I like the crown vics. My parents have had two Grand Marquis', which are the same thing. The engine doesn't just put you back in your seat like the Impala's did, but there's steady acceleration up to 130 :) My parent's used to have a Caprice Classic, it was the last year model they made.

Wow....that does suck. I think I've seen Autozone carry something similar to this kit....I'll check the next time I stop in.

303 HP? Their commercial at one time said 330. Did they change it before production?

Also, I found out from a friend on the MS Highway Patrol that Chevy will have a rear wheel drive version next year

He said that the Crown Vic is going byebye.

Yes, a 5.3 liter DoD (Displacement on Demand). 330 Horsepower

Sounds very good. This one had dual mufflers and resonator tips. It's hard to describe the sound, but it's definitelly not the sound of a sedan

Just got to drive one of the new Impala SS's :D A friend of mine just bought one, loaded out. That thing will run. He let me drive a few minutes, then we swapped and he took the needle past the 140MPH on the speedo in a heartbeat :lol: The car is bone stock. Needless to say, I'm impressed :D Anyone ...

I've noticed a very harsh ride with my sway helpers :( But I did tighten then down a good bit, so maybe I need to loosen them up some :) The front doesn't seem any rougher after the bushings, but the rear hops a but over bumps now.....something I was accustomed to with my X-cab, but certainly not in...

Ya, with the new tint laws in MS, things are going to get ugly :lol: An MHP friend of mine told me that anything below 35% will be illegal.

I went airborne two or three times.

I'm running 15x8 wheels with 4" of backspacing and BFG AT KO 31x10.5x15's with Bubaloo's flares and don't rub at all. Wait, correction, I have rubbed ONCE :D We were trying to trap a cow a few days ago and I had to drive pretty fast through the pasture back to the main gate to close it. I went airbo...

With only 4" of backspacing you will rub absolutely

Unless you get Bubaloo's cutout flares

I would take it to a dealer. But be prepared, you may never get it fixed correctly.... I don't know if our vehicles are cursed with this problem or what, but I've gone through everything. PCM reflashed, enter fuel sender assembly replaced, etc... Mine still gets to 1/4 then drops in 5 miles...

Looks like the bug is spreading :) IMO, the bushings and sway helpers should be a "first mod" for anyone getting a CC or S-10 for a daily driver. The road to my house is curvy, so I tried some aggressive driving the other day. There's one curve that would have had the tires squealing at 55MPH I can ...

The sheekwit project is temporarily on hold.... will update l8r.

Either way it's not a good idea considering most of the people that have done the 2" or 3" suspension lift have had alot of problems with them. The 5" or 6" lifts seem to fare alot better.

No, not that meaning

We've always called people twinkies that looked alike. Has nothing to do with anything else

Maybe I should retract me original statement

Thanks

Oh man....having to work at a Ford dealership.... that sucks man....

Reed, when you do the bushing, do the sway helper springs at the same time

Also, put them an #1, the intake can wait

Ok.....here's my review. Talk about night and day difference! I'm still having to adjust my driving style to make up for the difference in handling.

Ahh ha! Those are the caps I have coming

Grrrr....I just bought them for $40!

Thanks Steve!

If the the caps turn out to have faded when I get them, I'll just spray a little black primer and some gloss black paint on them and the nut caps.

Yes, they're OEM black center caps from an older model S-10. They help on by the lug nut caps. They have a gold Chevrolet logo in the center. Got them off Ebay. Brule, I had intended to tell them to put the white letters on the inside, but it slipped my mind :( Oh well....guess I haven't completelly...

This is a greek tragedy

The techs at my local dealership will usually work things out to be covered by my non-oem extended warranty.

My warranty wouldn't cover replacing my fuel level sensor, so they just ordered an entirelly new pump assembly with the level sensor built in

One more reason to chuck the old test light in the dumpster is that in todays computer controlled electronics , the circuits may not be able to handle the load the test light adds. It is best to use a multimeter. Thanks for sharing and :wave: welcome! Exactly what I was going to say :D I have had t...

They have wide range. I have bought from them several times. Their brightest white LED's are similar to what you'd find in an LED flashlight. Just make sure that you get the correct resistor, as most of the intensities and colors require different resistors.

Not to mention having the mother of all road hums

And a rough ride

They look like Interco tires. Super Swampers to be more specific.

I think I remember him saying that after the flares he didn't rub unless his suspension flexed.

Rock was running 31x10.5x15's with just the cutout flares....so you should be fine too. You'll rub the frame unless you use spacers in the front.

You could also wire up a bright white LED or two and mount them in the bottom of your mirror housings. A couple of white LED's will work fine for that, and won't be noticeable.

Just a bit of advice. If you're looking for better sound quality, you should replace the stock head unit, and speakers together. Replacing one without the other kinda defeats the purpose

I'm still undecided. My 31's will remain on my truck for a while. So I probably won't be experimenting any time soon... If they made a 32x10.5x15, that would probably be a good choice

My wheels are coming in today!!!

I ordered the Bushings and Helper springs mentioned in the threads posted in this forum last night. They'll be here Friday. Hopefully I'll be able to tell a big difference after installing them. I'll post my review afterwards

If you're more into photography as a hobby, a camera with good optical zoom is a must. Just make sure the camera has some type of stabilizing technology built in. Otherwise you'll have to use a tripod to get non-blurry shots at a very high zoom level.

I'm no expert here, but the clank you heard is probably the locker in the rear diff engaging if your truck is equipped with one (check for the G80 code in the glovebox). Your 4wd problem might not have anything to do with the clank. The reason I say that is because if you truck is equipped with the ...

I just got my wife a Vivtar 8300s, it's an 8 megapixel. Excellent camera. I shopped around and decided on it. It's tiny, but has a 2.5" LCD. Also, you have to be careful when buying a camera with a res higher than 7MP, because some have noise in the pics. It seems to be a technological limitation th...

I know this thread has gotten long, but I had to post one mo time :P Brule, I'm still wondering about 33x10.5x15's or 32x11.5x15's. I'll be using 15x8 wheels with 4" of back spacing (Cragar 342's). I don't care about rubbing the frame, which shouldn't be too bad anyway because of my back spacing, bu...

So by me going with 4" BS wheels and no spacers up front, it would actually be better for some of my front end components than stock?

Update!

Checked with Summit again, and they have TWO left!

So I have two coming from Summit and two from Jegs. Summit upgraded me to 2 day shipping for free since they only have two in stock.

I wouldnt go with either 1 :lol: Chrome wheels wouldn't look quite right on my truck :) Have a dilemma. I went ahead and ordered the 342's. I know....everybody's got them, but the more I compare the two, the more I like the look of the 342's :? I ordered them from Jegs, and two of them will be here...

Well....I could never make up my mind on what I wanted for Christmas, so I received cash from my folks and my in-laws (yea baby!). I'm currently stuck between two wheels. Both made by Cragar.

You know you really have an advantage over most of us. You can do a 2" BL and be as high as a TM lifted CC, or do a 3" BL and be as high as an SL lifted CC

If you run 2" spacers on the front, with a BL and TB crank, without the flares, you will rub the fenders like a mofo... 1.5" probably won't be much better. With 2" spacers, my 31x10.5.15's don't rub the frame. Of course now with the flares, they don't rub anywhere :D I will be getting my new wheels ...

Get a highlift jack

I've used mine twice to pick my rear end up out of ruts and move it over a bit. Takes some effort and time, but it beats having to call someone if you're by yourself

While I'm not a huge fan of the Zr5 wheels on a CC, they look awesome on your Blazer

Alright, Tom, you're missing one thing now. That Blazer needs to go up!

Looks good man!

As quoted from http://4wheeloffroad.com/web/blog/

He also spied a sneak peak of a light duty 3/4-ton with a 4.9L Duramax V6 backed by a 4L80E. No word on when we might see this engine in production - but now we know it exists.

Looks good man!

Does this mean you have found a home for your 30's and can now get 33's for the truck?

I think GM decided to market the CC in the US and make it the "king of the S-10 hill". So they included every available option. Then they probably decided that consumers liked having options, so they made some stuff optional....

I'm not sure about those spacers, but on both sets of mine, the stock lugs will not fit. The threads are different. but the lug nut caps will still fit. They press on instead of screwing on. I just use a small flathead screwdriver to get them off when I need to.

It's funny, I had this same problem eariler this year. :lol: I was about to have a stroke over the cost of a new wiper motor and stuff....and one day I thought I'd take a look at the joint and see how bad it was.... took it off, then put it back on, tight, and it worked just fine. Made me so happy :...

I know this isn't what you guys want to hear, but a new head unit and some decent speakers will go a long way toward improving your sound quality....and fix your problem.

I have a 2001 as well, and mine came with pretty much everything except leather--and the rear cup holders....

I'd love a bumper like that, except I would prefer it coming just a bit lower, and the sides not slope. I don't need my approach angle that badly

But it does offer winch mounting options, which I find very attractive......if only they weren't so expensive....

I would just default to the 262 measurement. More than likelly some one at one of the manufacturers mistyped the number when sending the info to Summit or somthing....

If you have a CrewCab, a 2" BL is it. I think it is easier to change the plugs with a BL. If you remove or move the plastic/rubber cover under the fender, you can look straight at them.

Sheesh...if they told you $3K to replace the rearend, you need to immediately go to another dealership and never return to that one. You could easily get another entire rear axle for a tenth of that if you look hard!

Cool man. I hope to place an order for some more skidz by summer time. I want to get the complete package

I haven't had any hot weather, but my trim (the old kind) has started twisting...I'll post pics soon.

That's part of the fender. I cut off the lowest bolt hole, but the rest are still there. Once you get under there and peel back the fender lining, you'll get a rough idea of what has to be done.

Hey Pete, where in MS are ya? It'll be nice to have another representative from the magnolia state

Plus you've an adjustable gain knob on the amp
