Ahh ok. Thanks for the heads up

Order went through. I ordered a $7 compass (I really did need one :lol: ). I find myself wondering about the quality of the binocs.... Compare them to the ones on page 23. Descriptions are exactly the same. I know....and that's what is worrying me. It's possible they accidentally duplicated the des...

Something else to think about: A body lift may not raise the frame higher off the ground, but in raising the body, it increases your approach and departure angles, which can be useful in some offroad situations. EDIT: I forgot to mention this. Justin (bubaloo1983) also makes shackles. He's a member ...

I think I'll stick with tow hooks, or other frame-mounted recovery points.

I had to leave a voice message on their customer service hotline as mine still won't go through.

I agree with Jigg, you don't want to exceed the maximum adjustability that the stock keys offer. You'll run into some issues if you do. Don't forget to add in the cost of an alignment. That quickly turns a free torsion bar crank into a $50 torsion bar crank. :lol: Personally, I'd take the truck to a...

Ahh. I cut a small piece of tubing to use in mine. I thought it was pretty common knowledge. Sorry for not adding that bit of detail.

When you guys refer to a "supported hitch pin", you're talking about using a metal spacer on the inside of the receiver tube that the pin slides through, correct?

Alot

Maybe a come-along?

Well Brule....I'm fairly interested.

I think you should go for it.

I vote for the Jeep Reed. Gotta love that removable top.

A biker had a hand in designing that truck, if it wasn't one of Jesse James' creations. The mile high shifter is proof of that. :lol: I was thinking that was more of an old hot rod design que........interesting That's a good point.

I guess I've always been a bit cautious when using receiver shackles and hooks. If you use the hitch pin, you run the risk of breaking the pin, or worse, bending it so it can't be removed. BUT, I'd rather have a bent pin than a 15-30 pound shackle/hook flying through the air at 120mph. :lol: IMO, th...

Have you checked the fluid bearings in the brake calipers?

Just kidding

But seriously, be on the lookout for other problems with the ABS light. Vacuum, 4wd, etc.... They should rename that light from "ABS" to "Guess what?"

I'm willing to bet that it's Jesse James' stretched CC. Looks very similar.

I didn't. I don't believe I saved the paperwork. To be honest I was checking my aux reverse lights last night and couldn't see any significant difference in brightness between the generic and the other bulb. I'm afraid I'm guilty of this as well. I swapped the bulbs in just ahead of stormy weather,...

Just curious as to how everyone else who bought the bulbs are liking them. Mine have long since blown.

That trailer setup looks pretty sharp. I take it you're pretty good at welding?

oh cool! A camper on a trailer! I've never seen that before. Makes sense when you've got a something else to haul as well. :lol: We have the benefit of being one of the few sites on the net tha has a very good natured membership.

I originally bought the O'Reilly Help! cables to replace mine. They were starting to rust as well. My dealership (where I just had the truck fixed) went ahead and put the new stainless on free anyway :) I just called the tech I know, told him I had a letter, and he said they'd take care of it, and t...

Reed, the tow hooks you and I have are pretty stout. After Katrina I gave the crew a workout pulling trees around. Several pieces weighed more than the crew. One almost pulled me into a ditch. No bending of the tow hooks or frame

HenryJ wrote:I really lucked out. The handles of the removable winch rest against them just right Boy did I get lucky.

That might just help out if you ever bump into anyone with the winch still attached.

I don't know if it's completelly dead. The fuse is blown of course. When I replaced the fuse a while back it just blew again. Where are the points that I need to plug? Are the at the air pump? Or is there a way to keep the check valves closed to prevent any air from passing either way?

Down with the air pump! Down with the air pump!!

Did I mention I think that the air pump is a complete waste of material?

The Tech I know was going to do the labor for free. My extended warranty is from a private company. They cover pretty much everything the GM extended warranty covers, and a bit more, with the exception of the air pump. I'm thinking about taking the air pump off. Is there a way to plug the lines or t...

That's really all I told them about the engin--No power below 2K RPMs. They replaced the defective injector. I didn't get a chance to talk to the tech I know who worked on it, as someone else picked it up for me. I do trust him though, and don't think he would do me wrong.

Well. I'm still very frustrated. after getting my truck back, there is still no power below 2k.

Got my letter last Friday. New cables will be on the truck before it leaves the dealership tonight.

Kermit, if you do some major fender cutting (like what is required for Skidz flares) you should be able to fit a 32x11.5x15, but like Reed said, it is uncharted territory

I dropped the truck off at the dealership last Wednesday (I think it was Wed.). The insurance company cut me a check for $800 to get the door fixed, and the manager of the body shop did it for $400 :D It pays to get to know people. They also found a few things wrong in the service department. One ba...

You'll rub the back of the front fenders, the front valance, as well as the top of the fender. I'm not trying to sound discouraging, but I'd stay away from 31x10.5's without a body lift. You can get away with 30x9.5's. One member here ran 31x10.5's with nothing but a set of skidz cutout flares, and ...

I am already gathering a list of mods that I want to do to my truck. But, unlike my S-10 or Silverado, when I go get chrome wheels for my truck, it will cost me a whopping $8 bucks!!! :lol: Then you'll need new tires, which are $40 from Tower Hobbies. Since those will be slighly larger, you'll need...

I've been out of my RC phase for about six months now.... It's a bigger money pit than the crew. I just sold my brushless E-Maxx, and my brushless 4-Tec, but I still have my good'ole Stampede for occaisional use.

What sites have you had problems with besides Winblows updates? I've yet to find a site that won't work besides that one.

Is the wind noise coming from the corners of the actual windows, or the doors? My front driver's side door has an air leak at the front of the door, just above the mirror. It causes excess noise, and drips a bit when it rains hard. I fixed it by pulling on the part of the door a bit. I guess you cou...

They just never seem to blend with the truck, plus mot of them are single din and IMO look odd in the double din (or is it 1.5) slot on GM vehic...

loki wrote:Hey hey!!

Whats toothing?

Run your hand back and forth over the tread on the tire. If you feel a roughness in one direction, that is sawtoothing. Rubbing in one direction is smooth, but rubbing the opposite direction is rough.

That's the best explanation I could find.

Hey hey!! Speaking of radios, can anyone pass along the phone numbers and dealer numbers for unlocking the radio? I bought my truck used, and it didn't come with the unlock codes. I found it once on the net for my xtreme, but now I can't seem to find it. I figure it wouldn't be a bad idea to have t...

It's also a good idea to check the grommet on the firewall on the passenger side. Alot of people have had a wet floorboard after running wires through it because it can be hard to get it to seal.

top_sgt wrote:pioneer and alpine make nice replacements!!!!

Yes yes! I second the Alpine nomination as that is my favorite brand HU.

Looking good Steve.

If the radio is keeping the correct time, I don't think the wiring is the problem. More than likelly the unit itself is defective.

Ohh man...poor cars... Make sure you've got good insurance in case you run over a few.

Look at the first pic and then wonder where the frame came from. Good point....guess I had a "stupid" moment. :lol: EDIT: These pics show a bit more. http://www.michiganrednecks.com/album/mudtrucks/vinces5-6-2006/slides/IMG_0022.JPG http://www.michiganrednecks.com/album/mudtrucks/vinces5-6-2006/sli...

Those pics make me wonder if the frame/drivetrain is from a semi or large commercial truck, modified for ground clearance.

Anything pulled with a minivan can't be that bad.

EDIT: Never mind.

With around 6000 pounds total (including trailer weight), mine got a bit squirrely at 75+

Well, it's gone. Sold it last night. He only had $1200 and I started at $2K. We ended up at $1700. He did have more money after all.

Just incase anyone was wondering what the "CT" package is: Chevrolet Towing.

f9k9 wrote:But, does it have a heated tailgate?

Reed, the heated tailgate option wasn't available on the larger one ton plus models. Those came with a CT option package.

Concerning the TB crank, your results may vary. Some people never experience problems with a moderate crank, while others do. The boot can be replaced, or you can use a large hose clamp and repack it with grease. The body lift would be your best bet to lift the truck as it won't affect your suspensi...

ive seen lift kits that come with new shackles and new torsion keys that change the indexing of the keys themselfs, allowing for 1-3 travel instead of maxing out the stock keys , any ideas guys?? , im going to do a body lift first , but maybe new torsion keys and shackles would be a reliable additi...

Another good way to measure, that eliminates the tire variable (pressure) is to measure from the center of the wheel to the bottom of the center of the fender.

Everyone that gets one installed sells the truck, disappears or both. Even some of those who consider one ,sell the truck.

You couldn't help it

All S-10 cc's that I know of are 4x4. I have a 2001, which was the first year they were available in the US. In 02 they added the zr5 option package.

In the town I work in, I know of 5. Two with the zr5 option and 3 without. All but one are driven by old women and a very old man. scary.....

thanks guys, so I guess it's conclusive that if your going with 31" x 10.50 tires then your going to need to do some minor cutting on your fender. So be it. I ran 31x10.5x15 BFG ATKO's on stock wheels and never once rubbed (2" BL, TB Crank) until I changed wheels, but then I got Skidz cutout flares.

RickZRX wrote:.... it's drier than a popcorn fart

I can honestly say that I have never heard that one before!

It helps the truck breathe better. The inlet hole for the box is normally only 2" I think. While this is good for keeping debris and water out of the box, it's not good for airflow.

Ok, I must be having a stupid moment.....what's a THL?

On a Zr2, you could say it has a suspension lift. The suspension mounting points are lower on the frame, resulting in a higher ride height than non-Zr2 S-series trucks. If you don't want to affect ride quality or handling, you could go with a 2" or 3" body lift. I know you can run 32x11.5x15's with ...

I think this his how most lift kits work.... I think.
