Also, The ZR2 axle has a bigger pumpkin (to hold the bigger gears). It would stand to reason that the pinion/yoke would be further forward and swaping this axle in place of a 7.5/7.6 would mandate a shorter driveshaft. Was this the case for any of you or could you just swap it in?

Steventruck

When you guys swap over the ZR2 rear axle, do you add the ZR2 panhard bar/track bar too?

The sound is normal. bouncing the corners is the tried and true way to test.

If you have any fluid leaking out (if the shock bodies look wet or greasy), your shocks are bad.

My ZR2 is doing this too. I first assumed that it was the front axle actuator, so I swaped in the Bravada 1-piece axle shaft and tube. Also inspected front drive shaft and U-joint, all is good. Problem still exists... so I figured maybe it was the front ring/pinion jumping teeth, so I re-installed t...

I use a turnbuckle and several quicklinks to tie down the left side of the motor. I pretty much went from the frame above the LF shock mount to the engine lifting loop. I did this originally when my stock mounts were on their way out and it held the motor down. Shortly thereafter, I had the broken m...

In a mess? My truck work just fine. So does my wife's Blazer. I was only suggesting that you could try a different BCM. The Security feature I have already discussed. If the tow/haul mode doesn't work after the swap, or you lose any of your stock features, then swap back. When I swapped BCMs in my Z...

You could try swaping in the BCM from the donor vehicle. I had forgotten that I had previously swapped BCMs so she could have factory fog lights. I believe, however, that the shift tables and stuff are in the PCM. A BCM swap is plug-n-play. The biggest thing is that you will have to get it to recogn...

All of the S10 clusters are the same. You do have the tow/haul light in your cluster. If you take a really bright flashlight and shine it at your cluster, you should see it. It will be on the left side at the top, next to the SHIFT light (which also probably doesn't operate on the crewcabs). I tried...

Back to the original question, My wife's 2000 ZR2 Blazer has the tow/haul mode already programmed into it. To be clear, this Blazer did NOT have it as an option. I was swapping the good battery from her Blazer in the her Impala SS which had a discharged RedTop Optima so she could get to work. So the...

FYI Summit Racing can do custom wheels. I know that my suspension and inner fenders are slightly different than that of the CC (I have a ZR2), But the stock wheels are the same (15"x 7" with 6" of back spacing). I wanted black steel wheel that woud fit and not kill the ball joints and hub bearings. ...

My ZR2 frame is boxed. The lift comes from lowered mounting points for the suspension. The front diff/axle housing is dropped, along with the lower A arm mounting points. The A arms are longer as are the CV axles. The spindles are different. The front mounting points for the rear leafs are 3" lower....

I disconnected the front U-bolt and was able to turn the shaft easily (so the transfer case is okay).

I'm beginning to think this truck is possessed!

I was my way to go hunting Saturday morning so we packed up the truck and hit the road at 4:30am. Twenty minutes later, we were cruising along at 60mph on a paved state highway with everything sounding and feeling normal. Then, all of a sudden, there was a bang, followed by vibration and metal-to-me...

I have replaced the pin/bushing on mine but it was bad for too long... the holes in the hinge got worn/elongated. Is the hinge replacable or is it welded to the door?

Steventruck

Adding more weight has nothing to do with shocks. You just need to crank the T-bars to compensate for the weight. Shocks only control dampening (as mentioned above, rebound control).

Thaose are LED taillights. The sub-par-ness comes from sticking and directional 3157 into a stock capsule. The normal incandessant lamp utilizes the reflector, the LED doesn't. These have like 30 LEDs in them. I think it would look that the back of an Acura.

Wow. Those look nice. I don't like the bubble look that a lot of companies have gone with. These are really clean. Too bad they are $200.

I use high temp black RTV for the rear end gasket. 1 tube goes a long way... you could probably do 20 rear end gaskets with it. If you are careful, you can even not do the area inboard of the axle lubing holes so your outer axle bearings will get lubed. The same stuff will also work as a water pump ...

So do I need to completely remove and disassemble the front end to get that shaft out or is there a trick? I registered at TXZR2 but I guess I have to wait for an administrator to review the account.

I have had a recent problem with my right inner CV boot coming unclamped on the big end. New CV clamps and hose clamps are not working to hold it. I will need to replace this CV axle soon because I don't want the old one to fail and leave me stranded. At the same time I do this, I will also replace ...

Another thing to consider is speeding enforcement. EZpass knows exactly what time you passed one point, and exactly what time you passed another point.

I am probably approaching this differently than you crew cab guys since my truck is a ZR2 and already came with under armor. I am in the process of beefing it up though. My truck ('99 truck) came with all carbon fiber (or fiber reinforced plastic) front, engine, and transfer case plates and a steel ...

in regards to the clusters and light bulbs...

My truck, a 99 ZR2 reg cab pick up with manual tranny has a CHECK 4WD light. and all of the lights are LEDs and are there (except hi beam and turn indicators are regular lights). I think the CHECK 4WD is only used on the auto 4WD equiped models.

Good luck wiring the RSA to a dvd player. I have RSA isntalled in both of my B-bodies (Impala SS/9C1 and Caprice Wagon). The buttons don't have individual wires.

So I found out that the tool I needed was the Tie rod fork. I was using the ball joint fork without success. It popped right off with the tie rod fork.

Then why did you get a truck if you don't need 4WD? I suppose if you needed the open bed.

Looks like the standard lamp in 27w GE 880. Is there a high wattage number, like 885 perhaps?
