Aw come on, in Vermont we call that a class 3 road,where are the offroad photos?

Seriously though looks fun.

04crewvt

Thats cool info thanks. The question then becomes if you are going to spend the extra $25 for the tow hook blocks is there any other benifit/drawback of the BDS body lift kit over the PA body lift for our trucks?

04crewvt

Around here it's Mini Cooper's - or is that speed bumps? - that plague the roads. Nothing quite like getting stuck behind one on a snow covered hill with no place to pass to make you wish you could just go over them and be done with it.

04crewvt

he green and the graphics are outf__king standing Thumbs up! Thanks for the compliment. The graphics were a bit of a pain to install (about 1 1/2 hours each side mostly to make sure they were even on both sides as well as doing all the cutting around the door handles/body gaps and on the other side...

04crewvt

The body lift looks sweet and the White is Right.

Now I really want to lift mine.

04crewvt

But you should let Walt have something to do

I had the chance to try out the disconnected sway bar. The flip forward and capped hooks storage worked great. Easy and simple. The truck did feel a little "mushy" on the highway, but nothing scary. Offroad it floated nicely over the terrain. It definitely allows the suspension to move more than it...

04crewvt

Yeah...I still feel bad about that. The dude that bought it is weird though. They gave him the black rims and MTR's after putting the stock rims and a new set of tires on the truck. I should have just told them I'd keep everything off of it, but then they probably would not have given me wholesale ...

I had to register then I could see all the posts.

Thanks for some options I hadn't found. BTW whats up with the S-seriesforum.com site I went there and all the forums show no threads or posts do you need to register just to read them?

04crewvt

Does anybody have a list of all the web sites devoted to the S-10? Now that we have lost one site and it's replacement has a certain bias toward their membership I am seeking other sites on which to look. I really only post here but I keep an eye on S 10 forum,S10 extremist.org, and S10 owners. Any ...

The worst think for me is that the .....geezer..... wanted the pre-runner and lights I was trying to get through the classified section. So you can bet you will see that topper on a trail near you with all lights blazing.

This will get you in to the backdoor of the old site for now at least. This was posted in the zr2usa site thread form above.

Well I knew from the sound it was air, just didn't have the correct location

Guess you stumped all of us on this one. Glad you figured it out quickly though I wouldn't have wanted to be around that sound for long.

04crewvt

If the 92 4.3 has an air pump check if there is a leak in the tube running to the manifold (at least I am pretty sure it runs into the manifold) that could cause a high pitch whistle. Mind that this is only a guess.

04crewvt

And their brakes. If with the engine off you can pump up pressure on the pedal and then start the truck and the pedal slowly sinks all the way down to the floor you may have the same problem I had.

04crewvt

Got my crew back from the dealership today. They found the steering gearbox leaking and replaced it then had the allignment done. Nice smooth ride today to work. They also found an internal vacuum leak in the brake booster and replaced unit, brakes much better now. They also fixed the wipers,they re...

04crewvt

Close enough for government work that's for sure. The displacement numbers are almost always rounded to the nearest whole # and yes the 327 was a great motor. If you do the conversion the other way you get this 327 cubic inch = 5.358 liter. Basically they are the same block design just measured slig...

04crewvt

Doing the conversion gives you 323.43 cubic inches

I ran this stuff in my 84 Jimmy it's 2.8l motor tended to overheat and this stuff kept it running about 20-40 degrees cooler than before I added it.

04crewvt

Here is the info as of today. Dealer is ordering me a new steering box,brake vacuum booster,and wiper pulse module. They couldn't duplicate the 4HI -2LO problem or so they said so that will have to wait until it gets worse I guess. They tried the old "did the problems start after you did all the mod...

04crewvt

Taking it in to the dealer this morning. I have to go out an remove the HPPIII program and set it back to stock.I am leaving the 30x9.5 and the spacers on. I hope they don't try to make that the culprit since I have told them before about the steering problem before I had the new tires on. I am also...

04crewvt

I like the nice clean trucks. I just wish I could get a weekend without rain around here so I could really get mine cleaned up. It has rained on the weekend for 3 consecutive weeks http://img103.exs.cx/img103/8325/angry2.gif Coming off of Vemont's fifth if unofficial season of the year (MUD SEASON) ...

04crewvt

As for them checking the position of the alignment cams I doubt if they paid much attention to that they have to outsource all their alignment work because they do not have there own rack and since they also loosened the sway bar when they removed the half shaft and left it loose when they gave it b...

04crewvt

After getting ideas on what to do about my crews rear end moving around I placed my order from Summit Racing for the Energy Suspension rear bushings, front sway bar bushings and a Hotchkiss rear sway bar kit. The sway bar kit came in first so last Saturday I installed that, pretty straight foward al...

04crewvt

Amsoil 0w-30 here ,year round since its change interval is one year or 30000 miles whichever comes first. Have to order some this weekend along with a filter for it's spring changeover.

04crewvt

Ok so my wiper started to act up. First intermediate setting works well. Second setting works well for a few seconds then goes to low....All intermediate settings above strictly act in low setting. Low and high setting works properly....Is this the same wiper glitch problem. I think that jarhead wa...

04crewvt

What about a rear sway bar? Since they mount to the frame and the axle tubes would they give me some help, I was going to pick a set of Hellwigs up to help stop body sway in the wind anyway and it would be great if one thing could help more than one problem. As for the shackles I did go with a set t...

04crewvt

Does anyone know if the rear track bar from the zr2's will fit onto our crews? I went for a drive on a wet clay dirt road yesterday and found that my rear axle is all over the place when hitting the ruts ( as much as 2 or 3 inches) side to side motion. This seems to be the problem I have had all alo...

04crewvt

Well I got my CC back from the dealers yesterday. They did a number of things including replacing the right side CV axel shaft and boot,left plate lamp replaced, dash speaker replaced,drivers side weatherstrip replaced and the two broken studs replaced. Total cost $0 !!! they covered everything unde...

04crewvt

Thats basicaly the way the Rancho steering stabilizer I have bolts up. I have had no problems with it. I would check for loose nuts occasionally and to make sure it hasn't shifted position which could cause steering bind. Other than that I think you are good to go.

04crewvt

with my XP system I have lots of blocking/antispy running thats why I went to a fresh install of WIN2K on a blank HD no virus/firewall/antispy at all Tomcat and Transbase were running. I think the DVD is supposed to be in and running when the application is in use. But it does not seem to access it ...

04crewvt

Has anyone tried to use the GM eSI DVD repair manual? I bought a set off E-Bay and can't get it to run on either my WinXP or Win2K system after installing all I get is the error SI stand alone application is installed you must install SI data to continue. I am trying to get more info on the problem ...

Don't know about the pacicfier but I guess it could be due to all the home grown beef and giant veggies we used to grow at home 40lb butternut squash, 2lb potatoes,fingerling carrots a foot long, always wondered if we should test for radiation in the garden. http://www.clipart.co.uk/clipart/mazeguy/...

I have a health respect for all dogs but rottweillers are the only ones I steer clear of. Got between house and barn where"Mommy" was and had two rotts set up on me I froze while thinking ok one I might fend off with lots of injuries on both sides but two no way, and here I am 50 yards from my 9mm l...

04crewvt

yup- the dog keeps someone like me occupied while you try to shoot enough hole in me to do more than piss me off.

Yea try finding a 62 extra tall suit coat and have them stretch the sleeves to 39 inches

ARRRGGGGHHHH!!!! So I ran the truck for a week with the new tires and spacers, CV boot is still not fixed, when I went to get the new wheel stud my full size truck blew out its exhaust in the Advance Auto parking lot. I had no choice but to run the crew for the week until I could fix the other truck...

04crewvt

You will find that we all have replaced our factory shocks, Bilsteins seem to be the preferred brand but many of us are running the Ranchos with good luck also. I personally run the Rancho RSX.

04crewvt

zr-5 is just the code for an appearance package. You should just tell them it's a crew cab and they should be able to figure it out. ZR-2 is a special package with a lot of differences so many parts will be different. When in doubt check with us if one of us hasn't repaced the part you need we can p...

04crewvt

With all these companies having so many subsidiaries it's like keeping track of an octopus and all of it's tentacles.

04crewvt

I will have to check on that warranty. If it is 100% I have no worries at all

04crewvt

They do not show them on there web site but it is possible. All of the other web sites look similar and have links back to Cooper but the pro-comp dosen't.

04crewvt

so do the mastercrafts, dosn't mean they will make it that far and remember that tires have prorated warranties. I figure if I only get 40k they will buy me one out of 4 new tires.

04crewvt

I will keep the milage in mind but for me that's about 4 years of driving so it will be a while before I can post an update on tread life.

04crewvt

Any tire with the mountain snowflake designation will have a shorter tread life than a regular A/T or M/T, they are made with a softer rubber compound to better stick to the snow. 20000 on a tire like that is a pretty good run. I just got my 4 Mastercraft A/T's for $ 453.47 and that included mountin...

04crewvt

Nice looking tires. They are not a Cooper brand though. Coopers encompas, Cooper,Dean,Mastercraft,Micky Thompson,D*** Cepek,Avon,Starfire& Kenda.

My stock grill emblem was cracking and peeling so I decided to spruce up the front end a bit.

The carbon fiber sheet was ...

04crewvt

Got the new stud installed tonight. Less than half an hour to install and put everything back together. I bought a spare and a spare lug nut at the same time and will just add them to my tool kit in case of another breaking off at a less convienient time. Now that I know how, it should be less than ...

04crewvt

I have one of the cheap systems on my truck. It certainly does increase the airflow over stock. I did just add a stainless steel heat shield to my system as well. I really do not see how a more expensive system would work any better but it would look more refined.

04crewvt

Sorry HenryJ, I wasn't ignoring you must have missed that post http://www.aimoo.com/forum/images/messageicon/excalmatorymark.gif I checked the other ones this morning and they look ok. I would say it is my fault I probably over torqued them when I put them on last. I was just using a ratchet wrench....

04crewvt

The stud is out! Thanks for the pointers on getting the rotor off it was just a variation on the ones I have done before. The large c-clamp to push the pistons back worked great, caliper popped right off and the caliper assembly came right off once I got the bolts loose. I actually was able to get t...

04crewvt

I just save my Mod crisis up for one big PITA, CV boot & broken stud, both just to get spacers and larger tires on while also getting in a lube job and trying to find the elusive last zerk now buried under a ton of CV boot grease. How many others can I find for the weekend. Oh wait ! I had to rememb...

04crewvt

I figured the more help the merrier

04crewvt

in this case it would be my ex-wifes baster and I did that years ago when I dropped a bolt into the manifold when changing a thermostat. I have worked on brakes before I just have always had the proper repair manual to guide me. I just can't stomach spending the money on the cd repair manuals and Ha...

04crewvt

The stud I am not worried about I think with f9k9's help I will be all right with trying to get that out of the rotor, where it is stuck, on my own. I can at least drive it in to the dealer's on 4. As for the spacer it is sitting in my front seat obviously not ever having been installed. If they cha...

04crewvt

If thats all there is to getting far enough in there to get the broken stud out I have everything I need. It just looked like it was more involved than that. I will have to try that tomorrow. Thanks

04crewvt

clamp has come loose grease has been thrown all over the undercarrage.

04crewvt

If you could give me an idea of what i need to do I might be able to get the rotor off and at least be able to get it to the dealers without having it towed. How does the rotor come off on our trucks or is there a way to get to the back side to replace a stud with out removing the rotor.

04crewvt

the list of tools would be great. I have worked on other trucks before but this one is a little more of a pain from the looks of it. The closest parts store that might have loaner tools is near where I work so I would have to wait until monday to find out if they have loaners.

04crewvt

Well I shouldn't have any problems with the spacers they literally have been on there for less than 50 ft of driving. Same thing with the non stock size tires and I have all the paperwork to show that if I need to but they seem to be ok so far with repairs. Only thing I am afraid of is they will wan...

04crewvt

Can't even drive it on the flats right now got a busted stud inside the rotor on the driver's side and I can't get it off to get it out.

04crewvt

1.5" tweak- blew out the passenger side inner boot sometime this week.

04crewvt

Just got my new Mastercraft Courser A/T's on today these are the same tire as the discontinued Cooper Discoverer A/t's. I went with the 30x9.5x15 on the stock ZR-5 rim and added 1" spacers to the front with 2.5" in the rear.

04crewvt

I went with Completvalues 2.5" Hubcentric in the rear and 1" hubcentric in the front, looks good on my rig.

04crewvt

So today was the big day. My Spacers from Complete value came in on Thursday 2.5" hubcentric for the rear and 1" hubcentric for the front. My new Mastercraft Courser A/T's came in yesterday and I had them mounted on my stock rims this morning. While waiting for them I started to prep everything for ...

04crewvt

Glad I could help. Ocasionally the proper application of brute force is the only answer.

04crewvt

I had the same problem with mine and I could not get to the bolts to remove it from the frame rail, a rear brake line was running right over the top of one of the bolts. I sprayed the filter with break free and used a set of channel locks one jaw on the edge of the filter and one on the bracket and ...

04crewvt

Still have 1 year/18000 mi on the warranty. So no lift yet been looking into options for lifting but for now just have the t bars tweaked out, with the lift shackles and roadmaster suspension in the rear. I almost never go off road and what I do is mostly two track/farm field camping type driving. T...

04crewvt

Its between a 30x9.5x15 or a very small 31x10.5x15 actual size 30.0 or the third choice comes in at 30.2. I think I have a good amount of room in the rear just not sure about the front.

04crewvt

Looking at replacing my stock tires this spring and was wondering if anyone knows of a tire size calculator or offhand knows the conversion of tread width vs rim width. I am looking at a set of tires that at measured rim width of 7.5 runs a tread width of 7.3/section width 9.3 . My other size choice...

Another dime cut down in the prime of it's life.Glad he was alright looks like the roll bar saved his bacon.

How about this option to remove those off road wannabes in there pristine Hummers.

I was digging around in my garage the other day and I came across the PA542 2" body lift kit I bought but never installed on my 84 Jimmy.
