The switch wasn't too bad once I looked everything over real good. One of the harness plugs was a real PITA to get out like killian had posted. I'm thinking the problem may be in there. I will check the bulbs with a meter tomorrow.

04revx

Yes...the B/U light fuse is fine. I wasn't sure if there was another one somewhere or a relay.

04revx

Well I replaced the switch and my back up lights still don't work! Could it be possible that the connectors are my problem?

Is there a relay anywhere that I could check?

04revx

Thanks for the reply!

04revx

To make a long story short, my back-up lights have stopped working. Grounds are good, fuses are perfect, whats left is the reverse light switch which is found in the Neutral Safety Switch. I haven't picked up the part yet, but is it just a matter of unplugging it from the tranny and plugging the new...

So how did you make out this weekend HJ?

I towe my 2 place enclosed snowmobile trailer with two sleds in it no problem, and I have 3.43 gears. Ya its kind of a dog in the hills but why would you want to go fast through hills while towing?

04revx

Hey coffeedrnkr, do you drive yours daily? How is that thing on they highway, or does it ever see highway? Or asphault for that matter?

Actually I think he took a 2wd and SFA'd it. The blue and orange powdercoated parts appear to be his K5. I could be wrong though. Your right. Notice the rear differential cover on the K5 and then the S10. http://home.comcast.net/~krichards1015/K5rear.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~krichards1015/s10re...

04revx

I think thats what he did. Looks sweet.

So how big a tire do you experts think I could use in this "theoretical" wheel situation in combination with the 2" BL and 1" T-bar crank (that I'm doing tonight): A 15X8 wheel with 4" of backspacing. If my math all works out it would be out 3" farther than stock. I'm thinking of using like a 265/7...

04revx

Looks good yellow. Have you gone through ball joints or anything else since you installed it?

04revx

What kind of money are you wanting to spend? I bought the Cragar 397s which are black but they sale the exact same wheel in chrome which are Cragar 398s. Summit racing has them for $49.95 each. They are 15X7 with 4" BS and the bolt pattern is 5X4.75. The black ones are only $35.95 each. You'll also...

I guess we need to know your preferences. If you are desiring a better sound then my advice will not help you at all. Our converters are free flowing compared to yesteryear. Eliminating them will not help much. Best performance for the 4.3L with an exhausrt modification is single 2.5 to 3 inch catb...

http://www.americanracing.com/dealerline/blackimages/blackbig/b62.jpg http://65.110.51.90/loc188/th_898_BlueCrewCab.jpg I am running these on my truck, American Racing Outlaw II. Not as flashy as some but they do look like they belong on a 4x4. Your truck looks good. Is that pic with the 2" BL?

04revx

HAHA no bling bling here.

I like those Outlaw II's a lot. Look similar to the Mickey's that i saw. Thats the look i'm going for though.

04revx

dont get polished !!!! I have polished and there an extreme amount of work to get them back to a chrome like shine it can take 1-2 hours.

How long did the install take for you guys that did it yourselves?

Looking to get some new wheels/tires this summer. I think I'm going with some 30" Pro Comp AT or BFG AT. What I'm not sure of is what wheel to go with. I want to keep it at 15" diameter and I'm thinking it should be polished aluminum or chrome. So what is everyone's opinion on aftermarket wheels? Wh...

04revx

TTT because I think my right front wheel bearing quite on me last night. For the past couple of days I've been hearing a humming noise coming from that tire at speeds over 35 mph. Last night it started making a clunking noise. Slight side to side movement in my tire. Hobbled to the nearest parking l...

Looking for some input. Will it make a difference in HP in our 4.3's? There is one on Ebay going for $1 (Helix Power).

04revx

Awesome pics! Looks like a lot of fun!!

04revx

Great job man. Looks insane!

On really cold mornings when I try to release my e-brake (try to) it won't release. I have to pull and hold the release handle with one hand and with the other hand I have to pull the e-brake pedal up and sometimes it doesn't want to budge :twisted: Is there a spring that needs replacing or does som...

04revx

Well it looks like we're not getting that trailer. Just too much money to cough up right now so we're settling with the conventional tilt trailer with clam shell.

04revx

Hmmm...not sure how much longer I'll have the blazer for so I'll probably not end up doing. I'm contemplating upgrading next year to a Silverado Ext. cab.

04revx

Whats the cost of having the gears upgraded to 3.73's versus doing a complete rear axle swap that has 3.73's?

Also, if you change the gear ratio for the rear do you have to do the same for the front? Sorry I'm just don't know much about this area.

04revx

Thats good to hear. The box is 12' long, the V is another 4' and the tongue is about 3', so i'm looking at close to a 19' trailer.

04revx

We are buying a new snowmobile trailer. Its the same as the blue one on this page: http://www.actrailers.com/pages/snowmobile2.htm except its 12' long. It can fit up to 3 sleds in there. Roughly each sled weighs 500 lbs and the trailers weighs 1600 lbs, so we're looking at 3100 lbs total all loaded ...

OK, I have now successfully disabled the DRL's and have Quad Beam Headlights. The only thing I had to do different was what Jacob from ZR2.com did: "The quadbeam mod calls for grounding the low beam yellow wire either directly or via a relay. I used the relay approach, where the relay (85)is trigger...

04revx

Do you have low beam DRL? There is a thread going on ZR2.com- Update on DRL mod combined with Quadbeam Mod Before I did the quad-beam mod I had high beam DRL's, but after I did that I had low beam DRL's. Just for haha's I straightened the pin back out and now my DRL's are back at the high beams. I'...

Are you kidding me? I have never heard of this before. Why would they be illegal and who are your sources?

04revx

I have a 2000 Blazer and I did the quad beam headlight mod according to the diagram on the Modifications page. Prior to doing that I had disabled the DRL's and AHL's. I folded over one of the pins on the DRL relay in the fuse box, and to disable the AHL's I put in a resistor in the sensor (in the ri...

Thanks HenryJ

Also is 1.25" enough or should I go wider?

04revx

OK guys I know this topic has pretty much been beaten to death but I want to make sure before I buy these. 1.25" spacers for the rear of my blazer. I want to eliminate the gap as much as possible. Its from the Ebay guy. It says they are hub centric, is anyone else running these and what are your opi...

04revx

adrenalnjunky - I just wanted to comment on how good your blazer looks. I'm going for the same look, but don't think I want to do the 2" bodylift so i'm gonna stick with an add-a-leaf kit and t-bar crank. Do you think I will be able to fit those same tires with the mods I have said and not rub? Grea...

Sorry to bring up a post from the dead, but I've got some questions... I have a 2000 4-door Blazer and am considering this kit or one from a local shop. Should I expect similar ride characteristics as you ZR5 guys after install? I tow a snowmobile trailer so shackles are out of the question. And wil...
