fillup and trip computer

does anybody know how to get the trip computer back to normal. My wife filled up the truck and didn't reset the scangauge, then several days later filled the truck up again, then reset it. So now it thinks that it got twice the mileage out of one tank of gas. So now everything is out of whack with t...

Thanks for the extra info, kinda helps me understand a little more what they are for. Most of the tuning sites didn't explain it very well, they acted like you should already know what it all means. Most of my wrenching is done on cars from the 50's and 60's, not very much computer fiddling on them ...

I got my Scangauge II about a week ago but haven't had much time to play with it. Can anybody tell me what the short and long term fuel trim would be telling me, also the O2 sensor. What would be the purpose of monitoring them. Also can anybody confirm that the Barometer V6 does not work, I cannot ...

I have got 1.5" Daystar greasable shackles in the rear and a Tbar crank in the front to even it out, My stock ZR5 flares have been removed, didn't like how they mounted down...

Well I have been searching for a while and alot of people seem to have spacers or 33x9.50 tires, less backspacing or all three. I hadn't found anybody with factory wheels looking for a 31x10.50 fitment guide, no matter how i would word the search. Thanks for the suggestions from everyone it kinda co...

Well, my shop guy won't build up my turning stops a little, I guess he thinks he would be liable if something were to happen. He also won't put on the 31's with them rubbing the frame when I turn the wheel all the way. He did say if I could find somebody to build up the stops a little to prevent the...

I just had my tire guy try to test fit some 31x10.50 R15 mud tires on my stock ZR5 wheels, and I didn't rub on the fenders at all, but frame rub was pretty bad and he thought it was to much and didn't recommend it. Should I go with the 31's and see if he would build up my stops a little or stick wit...

Thanks for the info, that makes a lot of sense. I didn't even think about the metal washers wearing the Aluminum skid plates. I notice it says to get 3 self taping bolts for the transfer case plate, do you know what size would work the best?

Thanks, Ron

Thanks, for letting me know the order, I kept studying the picture but it looked like a lock washer and I didn't see anything that looked like the spring washer. What is the purpose of the spring washer anyway? When I ordered the parts they said that Part Number 11609234 replaces 1565096 , when I re...

Do you have any idea where in the mix the spring washers go? I'm not even sure what their purpose is.

installing shields?

I have finally managed to get the rest of my shield package together, but I have no clue what order the bolts and washers go on. If somebody could let me know that would be great. Also when I ordered the parts the plastic washers have a new part number and when I recieved them they are now metal was...

Frame bushings

How did you get the bushing out on the frame but leave the outer metal sleeve? did you have to use a torch or what?

Front Shield

Finally got a picture of my front shield taken. I found it laying in a pile of scrap metal at the salvage yard. I asked the guy at the yard if he had any more shields, and he said they usually just throw them away and I was lucky to find that one. http://www.s-10crewcab.com/coppermine/albums/userpic...

Got my new tires - Pics

Well I got my new tires on and now discovered that I do need a Lift. Even with trimming the stock fender flares, I still rub pretty bad when the suspension compresses. The tires are 30x9.50 R15's.

Correct Fuel Skid Shield?

Found this at the salvage yard and was hoping it was the right one. If it is, what do I do with the front support bar? I'm not sure where it is supposed to bolt up. It should look much better once I get it cleaned up a bit. http://www.s-10crewcab.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10123/normal_CIMG0715%...

Thanks for the info on the T-Case shield, The one I have is more squared on the end. I wasn't sure if I could get it to work or if I should keep looking.

T-case Skid plate?

Well I bought me an 02 Crew Cab ZR5 about 3 weeks ago and I'm already looking to modify it. I was wandering if anybody had any pics of an Aluminum T-case shield so I know what I am looking for. Most of the Salvage yards around here throw away the shields and I've had to dig through piles of scrap me...
