Nasta ( brand name ones not the private label ones knock off ones the use carbon steel brackets) are some of the better ones. They use stainless bars AND mounting brackets and bolts. Carbon steel brackets promote corrosion.

Bummer if they were for a extended cab I would snatch them up!

I'll have to post some pics but I traded my cc for a silverado CC z71. I did some research and found the 2005 silverado cc was shorter than the other years including the new ones. So I tried it in my garage and it fit!!! It's looks just like my s10 but on steroids. It's red with the black fender fl...

Sad to lose a s-series member, but glad you are happy. Some things to watch for: The instrument cluster is a problem. Speedometer erratic or complete failure are covered by an extended mileage special policy. GM will cover the repairs up to seven years or 70k. O2 sensors are gone by 100k miles. The...

vent visors maybe. no to the hard cover. It was on the crew when I bought it. I rarely had it on except for when we went on vacation. I will get a soft access limited cover probably.

Wrangler

I would like to thank everyone for the great info provided on this site. In the year I had my crew this site provided alot of info to fix issues with my crew. I traded it in on Wednesday for a 2003 Sierra extended cab. After owning a new 2004 Sierra Extended cab downgrading to a crew was alittle pai...

I need to replace the one axle seal so I can get my truck inspected. After replacing the rear brakes today I noticed the right rear axle seal is leaking. I havent messed with that kind of thing since high school. The service manual has drawings that show nothing useful. Can anyone remind me what I h...

Wrangler

Replacing the brakes on a crew is pretty easy and straight forward. Just make sure to get grease for the slide pins. No special tools are needed just a wrench (forget what sizes) and a clamp. Rotors pop right off the 4WD s10. The seach function here can probably direct you to more detailed threads o...

S-10's aren't the best in the snow but they aren't the worst either. My 2004 Sierra with limited slip walked through every snow we got in 2 wheel drive. It was actually no fun in parking lots. LOL I love Michelin LTX M/S. I have had them on a few trucks and currently have them on my S-10. They are f...

Wrangler

Remember to take in to consideration the sub movement. My MTX box was tight to the back of the seat without cutting the extra metal right under the window ( just enough to get the box in). 3 1/2 inches at the top of the sub plus box material thickness will be pushing it I think without some type of ...

Wrangler

Yup but I doubt it will be that noticeable. Being that it had already had a 5400rpm drive. Hope it doesn't kill the battery any faster as it doesn't last long now. LOL

I killed the drive in my Acer last night. It was acting up and I hit it and that was it. Warranty authorization seemed easy enough.

I traded in a mint 2004 Sierra with 32,000 miles in on this 2003 s-10 that had 64,000 The first time I changed my oil in my s-10 there was a nice piece of metal stuck to mine. I was freaking and felt sick considering what I had and what I got. My s-10 has an annoying rattle from about 1,500 rpms to ...

I sent it back today. Since he claims "100% customer satisfaction" I'm hoping that they refund my shipping cost. I believe that means he will tune it till your happy, not pay shipping. I wonder why some work great and others don't. Maybe it has to do with the cores he gets. maybe some are defective...

none to report for mine yet. i went on vacation last week, so my truck didnt get driven much then. probably be about 2-3 more days before i fill up again. at 200-220 miles per tank, you must drive like me, mostly short trips, in-town driving, lots of idling. or perhaps you pull a trailer quite a bi...

Thats normal for me but then again my gas guage doesn't work right. At 200-220 miles I am normally filling my tank.

any changes in gas mileage?

Wait tunes are very popular on gmtrucks.com and have been around a few years. I was gonna get one before I sold my full size. There seemed to be a rivalary over there betwwen the $159 wait for me tune and the Westers tune for $800 (?).

I think the stock suspension is mushy. I really would like to do something to make it ride stiffer and raise the back up as mine sags.

Wrangler

when should I drop mine off?????

Wrangler

A popular but cheap performance upgrade over at gm-trucks.com. I was seriously considering one of these if I kept my 2004 Sierra. Drive by wire really let GM kill the performance of that truck off the line.

Wrangler

Alright people, what did y'all do as far as mounting the amps? Did you drill right through the rear wall of the cab? I was looking back there, but it seems to only be single thickness unless I remove the upper plastic panel. If I use sheet metal screws will I get water inside?? :shock: Double wall ...

Wrangler

IMO amped subs help fill in the low end that the stock stereo lacks. The Kenwood I had was nice but I like bass. The MTX thunderform and kicker amp gave me that. I am very happy with my stereo setup now even though I miss the extra storage.

How far back do the bench seats recline? My middle console is pretty loose and rattles alot. I like the 60/40 bench seats like my Sonoma had but cant remember how far they go back. I like to sleep in my truck when I get to work too early.

I am interested in the 4 windows mod lol

Wrangler

He said he can't turn them either. Too much rust. Can't turn them because of too much rust or because they are worn past the minimum thickness? :?: Steve The garage I worked at in high school wouldn't turn them if they were really rusty. As cheap as they are I wouldnt waste time or money turning them

Wrangler

Maybe I come on a little harsh about the Helm manual and need to clear that up. It is definitely better than the Haynes or Chiltons. It just seems to assume you know how to do many of the procedures and know where most of the components are located. You are not harsh. It is written for the GM train...

I've been using Duralast Gold's from Autozone. They seem to be rather good. I just put these on mine tonight. Looks like the pads were replaced right before they traded it in.

Now with such a tight fit with these boxes and thunderforms, When the speaker "hits" is there a problem with the articulation of the speaker. Does it hit the back of the seat and distort it.

Well I finally got my sub, amp and deck installed. For whatever reason my seat wouldn't latch like ZR5OnIts could. :cry: I had to relief cut the sheet metal around it to allow it to go back to latch the seat.

Where do you get the grease? Now that the weather is warming up I want to fix mine. It looks like it lost alot of grease so I am just planning on adding it. I checked at a few part stores in the grease area and didnt see anything for the cv joints.

Wrangler

I have an ARE hard cover. It was on the truck when I bought it. It was water tight before I removed it. I guess I need to replace the tape. It covers the bed rail holes and covers the tailgate to make storing stuff in there secure.

Wrangler

To be honest, I dont really know. Never really looked into it. I dont even think I've seen one... How big is it? From what I remember with the mounting kit, it's all one big peice. The bottom part is a small storage place, but I've never used it. It's gotta be maybe 1 inch to 1.5 inches wide? The i...

Depends on what your taste is. I really don't like the "boomy" reverberational base of the bazookas or other ported bass. My favorite is the tight sound of "aucustic suspension" speakers, but the efficiency is really bad, cause it takes allot of power to drive these type of great sounding speakers....

any part numbers on the hvac controls that need replaced mine only blow from the front vents. Hard to defrost a windshield from those vents. LOL This truck is gonena nickel and dime me to death compared to my 1995 Sonoma.

Wrangler

Mines does it and I don't have the roof rack. My 2004 Sierra was even worse. I couldnt drive with the drivers side window down at all my ears would start to ache. With the crew I only have to deal with the rumbling noise and wait for the back window to pop out. LOL

Wrangler

thanks!!

Did you ever have time to measure your box yet?

Wrangler

Is that the only difference, the seats material and the cloth strip on the door panel or is the interior plastic a different color, gray instead of black.

Building your own box aint that hard really. Takes a few hours to complete it. Just find a sub with a small mounting depth and you can easily fit a 10" sub.

Has anyone tried getting one of these behind the seat in the crew cab yet? By the stock measurements it doesn't seem like it will fit. I am getting very bored with the crappy stock stereo and ain't really into figuring out and building a custom box anymore.

Yeah, I already read those but they were general info about the changes. I am wondering if I change seats will it look odd. I was wondering of the '01-'02 had a totally lighter interior then the '03-'04's or was it just the door panel fabric and seats different. I dont want to spend the time and mon...

the one that is leaking is a triple crimp. Damn those prices are dirt cheap. I paid between $70 and a $100 for the one I replaced on my Sonoma from the dealship a few years ago. Of course I had alittle choice since I needed the line yesterday when it already blew apart. LOL

Wrangler

Is the interior a totally different (color) in the '02 then '03's? Or is it just the seats and maybe door panels that are different?
