If theres nothing wrong with the ZR2 axle then use it, I wouldnt scrap it.

AVTekk

You said the rods were bent so why are you trying to start it? I dont know about Al but here in NJ I highly doubt they will pass it with a different engine.

AVTekk

The airbag module is under center console, thats the only other one i can think of.

AVTekk

I'm not sure what the question is? But the S10s received double din headunits in 2002.5 so if yours is a 2003, it has a double din. Any radio will fit it.

AVTekk

Just find a std cab truck and measure it. It might be too long as well, and if it is, simply cut and weld right at the outside edge instead inside. It will be just as easy to do. In my experience tho, if the cab corners are gone then the rest of the truck wont be too far behind so it may not be wort...

AVTekk

Theres a good amount of room but not much thru the wheel well as the howto states. I like to pull the intake box out then you can access it easily. The box comes out with one hose clamp and one 10mm nut by the fuse panel, then just pops out. Keep the wheel locked, remove the through-bolt, then pry t...

His pass side bar is dead so he needs at least 1 replacement.

Sounds like a typical dealership to me, they don't know anything about what they're working on or selling, its just a job to them. Sad.

AVTekk

Hrmm def a drawback there considering back and forth is whats needed to get out of a lot of situations. Whats the Grizzly use, clutches?

AVTekk

Not really, I have a yard full of them that Ive been buying for parts or projects

What do you need a cab for? Where are you located?

AVTekk

Yep I use them often as I do a lot of custom engine swaps at the shop. I used to use pn #640850 but its now discontinued. They suggest using #644120 now which looks different but should work the same. I'm currently looking for another LS motor to drop in a customers C10 so I'll try them out then to ...

AVTekk

Unfortunately you've found another weak point on these trucks. Ive had to fix the lines before and went through the same problem, there was none available anywhere and no one can salvage the stock fittings. Also, it is a part specific to crew cabs no other line will fit (I've tried). You really only...

32psi is too low, that is for a standard tire rated at 35psi max. Its up to you what you want to set them at, usually I put them 40-44psi when theyre rated for 50, but mostly for comfort. My 31s are D or E rated and i have to run them around 20spi or the truck rides like a brick.

AVTekk

Ya I agree with the plug swap, Ive never had any luck with anything but ACDelco.

AVTekk

Any way to check timing under load? Perhaps the ecm is pulling a lot of timing out for some reason. But 175k on the chain is a lot of miles, theyre pretty stretched after 100k.

AVTekk

Yep check the pressure sensor first, but honestly it all goes bad and you can do the oilpan with the motor in but youll need to pull the front differential. Heres a test, let the truck sit and idle for an hour and with a piece of cardboard under the oilpan. Then remove it and put a new piece and let...

AVTekk

Any way to get a hold of a nice scan tool and watch the O2 and fuel trim under load?

AVTekk

Lol burning tires out of the shop didn't help any, who knows what other mischief you got into last night...

AVTekk

Welcome bud, keep at it!

AVTekk

Youre right, the reservoir is tucked up into the fender, if you get a small mirror you can see the nipple that the vacuum line goes to, otherwise you can feel it with your finger. They all need to be hooked up for your vents to work properly.

AVTekk

Only use what weight is on the cap. If you have higher mileage, use a high mileage (HM) oil. It will have seal conditioners and additives to increase film strength when the oil is hot. Better brands will also have more anti-corrosive, acid-neutralizing, and antiwear additives. I def wouldn't run die...

AVTekk

I dont think coleman makes that anymore. Ive used KargoMaster in the past, they are very nicelly built but certainly not the cheapest...

AVTekk

Ya Im not feeling the rims but thats a pretty good price for a low mileage truck. I found one once for 8300 with only 32k miles but it was from upstate NY and rust was all other everything. All the good ones are usually over 10k.

AVTekk

Ya thats very low mileage. I was trying to find one similar but not willing to pay the price lol How much did you get it for?

AVTekk

Ya she goes good

AVTekk

How can the crossmember be different? Id check mine against the ext cab i have here but its a zr2 :\

AVTekk

i might of missed it by skimming quick, but are you re-pinning the stock harness or splicing in a donor v8 harness? I repinned the ECM connectors with the wires from the V8 injector plug. The only 2 wires that are spliced are the pink wires providing power to the 7 and 8 injectors. Knock sensor is ...

_STUCKY wrote:Out of curiosity, what do you use to elongated the holes? I was trying to make a oval out of a circle the other day, and it wasn't working out too well haha.

I use a die grinder with carbine bits. If it needs more precision, then I'll put it on the Bridgeport

AVTekk

There were no issues with the steering shaft at all. The 2.8 mounts are much stronger than the 4.3 mounts, which is why I always try to use them, but they are not a direct bolt-on to the frame. One hole in the frame needs to be tapped, and the holes in the mounts themselves need to be elongated, not...

Its really not that bad of a job, the dash is made to come out in one unit and all of the harnesses just unplug...

AVTekk

Gauge works again and fills up fine

AVTekk

Def do the lower intake while youre in there, if its real bad youll see coolant seeping around the back drivers corner. Once you pull the intake off youll almost always see gasket separation around the intake and coolant ports, its just a matter of time before it fails entirely.

AVTekk

The spider injectors/regulator in the intake is the most common problem with long cranking issues. If you have it replaced, get the upgraded unit which moves the actual injectors to the intake runner, rather than the injector/poppet setup from factory. You can tell the difference because youll see w...

AVTekk

Did you get it fixed? Usually the sender is the culprit.

AVTekk

Thats correct, its definitely the right one, I just did another one of these for a customer a few weeks ago and it looked just like that.

AVTekk

Congrats. When I was searching for mine, I found one with only 38k on the clock, but has more rust than Id ever seen on a CC. Turns out it was only used in the winter in upstate NY, so it killed the truck.

AVTekk

Ive never had that problem, in fact, just the other day I took the driveshaft out of a ZR2 (sold it) and replaced it with a non-ZR2 shaft just so I can drive it around the yard still. Bolted in no problem except that its a little too long, the ZR2 shaft is slightly shorter bc the 8.5" housing has a ...

AVTekk

Lemme guess, the bolt broke off in the pin when you tried to take it out?

AVTekk

I know the "box" youre talking about, its got a galvanized finish and IIRC its more like a plate, but I dont remember what it was. Id pull the heater controls out and take a look bc theres a lot of wires sitting on top of it.

AVTekk

You may have worded your statement backwards. In the stock location, the stress is shared between the bolts and control arm, once you flip it, all the stress is on the bolts. I can't say that Ive ever seen the bolts break but hey, anything can happen.

AVTekk

Flipping the balljoint results in no lift, all it does is returns the upper control arm back closer to the original position from factory, keeping alignment in check and also allowing for more droop before hitting the bumpstop. I don't know why/how you saw 1/2" of lift after flipping it, perhaps you...

AVTekk

Yep, exactly, itll save your CV joints.

AVTekk

My 03 doesnt have one, I noticed before I even bought it and thought it was very odd since every other truck I saw had one. Ive since found one in an Hombre that I plan on splicing in. Stucky, those wires that appear to do nothing are the pass door trigger for the interior lights, they are a ground ...

AVTekk

The bracket does not give you any lift at all, it simply lowers the differential so that the axles dont bind as badly. Its been available for quite some time, at least a year or 2. Also, the user "j27" completed a balljoint flip, which is absolutely needed with that much t-bar crank.

AVTekk

Def how they should have been built. I bet its a stretched ext cab frame, the seats in it are 94-97 seats, so that matches the front grill, so I dunno why its titled a 98, unless it took 3 trucks to build the beast. LMs10CrewCab, the rear step bar is a purchased item, it just plugs into the receiver...

AVTekk

I def wouldnt leave it like that, compression fittings are a big no-no on brake systems and absolutely illegal. They can loosen up over time and leak and if you have a leak, youll eventually have no brakes. Unfortunately for you, the next junction in that line is up by engine area, on top pf the fra...

AVTekk

Agreed, and thats the exact setup im going to do on my crew, dana 30 front, spring under axle, 31s.

AVTekk

I couldnt link to any definitive how-to because I dont think there is one, but I do it (chassis fab) for a living so its kind of 2nd nature to me. Lob off the ZR2 frame back under the driversdoor, then get it all cleaned up and then make your final splice cuts on the frame. You dont want straight ve...

AVTekk

I would cut off the stock frame weld the ZR2 clip on, never in a million years would I bother trying to weld each tab and bracket onto the CC frame. Ive never done the mod but Ive done similar and I always splice the frames.

AVTekk

If the ZR2 axle has a G80 locker in it, its really not very good for an offroad locker. It takes a lot of torque to lock up, youre better off installing an aftermarket locker to get a true locked rear. You dont need to do any gear changes as long as you find a ZR2 rear that matches your front diff.

AVTekk

I'm in the same boat, missing just one. I've seen a few other ZR5s around that were missing one too, perhaps they shouldnt be so easy to take off!

AVTekk

Looks great!

AVTekk

The Vortec 5.7 doesnt get as good mileage as a 5.3 LS, and it will def not improve around town. Jays truck has it and gets the same mileage as my stock crew and hes lifted 8" on 33s.

AVTekk

Yes its at my shop in South Plainfield, NJ. The engine should swap right into your truck Anthony, the injectors and everything are the same. Ran fine when we were driving it around, the truck was bought for misc parts for Jays 95 Blazer. Anthony every V8 swap I do is reliable and daily drivable. Yes...

AVTekk

A-pillar mount is the most common, next maybe in the dash somewhere or glovebox. There is also a steering column pod you can get. Overheard console is tight but Ive done them up there, usually with a bit of fiberglass work. Just as an install note, keep the line away from the exhaust under the hood,...

AVTekk

You are correct Stucky and as I said, their metal parts are decent (certainly not the best) but their air parts are all garbage. Also their restocking fees are ridiculous and handle warranty issues very poorly. I'm not a fan of the company in any way but I do order the occasional bracket or whatever...

Well it sounds like I'm a little late here since you bought the kit already, but I can at least tell you that you made the right decision! I am an Airlift dealer and have sold a number of those kits, I just sold one to a guy with a ZR2 blazer that pulls his bike to the track. There's no way I could ...

AVTekk

Every one of those Spectre intake kits that I've seen come into my shop have the broken ears, I weld aluminum so I have been able to fix them but its a shitty alloy.

AVTekk

I believe they are colored plastic, altho I dont have one here to practice on. Brake clean takes off just about every kind of paint Ive sprayed it on.

AVTekk

Heres the link to the first one, you left half of it off:

http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/cto/3609255378.html

Id buy them both, altho he wants too much for the first one, and all the parts for the 2nd one are a waste of time. I don't like the color of either one either lol

AVTekk

Yep central jersey here only got about 7", my 4x4 was working great for some quick urban offroading lol

AVTekk

Yep, S10Forum has a writeup done by me, but it was on a 94 so your truck would actually be even easier. Its all plug and play stuff, pick up the console and shifter and cable, and stick it all in your truck, easy as that. There is a lockout on the shifter that youll need to wire in or disable, eithe...

I'm going to take a picture of it, but it must have been rubbing since day one. The part of the cab is was rubbing on is completely smooth and rounded, not a sharp edge. It wore through the loom that protects it and then the line itself until the pressure pushed the hole open. I've used the repair k...

Cant say ive ever heard anyone call them "hollywood rails" before..

Yep, these late model trannies are built realy soft, Im going to throw the servo and maybe a shift kit in mine to stiffen it up a bit, just to make it less mushy.

AVTekk

Yep my truck recently had this same problem, replaced it with an off the shelf plastic one from Advance. The aluminum is better because it doesnt strip the holes out as easily but I couldnt wait to order it.

AVTekk

The blower motor is under the hood, on the pass side of the firewall. Youll need to take out the inner fenderwell to replace it, so it takes a bit of time but not hard to do. Also there is most likely an insulation blanket in the form of a thick rubber cover over it, youll need to cut it out where i...

AVTekk

Pics of the console? If it was from a 2nd gen s10, it should have fit no problem.

AVTekk

Looks good, well done.

AVTekk

Ahhh yes that makes more sense. Pretty dope on the shipping costs too.

AVTekk

Just wondering 2 things, first, why did you replace the master? You could have deleted the ABS using the stock master. Also, are the parts shipping from UK? If so, thats a hell of a shipping cost lol

AVTekk

x2 on intake manifold gasket. only other thing back there are freeze out plugs and they dont go bad as often. Id flush the dexcool and run the regular green, but def dont mix them.
