Didnt see it posted, but try replacing the compressor clutch relay. Over time the contacts deteriorate and the compressor clutch will lose voltage causing them to slip. Big problem with older ford clutches

T Man

Are the little flare extentions on the bumpers gone too? One of mine mysteriously disappeared

T Man

Ive got a set of 3.42 gears.

I have an open carrier as well, but it is for 26 spline axles

T Man

Valv. max life syn blend 5w30 and a Delco PH52 for every change in the last year (20k mi worth) for me. Im happy

T Man

The clicking sounds like a possilble CV failure on the right side

T Man

keep the dumbos on there, leave the sport mirrors to the bagged and dragged crowd

T Man

If im not mistaken those are either mitsubishi raider (new) or nissan decals correct?

T Man

any pics at all?

T Man

I had a thought. The new tahoes have remote start on the key fob. Are their BCMs reflashable to be able to work with the s10, but keep the remote start?

T Man

went to the u pull it yard the other day, cant beat 5 bucks for 4 centercaps

T Man

is the frame lengthined? It has to be if he has a longer bed on it right?

T Man

T Man

Henry, I didnt recieve centercaps for these wheels, so if anyone has any they want to give away, ill pay shipping.

T Man

After pricing ZR5 wheels on line out of curiousity, Ive decided to keep them in the garage this winter and throw on a set of stock 4wd aluminum wheels. Not wanting to be like every other 4wd s series out there I masked and painted them a gloss black to match the rest of the truck. A 99 cent can of s...

T Man

Ahhh, I was thinking you had a crew with manual windows

T Man

great, thats exactally what I was wanting. Thanks for the quick responses. Ive been looking for the zr2 height for my crew. Ive had several z trucks in my shop, and glancing over them I couldnt tell for the life of me what got the lift out of the front. THank you

T Man

Where does the front lift on the zr2's come from? I know the rear is from rear drop mouns for the leafs, but I cannot for the life of me figure out where the front lift comes from.

T Man

how bout some pics of the rear doors with manual windows?

T Man

If it hasn't been done yet pull and lube all caliper slide pins. Good advice! :thumb: On a side note, I am currently looking into making custom made stainless steel brake caliper slide pins for the S-Series and B-Body platforms. :D It will be some time though before they will available due to R&D, ...

Why are we worried about the dayem thing in the first place? *Steps up on soap box and cues cheesy motivation music* Because as evidenced on this site, we all must fiddle with something and cannot and WILLNOT leave well enough alone.

300? Sheesh, i nearly cried tears of joy when I hit 270 with the fuel light

T Man

Didnt have him do any work on it. Ill keep it in check from here on out

T Man

you arent crazy (thought id chime in late) I saw mine when I pulled my grille to run the wiring for my driving lights and saw it.

T Man

Watch the language-HJ

I took my truck into the dealer a couple of months ago to get the cables warrantied/recalled and the service writer said there wasnt a warranty/recall on them

T Man

nope, the boot is suposed to protect the shaft, but with my short experience with them, and friends who have run them for a while, the boot actually hods in moisture and rusts the shaft...if the cartrige side is down

T Man

Im not sayin leave it on by any means, but quick exposure isnt gonna require a touchup

T Man

Sorry, I was a little drunk last night, im not trying to get in the middle of this debate

T Man

You probably just forced fluid out of the resevoir when you collapsed the caliper pistons. Happens all the time if you add brake fluid between rotor or pad changes. Bleeder screws are on the backside of the caliper near the top. If your pedal is tight, then I doubt you have any air in the system......

T Man

A company makes the tornado dont they..............

T Man

normally when I get a brake light on after bleeidng the system, ill go to the opposite side of the system (i.e.front or back) crack the blleder and have someone press the petal till t he light goes out. close it up and its done. The brake light switch works by a piston sldign back and forth, tomorro...

T Man

thats what a red roloc wheel on a die grinder and some silver rattle can can do for ya. Thanks paulie

T Man

I recommend the flush everytime, at my shop it doubles my brake jobs warranty. You dont have to do it right now, but its one of those things that will never hurt it *EDIT* Never think of a brake job as a simple procedure. That makes you lazy, bad idea when you are working on something that could be ...

T Man

you cant look at the caliper slide pins without removing them

T Man

You crack the bleeders so as to not flush any accumulated junk in the caliper bores back into the ABS system. I had an excursion come into work that had a soft petal that felt and reacted EXACTALLY like a bad mastercylinder. I talked to the customer and he said he recently had brake service performe...

T Man

I dont believe it is a 6 disc changer on the right. I have the same one in my truck and it is a single disc, the 6 buttons underneath are for the radio presets

T Man

Like I said, I dont think it is a stupid mod by any strech of imagination (are free mods ever really stupid though?) Just for my application, its not something i really NEEDED. I wasnt sitting around tinking, dayum, i need to stiffen up my rearend (on the truck pervs). It came up, i snatched it, bad...

T Man

meh, instead of cutting fitting and such im just gonna save my pennies for some sort of a small stinger for up there

T Man

Its a total ricer mod. On something else, it may be necessary, but i put it on for appearance I disagree. The 7.5" hosing is notoriously flexy. Adding the proper load to those support studs, and just the support of that stiffer cover may prolong the life of the carrier bearing due to the retention ...

T Man

Its a total ricer mod. On something else, it may be necessary, but i put it on for appearance

T Man

Thats the sad thing........ive done the T bar crank, a body lift will keep that thing where its at, only waaay lower looking on the bumper, and I cant afford a big kid lift (SAS, f*** ifs)

T Man

I recently acquired a diff girdle from a buddy of mine (hes on here, but I dont know his SN, so thanks Paul) Was it necessary? Hardly, the highway doesnt exactally beat up the rearend, and my limited off road (kept to mild trailriding) isnt exactally a stresser much either, but it was free, and look...

T Man

It makes my truck look so damn.....2wd now though, thats my only prob. with it. They are lower than I would like, but with the lights slightly pointed outward they are EXCELENT ditch lights. High beams on, and lights on, its like driving during the day. I got a good deal with this, not only the ligh...

T Man

Im not sure what it is, where it is from, or what its supposed to be for. It was on a guy I work with's ZQ8 Sonoma, and I badgered him to sell it to me long enough he finally did. The brackets stuck it out from the truck about 1.5" more than I would have liked, so I cut those down, and then had to d...

T Man

Took some fairly major modification to make it fit as it was designed for a 2wd s10, but its in, and bolted in all snug. Strong enough I can jack on it and pick up the front of the truck. http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/11/web/731000-731999/731566_74_full.jpg http://memimage.cardomain.ne...

Ok, ill bite, it is a blazer kit, but what exactally is the difference?

T Man

A buddy of mine has a used trailmaster 5" lift with almost all the parts. I was gonna replace the hardware with new etc. My questions are: my friend ate up balljoints. Similar experiences? Bad Idea, good Idea? BTW, hes asking 200, so the price is right

T Man

ok.. Run a sanden. I think Suicidedoors.com probably has a bolt in kit.

T Man

Why not run an engine driven or a viar like the bagged guys? Boom, on board air.

T Man

any pics of your install?

T Man

Right on. This just a plug and play kind of deal? Wiring harness in the column already? Any other things I need to know before I start pulling at the salvage yard?

T Man

So, as I have picked up on here, we have the same wiring harness as the Blazers do. I was in an 02 Xtreme the other day and it had the radio control buttons/paddles on the wheel. This got me curious and lead me to the wiring diagrams on Mitchell. It appears that the blazers have 3 or 4 extra clock s...

T Man

I dont know if it didnt get posted, or got deleted, but I replied. Here it goes again I used to leave the hub nut on to protect the threds, but I also used a ballpeen deadblow to do that. I made one expensive boo boo, then decided the $100 Snap On plastic face 24oz deadblow would be a cheeper altern...

T Man

Ive found a soft face 24 oz deadblow on the cv shaft usually does the trick once the hub bolts are removed

T Man

What about Silicon brake grease? This is what I have used on smaller hoses (i.e. vacuum lines etc.)at work, no rad hoses though

T Man

amp draw of the fuel pump is a big one. Ive seen bad pumps come through my shop that would make and hold pressure, but had incredibly high draw. To test, an inductive pickup dvom, or dmm and a jumper wire with a blade type fuse are needed. Remove stock fuse, and insert jumper wire. (The one I have a...

T Man

I didnt expect anything. I broke it trying to just see how easily it popped out. Ive already got the K&N and the cut airbox.

Im very pessimistic when it comes to mods, especially free ones.

T Man

you shouldnt have to, warranty that

T Man

Was it worth the time and effort? I cleaned my maf today and decided to pop the screen out just to see what happens. I did the TB plate mod at the same time, and I dont really know what im feeling most? I know the smooth idle is because of the clean MAF, and from others experience I know that the TB...

or you could (and probably should) be running them on a relay. Two small gauge wires under the dash, heavier under the hood
