Hey All, I had the Crew set this trouble code yesterday. Looking it up is shows to be evap system large leak/no flow. Any ideas on what I should check out? I got gas 2 days before and was still at well over 1/2 tank when the code set. It has been very damp/raining for the last two days so not sure i...

Yup I am running the Cooper WeatherMaster S/T II 235/75/R15 studded tires in the winter and the Mastercraft Courser A/T 30x9.5's (a Cooper brand) for my summer tires. I have used Coopers on every s series I have had and all the cars I have put tires on. I like them a lot. They tend to be very reason...

Here is another tip: replace the wrist strap with a neck strap and use it like a ready sling. adjust so your body and camera are in tension with each other to help stabilize the camera, also if you are holding the camera out to see the LCD when you take the photo hold the camera up to your face and ...

Low light situations are hard for digital cameras, a pocket tripod is a good thing to have so you can set it down or brace it against your shoulder and get as little camera shake as possible, also they make little slave flashes that you can put closer to the subject if feasible or as an added punch ...

I suspect the overload is more than that, that was just the load in the bed. The true weight would have to take into account the drivers weight as well as how much gas was in the tank, any add ons to the truck and any gear stored in the vehicle as well.

Nice looking ride.

I have had 3 so far 1st -84 Jimmy ,2nd-95 Blazer and the Crew. Actually there was an 86 Blazer also but it was just a powerplant transplant for the 84. I would like to get a ZR2 of one sort or another as my next toy. Although if I had deep enough pockets an Avalanche would be mighty nice.

What you are experiencing is what I have gone through with every GM vehicle I have owned. I just expect thing to start wearing out quickly when the odometer reaches 80-90k.

I run Rancho RSX's and yes the front shock does mount upside down. I do not think there is enough room to mount them the other way round and if I recall they have a different mount on the one end than the other which will make it easy to install the correct way. I would run out and double check for ...

The other thing to check is to make sure all your connections to the sub are properly grounded and of the proper gauge wiring for the length of the wire run. If that is all good and there is still a problem with the sub drawing too much power an in line capacitor would be your next step, they hold a...

Just had this happen on the way home today in the blizzard. I didn't know how to fix but I figured once I got home someone in the gang would have the answer. I will have to tighten it down later.

Back from dealership. I had them give the truck the once over while having the thermostat leak worked on.

Nope that was the price to just turn the rotors not to replace them and the brake pads are still in spec so they were not replacing them either. Unfortunately they will not cover under warranty. Just something they don't want to admit is a problem I guess. I will have to decide on turning these down...

04crewvt

I was informed at the dealers that all 4 of my rotors look like Top Sgt's.:cry: They said this was causing my brakes to grab and be mushy at times. They wanted $130/axle to turn the rotors but that the pads were still good. :shock: I passed for now. They said this was caused by getting them too wet ...

Thermostat gasket was leaking, they replaced the gasket and thermostat and everything seems to be good. Still has Dex in it, they wanted $120 to powerflush and replace with green so I passed.

I haven't towed anyone but it is nice to be able to pass cars that can't drive on snow.
I did do some 360's in work parking lot a couple of weeks ago just to keep in practice.

I have thought about indexers only from the standpoint of my t-bar bolts are almost maxed out.

Battery is in. My factory battery never showed more than 14 on the gauge when running this new battery shows closer to 16 when running. I had been noticing the motor running a bit rough and it felt like is was lugging I wonder if this may have been the cause?

04crewvt

I went out today to install my Optima battery and found coolant leaking from the housing. It appears to have just started not long ago as the level in the reserve tank is still ok. Guess it's off to the dealer before the warranty runs out.

04crewvt

That would be half-wit right?

04crewvt

Maybe it just wanted the colors to match.

04crewvt

Well after 4 days of below 0 (with wind chill in excess of 25 below) my factory battery started giving me a warning that it was done for. Before it could leave me stranded I went to the parts store this morning and picked up an Optima Red Top for $149. I will pop it in tomorrow.

Anybody every give you any advise on the cruise control?
My full size trucks cruise failed when the switch on the multi-stalk (signal switch) shorted out. It would work fine until the wipers were turned on then it would quit.

04crewvt

No photos I found. best advice is to take one plate at a time under the truck with you along with the hardware, as soon as you find the right spot for it you will see where the mounting bolts need to go. I had the same problem with the diagram and still managed in less than 2 hours.

Sweet. The first year I had my truck I came back to VT in a Christmas blizzard and cut trail like that for 50 miles up through the mountains and down the other side from central NY.

So you got 149.5 miles on approximately 13-14 gallons of gas at 75-80 MPH with a 1500lb load +/- including trailer and stuff. I assume you were in 3rd gear not overdrive which is not recommended for towing in our trucks for a guestimate of 10.7 to 11.5 MPG. I think you are doing about all you can ex...

04crewvt

A rough estimate of your MPG from what you stated would be around 9.5-10 MPG. You don't say the size of the trailer or the loaded weight but if the rear is sagging it's a good bet you were over the 500lb tongue weight on the trailer so my guess is your load was near max? Also you were running at hig...

I certainly wouldn't complain if someone gave me the Jeep Gladiator or the Hummer H3T.

I would really like the snow to hold off around here until I am moved out of my current house and into my new place. I won't mind 3 feet after that but moving in the snow is too much like work.

I had the Eaton posi unit installed in my 95 blazer when I had the rear end rebuilt I liked it. I have thought about the Powertrax unit, it is supposed to be good on and off road but for now finding a new place to live takes precedence over any truck mods, or trail runs for that matter.

That's right, the idiot who ordered the truck from the factory got the tow hitch and the 3.73 gears but did not get the G80 locker.

My Taurus PT945 comes in at around $435 not a Sig by any means but in a pinch any .45 pointed at anyone should give them the idea that they should reconsider their current activities.

Compared to the stock shocks a welded steel rod would handle better. there are a number of good shock threads around including this one. shocksand this one.more shocks that should give you a good idea of how folks like the RS-5000's. I run the RSX's and love them.

What you will find with those sealed beam lights (at least in my neck of the woods ) is that if one blows out the cheapest thing to do is buy another entire unit. The lamps end up costing as much if not more than the whole unit.
