade it in for a full size bowtie?

kwalsh

Ouch. That's what I was araid of. I think I will need a yeasty beverage (or 2) after work today.
Thank you for the reply HenryJ.

Howdy, Got a transmission that is slipping on my '03 CC, 136k miles. I recently changed the transmission filter & fluid (5qts of fluid) in an attempt that the issue would go away. It hasn't. Here's the description: When the 4L60E shifts from 3-4 it will engage, disengage, re-engage. I assume this is...

Through all my years of shooting I've learned that there is a HUGE difference between the plinking tin can ammo & the high 'M&P' quality take down ammo I've used for qualification shooting.

I just undid my "Hot Feet Fix". It's that time of the year.

I had a similar issue on my 88 S-10. The dash lights, odometer, even the stereo system would flash on & off. The culprit was a loose ground wire on the parking brake foot pedal, of all places,.... go figure...it took me weeks troubleshooting and I have no idea why the ground wire was landed on the p...

kwalsh

Was the fine for trespassing?

kwalsh

Copy. Thanks Brule, I'll check it out....missed that one....

kwalsh

Did you bypass the regulator to determine it was faulty? Could you share the troubleshooting methodology?

kwalsh

Solenoid Valve on the EVAP vent valve is probably the culprit. I recenlty had the same issue and replaced the solenoid valve.

kwalsh

That's great news! It's a lot cheaper and easier than swapping out the fuel pump.

kwalsh

If you're approaching 100k miles pay attention to the fuel pump as a potential issue. My pump died around 120k but it was acting up for quite some time (months). The truck wouldn't start on the first turn of the key. It would turn over on the 2nd turn of the key. I also did exactly what HenryJ sugge...

kwalsh

That was funny!!

kwalsh

I'd do a search on the shocks. A few members have installed the Ranchos. I don't recall that many folks installing the Pro Comp. Did you consider the Bilsteins? I personally have the Bilsteins and love them and they have at least 110k miles on them.

Congrats!!
I won a Ducks Unlimited Charles Daly edition about 3 years ago at a DU raffle.

kwalsh

Thanks for the feedback HenryJ.

I ordered the Delphi OE pump and after jacking the truck up, removal of the fuel tank doesn't seem so bad.

kwalsh

In the parking lot at work today the fuel pump on my 03 CC took a crap at 128k. I'm assuming it's the fuel pump because I do not have fuel pressure at the nipple under the hood & I do not hear the fuel pump turn on...no "buzz"sound. Go figure, during lunch break I filled the tank up so I have a full...

kwalsh

Thanks for the link HenryJ.

I was hoping to order the pipe assembly & install this upcoming weekend. All of that changed this morning; at the gas station all off the pumped gas spit back out. I had to get towed home.

kwalsh

I've had trouble filling up my gas tank for two fills in a row. The back pressure kicks the gas station pump off after a few seconds or about a 1/2 gallon. I can get about 3/4 of a gallon in if I throttle the handle on the gas stationi pump; either way it takes about 15 minutes to fill my tank. This...

I've started the soak with the Sea Foam; next week I'll be changing the bearings.

What direction is the thread on the axle nuts?

Thanks

kwalsh

Update: The Powerslot rotors and Hawk pads were not worth the extra $$. I have to replace them already.
I didn't even get 20k out of them. I do tow a lot but I do not ride my brakes.

I'm going back to the NAPA CMX pads & NAPA rotors.
