Not a problem...

Added strength really isn't necessary, IMO. It'd be more of a waste of rocker clearance to rotate them downward. Provided the sliders are built right, you'll bend your frame before you bend the sliders.

Jigg

Chris no longer has the prints for the crew cab sliders, but said he'd be more than happy to make a set to your specifications. You'd have to come up with a print for what you want for him to make them from though.

A good start for you would be to use the frame blueprints:

S-Series Rock Sliders

You'll never bend them. You can (and people have) rest the entire weight of your truck on them without them breaking a sweat.

I'm not sure if Chris still has the crewcab template... i'll shoot him an email and see for ya.

But I don't see any huge gains in doing that. Eliminating the accordion section is what gains the most when installing an intake on our trucks. I'm sure it could be done without replacing the intake hat, but the K&N and AEM intakes merge the intake hat and accordian section into one piece... so in ...

Jigg

Not a big deal at all... i've done the same thing. I paid literally twice as much for my power window motor at autozone because i needed it asap, when i could've gotten it through my distributor.

Having done it before, it takes me about 1/2 hour per side. I'd figure like an hour if you've never done it. A ratcheting 18mm (i think, might be 17mm) wrench helps a LOT for getting the bearing unbolted. Also, you'll need a deep 36mm socket to take off the axle nut.

I'm a moron. Joke's on me.

HJ, do you have the link to where the guys said the underside was cracking and making a mess? I read a few reviews saying it was crackling (i.e. noisy), but none that said it was actually coming apart.

Got it installed today. Still need to mess around with it a bit, but it'll work just fine for now, since i'm not driving the BlaZeR2 until April

Will do. I might just replace them off the bat with bungee cords. For the rear, i'll probably sew in a couple of loops on the back of the hinged part so i can run a loop back underneath the seat.

Got mine in today. First impressions are very positive. We'll see how they hang in there. They do seem very well made though.

Jigg

Yes Sir.

I'll probably just extend the velcro or whatever's used underneath. I'd anticipated having to do some modifying to the cover, since it's made for a jeep.

Jigg

I'm not Brule (obviously)... but i'm going to cut out an opening and stitch it tight. That, or i might just cut it out and use fabric glue to hold the seam back underneath.

I can get them, looks like $99.95 ea.

Yeah, that's not really enough water to warrant a snorkle. Like Brule said, enter a bit slower, and follow the wake. My last blazer (with an AEM intake), went through this with no problems:

Jigg

Good to know guys... so a rough ride (rather than a boat-like ride) can be indicative of bad shocks?

Jigg

It's a great thought, but it hasn't happened during previous winters...

I have to do a ton of work to the front end this weekend anyways, so i'll just pull one of the shocks out and have a look. Thanks for the feedback guys!

Jigg

So recently, my truck's been riding a bit harsher than normal. I figured at first it was because of too much air in the tires, so i went from 35psi to 31psi. Didn't help. I have the stock Bilsteins with 136k on them in the front, and air shocks in the rear. The rear was always somewhat stiff, as i u...

You'd probably want to reverse that... 3" rear, 1.5" front.

yeah it's gregg6688 from ZR2USA. He bought it off of ebay, where the entire build was pretty well documented.

Fixed mine a week or so ago with this.

Jigg

There isn't a difference in the front doors. Blazer, S10, Crewcab, Ext Cab... they're all the same. They might have different trim levels, but the door itself is the same.

Jigg

RS5000's are notoriously stiff, espescially for a lighter rig like yours. Bilsteins or bust!

Jigg

yeah... i don't see how that's possible.

If that were the case, they'd be more purple towards the base of the window... and the very back window woudln't turn purple at all.

Jigg

From what i've been told, the purple is from people washing the tint with an ammonia based product (like windex)... it messes up the tint.

Stock alternator with fans running I think you will find a voltage drop with the AC on. That means slower fan speeds and eventually heating problems.

Mine are tinted at 35% in the front (which comes out to 28% after the factory tint). I had 15% before, which is very close to stock, but I got pulled over and had to remove it. The 35% is noticably lighter, but it's WAAAAAAY better than having them stock, no comparison. Stock: http://img.photobucket...

Thanks guys. Any idea on the MSD pulley moving the belt out a bit... it doesn't really look like a big deal, but i'd rather not shred the new belt.

Brule was not being rude. He was simply suggesting that there are many in depth discussions on the topic, some that even go into the material properties of the alloys used. It's a pretty commonly discussed topic, and a lot of us feel very comfortable using wheel adapters. I, for one, have a set of 1...

Jigg

Aaaand... turns out the March pulleys are actually 1.65", I must've been mistaken on the 1.875". So the MSD pulley did absolutely nothing in my favor (aside from look really cool). It did push the belt out about 3/16"... is that a big deal? It just looked like the belt was running on a slightly diff...

I definitely should've researched the alt a bit more before buying... doh!

Jigg

Will do! I doubt i would have needed the pulley if it weren't for my March Pulleys (the alternator came with a stock sized pulley on it), but we'll see. I really have no issues going to a different alternator if it means being able to keep the pulleys, as they make a definite difference in the truck...

Jigg

Thanks for all of your help Brule!!!! I ordered it, sometimes it pays to be an MSD vendor :lol: The truck doesn't see much dirt lately, and probably won't for quite awhile... but i'll definitely keep an eye on it. Thanks for the heads up! As far as slippage goes... I'm just going to cross my fingers...

Jigg

Any thoughts on a pulley like this?

My pulley is a 1.875"... this one's a 1.650"... I'd think it'd bring the alternator speed up just enough to produce adequate power again at idle.

Jigg

I guess what i'm not getting is that countless people have installed the March Pulleys with the stock alternator with no noticable power loss... what's the difference between stock and an upgraded alt that would cause it to lag at 800 rpms?

Jigg

Thanks Brule! Any other option than going back to the stock crank pulley?

To be quite honest, i'd rather keep the pulleys than the alternator... I'd try another alternator if it'd work better.

Jigg

So i just installed a set of March Pulleys and this 200a alternator. It quotes 75 amps at idle, but the meter drops down to like 11V at normal idle. This is with headlights and stereo on... no other accessories. I did add a 4ga wire from the alt to the battery... would adding a 4ga ground be necessa...

Jigg

Quick question... would dual compressors and a larger tank than the one in the link(MOAB Jeeper test and onboard system) be necessary if i wanted to run some smaller air tools (nothing crazy, a cutoff tool, ratchet, etc)?

Jigg

Wow, thanks for saving me the trouble!!!

I'll probably just buy a low mileage shaft off of s10warehouse. And if it's not that much of a difference, i'll probably just get a stock box again.

Thanks for the help guys!!! I really really appreciate it.

Jigg

Yeah, i'm going to have to do that. Maybe i can get a buddy at work to help me out. I have a spare idler and pitman arm sitting in the closet, so if it's one of those two i'll be fine. I'm getting a bit of vibration as well, but i have a feeling that's because my MT's are starting to wear down now. ...

Jigg

Centering pins are good.

Right now, i'm leaning towards replacing the intermediate shaft/steering box/pitman arm all at once and see where that gets me.... ugh.

A few other symptoms as well (which is why i thought it might be the steering box): -The steering wheel has a clicking feeling when i turn it 1" or so either way. -I get a couple quick clunks when i have the wheel turned all the way to the right and turning slowly (the wheel's cocked to the right). ...

If you're looking to reduce sway and you have air shocks, install a valve to seperate the shocks, otherwise, as one compresses, it pushes the other one out more... and induces more sway.
