The front axle differs in that it is a "banjo" housing. It splits apart to service.

has anyone done a write up on this service?

I need to get 3.73 gears for my truck...but I have yet to see the inside of my front dif (been in the rear dif a few times) can anyone tell me what it is I'm lookin for? is it the same as the rear (i.e. ring and pinion?) or is it different?

Any help is appreciated.

gairbear

I know it's not mentioned in this thread but do you happen to have 3.73 gears for the front available???? I have 3.42's and the only thing available for my rear end around here is 3.73's so I'll need to upgrade the front while I'm at it...

gairbear

I'll let the housing go CHEAP, but freight will be the killer here. I checked to see what it would cost to ship to you In Ft.Worth, TX 76179. It would need to be shipped to a business address. This would be coming via truck freight. My local yard gets a better price than I do and Kelly says that it...

S-10 warehouse is sending me a replacement axle for FREE! Outstanding. I have heard good things about them, yours is another. Glad it is working out for you. Just curious...what did you pay? Are mine priced right? I paid 60 shipped but I've seen them all accross the board. I'd say yours are priced ...

gairbear

Usually...MSRP (Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price) Includes a profit for all parties involved......People just get a bit greedy sometimes.

gairbear

That's COOL.....decent price too.

A wise man once said,

"2 out of 3 ain't bad"

gairbear

What's the best way to ship tires? and do they need to be classified as freight...or the other one

.

THanks

Gair

gairbear

Wow....this is Really cool....I'm gonna have to add this mod to the list.

gairbear

Thanks bro... All I really have for lift is a 2" BL...(I'm gonna do a little t-bar tweak soon though), I believe, don't quote me, the rims have 4" BS.....no spacers and no frome rub (that's why I went with these rims instead of the old ones) And I've trimmed about 2 inches off of the rear of the fro...

gairbear

I'd say I got about an inch or so.....that's gonna change a bit once I "adjust" the t-bars about an inch.

gairbear

sooooooo......?

gairbear

The good news is that there are Respectful, level headed, dare I say Ambitious "20 somethings" in the world to pave the way, if you will, for others.....to show them that another path in life is available to them via effort and knowledge.

They'll all come around eventually......hopefully.

Gair

gairbear

I think it's more an issue of respect for yourself and others....it seems to me that these dudes just hove no respect for their roommates or their home. Maybe they see it as a dumping ground...

Gair

gairbear

but...record for what exactly??

gairbear

yeah...I was Very happy when I actually saw them on for the first time....(tear). I think I need spacers for the rear so the track will line up.

Thanks for the props bro....

Gair

gairbear

OK....what's Steve's record......

gairbear

Sometimes locksmiths have a scan tool...you may wanna call around before runnin' to the stealer...I mean dealer...sorry....freudian slip.

Gair

gairbear

^^^^^that's what I was thinkin'....everything binds up on the "inside" wheel while on pavement... I've had the same thought before myself. but then I tried it on some loose gravel/dirt....and it wasn't as bad as I thought.

Give it a try on some gravel/dirt.

gairbear

When you go up an incline while turning does it rub on the rear of the fender well or somewhere else? :? Steve AS of right now...I'm not totally positive.....it may be the front bumber..... I think I may need to take a look at the height (t-bar adjustment)...I've had rubbing issues with the pass. f...

gairbear

Are you on pavement when this happens? or dirt?

Gair

gairbear

I've already done some trimming to the back of the front fender, and the front valance. I Only rub going up a steep incline while turning right at a very specific angle....but other than that...I'm good

Sorry...she's a little dirty

$1.93 for 87 yesterday...WOOHOO

gairbear

PICS????

gairbear

Just got some new 32x 11.5's yesterday.....They look great....Might need to do a bit of trimming on the front bumper area and the rear fenders...Just in case. I'll post pics soon.

gairbear

yeah..It would be SUPER expensive.

gairbear

DO they all have double sunfroof's?....Maybe they're trying to tell us something....

gairbear

THAT is sweet HJ

gairbear

the wife's car has these thingies that keep the belt straight as it's retracting.....anyone know where I can get a few for the CC??

gairbear

K..that was SSSSSOOOOOO the problem....My spectacular wife just fixed both of them with her tiny wrists....(she could fit her hands in there better).

WOOHOOO

gairbear

^^^^HMMMMM.

gairbear

Sweet...I want a double sun roof!!!

gairbear

Don't tire shops have some sort of measuring device for tread......what amount of tread should I be looking to have left on a good set of used tires????

Thanks

gairbear

K...the 2 rear shoulder seat belts in the CC are totally Stuck....is there something I can do to fix this??? AT ALL??
HELP!!!

Thanks
Gair

gairbear

WOW Mattfu,,is that Canadian or US???

gairbear

I use the truck as a daily driver. I have always liked the Zr2 setup and think I would like a similar setup on my Zr5. Anyone know what the biggest tire I can put on the stock rims that will fit without cutting? (I'll save the cutting for later down the road) :D I had a larger tire on my 2wd that r...

gairbear

I got the Monroe Reflex and they're...good, but a little bit..squishy at times....but a kabillion times better than stock IMO. I had about 60,000 miles on my stockers.

Gair

gairbear

So it does effect the angles of all the axles then???

gairbear

We shall see......eventually....LOL

gairbear

would rims with backspacing of like...ida know....4 inches...have an effedt on the rubbing....I HAVE trimmed the rear part of the front fender....like 2".???

gairbear

My vote stays with the dremmel as I've tried both....the saws all will not really allow you to make any kind of precise cuts....one of my fenders is a bit more "wavy" than the other...and the dremmel didn't take too long...maybe 45 mins. But Walt DID hit the nail on the head about the cuting discs.....

gairbear

Welcome, Congrats on the ZR5 Purchase....prepair to empty your wallet,LOL. A zr2's suspension is a bit "different" The front control arm mounting points are moved down a bit (kinda like a stock suspension lift...if you will) and as you probably already know they come with 31x10.5" tires......I assum...

That SUCKS

Thanks for the info guys...you've been a big help.

Jigg....how'd the 32x11.5's fit.....any rubbing??

gairbear

ALL,
I have this topic on another forum as well....just figured I'd get Everyone's opinion. K...SO...what is everyone's take on buying used tires?? what are some things to look out for.....how much tread is "enough" to last a bit....Etc...

Comments, Concerns...

Thanks all

gairbear

I'm trying to fig out what my gear ratio is....wasn't there some chart or something that told you what code meant what, somewhere??\

Gair

I mostly listen to the same stuff as somecrew....with a little pink floyd added.

Oh...BTW...I don't think Alice in Chains is "old" just yet.

That's exactly what I was thinking of doing...glad to see it looks good...What size tires are those???

what exactly is your setup.....?

gairbear

I took her into the dealer after hearing this and they say that they get "GLAZED" from traffic constant light braking.....has anyone else ever heard of this???

Gair

gairbear

sweet

gairbear

go go gadget job promotion (pending)

gairbear

Oh...so it's really ok to do then?

gairbear

K... I was just looking at a BL from performance accessories. They say that it's not recommended to sue a BL along with a susp. lift.

WHY?

Gair

gairbear

OK..now it's August....??????

gairbear

How do you know it's right...how do you test it exactly??

gairbear

I just got back from the dealer where I bought my cc a few weeks ago and I wanted them to check some stuff for me. one thing was the speedometer setting. and he told me that they could NOT change the speedo programming to compensate for 30" tires...or any tires for that matter...they only have 2 ste...

gairbear

oh yeah...you're running stock rims...right

gairbear

wow...really .....Just that little bit??

gairbear

Looks to me like a bit of cutting is in order....an inch or 2 should do it.

gairbear

wow....you got a pretty friggin good price..

gairbear

Every one that I work with wants one now.....at least all the dudes.

gairbear

are you running stock rims...with stock backspacing I mean

gairbear

I live in dallas/ ft worth.....been back here for about 8 months now...I've seen ONE other than mine....

I like that though....makes me feel kinda original I guess...lol

gairbear

well that's a big help...maybe I'll go with a single lid

gairbear

I got it plugged for now...the guy said it was a REALLY TIGHT FIT. so if it gives me any more greif I'll go with the patch.

Thanks for the input guys
