Thank God you and your family are ok. Also, I have to agree with what has been said here about how this country seems to be so darned good at helping everyone else in the world and yet we can't seem to do anything about ourselves. Sad, really. Personally, I don't think the Military should be an iss...

Hey everybody, figured I'd start a new post about my experience with Hurricane Katrina. I'll star by saying that I've never seen anything like this. The wind started blowing Sunday night, and got stronger Monday morning. By 8AM Monday morning, wind speeds were about 45MPH. The reason I know this is ...

Will do. I thought I'd check things again before I pulled the plug

Brule, It would take me atleast a day to get out of the state, and that's avoiding major highways and interstates.

Peace!

Well, I'll be unplugging and stowing the PC's in a few minutes in preparation for the absolute stomping my area of the state is about to receive. For any of you that have never looked at the left side of my posts, I live in Missippi (yes the spelling is intentional). Mize, MS, to be precise. My work...

I just want to offer some advise , or words of caution in regards to pulleys. Don't assume that the March pulleys will be steel. Most of them are aluminum. Aluminum oxidizes more readily. Belts can tend to slip, and in a dirty environment they wear out fast. When building Streetrods I always substi...

It's ok Warn, we forgive you

Hey Jim, I know this is off topic, but have you ever thought about getting some of the newer vette wheels? Like the 17's or 18's? Those would look sweet on your truck.

Got them from Summitracing.com. I think they were in the neighborhood of $70-90. I think. Do a vehicle specific search on summit and they should come up. It seems like the truck accelerates the same, but it takes much less pedal as it used to

If you're wanting a good MT, I've heard good reviews out of the Firestone Destination MT. They're rated very highly on Tirerack.com.

Ok, on Zr2.com, they say that the correct belt size needed is actually 91.5" 6 groove. Is this correct?

Good riddance to the piece of junk

My instrument cluster looks like a traffic stop in progress because of that stupid thing (SES, ABS, and EB lights).

I have also noticed a metallic ticking sound, however my truck makes the ticking noise when ever it is running, not just when it is moving. It doesnt sound like it is coming from a wheel or other part of the drive train...I have crawled under the truck and checked for loose exhaust components and s...

HenryJ wrote:BFG AT's were the "choice" early in this forum's history. They tend to run a little bigger than some, but many rave that they are a good tire as well.

I am one of those. I have been thoroughly pleased with mine.

Steve, what kinda of performance gain can be had with this mod, if any?

Wow....that's about on the same performance level as replacing your muffler bearings

Howdy folks, just finished replacing my stock sparkplug wires with MSD Superconductor 8.5mm wires. If you haven't replaced your plug wires, DO IT! Let me say that again, DO IT!! I have 50K miles on my CC now, and the difference is incredible. Much more power in the mid RPM range, and a bit more in t...

I've only been really offroading once since I got my BFG AT's, and I was extremely impressed. The trail we went down (or up) consisted of mostly red clay and rocks ranging from pebbles to four or five feet in diameter (these were imbedded in the ground), so there was a variety of surfaces to cross. ...

I've always liked Rockford Fosgate because they seem to do the opposite with their power ratings...underestimate so that you can be pleasantly surprised by their abilities. 8) RF was a good brand. They made their best stuff back when it was just Jim Fosgate. RF went down hill quickly when they star...

I hope no one ever buys that with the intentions of listened to actual music with it on

I couldn't break my stock tires loose on dry pavement, now my 31's are certainly no exception

A small spark is normal. Your vehicle will almost always have something drawing current, even when the truck is off. I've never had an AC Delco battery that lasted me longer than 2 years. Somehow the original battery in my CC lasted until I bought it--then died two weeks later. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Do you have the Firestone A/T KO 31 x 10.5 x 15 ?
And BL?

BF Goodrich AT KO's.

It'll be a bit of a gamble with 31's after the BL, but I would go that route. Mine don't rub at all, and I've BFG all terrains with a very square tread design.

Looks like Pioneer hasn't changed much in the last year or two. They're still exagerating their power specs on their woofers. 1200 watts max sounds great, but when you look at the RMS rating of 300 watts, it doesn's seem so awesome anymore.

I'm getting a set of those! I love the look, plus my local body shop manager will paint them to match my truck for free

Don't the ZR2's have a larger/stronger front and rear diff? That might be an option as well.

Reed, if you ever decide to get rid of that brush guard, lemme know

Ace, I took the same route as F9K9, get the old style hooks that mount below the frame--no drilling or modifications required.

That CC reminds me of when they have to transport monster trucks. They take off the big 6' tall tires and put on tiny tires. The lift does look insane though, I wonder how many inches it has?

Do the CC's have better brakes than our 2wd cousins? I don't consider myself a hard driver at all, but I went through a set of pads every 26-30K miles on my 00 Sonoma X-Cab. It takes alot less pedal travel to brake with my CC, and it seems to stop quicker too.

I'm certainly no expert on this subject, but I would think that there shouldn't be any play at all. Could it be a bearing failing?

Shoot.. I wish I'd jumped on this earlier.... $30 is alot better than $70

I agree with Mark, it does kinda look like a roller skate now

Hmmm....that crew is in major need of larger tires....oh Justin! Here's your next custome!

Getting a good set of components to go in the dash will make a huge difference. I personally hate the location of our front door speakers, it's to easy to block the sound with your leg.

Hey everybody, I've been thinking about spraying my toolbox with duplicolor (I think) spray on bedliner coating.

Mark, what type of wheels are you running? And what backspacing? And you're running 31's right? Have you cut or bent anything to keep from rubbing?

Do you have any before pics ? I would really like to see a pic before the Bl,Tbarcrank/shackles so I could compare . Looks really nice though , what kind of front bar/light setup is that ?

Yep, 2" BL, TB's are cranked about an inch and a half, and shackles on the rear.

It sounds just like boiling water on a stovetop. So I need to get a new radiator cap.... How much will the dealership charge for a coolant flush? Or is it hard to do by oneself?

I'll bet this is something that I'm supposed to know but for some odd reason don't

Hey everybody! For the last few days I've noticed that after I turn my truck off, I hear the sound of liquid boiling or bubbling. I know better than to take the radiator cap off to check it, :lol: so I'm just assuming it's coming from the radiator. I'm fairly sure that this isn't normal, but I keep ...

No one's mentioned ProComp shocks, so I guess I'll throw my 2cents in. I've never owned Bilsteins or Rancho's, so I have no basis on which to compare shocks, but I'll give you my opinion. I bought my ES9000 shocks for about $35 per shock. The front rides about the same as stock to me, but the rear i...

If you get new Torsion Bar Keys, you'll have MAJOR front end problems. From what I understand, our front suspension doesn't have alot of room for adjustment.

A body will look OK with stock tires...but you'll get sick of them pretty soon, especially with the extra clearance. You can fit 30's on stock wheels with no problems. 31's will fit but will rub the inside of the fender well. If you go with a wheel with less offset than stock, you'll rub more. If yo...

Take Jeff's advice. Those will be the biggest tires you can squeeze without a body lift. If you get a 2" body lift, you can fit 31x10.5x15's with a few small modifications. Before getting tires, why not get a body lift first? It can be purchased for under $200. And if you're mechanically minded, or ...

I get 230-250 miles on a tank....that's mixed driving too... sucks doesn't it?

Ever heard the expression "When momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy"? That applies to wives as well

You will notice your RPMs being higher at almost any speed. Unless you regear, your engine will be turning more RPMs than it would with stock tires.

$25 is not alot considering the time you would save. I will be setting my KC's up the way I have listed above, to have a little fun
