Very Interesting. Id like to see it sold as a kit paired with just the new a arms

curtisb

More then likely there would be a small "Ghost line" left under the pinstriping. There was with mine but mine was painted on and a real b***h to remove. If you have sticker pinstriping it shouldn't be as bad, I would recommend you order an MP3 Eraser Wheel. The wheel will take care of the pinstripes...

Nice truck, looks clean. How many miles?

curtisb

That much? 1.4 MPG? I feel allot better about that kinda mileage.

Most likely I'll just deal until I get a I find a deal for an '04 progammer.

curtisb

No i didn't, i don't have a programmer. Is there another way to adjust for the larger you're size?

curtisb

11mpg

Man I guess I am doing well at 14.5.

I was breaking 17 hwy before the lift, tires, and air dam.

curtisb

Thanks guys, i think I'll do a full high end tune up and clean up when my tax money comes in. And probably switch to premium gas, hopefully all that helps. I'm debating doing the electric fan mod as well.

curtisb

So, I'm not getting the best MPG, last I checked it was 14.5 mix of city/highway. :blink: I have the following mods; 2" BL 31"x10.5"x15 Specter CAI Throttle Blade Mod Trimmed front air dam At 174,XXX miles I am working on a full tune up. My next tunes will be cap rotor, plugs and wires. I already di...

curtisb

Welcome aboard. Good site, do the throttle blade mod.

curtisb

That's the plan, hope i can the front diff and the rear axle (zr2) with decent miles. All of my projects are going to be drawn out now that I'm expecting a little one.

curtisb

Sorry, what do you mean by "in the technical stuff".
My low range is definitely touchy now, but more in the gas pedal stuff lol.

curtisb

Wow, can't believe what a big difference the throttle blade mod made. if anyone is waiting to pull the trigger on this mod, do it. So worth it and can't see any reason not to.

That is my only question, any one ever have any thing negative to say about thus mid after doing it?

curtisb

I'm GU6, so I have the 3.42. The ZR2 probably didn't come geared any smaller then the 3.73, but i wouldn't really want to go through the trouble of doing the swap and not getting the better gearing for larger tires and better 4x4ing. On the bright side i can do a slow accumulation and gather all the...

curtisb

Thanks for tip. I'll check those codes. What does the up stand for?

curtisb

I find it vet interesting that you would go through so much trouble to avoid the 2" BL. I want to adder the to my PA 2"body lift. But to each his own, keep us posted cause if the ZR2 front end swap its easier or cheaper then the RCL it'll be something to consider. Just wondering, would the RCL inter...

curtisb

Hey guys, I've been reading through the old threads on this subject but wanted to ask a couple questions. from what I've read the axle swaps right in, no mods needed. But what about matching the front differentials gears to the rear? And how does the ZR2 rear end lock up? With this swap would i be g...

curtisb

Another brother in Victory! (red that is) Check out my ride in the Readers Ride section its got some of the mods you listed. The body lift was easy, the tires are just money (I know that's hard to come by) and intake was well worth it.

Just don't name it Ol' Red.

That ones taken

curtisb

Just the plain 5 spoke LS rims. Not the ZR5's or anything special. :koolaid: I haven't uploaded a picture yet but I'll try to get to them. Here's a link to some on the web (and no that's not the price I'm trying to sell each rim for. I'd be hoping to get that for all 4, but like I said just make an ...

curtisb

Yes welcome, I'm fairly new myself. This is a great site and you'll find lots of info. Good luck with your mods.

curtisb

Hey guys, selling my stock rims. They're off my 04 s10crew cab. Make me an offer. We can look at shipping prices

curtisb

I wish it was for an 04, i can't find anything saying that the model years are interchangeable.

curtisb

Is the hpp3 compatible for other years? I have an 04 and I'm kinda looking around for a programmer and from the features you listed this is one. Oh and I assume that it's not vin locked.

curtisb

So quick question. I'd the hypertech model number for an 04 crew cab 30022? I found some on Ebay. I was also wondering of i should have any concerns about buying a used model?

curtisb

Hey guys, see allot of talk about the throttle plate mod and want to pill the trigger on this upgrade. I'd really prefer to have a stock one on hand encase i mess it up though. So if anyone has a extra plate, moded or unmod I'd like to see if they'd let it go. I'm in central Cali, zip 95380, if you ...

curtisb

Thanks for the reply. I get the advantages of the programmer even if it is mainly for shift points, tire and speedometer correction and things like that. It just seems like allot to pay ($370+ from what I've seen) to not be getting a gain in HP and MPG. I wish they could be plugged in do the changes...

curtisb

My truck is a 2004, but if anyone has one on any year truck I'd like to know if they like it and noticed a large HP/mpg gain.

curtisb

Hey guys, i was wondering if anyone has our has had a programmer or chip on their s10? I've been thinking about trying to get one (not the Ebay specials) but was hoping to heat about some first hand experiences. Only one I've found used in my price range was a hypertech max energy. It was off a 2500...

curtisb

Man that sucks, i had a but of trouble but nothing like that. Being an American company (in California i believe) I'm sure specter would warranty the broken parts, but if i had an experience like yours i wouldn't want another. I went with this over K&N after brewing Specter was better built from thi...

curtisb

Ya, I've been seeing that the 60/40 is common in extended cabs as I have been peeking through windows in the parking lots. I'm going to have a harder time finding a black one in really nice condition, with my truck only being 65,000 miles old the interior is in good shape.

curtisb

Thanks roadrunner, i hadn't thought of that at all. I'll have to keep my eye out foot a middle seat. It'd have to be a small armrest/center console style one but it'd fit the bill.

curtisb

I want to put a front bench in to replace my buckets and center console. I'm thinking the seat out of an extended or standard cab S10 or a Colorado crew (I've seen allot of their crews have front benches). The main features I'll be looking for are the fold down arm rest/console and a a separation be...

curtisb

I'll look at the cable and see how it feels. It seems to be getting a little better but so I'll give it a couple weeks and see how it feels. This morning I went back to the CAI and fixed some of the stuff I rushed through the first time. I moved some ground locations and relays that were contacting ...

curtisb

Have not done the throttle blade mod, I'm waiting till i make another trip to the junk yard and grab a spare one. But i do need to up the idle it seems, i gets pretty low when in neutral. And one more thing, after instilling the CAI when i started it up and tired to rev it up, the gas pedal was like...

curtisb

Right on, mine was on the deck when I got home. So I busted out the useless instructions and went to work. Got in on in a little under an hour (probably would have been easier if the light was fading). So word to the wise the rubber stabilizing stud is not mentioned in the instructions at all, I wil...

curtisb

Back ordered? I ordered mine Wednesday night, UPS tracking says it'll be by three end of the day, today

I think that's just the bonus to having a summit warehouse in Sparks NV, no need for second day air.

curtisb

Well I pulled the trigger on the Spectre Cold Air Intake just a minute ago (Valentines Day present from my wife :thumb: ) I'm really glad I waited and get some input from the site, especially getting to here from someone who has actually owned both. I almost bought a K&N still in the box off ebay. T...

curtisb

Hmmm, I like the the chevy center caps. But I'm not sure thats the look I'm try to achieve. I originally wanted to go all black, but hte red has really grown on me and I think I might keep it longer then I thought (plus I'm cheap and paint jobs aren't). So I think the red lug nuts would be a really ...

curtisb

Sorry I couldn't tell you, I bought them used for $50 and a tool box that wont fit our little beds. I'll try to take a measurement and post the backspacing. But they rub, I trimmed the driver side and still need to trim the passenger side and more off the driver. I'm looking at ordering some some bl...

Here you go guys, i got lot more i want to do to it but it's looking good for only a month in my care. There's a before picture in the "post a pic of your ride" thread.

Turlock, right near Modesto. when I contacted summit they said it was only good up to 03. I'm trying to figure it out. I was thinking of ordering a cheap ebay set up that has the mass adapter and when the filter gets dirty buying a large k&n or Spectre cone to replace it. It's all kinda waiting now ...

Hey everybody, Just thought I'd start with a hello and an introduction. I live in central Ca, I hunt, fish, kayak, snowboard, camp, mountain bike, and love the outdoors. I wouldn't say I'm an offroader but I use my truck for whatever I need it for and want to get it ready for more then I'll hopefull...
