Nice job, wish I had some welding skills like that. I just cut mine, riveted in place and painted.

Just changed my very first wheel bearing, did the front right (currently at 118K miles) was as simple as henryj said. Took about 2 hours start to finish including a 4 tire rotation.

Flares have been sold

Still for sale, make an offer

It is just the set of 4 flares. The bumper flares are still on the truck.

I have a complete set of 4 ZR5 fender flares for sale. I pulled these off of my 2003 crew cab a number of years ago when I put on the MML in 2009 . I've had them stored in my garage since they were taken off. I gave them a quick hand wash for the pictures below to get the dust off. One of the rear f...

I'll take some pics tomorrow and post them up

ludwis

I still have my stock ZR5 flares if anyone is interested. I took them off when I put on skids flares as part of the MML.

Some of the bolts that hold them on we're rusted when I took them off.

If anyone is seriously interested I can take some pictures

These are still for sale. They look the same as the pics above. They have been sitting on a shelf in my garage.

$75 shipped seems reasonable to me.

Just finished my ZR2 axle swap so I no longer need my 3" spacers. As HenryJ pointed out earlier - they are available new on ebay for $95 + $14.99 shipping from complete value.

I remember seeing a way to do this in the owners manual of all places. I believe that you have to quickly turn the "dome override" on and off 4 times. Then it goes into manual mode.

I typically get all my service needs done at the dealer. They seem to do a good job and if I ever have an issue with the truck I would have some history with them.

If the dealerships overwrites the HPP3 with a PCM upgrade you can easily restore the HPP3 programming. The HPP3 stores the VIN of the vehicle it uploaded to.

Then you truly do work magic because I could not see any way of getting that top bolt in with the front most cab mounting point installed. We had zero tolerances there on my '02 and Top's '04.

Given that I an now 7 days out of warranty, what do you guys recommend? I have never had a problem with the rear end, noises or otherwise. Would the dealer fix this given that the TSB is from 2004? Should they have to inspect the rear end at the same time? If they refuse, how do I fix/inspect myself?

ludwis

To clarify, should our vent tube look just like the picture in order to be the "corrected" version?

Mine looks exactly like the picture. To the best of my knowledge I have never had this part "serviced".

This is slightly off topic from vehicles, but someone here will probably know. Where should I look to get a muffler for my snow blower ~8hp to quiet it down. Ideally I would like it to be as quiet as a car, but I'll take what I can get. Right now it sounds like a harley with straight pipes...

I looked at them earlier today at summit, they are still there.

We are one step closer, just finished installing the 3" rear spacers and moving the 1.5" spacers to the front.

I have front & rear bilstein shocks are on order and the skidz flares are in the garage.

Still need to order the body lift, boise spring kit, and tires.

ludwis

Did anyone answer this post? I'm about to order the parts for this mod and would like to double check the numbers.

ludwis

doh, I would hate to be the engineer that designed that one.

ludwis

Where does the vent line exit again (in the 'broken' state pre TSB). I should probably check to see if this has been fixed. A picture would be a big help.

Thanks in advance

ludwis

Quick question, will the 33"x9.5" tires clear with the SKIDs flares but without the body lift? If it makes a difference the truck is a street queen and does not go off road. Just trying to figure out the order in which I get/install the parts.

Have you noticed any impact on the electric bill? I was thinking about the timer because 900 watts running for a long time could get quite expensive.

Henry, I'm curious how you typically use the cab heater. Do you have an extension cord running into the garage hooked up to a timer? I figured I could do that and set it to turn on mabye 20min before I typically leave for work. Also, where do you have it mounted? I remember seeing a picture some whe...

On a related note, once I get my 33's (Mystery Lift), what would the side affects be if I got a flat and used the full size (stock) spare? How far could you drive on it? 1, 5, 50 miles with out any issues?

ludwis

What spacers are you running in the front? I have 1.5" in the rear now with the stock flares. I was planning on going 3" in the rear like yours when I put on SKIDs cutout flares (when the weather gets warmer) then I was planning on moving 1.5" spacers that were on the rear to the front.

Thats classic

On the contrary the speakers will work just fine. The amp is rated for 75 watts per channel with a 4 ohm load. If you are using an 8 ohm speaker then the power to the load will be cut in half compared to the 4 ohm speaker. You will end up with 37.5 watts per channel at 8 ohms. If there are any other...
