Broken motor mount? This is a 4wd Crew correct? By your description of the sound I can only think of the fan blade hitting the shroud. a broken motor mount could make it do that in drive. If its 4wd I would engage it and see it the sound goes away. Have you checked the transfer case fluid and skid p...

BADs Crew

Are you sure its not the power steering pump? I know its not near the tranny but the sound could echo across the skid plates.

BADs Crew

Don't panic. If you flushed the system and installed new green the air should work its way out. It took a few weeks for mine to work its way out.

BADs Crew

Just remember I still have mine. I am sure it will be around a long time. I just detailed it out and tuned it up for winter, This week end its getting waxed and I am going to detail out the engine bay. I think they look good together. http://www.s-10crewcab.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10106/norma...

BADs Crew

I didn't see them on the first try. Webshots does the same thing.

BADs Crew

Thats a great mask for Grim and one heck of a large corn maze. How late does the maze stay open? I bet the kids freaked running into grim after dark.

BADs Crew

I had similar noise and thought it was my tires so I had them rotated. The sound was still there so I took it into the shop and was told that the wheel bearings were fine so I wrote it off as tire noise. After a week or two it bugged me so I put new tires on it but the sound was still there. I took ...

The truck looks good for 200k.

This one of the most eluding searches I have ever encountered. I counldn't find anything on this rear that explains how it works. Not even at the Dana web site. From what I am reading at Nissan's web site and on different Nissan forums it seams to be a true locker.

Nissan

BADs Crew

OK, When I think of an axle I consider it the hub to spline. It slips into the rear housing and is drivin bt the rear diff. When I think of the rear I consider it hub to hub and everything in between. So what you are saying is the a DANA 44 is just the Axle and has nothing to do with the rear diff o...

As I said I know nothing about gears. Could you please explain the inner workings of the Dana 44 in the 08 Nismo?

BADs Crew

A little searching around found this information on the rear.

BADs Crew

I'm not big on gears so I can only quote what I read. This is from their web site and how the dealer explained it to me. "Driver’s Notebook: The midsize Frontier is a quick, capable and brawny truck. The Nismo off-road package adds real heavy-duty 4X4 equipment such as a big Dana 44 rear axle with a...

I almost went with a Toyota and it was my first choice; I even sat down with em but Nissan sucked me in with a 100000 mile bumper to bumper warranty, a better suspension package, full lock in rear at the touch of a button, a high tech interior including hands free Blue Tooth cell, XM radio with 6 di...

Here is a posting by Jeff24 that has all the specs. My 12yo son tells me there is a lot more leg room in the back. I love the way the Nismo rides and handles but as you can see I just can't part with the S-10 Crew yet.

BADs Crew

OK its tomorrow so here are the pics.

Here is a link to the specs. Nissan Nismo

BADs Crew

From my side of the driveway to hers. I just returned home with a White 2008 Frontier Nismo Crew Cab. The dealer offered me $6500 trade on my S-10 Crew so I decided sell our Blazer and hold on to the Crew. Pics will come tomorrow if I have the time.

BADs Crew

Here is what it looks like from the back side you can find the tool at any auto part store. I understand you can also snag it by working a shop rag or piece of rope behind the handle and pulling like you where drying your back with a towel but I would pick up the tool and some extra clips just in ca...

BADs Crew

Why do I feel another mod coming on?

BADs Crew

I told them to match the rear. I don't know the % but I know they used 3M.

BADs Crew

The rear is 3.73.

My CVC boots went out just out of warranty. I also had a rear tranny seal go out just before the warranty expired.

I like it

First you have to get the water out or it will continue to condensate. I would pull the turn signal lens and dump any water that was in it. you can use a hair drier to evaporate the water droplets out. Look at the lens closely, there is a front and back piece that are glued together. Inspect the sea...

BADs Crew

You want to call this company and ask them about the year? I took the last beating.

BADs Crew

The Blazer has a hump but it is 19" off the back of the center console. In the crew it measures around 11". It may work but you would have to cut it at the hump and pull the it forward. I will keep looking for you but it doesn't look promising.

BADs Crew

I called them after I read your post and got the same kind of a response but it was a man that I talked to. He also hung up on me. Nice customer service.

I'll search around some more and see what I come up with.

BADs Crew

I would call before I ordered online. Look at the years. The crew cab was not sold in the US until 2001. Why they have the years listed 1997 - 1999 is beyond me. I believe the truck was made then but not sold here. Was there a different body? Call Them!!

BADs Crew

Here is some, Carpet and here is where I purchased my Mats

BADs Crew

I replaced the carpet in my last S-10 and I am going to replace the carpet in the Blazer very soon. Its a very easy job with a lot of reward when its done. When I sold my 87 S the guy that bought it opened the door and raved over the interior. It was the selling point that got me more money than the...

Where did you buy the rims and tires?

BADs Crew

Mine have 103000 miles on them.

BADs Crew

I'm happy with the 4.3. Even with hauling around the extra weight of my cap my truck still gets away from the light and down the road. You might poke around over Here to see what you can find.

I once ran into a similar situation where an elderly couple it their 70s had hit something on the road a punctured a sizable hole in their gas tank. She was sitting in the car with their very large Labrador retriever and he was standing there looking at the car sitting over a large pool of gas that ...

Great post. :thumb: . I will stop and help stranded motorist's but I always size the situation up and help only if I think they have no means of helping themselves, the elderly always get my attention since my mom has been in that situation before. I will help out the neighbors with anything they mi...

What he's telling you is True

BADs Crew

Thank you. It wasn't today after I made my last trip to the land fill today. I had to run about a mile of muddy road sometimes up to a foot deep to get back to the dumping spot. After about the first 50 yards I figured the truck was in for a detail job at the end of the day anyhow so I went wild and...

Yes the side door opens to 50" and my mower deck is a 42. I ordered a ramp kit like you use to load a ATV on to the back of a pickup. I don't want a permanent ramp. because the door laps down past the floor level so I would have to modify the door to make it work. Besides it would just be one more t...

BADs Crew

The check engine light in our Blazer came on and off and on it would run rough and not want to idle. Not having the time to tinker around with it due to a new 12 x 18 barn going up I took it to the shop this morning. The shop called me around noon and told me they couldn't fix it because none of the...

My Bilsteins are installed with the body down and the boots up. If they are installed the opposite the boots will rub the shaft boots.

BADs Crew

First, Welcome to the site. Since you hear the boot I would check to see that the shocks are on correctly Our shocks are mounted upside down. If you put them on the rite side up they will rub the boots.

I know it is affecting the intermittent wipers again, they have started freaking out again.

I had a wiper problem similar to what you are explaining on my 1st gen Blazer. It turned out it was loosing ground to the wiper motor. I tighten the motor down and the problem was solved.

I ran across this while surfing around and thought I would post it. The video shows how to remove a dent using a hair drier and compressed air.

How to remove a dent

I have seen the commercial and was curious as to how it worked. It sounds similar to Zaino car wax but its a lot less expensive. Is there a claim as to how long it will last?

I ran on Coopers for about 1 1/2 years. I liked them at first but they seamed to need rotated often to keep the wear even on the shoulders. I switched to Michelins because they wore very well on our Blazer. They have a wider tread area then the Coopers and ride better also. Now we have the XCX/APT o...

BADs Crew

On the plug behind the steering shaft I just slid up the rubber boot on the shaft and use a plug socket with the hex head top. I then used a box end wrench on the socket. Yeah I busted my knuckle when it broke loose but it healed.

BADs Crew

Nice

BADs Crew

I would try a little bit of heat. Maybe a soldering iron rested on the top of the cap. Just enough heat to expand the cap to loosen it and not melt the rubber seal on the needle valve.

BADs Crew

Easy There.....You never know when some more puppies might come along when your home alone,

BADs Crew

Looks Great , and I like the hood.

BADs Crew

well it is deffinantly underneath, could that still be the hood? I read of one S-10er who looked for weeks for a rattle only to find out it was the passenger side seat belt buckle taping against the center post. I'm just giving you some ideas. I am assuming you got under the truck and tapped on the...

Check the hood hinge mounting point. I think I remember someone else having this problem.

Yeah, I read about that when I had my 87 and use to hang at S-10 Extremist. Thanks for the heads up. I am sure I will have more questions once I receive the cover.

That be it. Thanks

I have owned 5. A 85 Blazer 4wd. 85 short bed 2wd, 87 short bed 4wd, 95 Blazer 4wd and my Crew. I would buy a 2007 S-10 Crew if GM still made them. We still own the 95 Blazer as a DD and it still runs and rides like its new. Of course like any car or truck you have to keep up on maintenance. I have ...

IMO I think they would look a little nicer with a little contrast. Like this.
