Mine's been dead for a few months now. Pretty useless IMO. From what I've heard it'll just die again in the future...

I've seen tons of them on Ebay fairly cheap. Search for a Valance.

Actually, the will rub the most of the back of the front fenders. You'll get some occaisional rub on the front valance, but most will be from the back of the front fender...

I just ordered some new black steel wheels and they are 15X8 with 4 inches of backspacing and -12.00mm offset. I am running 31 x 10.5 x 15 Kumho mud tires on the new wheels. Currently on my truck I have the stock wheels and tires with 2 inch rear spacers and 1.25 inch front spacers. I have the 2 in...

I was driving home tonight and my truck started doing the same thing I mentioned in an earlier thread. Almost like a total loss of engine power for just a fraction of a second. I got home and let the truck idle in park, and the engine kept sputtering at random, like it was about to die. I let the tr...

I replaced mine with the "Help!" cables from O'Reilly AutoParts. They came with a small bolt and snap ring. The entire change takes about 15 minutes.

ahhh....I did not know it was electrically powered. I thought it was belt driven. Ok, thanks guys

BTW, they don't do much of any type of testing here in MS

Hey everybody, I have a ?. I'm considering removing my Air/smog pump. From everything I've read, it's useless to replace them. I can live with an SES light on as I scan my PCM every few weeks or so. My questions here are: 1) What all is involved in the removal of the pump? 2) What size belt will be ...

Jim, hopefully most of the installation, or atleast the starter interrupt, was done using inline wiring harnesses. If so, the most work you'd have to do is trace the wiring from the control unit to the steering column, unplug the inline harness, and plug up the factory(s).

Got that right!!

People do associate American vehicles with problems, I think the main reason why is because of a few import vehicles that seem to do really well. One being Honda Accords. People look at those and a few other models and base their opinions on that.

Nice truck! :D Good luck on the quality. I personally will never buy GM again until Toyota buys them out :( . Too many horror stories here and elsewhere about their reliability you know. One of the many reasons all of Consumer Reports top picks were Japanese branded vehicles. I'm the type of person...

That's hilarious

Looks like I was wrong

I think you have to registered for a certain length of time.

Although I've never priced them, from what I can remember from other posts on the forum, this seems a bit high, but I could be wrong. Someone who's had it done will come along soon and let us know for sure

What kind of kickback do we get?
W00t. I voted

Hey hey!!! Both the S10 that I have owned did this. The gas tanks is on the drivers side, so it will lean abit if there's a full load of gas on board. Mine also leans alot if the ground is even slightly off level. make sure the ground is flat when you measure. Also check your blinker fluid. Sometim...

darn....there goes my potential tire sale

Too bad they left out the best

The S-10 CC

Forget just the bowtie, I want to black out the whole chrome bar!

Actually I'd prefer it to be body colored....but I doubt it'll be changed to either color anytime soon

Mine does it do, as did my 2000 Sonoma I had before my CC. Come to think of it....my F*rd R**g*r did the same thing.... Must be pretty common....

This is a family friendly site, so I "*"ed out profane words

j/k

Mine ES9000's were $36 apiece from summit

Oh yea....it is getting to be that time isn't it?

Kinda like on the new version of "Gone in 60 Seconds". When Cage hits the happy gas button and pulls away from the chopper.

EDIT: well shoot! I was about to pat myself on the back for breaking the 800 mark, but it looks like Brule has been doing some pruning

Since we're talking about the causes of headaches. What about sound? Loud sounds can irratate a migraine. But then there are many different sounds. Looks like we need another thread for sounds now too

BTW, the bulb changing pic is too small.

Hmmm... I like this mod. I'll have to do some searching on Ebay.

Come on you guys! You can't do that! You have to start a separate thread about headaches

Hmmm....guess I need to check the tranny fluid before taking it in. Never done it before.... anything special I need to know about?

While we're splitting topics, we'd better make individual ones for automotive dark suckers, home lighting, outdoor bulbs, aeronautical illumination, underwater lamps, etc..... All in all we need about 15 new topics

Ahem....Jeggers, you used incorrect punctuation in that second sentence.

ok thanks , I don't really need it for a reliable jump starting tool , but it is nice to have it incase .

Zr5OnIt, I like your tire preference

Agreed. Welcome! Guys, let's try to prepare him for the wallet lightening he's about to receive

We've got trucks in all shapes and sizes, from stock, to "Oh my that thing is huge".

And they handle really well under 1000+ pounds of load

But seriously, I agree. I've driven several and have liked them.

Wow....having my front rotors replaced and new shoes on my 00 Sonoma only cost me $240 tax and all. I'd expect some mighty good brakes for that price. Just from looking at that pic, I'd call the state police or whoever before even going back. You installed your Skidz flares yourself and paid $240 f...

I'm not allowed any more cosmetic mods until I get my windshield replaced and airbag light turned off. I gotta go through state inspection in April.

That's the best way to level the truck. I doubt you'll have any problems with 3/4" to 1", as long as they're not cranked up already. Check your Z height measurements and stuff to make sure your bars aren't cranked already if you bought your truck used. If that's the case, you may just need to let on...

What a great reason to get the grille surround painted to match the body

There isn't enough time to press the brake pedal. It happens in a fraction of a second and goes back to normal.

Hmm....well I'm glad for my extended warranty. Most of the hills I'm refering to usually aren't bad enough tomake me downshift into 3rd, so that sounds like a good explanation. Thanks!

Not really sure how to describe this problem, but when in overdriver, my truck periodically shakes. By shake I mean that it feels like the tranny downshifts for just a fraction of a second. Not enough to cause a jerk, but very noticeable nonetheless. It only happens when my truck is in overdrive, mo...

Y not?

Hmm....supposed to rain this Saturday. I can deal with cold, but can't deal with the rain, unless I'm 4wheeler riding

So now what's wrong with hot chocolate?

Oh yea....and you have to promise not to look at the cuts I'll be making to your fenders. They'll probably make you want to cry... Better yet, I'll start at 4 or 5 in the morning with the cutting, and you can join me about eight

As much of a real man as I am, I can't do all that by myself in a day

Need somebody to keep hot chocolate coming

Yea, I'm pretty sure I can do it all in a Saturday. but just remember that I think in 24 hour days

So we may be working from dark till dark

Hey wamason, think he needs addaleaf springs :lol: They wouldn't help :lol: I remember several years ago reading the real story behind this car.

Hey Jim, look on the bright side. Those Jetta's can haul a much heavier load than an S-10 ever could.

This one's carrying 1000+ pounds of lumber, and 800 pounds worth of cement bags in the back seat/trunk.

Cool Thanks man!

So can anyone measure their side bars on their roof rack for me?

A word of caution if you want to mount a battery in your toolbox. I have done this, and while it works fine, our truck beds aren't the sturdiest in the world. Mine actually started bending or deforming under the weight of the battery/toolbox toward the front. If I can find a pic I'll post it to show...

Hmmm.....I'll have to remember to make a loop around the outside of the highschool football field before going home

My battery was replaced about a month after I got the truckin February of 04. Twas almost three years old then. My current stock battery seems to be doing fine two years later

You right coast guys get ready....that storm dumped alot of rain on us here in MS. Good offroading weather down here

Actually it's Walt

Amason is my last name

Cajun, I found one thread that has some good info in it from Top and Brule.

Hope this helps

can you email me a pic of your truck with the rack? I'm really curious to see how it looks

my email addy is in my profile.

The roof rack is supposed to be able to hold a max weight of 100 pounds.

The crossbars also have a slight upward bow as well, which I think would help their capacity.

Have any pics?

I've been bit hard by the modding bug again. I bought a Roofrack on Ebay from a 4 door 2000 Blazer last year, and never put it on.
