I believe that line goes to a vacuum canister that is between the inner and outer of the front fender. Here is a link that might help you out and it has pics. It might be a hard vacuum line to get back on. About 3/4 of the page down is the pics of the vacuum lines next to the abs http://www.s10forum...

Well if you don't care about the fog lights then you can pick up any clear corner set which is always available like these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/APC-CLEAR-CORNER-PARKING-SIGNAL-LAMPS-LIGHTS-PAIR-98-04-CHEVY-S10-BLAZER-SONOMA-/281199336755?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3AS10&has...

LMs10CrewCab

They quit making those clear corner lights years ago, once in a while you will find a set on ebay and they go for at least $100 still. Our only choices now are removing the fog lights and running clear corners without fogs, or finding a set of clear corners with built in fogs (they can be hard to fi...

^ Your right about that :lol: My radiator started leaking so yesterday I replaced it along with a new thermostat and coolant flush! Two days ago I added prestone cleaner, then I drained the old coolant, removed the T-stat, added just water and ran for ten minutes, drained the water, siphoned out the...

I painted all my lug nut covers, they were all 2 shades lighter than the covers in the middle - now they look like new! I used the leftover can of black plastic spray paint from when I painted my bumper pads. https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-FOuQTdrThPo/U9geeun41VI/AAAAAAAABRE/TM_n6slzPBE/w737-h55...

Welcome to the forum! Glad you figured it out, when I did mine the entire assembly was seized together. I finally put a block of wood between the wheel and the frame and popped it off! Make sure that you tighten the hub nut not too tight or not too loose, I believe the correct amount is 102 - 103 Ft...

I got an airaid intake system on thursday, it was powder coated yellow. I used my better judgement and painted today before I installed it. I used duplicolor victory red along with primer underneath and 3 coats of clear all heat resistance. I ran into a few problems along the way, the system was pus...

Last Monday Dave and I removed the rear axle which was donated to an Old Navy truck project on an S10 frame. A week later my ZR-2 axle is installed, POR-15 bilstien shocks and all new brake lines. More work in progess to come. Oh and its got 270K on it now, 135k on the swapped motor at this point. ...

LMs10CrewCab

I am hoping to do a solid axle swap by next year, here are two my favorite build threads, they are very good builds - each of them has around only 5 to 6" lift in the front. They show every part needed and the pictures really help too! KM346's build http://www.s10forum.com/forum/f221/km346s-build-th...

LMs10CrewCab

The last few days I completely cleaned my frame with the grinder, and today the last coat of POR -15 went on! I used POR-15 rust prevention first and POR-15 top coat, I did the frame, both upper and lower control arms, rear axle, leafs springs, the cross members and made my old rusty hitch look like...

LMs10CrewCab

I replaced my rotor and cap, the holes where the cap screws go into cracked so had to bolt it in the back and zip tied it for extra measure.
Also painted my rear bumper pads, they look like brand new now!

LMs10CrewCab

well today I finally finished installing my passenger side wheel bearing assembly! This is how it went... Started last night, after 3 hours of working, we worked on trying to free the rotor from the assembly but it was "welded" together, we slowly tried to beat it out with the back with the rubber m...

LMs10CrewCab

Your truck is looking good. I kinda wishing I'd have found some center caps. My gpa's truck has a set... Must inquire again about them tomorrow... As far as body lift vs torsion bars. I'm also not a fan of body lifts for the same reason you said, rust. I've never had any luck trying to turn body mo...

LMs10CrewCab

^^ first thanks henryJ and mars for the compliments! yah, but all I have is TB crank and my new 4.25" backspaced rims are not helping that out, I had the truck up on the jack with the wheels at full lock and it was just too close, I know it would rub the fenders, plus I like the "high" look with sma...

LMs10CrewCab

today I gave the interior of my truck a little love! I got it so clean you could eat off the carpet :lol: https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-q1XBWk-Jc60/U1MBRyN6UAI/AAAAAAAAAZc/KLXEp90kgyg/w737-h553-no/DSC00731.jpg https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-RJMkH-k2aGk/U1MBR4n4u_I/AAAAAAAAAZU/TJt2OHirz1k/w7...

LMs10CrewCab

Ok, thanks for the quick tip, those things are kinda expensive, at least it comes as full kit so I don't have to press any bearings in.

LMs10CrewCab

thanks for the feedback! I'm going to get this shackle lift in really soon, then the front is going up, looks like I have a lowered truck for the next week lol! I have yet to see it rub there but thanks for the heads up I will keep my eye on it. Next project is replacing the front wheel bearing asse...

LMs10CrewCab

Well today I took in my truck to get new tires and rims! Long story short they mounted and balanced my new rims on the new tires, then they went to put them on and they rubbed the calipers so they put washers behind the rims and it did not help much, so they realized the truck needed the alignment s...

LMs10CrewCab

yah, but all I have is TB crank and my new 4.25" backspaced rims are not helping that out, I had the truck up on the jack with the wheels at full lock and it was just too close, I know it would rub the fenders, plus I like the "high" look with small tires - I guess I'm just weird

LMs10CrewCab

^ I really like your ride approachmedium, those 30" tires look great on the zr5 rims, I was going to go with 30" tires but I could not bring myself to trim the fenders. This morning I cranked my torsion bars up around 1.5" and then drove to work and home to let them settle, they still were around 1....

Thanks henryJ! Got my 1.25" spacers installed in the rear, and changed my coolant sensor - that made a mess :lol: https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/L4z_333w8pJiE-dBo9aTkNI847W5aH8XjjFxIEzSJWE=s197-p-no https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/kXORJ9JDtBkxxrfLYzNwofBBghXyKQ90Y-XCQ7LUgsc=s197-p-no Then I put...

I have recently been doing a bunch of little stuff to my truck the last couple weeks in prep for my new rims and tires to come!

Hey still got the 3" rear spacers?

Thanks

LMs10CrewCab

Still got the spacers for sale?
I am interested but for the right price, otherwise I am going cragar soft 8's.

Come on help out a buddy with the same color crew ! Thanks

LMs10CrewCab

The right rear is only one with 1" high rust, the left rear is just starting. Front had no rust and I think my rockers are good, just bubbled, ( If I don't sell it in a few weeks I am going to be stripping the paint and fixing whatever comes up) Who sells the bedsides in fiberglass for crews?

LMs10CrewCab

Hello, I tried searching but... I couldn't find the answer. Any help would be great Does anybody know of any companies selling: (1) S10 crew cab rocker panel replacement panels?

LMs10CrewCab

I got lucky with mine, 12 year old DD year round with Wisconsin winters, only bubbled paint on rockers. I couldn't turn it down because every other CC for sale on craigslist has rust dripping from the gas tank lid :) It might have a few scratches, but it is solid. It is still winter here, we live ne...

LMs10CrewCab

Welcome to the forum!
You should find plenty of info around here, I sure did!
I own a 2001 s10 crew in victory red
I am getting ready to do a 2" body lift and 30" tires.

What color is your crew?
Post a pic if you can!

Have a great day!

LMs10CrewCab

I actually just took the topper off, that's when I started looking at it! I am planning on getting it all line-x ed'. And planning on getting the whole sides done too like the S10 Crew cab baja series they never came out with. Wisconsin winters rust out everything, I was really surprised that I foun...

LMs10CrewCab

Your probably right,
I thought it slid out forward, I will try it again tomorrow.
Thanks for the help! Have a good one.

LMs10CrewCab

I am going to removal the pin striping real soon :) I completely forgot that took all the emblems off the topper, I told my brother to take off the stickers ( the ones in the window ) and I came back to find all the emblems taken off :) but after we put goo gone and he used his GUITAR PICK, works gr...

LMs10CrewCab

It's funny, the first post in this thread said there was a rumer that gas was going over $3.00! And everyone was like "probably not real soon". My brother and I saved up our money and we both got Honda sprees 90+ mpg with the petal... I mean throttle to full the whole time - it only goes 28 mph, but...

LMs10CrewCab

You could buy a square bed extender, then you have a full 6 foot bed and mount a tool box up front. It would be like a short bed s10 with a tool box, chances are you only need the extra 2.5 feet when your working, then you can just extend it. I was thinking maybe if you get some sheetmetal, you coul...

hello again, i am new at this, so all this is info is what found searching :D . take a look at this link, scroll down and there is a diagram. s10 forum, liftin' it, 4wd ifs, how to: shackle/torsion lift, page 3, post # 105 http://www.s10forum.com/forum/f220/how-to-2-shackle-torsion-lift-439391/index...

LMs10CrewCab

here I some info I found as well I've got a solution to the alignment issues, ball joint angle, over twisted bars & harsh ride. Earlier this week I did the "ball joint flip", meaning I mounted my ball joints on the underneath of the control arm. if you do, use grade 8 nuts & bolts with locktite on t...

LMs10CrewCab

A ball joint flip is when you mount your upper ball joints under the control arm instead of on top. helps with getting caster/camber closer to where it needs to be.

LMs10CrewCab

Thanks for the correction,
Sorry about that ...

But this will help the bad angles = less fixes and $ hopefully!

Or it's on a 1998 Zr2 frame

LMs10CrewCab

Ya its awesome!

It's probably a 2001 with a 97 front end swap and a ZR2 bed.
I would love to own that beast!

That back bumper is way cool, never seen a roll pan bumper on a lifted truck, wonder where he got the step up tubes welded into the hitch area.

LMs10CrewCab

Hey Probably not it but I will throw it out: A dirty MAF sensor ( should be cleaned when air filter is dirty ) and oxygen sensors ( should be replaced every 80k ) could cause rough idle and misses. I have heard that a dirty MAF filter can cause misses because the air/gas mixture cannot be determined...

I actually been calculating my gas mileage every time, I tried premium twice and it actually gave me the exact same MPG's the first time and .5 less the second - plus it made my truck run way too rich.

LMs10CrewCab

Hey there! I did some research on the following too: Replace thermostat ( makes truck run low which causes bad MPGS) replace coolent sensor ( senses when to open coolent loop ) Replace oxygen sensors ( determines air fuel mixture, replace every 70K, ) Clean MAF ( mass air flow ) it helps with fuel m...

BTW - F9K9 has the nicest CC around! I want to make it like yours, hope you don't mind

I'm hoping my truck looks high enough.
