Interesting development. Hate to hear you are having a crank re-learn problem. I've heard of a few of those, but they seem rare....Do you know anyone with EFILive?

Just FYI, the Xtreme and the ZQ8 trucks use the same 16x8 wheels. :D :D Also the above picture is of the "new style" Xtreme wheels, there are some "early style" Xtreme wheels still floating around, that are simply grey in the middle instead of polished.

In other thoughts, I can't find a 31x9.50 anywhere else

31x9.5x15's @ 4wheelparts.com

They are a ways down, but the elusive 31x9.50's that I've been looking for can be found there....I'm looking for some slightly less aggressive ones now that I know that size exists for sure

You guys have it easy so far it sounds.

I've replaced the straps on my Xtreme 4 times now since I bought it in Late '99 as an early '00 model.

I've come to think of it as a regular maintenance item.

Longer = quieter.......I've got a 14" on my 4cyl, and my roomate has a 14" on his 4.3/Auto Xtreme. He has what is quite possibly the best sounding S10 I've heard. Nice and mellow until he hits the loud pedal, then it's nice and strong.

I'm a HUGE fan of magnaflows on S10's. I intend to put one on the crew in the near future. I'll be ordering the muffler from www.hottexhaust.com in a 14" length with single 2.5" in and out.

Any chance you can throw some side pictures, and a rear end shot up as well?

I'm teetering on the edge of wanting a BL, and can't decide.

At any rate, thats a nice looking truck. Not sure how I feel about the ZR5 wheels when compared to the stock ZR2's, however they aren't bad, just different.

I'm with Ace....I've had airshocks on the Xtreme for several years now. It's allowed me to keep a TON of usability with the high amount of drop I'm running.

I don't frequent it enough to get a beater....however that would be the best bet for getting around once there.

Very cool of him to send some PCM pins for you to use as well.

This might be a stupid question, but i'm going to ask it anyways... why not just get a B&M electronic shift+?

Decent idea, but not real practical, heres why. If the PCM, and the BCM don't talk to each other your truck will go nowhere.
