and what do you want to bet gm will mess up and price it in the high 40,s or even in the 50's . There by cutting out the majority of us that would buy one. Hopefully they will take a lesson from ford and price it right.

I didn't see a 45 ACP in their XD product lineup. 45 GAP (Glock Auto Pistol) was all I saw. Can you post a link to what you are looking at? The link you gave us is for the 4 inch XD line but, they are ported models. I own a Glock 23C, which is compensated, which is similar to ported. They are fine ...

malkavian

I have had a few glocks never had a taurus might have to look into them. IM going to google the .45 LDA, DAO and read some info on it also. Thanks guys.

malkavian

Im looking at buying another pistol for con / carry. Right now I have seen alot on springfield armory's new XD 45 ACP. I am pretty interested in this gun but have not found anyone around my area that has it or shot it. I have read all the info on there website but have yet to find a review on this g...

malkavian

Well I still have the cherokee and it is going to be made into a trail only rig. Tubeing bender, torch, welder, and sledge hammer ready to work turn the cherokee into something crazy now. Now I can tow it LOL. That crew of yours looks good man .

malkavian

done ...

malkavian

Had to have a vehicle that was better for towing so I bought this truck. It is a world of difference. First full size that I have had. It has the 5.3 locking rear diff, tow package with trailer brake control and all that stuff. They gave me 16,000 trade in on the crew cab and with my discount and re...

malkavian

well the end of the hose is actually loops over into a small plastic jar about a inch in diameter and i drilled a hole in the bottom of it and put a small oiled filter from a rc car. . So water wont get in unless I get it within 2 inches of the top of the bed. The front I ran up into the engine coma...

malkavian

I went and bought some hose the same diameter as the stock on and ran it from the rear diff all the way up between the cab and the bed. I have also see the expandalbe type that are fully enclosed and just clamp over the nipple on the housing so you dont have to run the hose. I have never used one of...

malkavian

does the bazooka come with a seprate gain control?

malkavian

theres a guy out here selling dana 60 rears with 4:11's for 200.00 and dana 44 fronts with 4:11's for 200 also

malkavian

ahhhhhh ok ..thank you hj that clears up a lot .

malkavian

Im still just curious as to why gm list the g80 as a limited slip? From what I understand it doesnt have a clutch pack like other limited slip diff's does it. I know it sure doesnt act like any limited slip I have had in a truck before.

malkavian

I knew we didnt have to add the additive LOL . Thanks for the confirmation hj. Yeah I just have to wait till I can get an appt. with the other shop for the trans flush. Thanks again guys. Back to work for me.

malkavian

ok so I go and and try to get my trans flushed and filter changed. The only local place I trust was booked up so I decide to try the dealer I bought my truck from. They quoted me 299.00 to flush and change filter. :shock: But anyway on to my point of the story. The first time I had my front and rear...

malkavian

I used air shocks on my crew for towing my 13ft enclosed trailer. They worked fine. I know have the spring kit that hj made a thread on awhile back. The bosie springs kit I think that was the name of it.

malkavian

Sorry I have not had a chance at all this weekend to get to the salvage yards. My dog is in the animal hospital and I had to work all weekend . I have to have a weekend off soon LOL or IM going to go nuts.

malkavian

LOL I thought he ment there was more info. ok just go ahead and kick me.

malkavian

Muslhed... Can you post a link to your thread about this manual shift mod. I think you might save me a lot of leg work saturday if I am off work.

malkavian

you bunch of pirates jacking my thread just because Hj is gone ..

oh yeah my bad.

Well have not had the problem come back since I put the optima in saturday and it is monday 1:30 am now.

malkavian

Yeah picked up a optima red top battary about a hour after I wrote the above. I played around with the ingnition switch for awhile to see if that might be it. It hasnt done it agian and I have been running since I picked that optima up this afternoon. If it starts doing it again I let you know.

malkavian

Hj maybe right. I didnt get off work in time to get to the salvage yard but Ill get a chance next saturday. Im not even sure it will work. I am pretty sure the mechanical part will be simple to work out but I have no Idea about bcm issues yet.

malkavian

Cleaned the inside of the crew out yesterday. I accidently turned the dome light on and my battery was dead this morning. I jumped it off and went to work. All of my digital dash read outs were out, the radio, gear indicator, and my compass/temp gauge. So Im thinking I fried something but when I jum...

malkavian

ok thanks for that bit of advice didnt even check on the full size trucks.

malkavian

ok thanks for the info. Ill probably just take it and have it done its like 70.00 I have to find out if that includes a new filter though.

malkavian

HJ Should i flush the transmission or just do a filter fluid change? 35,000 miles changed fluid and filter at 15,000 and ready to do it agian. Just didnt know if it was worth it or not.

Edited title-HJ

malkavian

Man I didnt realize it took 65 amps. I got the winch for 100.00. It had never been installed according to the guy I bought it from. But any way Yeah I wont be using all of them at the same time like you said. Ill email the guys who did yours and see about getting one week after next. I could swing t...

malkavian

I called around after I got up for work and found 3 s-10s with the lever actuated transfer cases. I can get the whole assy for about $30 . If I get off work early enough sat. morning Im going to pick up the one of the cable assys and one lever assy. Then hopefully next weekend I will have off and tr...

malkavian

Hj with a mile marker 12,000lbs winch and 4 lights on the roof rack along with 2 on the back of the roof rack what amp alternator should I get. I would rather just order from the guy who did yours instead of trying to do it myself.
Thanks
Kip

malkavian

HJ you are the man. I didnt get a chance to check out zr2.com had to get ready for work. Thanks for takeing the time to post that though. Im doing some salvage yard serches this weekend. Hopefully Ill find something I can use. On the posi loc. I used one on my 91 xj untill I replaced the stock dana ...

malkavian

OK thanks Hj . I was hoping you might have some sugestions. Ill check on zr2.com also.

malkavian

I was looking at your web site yeah its your blazer. Good pic to.

malkavian

ok so far I have found out you have to replace the selector shaft that the motor turns to engage the transfer case. Then just about any lever assy that gives you the clearence you need will work.

Come on HJ chime in here LOL .

malkavian

I am thinking its the crazy blaze at least that was the name they called it in the short write up on it. It also had the same add ons his had. It had a dana 30, home made rock sliders, and 33's , custom front bumper , and a few other things that just stood out and mady me think it was the crazy blaze.

malkavian

I still need to find some more info on this but I was hopeing HJ or some of you other guys might have some info on parts to use for this. I was reading peterson's off road and a guy wrote in about his blazer and asking about alternatives to buying a new encoder motor becasue his was stuck in 4hi. Th...

malkavian

Crazy blazer is in four wheel mag for this month. I readers rides.

malkavian

I hate you guys LOL. I live in Alabama and no good snow here since I was 16. IM 30 now I just need to say forget about it and move up north a little.

malkavian

I had forgot all about treck bikes. I had a cannondale f700 that by the time I was done with it I had the fatty 70 sl xtr groupo grip shifters and it was a great bike but It beat the mess out of me on some of the down hills we ran in NM. Anyone else keep them comming especially how if does for the t...

malkavian

Any of you guys into riding mountain bikes? I use to ride when I was out west and sold my bike when I moved back south. Im not up on the new bikes and am looking for a good full suspension bike that can handle my abuse. Down hill runs (not hudge down hills since we dont hve any crazy stuff here.) We...

malkavian

that kills me I dont have a under hood light or I didnt till I took one off another s-10 in a salvage yard. I guess that was one option mine didnt have.

malkavian

same thing happened to me in a crazy down pour . Thankfully I always have one of my tool boxes in my truck. LOL

malkavian

that one was on the lingenfelter website in the videos section. it may still be on there.

malkavian

then Im old school was going by the evenly spaced exhasut ports on the heads. Sorry about that .

malkavian

a big block wont fit with out major firewall mods. Not to mention steering colum clearence issues and many many more fitment issues. It can be done just a lot of fab work.

malkavian

or you could do a 3/4 eliptical spring in the rear brule lol

malkavian

ok cool thanks guys

malkavian

yeah I know with my cherokee many didnt want to go where I tried to go. I had the whole thing linxed and just ran through bushes and small trees LOL. My winch came in handy a lot then. Before the winch I just used my hi lift though.

malkavian

Quickbiker. what are the front and rear axles out of?

malkavian

f9k9. is that gap visable from the outside of the truck?

malkavian

yeah Im basically talking about the forward and aft edges of the window. But I see what your talking about.

malkavian

Ok I have done windo tint on my camaros many of times so I have the art of it down as far as getting all the air bubbles out. My questions are for windows like on the crew where you have frame the window roles up into. 1. I know you leave about 1/4 inch gap at the top of the glass but what about the...

malkavian

I pretty sure the mile marker and warns are rated with one loop on the drum or spool.

malkavian

It may be 1.5. I just remember when I bought my first one the sales man said 2x he may have just wanted to sale me a more expensive one

But I never had a problem with either one of them .

malkavian

From my experience 2x the weight of the vehicle. Ive had a warn and a mile marker. I liked both of them and the mile marker I think was the better bang for the buck.

malkavian

Come on quick I just want to get my truck in so it will take longer on yours LOL

malkavian

Quickbiker.... What are the dana 44's out of? Did you have input into any of the build or did you just tell him what you wanted and he did it? I have a lot of questions LOL.. I saved that picture. I would love to have a parts list of what he used and I wish we had a shop here that had knologeable pe...

malkavian

Thats a good looking truck man. I like it, what lift do you have on it?

malkavian

i love it man looks great..............

malkavian

Really I only plan on running 31's would like to run 33's still trying to make up my mind on that one. I tow a 13 ft enclosed motorcycle trailer quite a bit and the trailer is made so that you can load it with out it being hooked up so you have a lot of tongue weight since the axle is only about 3 f...

malkavian

Henry J wich flares did you end up getting. And I took a look at ls1 zr2 profile dosnt seem like he has been on for a while. I was curious as to what all was involved with fitting the full size front end under his truck. What other forum is he a member of ? I guess this is a multiple post reply. I g...

malkavian

no he is stuck in there LOL

malkavian

I like that car. There suposed to have quite a bit of performance goodies for them from pontiac also.

malkavian

I didnt even think about the air pressure. I didnt push it over 15mph I just knew it would get worse. thanks for the info guys.

malkavian

Im buying the pieces to do HJ's lift but it will be a while before I get everything. My question is about shocks. Will after market shocks like the bilstiens take care of the harshness you experience on washboard dirt roads ? i would like to be able to go over 15 or 20 mph with out feeling like my t...

malkavian

holy cow.... I havent read this thread I thought it might be the original thread on the aux tank in your tool box. I have to admit HJ you never cease to admaze me. Have you been able to tell if it will affect your departure angle. One more question are you going to make a skid plate for it.

malkavian

Good tip for other vehicles. Ours use sealed bearings. No packing for ours.

your kidding.. I did not know this. Thats cool I not as messy. LOL I guess I would have figured that one out when I have to do my brakes.. Thanks for the info HJ

malkavian

and for packing bearings with grease just put you some wheel bearing grease in a zip lok bag drop in your bearing and squeeze it around till you have the grease squeezed all in to the rollars of the bearing. Or you can buy a bearing packer tool at auto zone or what not for about 15 dollars I think. ...

malkavian

I have what looks like blisters on my hood and roof probably about 25 or so. Really looks like contamination in the paint. Not sure though. How long is the warranty on out paint on the trucks?

malkavian

az thats crooked man. where you out off roading when you put that on

malkavian

I have heard the moogs where better so I was kinda posting that as a option for the lifted ifs crews on here. Thought it might be ok for the thread since all the faliures so far in this thread are pointing towards ball joints.

malkavian

HJ did you decide no on the mt baja radial's for a reason? I was looking at them for the bronco or the cc .

malkavian

anyone running the moog joints on a lifted truck with the 6 inch sl ?

malkavian

ok cool I was just looking to match the back windows. I think the back is dark enough. So AZ and TOP you guys did 20% on top of what was on the back also?

I like that cover on Bads hood I will have to look for one of those to.

malkavian

Ive noticed a few people on here with 20% tint on there front windows did you guys do the back also or does the 20% match the stock tint on the back? Was going to tint my fronts next weekend I just need to know what % to buy. Thanks in advance.
