TB Spacers are ineffective for the second generation fuel injection systems. Reason being the the fuel is injected directly into the intake ports in the head, not like TBI and carbureted engines that mix the fuel in the body of the intake manifold just below the TBI/Carb. So adding additional height...

Swaying is a by-product of soft suspension components. I would recomend looking into overloads for the rear, either the Boise Spring Works kit, "Load Leveler" shocks from Monroe (coil over design) or even air shocks... If you don't have one install a rear sway bar... Also look into an upgraded trail...

What excactly is that little piece of tin? Are you talking about the thin piece of metal on the back side of the brake pad that goes between the caliper and pad or the metal piece that the ears of the brake pads ride on? I believe they are both there for anti-rattle and anti-squeak reasons, but obv...

The passage goes to the EGR valve, and not directly to the inake. I could see using a shop vac and some non-flammable electrical cleaner to wash out the passage afterward. Do not use anything flammable with a shop vac. It WILL go boom! Well you are technically correct but the passage is cast as par...

Why buy. when for less than the price of the restrictor and shipping you could build your own... I did this to my intake and it has never thrown a code. I read the thread on the size needed for the restrictor to work without throwing a code then a friend and I found that the restrictor that sells fo...

Well I see something that was not discussed. If you look at the stated transmission ratios for a GM 4spd Auto w/Overdrive you will see that third gear is rated as 1:1 and 4th is 0.7:1 (30% OD). So towing with third gear should not be a problem...plus towing also depends on your differential gearing,...

20Blazer00

Better take a closer look at the differential, make sure nothing is weird inside. Check for external identification to be positive that you don't have a G80 installed. It would not be the first time mistakes were made in the assembly line/manufacturing process. If that does not yield any clues then ...

Does the noise go away in 4hi/4lo? Did you check the u-joints and the CV joint on the front drive shaft at the transfer case front output shaft? When checking the CV joint keep an eye on that area of the transfer case for excessive movement it might indicate bad bearing??? Might be a loose chain??? ...

Could be gas cap if it was not tightened past 3clicks, I did this on my GA and ever since I make sure that the cap is on past 3clicks to remove the gas cap from causing the SES light from coming on...could also be a leak in the hose to the tank or the Evap canister back by the fuel tank...or it coul...

Not a bad setup but I would retain the gear mechanism and fab something up to use the manual shift mechanism from an older s-10 4x4 or the 231 manual shifted.... He failed to mention if he repainted the cut he made in the body if not then it will rust out for sure....plus with now rubber boot I woul...

The sensor goes on the radiator OUTPUT? Sure does not make alot, or any, sense to me, there must be another sensor that turns the fans on. Makes sense if you want to be sure that the water temp going back into the engine is at the proper temperature, if you put it on the inlet side then temp readin...

I just got my 2003 S-10 4x4 crew a month ago. It has 3.42 gears, 235/75R15 and so far I get 16.5 to 17.5 mixed driving on winter blend gas. Sounds bad but compared to my '04 Sierra with the 5.3 that got 14-15 this time of year. My 1995 Sonoma 4.3tbi 5sp 4x4 ext cab got 19mpg constantly around town ...

I don't think that would work. They also said something about being the original vehicle that it was used on. Now, I'm just trying to figure out if there is a way to set my PCM back to the way it was before the dealership updated it! If I could do that, then I could use the HPP3 because it would re...

20Blazer00

I just got the HPP3 today from Sonoma915... he set it back to stock before he sold it to me. I've never done anything to the computer before. All I know is that back in January of '05 the Dealership updated my computer. I am thinking that this has something to do with the HPP3 not passing that stag...

Newer 4.3L use a Linear EGR Valve so it will vary the amount of gases based on computer progam. But you can still limit the amount that gets to the EGR valve to use by restriction in the feed system...

Well one of the yards I get to has a core section of engines that are not being resold and they sometimes have parts left on them. My friend found the Northstar TB on an engine there and walked away with it for $15. Just have to get in good with your local yard crew...know what they have and where t...

I am tempted to go back soon. The throttle feels really sluggish. It takes noticeably more travel to get moving. It just feels like a grandma's car :( If you don't want to go back to the CFM unit. If you can find a Cadillac Northstar TB the blade has no difuser and fits into our TB's just fine no n...

Holy old thread Batman! BTW is he still selling these? Why pay $40+ for something that you can make your self for a lot less and easier. Instead of buying one of these finely machined parts a friend had figured out that if you take a 3/8 npt plug put in the 5/32 hole and thread it into the manifold...

You should back off on the HyperTech shift firmness settings. I have browsed a lot of forums on this subject, and I believe that s-series.org has your answers. There is a "Sticky" on the 4l60 trans and the short of it is. Is that if you install a mechanical shift firming kit then you should not firm...

By G_d your right they have resurrected the 4.3 from the boneyard to underpower the 2007 WT 1500 silverado. Guess they figured it would be a hard sell to put the I5 in a full size truck. Looking at the specs. it would boggle the mind as to why you would choose the 4.3 over the 4.8 v8. 100 horsepowe...

Yeah, i'm going to ditch the cooler. A lot of the SBC's don't run them, and they're basically the same engine with two more cylinders, so i'm comfortable not running it (i can always hook it back up if i want to). Thanks for the advice on not running too much hose, I think i'm going to shoot to ins...

Well I think that the factory has answered that question. The new '07 base engine (4.3L) silverados/yukons/etc all come with electric fans.

But the E-fan has to be the answer if the factory finally sees the benefits of them then why argue here...Get er done - switch.

If it is easy to get at you might be able to use a large paper clip. Just unfold what you need to get at it. I used this when I changed o-rings in my fuel meter body after finding out that one side was missing them, ordered new and pulled all them out with paper clip and replaced. If you don't like ...

If I remember correctly I saw a photo on a site that showed most of the vacuum lines behind the glovebox. Just push on the metal loop at the top of the box and it will fall forward exposing the lines and connections. You should be able to go from there. I have read on other threads here about the tr...

Ok I will date my self. I used to read CarToons comics and there was a Hot Rod designer in California who did it before. But the car he built was called the Rat Fink. There were also some plastic scale models of custom cars out then too. Can we say around the 1960's.

Welcome to the site. I was just recently at the Central Washington State fair and one of the RV vendors had a trailer similar to yours for 17K with the popup built sideways onto the frame of the toy trailer. It was not removeable from what I could tell but it was probably larger (heavier) than your ...

I just recently 2wks ago replaced the lowers on my 2K Blazer.

Also check that the switch connector is oriented correctly, if the lines are not exactly on the way they're supposed to be then it will stop 4x4 engagement.

Yes. The South American market has had the Isuzu engine for quite a while. Same goes for the crew cab in that market. We are the last to get this stuff.

Maybe I am doing something wrong but, that link is not taking me to the proper thread. That is as "right" as it gets here. The CFM throttle blade is a blade with no diffuser.
