That's what I was wondering. Is it a bolt in to replace the 4wd front end suspension with 2wd components? Will 2wd components bolt on to the existing frame? If they do and I take out my transfer case do I need a custom driveshaft or a extended cab driveshaft? Just curious if anyone has done somethin...

I understand the difficulty of moving everything to a different frame. What components would need to be replaced on the front suspension? What about the transfer case? I'm just brain-storming to see what all would be involved. 95% of my driving is on the highway, but I love the room that the truck h...

2WD S10 CrewCab

Hey, I know that Chevy didn't make a 2WD Crew Cab, but what if someone wanted to. I was thinking about a project for one of these days about taking my 2001 crew cab body and placing it on a 2wd frame. Is this do-able?? What frame would I use Extended cab frame? How much trouble would it be? I think ...

My grill has shifted over to the left about 3 inches, the lower grill is busted and the left side of my bumper is pushed back into the wheel well about 3 inches and the bumper trim is popped off a little. The chrome part of the grill in...

Smoke from passenger side around transmission dipstick

Hello. I have been having a problem sometimes when I drive my truck. I have a 2001 S10 crew cab and occasionally when I drive it I will come to a red light or park it when I get home and smoke will come out from under the hood. I have opened the hood and it appears to be coming from around the trans...

Thanks for all of the replys.....I think I will start with a transmission fluid and filter change and go from there. I know it is probably due for one anyway.

Transmission slipping or engine surging

I have a 2001 crew cab and have been experiencing some transmission slippage or engine surging around 50 - 60 mph. It seems to shift through the gears correctly, but sometimes it acts like it is slipping out of gear and my rpms go up about 200 - 400 rpms. Is my transmission bad? Or something else. I...

That's a good idea. I just placed the crowbar between 2 studs and braced it on the shop floor, but I like your idea better. I will have to remember that next time. Thanks.

You need a 36mm deep socket for the nut on the axle with a break-over bar. I also used a 18mm socket to get the bolts off for the capilar and the 3 bolts that hold the wheel bearing on. You will also need a 13mm socket and wrench, a 10 mm socket for the bolts that hold the ABS cable on. Some people ...

I just changed my first one this past weekend on the right side.....wasn't too difficult once I found the right tools I needed. The next one will go easier now that I know what to do. My truck has 81,000 miles on it.
