How do you reset the light if you want to change your own oil? :?: I wasn't aware that the newer crews set a oil change light :?: On the full size you turn the ignition to the on position, depress the accellerator pedal three times and wait for the light to flash. That resets the oil change interva...

Does anyone know if the radio on the 2003 S-10 has external inputs on the back? I am looking for a way to directly connect my iPod to the radio amplifier. I currently use a tape cartridge that does it but way to much hum.

Thanks
Bennie

melloyellow

Well that saved some time. Now I need to go to Radio Shack and get a couple parts to build my own mini 12V regulator.

Bennie

melloyellow

I am going to measure the voltages on the harness. I am looking for a 12V accessory link for my iPod. Then I won't need the lighter.

melloyellow

I guess I just need to order my 2.5 inch set for the rear then.

melloyellow

I ordered my spacers from 2 different companies. They are both 1.5 inch spacers. One set is from Performance Wheel and Tire for $145 with shipping. It came with no lug nuts. They are also about .5 inches bigger in diameter. The other set came from AIM Industries for $127 with shipping. They came wit...

Nope. I am working on replacing that next week. I am going to go and buy a spare and wheel to put in there.

I would have thought you have gotten better than 18 mpg with that lid. Have you checked it since it was installed? Also, I run 93 all of the time. I'm on a car allowance from work and they pay for all of my gas. :D Just wondering? , what altitude do you run at? I was just wondering because I have a...

melloyellow

I have done the HyperTech upgrade so my speedometer is correct. I get 15 mpg in the city and about 18 mpg on the highway. I would like to find ways to boost that up. I would be excited to see 18 and 20 instead.

try a lighter foot and not going over 55mph

Without the above is their any way to increase the milage on these trucks? I would like to force it up to 20mpg.

melloyellow

Ok HenryJ. How much and what do we have to do to get like that?

melloyellow

After all the mods that is my next venture is wondering into the wilds. Maybe some geocaching. Right HenryJ.

melloyellow

Got it done today. Drilled the 3 holes on each side and put in the new hitch. Went off without a hitch.

Looks good. Also got the side bars raised today. Just another day of mods.

melloyellow

I think I will also be ordering one of these Boise kits myself. Have yours settled any or are you still at 2 inches of lift? How's the ride when loaded? I'll have to measure to check for sure, but I haven't noticed any settling. As for the ride, the only difference that is noticeable ,is that it si...

melloyellow

I know I am still at 2". Not much settle in my case. The ride is stiffer but I like it that way. Is is a truck.

Mine also came from Boise. Brule and I put them on. You can see pictures at http://www.s-10crewcab.com/coppermine/.

is anyone looking to get ride of a set of there black nerf bars off of a ZR5?

I got the two rear shocks today and installed them. Will see how it rides tomorrow. My guess much different as working the Bilsten's was really hard. The old ones just moved in no problem. They never did extend back out. Pretty sad that a new truck has bad shocks on it.

melloyellow

Right about $1200. It is lined and the wing has a break light built in.

melloyellow

I know this is going to sound stupid but I don't know the answer. What is the difference between a fleet and a sport side truck? I am ordering a hitch P/N 81610 from Valley Industries. The one thing they say is "it will fit as long as it's a fleet side and not a sport side truck". So I just thought ...

melloyellow

HenryJ. What was the part number and manufacturer of the trailer hitch you were referring to? I know it is a 3 piece hitch but need to find it as soon as possible. Lots of work waiting here for me when I got back. Also will post pictures of the new cover this evening. It looks great.

Is there a particular place people are buying these from at a good price? A local place wanted $500 for one.

Ok. I got some mods done and would like to get my speedometer adjusted. I talked to two different Chevy shops today and both say the speedometer can't be adjusted outside of the P245 or P275 range on the 2003. So how do I get it adjusted for the 31's? By the way can't wait to get home. Got called to...

Another mod just waiting for time. Oh and maybe money.

I will have this ordered before the end of the week and the spacers and the tires......

Day 1 is complete. What a day. The lift kit is in. It was really very smooth. We picked up the leafs this afternoon so will start again tomorrow at 6am. The leafs, shocks, and fix the side rails are the last few things. It is up and drove just fine to Boise to pick up the leafs. HenryJ has all the s...

The place in Sacramento thought I was crazy inventorying the parts. It took all 5 kits to find the oil filler brackets. Only 1 box had them. He is calling PA tomorrow to find out why. Only got the front shocks. I am going to talk to a couple of companies and see if they can get the spacers and shock...

melloyellow

Well I made it in one piece. I am at the Best Western here and they have high speed internet access. I talked to HenryJ and we are getting together at 6am tomorrow morning. I was able to get the 2 front Bilstens but not the rear. So I need them and the spacers. Not a biggie. This is going to be fun....

melloyellow

What gear ratio do you have?, Hopefully the 3.73:1 and the G80 rear.

The above is exactly what I have. So we are a go. 31's

melloyellow

One quick last question. You all think I should put on the Bilsten shocks as long as we have it apart? I can probably pick those up tomorrow. If anyone has some part numbers that would be great.

melloyellow

Well it looks like most stuff is set and ready to go. I am packing up tonight. I will be leaving here in Lemoore, CA about 7 - 8am. First stop Sacramento for the lift kit. After that it will be onward to HenryJ's place. 760 miles or 3 tanks of gas in my truck. I am going to document it all. I am cha...

It is coming together. The shop in Sacramento has 5 PA-192 kits in stock and they are open Sunday for me to stop and pick them up. Spacers, I will be looking for those. Pretty exciting. We are also going to document it all with pictures. As for the super charger I thought that was going to be a Sund...

I want to confirm this is the lift kit I want. I will call and see if they have one in stock for pickup on the way. I will find this kit for pickup.

melloyellow

If your serious about this. I will be leaving on Sunday the 28th. I will try to come up with the PA192 right away. I will need an address to have it shipped to you. Also it is to late to contact Boise Steel. As it is only an hour away. Can probably do it on Monday. It is 760 miles to your place. I w...

I just happen to be going to Idaho next week HenryJ. I could probably leave Sunday be there Monday. I would be willing to pay for the help. I haven't worked on trucks in years.

This will probably give away my age but, what is the verdict on air shocks. We use to use them all the time to get cars off the tires. They were strong enough for our race cars. Is their something about them that they can't be used in raising a truck application. They could be put on all 4. I am sur...

This is my next mod. Hard to believe this is an S10. Of course mine will be yellow with a graphite black gull wing. Should be ready in the next few days.

melloyellow

It cost me $250. I like it. Much cheaper then Rhino. My guess they are about the same. The local company here that does it and they do both recommends this as the Rhino fades in our area of central CA.

melloyellow

I just did that to mine. The holes are about a quarter inch. 2 on each side. When they did the superliner on mine they covered them completely. I didn't like the bed liner that came stock.

To HenryJ. I am kind of surprised my subject didn't post with the text. I like that Thunder II. When my ZR5 grows up that is the lift I want on it.

On the CV joint subject. I am going to raise the front 2 inches with the torsion bars. Lots of discussions on premature failures of the CV joints. Is their any facts to this.
