Hey folks, it has been awhile since I signed-in, prolly because my crewcab has only 45,000 miles and hasn't needed much aside from dry rot/lot rot. I recently installed Proform's awesome Bowtie rear differential cover with bearing cap preload bolts. I filed oiling slots into the inside edges for the...

My problems only occured while in motion "warmed up", never at start up. I can't remember if the CEL came on with the ABS warning light, sorry. In the early stages of the VSS failing (before tranny started going into limp home mode), "I could put the pedal to the metal, and everything was fine", for...

MyWhiteKnight

I looked in all my old receipts and I'm sorry to say that I can't locate that part number. Maybe a Chevy or GM dealership parts department can help you.

MyWhiteKnight

I sure appreciate everyone's thoughts on this one. It was a hard nut to crack. Limp home mode, and the threat of a blown transmisson had me pretty freaked out, so I hope my comments and solution will save someone some aggravation.

MyWhiteKnight

Well, it seems all the problems were due to a bad Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS). Had nothing to do with the ZR2 wheels, nor putting them on. So, yes it was related, but had nothing to do with anything I did. So, if anyone has ABS activation at low speeds, and/or speedometer flux, and tranny limp home m...

04crewvt, You are correct about "Bad wheel sensors are a problem with some GM products". There IS a TSB on front sensors for 15 models, 1995 to 2003, including mine and other forum members: Brakes - Low Speed (Below 5 MPH) ABS Activation Bulletin No.: 02-05-25-006B Date: January 05, 2006 TECHNICAL S...

Hey Jeff024 Sorry I did not see your post sooner, as well as for your not knowing about our discovery of this very same sub box in Feb 2004. I sure hope you did not search as long and hard as I did to find it :yikes: You can see our discussion here: http://www.s-10crewcab.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=...

MyWhiteKnight

Hello 04crewvt and Snoman002, I sure am grateful for your suggestions. I checked the front wheel sensors and wires, when the ABS light first began to glow. Haven't fiddled with the brakes, other than inspecting them when the wheels were off. Everything appeared as it should be. The only other thing ...

MyWhiteKnight

killian96ss, Thank you for responding. I totally agree, and no you didn't miss anything. The appearence of the truck sitting a little higher with the ZR2 wheels, may be an optical illusion created by the different style rims. I didn't take before and after measurements, but a friend did ask if I cra...

Split topic and edited title-HJ Hello Everyone Sorry it's been so long, single parenthood keeps CC tweaking to a minimum, so I usually just read a few posts with nothing to say. I have the ZR2-PA3 wheels on my CC. Picked them up at ebay for $128.50 + $60.00 shipping. The AR aftermarkets required mo...

One should always have a hammer and nails handy. They can be used for many things. Once when I was out fishing, the pin broke that holds the prop on the boat motor. There just happened to be some nails in the tackle box. One nail held the prop on long enough to get the boat ashore :idea: A hammer is...

MyWhiteKnight

Update: A couple more trips in the truck, and it seemed that the fan blew less and less. First checked the fuses, all ok. Took a hammer and lightly tapped the blower motor box, and whoosh I could suddenly hear the air flowing thru the system. The blower motor was stuck! Working fine now.

MyWhiteKnight

I've experienced this problem the last 3-4 times I drove the truck: When I'm cruzin down the road everything works fine. When at idle, (in drive or park), no heat, no air, and no fan. It doesn't matter if the truck is warm or cold. When the truck is running but not moving, all I can get from the hea...

Hey Mark

I'm sorry I failed to mention the box only has one terminal. That was probably because the series set-up is fine for my small amp. I really do need for each sub to have the full power of the amp. Please excuse my lack of consideration, it was an oversight

MyWhiteKnight

The weather was perfect this past weekend, and the kids cooperated. Everything went well. The new headunit, door speakers, amp, and sub box are all installed. The amp is held in place above the jack box with velcro. All the wiring to the box and amp are hidden nicely under the doorway thresholds, no...

I have a correction to make. I stated the Leer cap was $800. It was $899.00+$40.45 tax=$939.45 A couple of guys have asked me about the cap via pm, so I will provide some more info here. It is the Leer 100R, and can be seen here, my cap is white, but the same otherwise: http://www.leer.com/gmgallery...

MyWhiteKnight

Thanx for the info, it may come in handy if I ever need to haul something, beyond what I have now. For the moment though the 6x10 utility trailer will carry whatever I put on it. One day I may decide to get that camper I've been thinking about, and my current bumper hitch won't do the trick. We have...

MyWhiteKnight

The Hitch Hand suggestion is a good one, thanx. I wonder if they make one that would work with bumper hitch!?

MyWhiteKnight

I got the box. Check out my description on the N.O.S. forum.

MyWhiteKnight

Just had an added suggestion: You could use an old cooler to store ya stuff in the bed, under the cover. Keep a clean old towel in it, so if ya need to move it to the back seat, to haul your bike, you can set it on the towel.

MyWhiteKnight

My Leer cap keeps all my stuff in the bed clean and dry. It locks (which also locks the tailgate), has dark tinted, locking windows, sliding side and cab windows with side screens, and even has a clothes hanging drop-down rod. The tail-gate opening was big enough to slide in an electric range on its...

MyWhiteKnight

I plan to keep mine as long as possible. I too like having a ride that ya don't see a dozen of the same, in every parking lot. The twins will be getting their learners permits in 5 years and 2 months, and I sure hope I have some additional wheels for them to make their mistakes with while learning. ...

MyWhiteKnight

I just took a hard look at mine, and yes they are placed slightly different. Passenger side headlamp on mine looks to have 1/4" more gap at the side fender, and the drivers side headlamp appears to gap slightly more on the bottom. I never noticed it before you mentioned it. Maybe that is why we rare...

Hello Everybody I received the 8" dual sub box on Friday, 2/20, which was 13 days after ordering it. It fits behind the seat just fine, with no alterations, and the seat back locks into riding position as expected. The box is very sturdy, 3/4" composite wood, and all seams appear to be sealed. The s...

Hey Mark I missed that picture! :oops: I can now see why your spare tire is not under the truck. You are right, no where for 12" subs, I hope they don't dry rot :( Hi Scott03 I could see that other members had asked about sub boxes, so I was happy to give the info I found, you are welcome. No new de...

MyWhiteKnight

Hi Justin 4" mounting depth for the JL's WILL be tight. I may have to shave 1/8" from inside the back of the box so the magnets won't be hitting it, or figure a way to raise the sub from the front. I haven't figured out where to put the amp yet. It is just a small 200 watt, so maybe on top of the su...

MyWhiteKnight

Mark, maybe we should do a search on google for a weatherproof box for those 12's. The only way I can vision your using them with the crew cab is to put them on the roof!!

MyWhiteKnight

Hello Mark Thank you for the welcome. Yeah, I've been tolerating stock audio for way too long. Also this week, I ordered an aftermkt head unit and replacement door speakers. I'm not into earth shattering bass, so the dual 8" subs, with new head unit and speakers should satisfy me, ...I hope. The JL ...

My 24 year old son is also named Paul, and he sure would like to get his grubby hands on the crew. I told him sure, when he comes up with $22,000 to buy it! Heck, I only have 5,600 miles on it, so when someone else wants to drive it I say :!: The twins will start driving it in 5 years, and I am alre...

MyWhiteKnight

HenryJ Thank you for the welcome. I found this site and soundoffaudio.com because I didn't give up my google searches for the sub box for the crew cabs. I've seen other forums but none seemed as friendly and helpful. I was into the wee hours last night reading the posts and checking out the pictures...

MyWhiteKnight

Thanx Hobie Not afraid, just cautious. Central Virginia is the location, and a crew cab gathering would be awsome. Summers are best, kids are out of school. Speaking of kids, I have 3 boys ages 24 and twin 10 year olds. They keep me and the crew cab rocking and rolling. I lost my spouse to cancer 2 ...

Hello To All I'm new here, but I have had the crew cab since July 2002. I bought it new and it looks like Jim's, minus the nice leather seats. I've read some of the posts and all of you seem very cool and helpful. I even learned that I'm not the only one with a couple of minor problems, like the wac...
