It could be a combo of a blown shock and a broken leaf in the spring pack. That could certainly cause a droop in on side of the truck. I had my GMC Jimmy leaning funny when I managed to get a stone stuck in the spring pack on one side also.

The cam I was running was CARB certified if I recall correctly. Your list reminded me that I also had the flex-a-lite fan and k&n filter and platinum tipped O2 sensors. Hard to remember all the mods after 5 years have passed

04crewvt

Ok, where to start. Mods on my 2.8l. Double roller timing chain,wolverine/blue racer high torque low rpm cam with roller rockers,edelbrock tubular exhaust system,high output alternator, Jacobs ignition system with dual coil selector,8mm jacobs plug wires and 0 guage battery cables, optoma red top ba...

I did a lot of mods on my 84 Jimmy to improve the 2.8 including converting it to a late 80's FI motor that I had torn down and rebuilt with lots of performance parts. I ended up with a truck that had lots of low end power but wouldn't get above 75mph if your life depended on it. I managed to get it ...

I am finding out that with the HPPIII my truck gets around 16.5-17.5 mpg on 87 octane and around 18.2 on 89 with the programming set for 87. I also find a difference of about 1 mpg between the two stations I have been using to get gas, so if your milage needs improving try a different brand gas for ...

Darkons generate negative sounds, thats why we turn off the lights at night when going to sleep, it is more restful to us. Photons create positive sounds thats why we wake up in the morning when the photons start exciting the birds and causing sounds like garbage trucks on our streets that are never...

04crewvt

well I know when I get a migrain I suffer from extreme light sensitivity with Aura so maybe thats the link between dark suckers/darkons and headaches.

04crewvt

Ow! my head hurts.

04crewvt

OK now that we are completly off the topic of lightbulbs can we get a moderator to split the topic so we don't have too many threads going on in this one.

04crewvt

In Physics 101 we found and quantified this phenomenon and learned that it was actually a subatomic partical with more power than an other know to us, it was was postulated that this partical, the DARKON, was indeed the basic building block of the universe and that is why the night sky which is much...

04crewvt

And the 6 who will debate until everyone wants to strangle them about who makes the best lighbulb and why they feel any other bulb is inferior.

04crewvt

Yea nice ride and more info on the trailer please. I have the plan in my head to use a zr-5 bed to convert into a trailer for my truck for camping, Nice to see someone has done something similar.

Welcome to the site

04crewvt

One to tell a new member that there is plenty of information on light bulbs on the site and instruct them to use the search function to find them.

04crewvt

I think the next unit of this type I purchase will be this one from JC Whitney much higher power output and amp ratings than most, unfortunatly at twice the price also.

04crewvt

Amp rating is most probably peak amps, my guess is that the actual cold cranking amps will be as low as 250amp or less which should start your truck depending on how dead the battery actually is and how cold it is out when you try to start it. The difficulty with these systems is that unless you tes...

04crewvt

I have two of these units. My first one was a Prestone-jump-it. it had just the battery cables and a small light with two 12v outlets on it. It ran around $100 at the local auto parts store. I have had it since 2000 and it has jump started my full size chevy numerous times, and my lawn tractor all ...

04crewvt

What a hose job! Do you have an itemized bill from the original brake job? I would enter a complaint withe the BBB and If you paid with a charge card I would see if they could help you with a dispute. Either way what a lousy way to do business. http://img133.exs.cx/img133/6927/explotar2jr.gif Nothin...

Got the shackles in. They gave me another 1 1/5 inches over the roadmaster suspension bringing me up to 34 1/5 inches from the ground to the top of the fender well. This is up from 31 inches when I bought it stock. With the t-bars adjusted to maximum I gainned 1 1/5 inches in the front (still keepin...

04crewvt

Sorry, Our crews use the more basic console. I think you would have to find the computer from a Blazer and replace the stock one. Since our front harnesses seem to be from the Blazers you might get lucky and have the proper wiring in the console connector but I would bet you would have to find and i...

04crewvt

Just as a reminder when you buy new tires they are supposed to have a registration form included for the tires. This form lists the serial # of each tire If you mail them in you will be on the database so if there is a tire recall you will be notified. I believe this is required for all tire manufac...

Here is what I found on-line. Tire Recall 23 Newsroom Cooper Tire and Rubber is recalling about 288-thousand replacement tires used on passenger cars and light trucks. The tire maker says the recall was prompted by concerns about slow leaks and cracking in the tires -- a small portion of the 40 mill...

I have gotten creaking groaning noises from all 3 of my s-10/blazers in cold weather(below 0) In cold weather I think the factory rubber bushings harden and cause the noise. It usually stops after a few miles once they warmed up.

04crewvt

OK, so I have run the Roadmaster Suspension in my crew for the last two weeks it really help keep the truck stable in cross winds and help the suspension feel but I do not like the rear end sway I have picked up in cornering. I think the open shackle design is allowing too much movement side to side...

Got gas today after the first week at my new job. 264.7 miles and got 14.575 gallons to fill the tank, for 18.16mpg with just under three gallons left in the tank I should have been able to push it to 317 miles on fumes. I am running 3.73 gears with hppIII set for 87 and running 89 in the tank. Just...

How bout this then:

Hello, For parts go to : LMC Truck Parts and get yourself a catalog, That will get you lots of replacement parts.

Thanks to everbody who make this site what it is.

04crewvt

04crewvt

This one really speaks to me. I am just not sure of what it is saying.

04crewvt

I vote coopers as well

how about these I am looking at them to repace the stock tires in the spring.cooper2

04crewvt

No problem. I just hope you have the early year model. On the up side the 95 1/5 4.3 I had had 243,000 miles on it and it was still going strong when I traded it in for the crew. I found out mine was the newer 95 when I plugged in the auto x-ray scanner and had to tell it it was hooked to a 96 and u...

04crewvt

If it was a GM listed part installed by the dealer at the time of original purchase I think it would have to be under the manufactures warranty.

04crewvt

Unfortunatly I think the pillar itself is a different shape so the older trim won't fit. If I could find a loose piece cheap I might try it but I don't want to buy a set that will end up in the seemingly endless supply of parts that didn't work or didnt fit I seem to be accumulating. http://forum.hk...

04crewvt

Yup, totally different profile what a PITA

04crewvt

I'm afraid that's about what it ran, at least around here. We do seem to pay a bit more for everything around here so hopefully you will be able to get parts for a bit less. Let us know what they say when they get it apart.

04crewvt

sounds good I have a trams temp and oil temp guage just sitting around until I could figure this problem out myself. Maybe with two of us working on it one of us will figure something out

04crewvt

Mine started off life as a triple pod that ran from the headliner to the dash. They do not have the extension that travels down the side of the dash along the door weatherstripping so I would have had to cut that off the pillar trim. Also the angle of the a-pillar did not allow the pod to sit evenly...

04crewvt

My 95 blazer had that replaced by the previous owner. It is a common problem with that years motor from what I have heard. Repair bill was around $550 to replace unit.

04crewvt

Yup once again the 03-04 have to deal with the last model year changes which have not had as many aftermarket parts designed for them. My guess is that the entire pillar is a different shape so even getting one from a junkyard won't work to get a matched set for both sides. That's why my triple guag...

Battery venting acid? Not as common with sealed batterys but they do still have vents.

04crewvt

Free= go for it what have you got to lose. Pick up a used rad for maybe $100 and a valve for $30 or so and beat the snot out of it until it dies. Kelly blue book value of between $800 - 1200 with no options listed just stock, if it has air/cruise tilt or power windows it adds a bit more.

04crewvt

A-Pillar trim panel is different shape on the 2003-2004, found that out when I tried to install guage pods. The pods are supposed to fit all s-10/blazer from 95-2001 but have the wrong profile for the 2003-2004 and I have not found anyone making one to fit them at this time.

E95 Tonneau Cover, ZR5 Soft is the one I have.

Also avalible were two other covers:
PDU Tonneau Cover, Hard Folding
Not available with Soft Tonneau Cover Dlr
PDW Tonneau Cover, Soft
Not available with Hard Folding Tonneau Cover Dlr

04crewvt

Didn't know there was even an option for that. Haven't seen that one listed anywhere. Guess they ordered a bit of an odd mix and didn't get some of the things that would have made more sense like the locking rear end to go with the tow package that is installed and the engine block heater which I th...

04crewvt

Don't I know it. The original owners of this truck ordered every option avalable except the leather interior,floor mats,cd changer,full size spare, and the locking rear diff from the looks of it.

04crewvt

Guess I should get a photo for everyone.

04crewvt

As far as I know the tonneau cover is stock with the zr-5 package, thats why it has zr-5 emblazoned on the cover itself. I could be wrong on this but I am not sure.

04crewvt

I like them. They are more my style than some of the other choices I have see recently. I want wheels that look nice but can take some punishment these look like they would fit that bill.

04crewvt

Glad to help - those weatherpak connections sometimes look like they are connected but are not locked in, I have had that happen before. it can be a bear to figure out what's wrong .

04crewvt

I didn't take any photos of the install but it was farly straight foward. My 2004 does not seem to have the wire harness connection to add the port so I just splice tapped into the existing 12v lighter port for the two constant hot ports one front and one back. For the switched hot I wired into the ...

p0102= Mass air flow low input. Check to see that you reconnected the MAF sensor after you reattached the air filter hose assembly.

I got the kit from JC Whitney but it is also avalible from summit racing. Kit run $219.99 but I had a 15% off coupon for the order so it ended up at around $186 plus shipping which was less than $30 for my whole order which included the Rancho steering stabilizer kit.

04crewvt

Thanks f9k9, the wheels are american racing wheels that I got on my 84 Jimmy when I bought it. They are about the only thing I had left after it was wrecked, that and the original fender flairs which I had off for body work. They are great for my winter wheels. The taillight guards came from stylin ...

Just to give you an idea, in the bed of my truck is 80lbs of rock salt, apx 50lbs for the tool box and it also has a full tank of gas. I think it will certainly help keep your rear up with the cap. The nice thing about this system is that it is progressive, the more you add to the back the more it r...

Not yet, most of the driving I do is on the most travelled road in Vermont Route 7. It is a two lane road that has nearly 3000 cars pass by my house in any given day.

Well with one night driving on them I do like them so far. They are certainly much less yellow and they seem to be able to define the road a little better. I am sure the silverstars would be better but for now I think these will do. At least I didn't get brighted by other drivers so they must not ha...

04crewvt

Possibly but they do look a little better on the wall of my garage and if they are even a little better it will help, if they are not any better I can always switch them back. I know that the blue coating cuts down the light output I am not as concerned about how much brighter they are as wether I c...

Got my accessory ports installed. wired one switched hot for the backup camera and two , one in the back of the center console, constant hot. so now instead of one factory I have four total and a power converter in the back under the passengers seat.

Well I replaced the high and low beams today with inexpensive xenon blue bulbs high beams 100w low beams 65w "off road only" to see if they are any better than the factory bulbs which I couldn't see @#@# with.

Bed rail on mine are straight up and down the angled cuts are fit into rubber grommets which match the bed profile. My guess is that they are reversible but not sure.

First things first. Have you checked for a blown fuse? Also I saw in your post on codes you have only used 4 wheel drive a couple of times since you have had the truck. Have you at least engaged the 4 wheel drive once a month or so as recommended otherwise internal components are apt to fail due to ...
