I did the mod with the idea of ... every little bit counts. Not sure if I saw much... would I say its worth it... can't really say... but as you can see from my list of things I did to the S10... every little thing counts. Check out www.sshotrods.com and look under performance stuff for the 4.3. One...

Steven

I wouldn't recommend one personally. I had one and saw no increase at all

Steven

It just makes the tranny shift HARDER. much harder,... I'd stay away from it unless your racing.

I like the Hpp3 better cause you can increase the shift firmness along with shift location. Rasing the rev limitor helps you keep each shift in max. torque longer.

Good luck

Steven

When I sold my S10, I pulled out the b&M Electronic shifter, I'll sell it to someone if your interested.

Thanks

I did flowmaster 50 on my s10 with custom cat back and was very pleased with it. Gibson is from what I read, ... makes more of their power in the lower RPM's... where flows make them higher. I was very very happy with the sound of the 50 and the power increase as well. Never looked back after the in...

Steven

Yeah I had it on my s10 for about 1-1/2 years and it worked just fine. I never ran it in "race" mode. With my new silverado., I'm running the hpp3 and feel that the B&M did a little better as far as firmness. And Now I have the option of race/tow mode built right in. I wouldn't be afraid to use the ...

Steven

put a 3-1/2" echo pipe on the end say 8"-12" long with a turn down. It will echo off the ground giving it a louder deeper sound.

The 40series should give you what your looking for.

Steven

Glad to see things worked out for you. I'm sure many others have had the same error code you've had. Just not as bad. I believe stongly that its the dealers that service you, not GM. IF you had a bad dealer, it could have taken a whole other turn.. for the worse. Hats off to you for your effort and ...

Steven

93 octane will not hurt your truck, but if you dont have some kind of chip or programmer, you wont be able to take full advantage of the higer octane. Before I had the chip, just to keep things clean, I'd run a tank of 93 octane every 2-3 tank fulls. It has a higher detonation than lower octane, and...

Steven

Roll your window down...to see the lines.... lol

Hey, you've got power mirrors,... use them...lol Personally I feel like my 03 silverado is only a hair harder to park than my crew cab was. It still turns pretty sharp I think.

Steven

Ya know,... I understand the SC will provide more power, and more torque,.. but truely ... for how long before having problems. AND with that said,... say it does perform well for the long haul... but pulling larger trailers, I'm sorry you can't beat a full size for safety. Longer/wider wheel base, ...

Steven

Cant go wrong with the 4.10 rear. You'll be much happier.

Steven

Good for you, looks like the dealer is willing to work with you.

Hope it works out.

Steven

I've got a 7 year old daughter, and a 5 year old boy. 2 German shepherds, 8 and 5 years old.

Steven

Sorry I missed this post earlier, I would have told you not to bother. I had one, and all I got was the whistle. No performance increase from what I could see, and no increase in milege per gallon. When I installed this mod, IT was the only mod at the time, so I could really see what difference it m...

Steven

Another issue is the MAF sensor could be dirty. I had the same issue with a blinking SES light under full throttle... pulling up hills. The light would go out as soon as I left off the gas, or upshifted to a higher gear. The cause is the oils from the K&N filter might have gotten on the sensor. Thus...

Steven

The mod's never end. We're always finding someway to better our rides. I can't tell you how many times I've told the wife, "this is the last one, I promise"... then there it goes again!..

.. I find something else I NEED..

Steven

I really can't remember what brand I bought, but it was the 75w90 and I want to say it was mobil full synthetic gear oil., but not positive. Sorry,... but any full synthetic oil will meet or exceed regular oils. My 03 Silverado has it already factory installed in the rear diff's. Now all I need to f...

Steven

well I've ran both, ... the tranny shifts smoother and quieter,.. and ran the rear differentials with synthetic too. I believe synthetics (full) is just a better lubricant and worth the extra protection. Sort of coats the metals, and you get less friction. If you plan on keeping your ride for a whil...

Steven

No you can not use them both together but you cant go wrong with either one. Both will give you nice gains but one will give you a lighter wallet

Steven

Oh I love this topic, with my truck the module didn't look like that. I had the Jet Stage 2 chip and I'd put it up to HPP3 anyday based on performance. If you look at the numbers (hp) Jet makes more power than Hpp3,... but If you want optional programing ie, shift points larger tires,... then Hpp3 i...

Steven

B&M Electronic shifter works real nice and I'd recommend it!. Makes a world of difference and installed in minutes.

Good luck

Steven

Steven

I got the can of miracle lube and tried it on my hinges. It goes on clear which is nice. The Fluid Film is a yellowish brown color. The miracle lube seems to be a bit thinner in consistency, with less fizz, for lack of a better term. I do like the cleaner apperance :D We'll see how it performs, Tha...

Steven

I'd do it if I were you, but have them put in full synthetic,... from then on, you should hardly ever have to touch it or worry about it. I'd feel safer if I were you and do it. It maybe a little early, but its better to be safe than sorry down the road.

Steven

Yeah, I guess I shouldn't be complaining....lol .... it still hurts though...lol

Steven

Hey hey,... Dont forget, I've got a soft cover for sale!!!!!! $75 bucks and its yours!!!!!

Still in new condition, just taking up space in my shed now.

Clamps and all

Good luck!

Steven

hell, I'm not paying any more for gas consumption as I was before. I'm getting just about the same milege per gallon as I did with my S10. AND I've got the 5.3 liter V8.

Just the larger tank hurts more to fill with prices. Around here, I'm paying between $1.49 to $1.67 depending on the week.

Steven

Powerdyne does not come with an intercooler. If you add one to the powerdyne setup, it will void their warrentee. If you go with Mach performance supercharger,... you get the intercooler. Big price difference... something to consider. He also adds the computer re-flash to maximize power gains. I'd s...

Steven

A different computer for the most part.... not much else at all worth mentioning.

Steven

oh oh oh .... I had one,... AND LOVED IT!!!!!! The construction, finish fit and look I think was one of the best. JMO I think it fit the CC perfect with the lines of the cab/bed and looked very factory installed.

www.4ARE.com

My old truck is there under customer trucks.

Good luck

Steven

I agree with Henry, I like the exhaust cat back system as well. Like him, I lost the wheel spin off the line till I added the cat system. Also I liked the Jet Stage 2 chip, worked real nice above 20 mph. I saw some nice power gains from 20 on. Also I've read,... tried but didn't fit.. headers.... (c...

Steven

Oh my... I love my Silverado... enjoy!

Steven

In Pa, there is a law that states, If's its not factory, its not legal. They don't enforce it much, but If you piss off an officer, they can use it. I know a guy personally that spent about $4000 bucks on a lift, suspension, and tires, and got lippy with an officer, .... Needless to say, He wrote hi...

Steven

Since I had on the larger (31x10.5) tires,... I never had wheel hop. With them.... Not once.

really will all the mods,... IF I mashed the pedel,... I would just light the tires up... I NEVER had wheel before the larger tires either.

Hope it helps you

Steven

Steven

I noticed no difference in ride difference. I installed them cause of the camper tongue weight. When I was hauling a 17' trailer, and the dogs,... I didnt have to much sag,... When I upgraded to the 19' trailer, the tongue weight was much more,... and I saw a noticable sag,... Added the springs and ...

Steven

Don't know if they will totally eliminate the sag, but will help alot. Unloaded with them all the way tight,... they will give the rear a little lift,... about 1" or so. They took all of 15 minutes to install them... They are real easy to do. If your looking for NO sag the, I'd get the upgraded vers...

Steven

I've had mine installed for 17,500 miles with no issues yet. I would recommend it personally. It definetly takes out the slackly girly shifts factory tranny provides. It has 3 settings, I used only the 1st setting,... the race setting shifts to hard for everyday use. I do believe that a shift "Kit" ...

Steven

I took the filter and Recleaned it, making sure this time I let it dry completely,.. before adding the oil,.... and then made sure I didnt over do it on the oil used.

good luck!

Steven

Ok, I think I can shed some light on this issue If I've read it right,... Your saying that the SES light is coming on/off,... thowing a P300 code. The code says "Miss fire on cylinders". The MAF could be the problem throwing the code. When your running a K&N filter, the oil from it can get onto the ...

Steven

yes, thats what I thought too

I needs Henrys advice,.... I wonder if my CFM throttle blade is causing the issue... egr gas's... something like that?...

Steven

Code 300 the dealer said, and it says "Missfire on all cylinders". The truck runs fine, and the flicker has only happened twice while climbing a long hill then went out. Could it be the Octane, I'm running 92 or better? Could it be Early detonation? What about Bad plug wires or spark plugs?... I'm r...

Steven

I know that on the 2001's theres an air induction tube that enters the exhaust manifold. Is that what your talking about, and I just dont know how they handle the boost verse vacuum. Not sure, but after talking to others, it works. I've been talking to my wife lately about the S/C... and now I'm won...

Steven

Thanks henry, the kit comes with a new Crane ignition box, so I'd be switching to the one that comes with the kit when I do it.

I'll also look into that book too. I want to be as educated as possible prior to doing anything.

Steven

I agree with Henry, The cat back is a good choice as well. But if a code throws on the truck, they can clam that the aftermarket exhaust could be the cause. I just had that happen this morning. I'm going to post a question in the NOS sections, please read and comment. But I was the one who posted th...

Steven

Yeah what he said....

Steven

Yeay what he said....

Steven

is it really worth it?. I mean do you really see deposits? I run my truck... not easy on the throttle....I dont have much "in-town" driving....

I was under the impression that the issue only comes into play when you do alot of intown driving... stop and go stuff.

Would it still be worth it?

Steven

well thanks for the input, but if you read on powerdynes web site, they will void the warrentee if you try to modify there setup in any way. Mach performance offers intercool setup, but powerdyne does not. Machs produces more power than powerdyne though... They say no intercooling needed with their ...

Steven

Ok well I've definetly desided on Powerdynes S/C kit. It comes with special designed headers that relocate the injection tube on the passenger side exhaust manifold. As for the clearance issue on the drivers side, and the steering column, it can be lowered enough to make it work. Sever guys on other...

Steven

Looks cool man!. Nice pic's. One of them should be nominated for pic of the month.

Steven

Hey, I'm running the jet s2 chip, and Like it alot. It doesnt give you the other options with trans shift points, speed limiter, but... I did notice a nice power difference with it. And it's about $100 bucks cheeper.

Steven

If you want some simple power at a medium cost, remove the clutch fan and replace it with an electric fan. Nice power difference, but with my truck, it didn't work (I got hot). Doesn't mean that yours wouldn't. I'm using the jet stage 2 chip, and temps are higher with high octane gas... Since I've u...

Steven

Well the mach performance pro-charger has the Intercooler below the fan shroud on the bottom. Real performance numbers vary some, but I'd expect to see about 270-280 hp total after the install with all the mod's I've already got. Yes mach is the way to go from what I've read, but If I don't have the...

Steven

I maybe in a position this summer to add a supercharger. I wish I would have done the reading I've done earlier. Powerdyne makes one for the 01-02's now that includes special headers for clearance issues. Looks like the cost will be around $3500 for that one. Also I've been reading about Mach perfor...

Steven

I've got them 1.25" spacer, and have checked them too for tightness. In my area though, they are "illegal". So when Inspection is due, I'll just take them off. :idea: Could you use locktite on the lugs, or would that be a bad thing? I've used locktite before on headers, stuff for the body lift,... b...

Steven

It does look cool, but I'm not planning on removing my front valance, so the one Henry has, works for me.

Thanks though

Steven

I'm 34 years old, and the kids are making me feel older and older by the day. My 4 year old really takes alot out of me at times.

Steven

Looks great stock too. The only thing I see you need is a Tonnaeu cover for X-Mas. And I'm just the person to sell you a really nice used one at a great discount price..... lol When I got my topper, I had a nice tarp, full frame, snaps and is in perfect condition. New they sell for $259 but I'll sel...

Steven

Mine was out too, just a little... and like henry I fixed it with the body lift. Doesn't sound as bad as his was... but still a little off.

Easy fix!

Steven

Wow man I understand what your going through. You just want piece of mind and get this behind you. If not, then the lemon law will maybe help you. Personally from what I've read so far, I feel the dealer really let you down. Seems like they tried, but just failed "Properly" diagnosing your problems....

Steven

I've got an ARE Z-Series cap. And I love it. Its got the insulated inside, roof rack and tilt in window for easy cleaning. Thats the best feature, you can clean the cab glass as well as the cap inside and out. Keeps the heat out cause I haul my dogs in it when we go camping. I've even got it at ARE ...

Steven

Mines Deflecta Sheild, and it was about $60. I like mine. It's worked well keeping the front from getting chipped, even up the hood has no chips yet. I'd recommend it, if you dont mind the black smoked color.

Steven

I've got the Flowmaster 50 series, and it has a nice low sound. No real cab noise, but outside it has a nice sound. 50 Series is a 3 chamber muffler. If your looking for a louder sound, still deep,... then 40 series is what you want. Its a 2 chamber muffler and sounds pretty good. I actually wish I ...

Steven

Here in pittsburgh area, there are alot of them. The dealer I bought mine from always seems to have 4 or more of them on the lot. I'm seeing them in color I didn't see before. Different reds, Dark blues, No blues like hobies, Tans, greens, yellow.

They seem to be pretty popular here.

Steven

Well, I believe the concept of the E-Ram is a good one, but does it work. Well they guarentee it. Am I ready to spend the money on it.... no... not till I heard someone else did and was happy with it. Even then, I'm not sure I would. Someday... down the road... If anything, I'd add a supercharger be...

Bushwacker does make cut outs for S10 Crew cab's. 99% sure I saw it. If you can't find the link, I'm sure I've got it at work saved on that computer.

I'd like to see a set of them on an S10

Steven

looks pretty sharp back there ,.... and expensive

Steven

Your cracking me up..... from what you typed, cost,.... and then buying the more expensive one's that you have to order.... lol Let me know what you think... when you get them installed. I'm actually having a similar problem myself deciding on which shocks to buy. But your anguish sounds worse than ...

Steven

Yeah, I'm sure they will fix it under warrenty. AZS10 is right. The dealer would have to prove that your duals caused it. And where did you get dauls at. I want some! I just have the single outlet, looks to much like factory.

I WANT DAULS TOO.

Steven

Who's got'em and do you like them. I've had several sets of them on other vehicles, and was thinking about getting some for my truck. On some of the vehicles I've had, they really obstructed the view to the left front. (at the piler). Wondering how bad they are with the S10. Now that you've had them...

Steven

Cool for you hobie. Sounds like's a nice cover.

Steven

Hobie, I see from that last pic, (sleeping in the bed).... You could use a bed cover. All that would hang out is your feet maybe....lol. That way you wouldn't have to worry about bad weather....lol :shock: or being cramped in the back seat. lol..... :roll: I just happen to know someone who has a cov...
