It was done by my...

I've used the Zq8 box through 2 trucks now and it's always been good... I topped it off by replacing my intermediate shaft with one from a 98 Grand Cherokee... Quicker repsonse and no slop from a crappy rag joint (the grand cherokee and jeeps in general use a u-joint system)

looks great! i wish mine had a center shifter. btw did ya ever do the 98+ dash swap? or am i thinking of someone else? Gave up on the dash swap... The gauges in the 98+ run through the BCM and the 95-97 don't use that...:( As to the center shifter, I originally had a column shifter like everyone el...

Talk to "Blades" or whatever his name is now back over on SSF. I think he has or had a ZR2 Blazer and went through all the fun wiring up a tow haul button in the console. Yeah, he tried, but after all the mucking around, the PCM just wouldn't accept it even though he used a factory harness. Since I...

So today I was given a 2000 Envoy Center console and shifter to play with (and keep of course)...Install was easy as I had the necessary mounts in place from my Column shift to center shift mod. This console is similar to the Jimmy Diamond Edition center console. The center console is pewter/gray wh...

Another shining example of why I do my own brake jobs. Aside from the cost (30 bux a rotor, 30 for a full set of ceramic pads) I know if something is messed up I have no one to blame but myself.

No, all that simply needs to be done is replace the display itself with the trip/temp/compass/miledge etc display. 2 Additional wires will need to be added. 1 for RAD power and 1 to Serial data (which you can pick up behind the radio or behind the ALDL) This appies to any truck from 96 to current.

What do you think about the setup being weaker now? The area that held the steering "forces" was split over the whole 5-1/4+ piece, now, the contact point/area is much less, do you think this should be a concern? Not weaker what so ever, the stability factor of the entire shaft has actually improve...

rlith

I have read the post many times and things are not clear. What shaft did you purchase to replace the stock one? The year range , make , models and a part number would be great. This would be the most valuable piece of information. I was very clear on that. We used the 98+ Grand Chrokee shaft. It lo...

So many threads have gotten started asking how to change the #3 plug because the intermediate shaft is in the way. "Typically" people say to wedge the socket on, use a wobble, this that an the other thing. They end up fighting with something they don't have to. So I've decided to show the "EASIEST" ...

Wow, 18 hours? What the heck kind of probs did you run in to? Only took me 6 hours by myself with the PA 2" body lift..(I'm not criticizing what so ever, just want to know what probs you ran in to)

Post pics!

I'd like to point out it's also against federal law to do that. If someone decides to look (state trooper pulling you over for instance) You can get fined out the ying yang (avg fine=10,000)... Also if your state has emissions testing, it will auto fail you.

Sirius all the way...Better play lists, Howard Stern... Check out the forums at www.siriusbackstage.com

The lowest price I could find on a fuel filter for my 2002 2.2 was $35. That is a foreign made one. The American made one was about $45. These things will last to 100G unless something bad goes wrong...and mine is gonna make it too...ha ha. They tell you to bleed the fuel pressure before changing.....

rlith

Bottom line is, if you're not going to do something right, don't do it at all.

Are you guys talking about the vac switch on top of the transfer case? They only run 17 bux in the help section of advance autoparts. Yes, but does that one have the redesign to prevent contamination of the vacuum system? Yep... It's essentially got a built in check valve... I had to replace mine. ...

Don't forget, running your tbars up that much, your truck now needs an alignment... You may have trouble getting the tow to the correct angle with the way it's pitched now. Get it aligned!

Switch to a stant cap and the system will bleed properly.
