Went with nylon lines. Hell of a lot easier and they will never rust. Plus a new tank, this diff will out last the truck. Cab corners are gone and bed is going.

Lil-j

http://m.ebay.com/itm/231390017290?cmd=VIDESC Found this two weeks ago. Ordered one and got it in today. I'll let ya know how it is. I will say that from the time I ordered mine till the time I'm Seeing the auction posted this time, the jumped $30. I ordered mine for $329. Now he's selling them for ...

Lil-j

Yes, no crewcab lines.

Lil-j

Also, the first post mentions that the OP replaced the fuel lines. I'm in the same boat, I need new metal lines and can't find them. The ones that run on the left frame rail.

Lil-j

Older thread I know but I'd like to add that a bad ignition coil can give all those symptoms from crews10's post from 25 June fit what happened to my truck last year. I found the coil was bad by accident, went to throttle the engine up by hand and got zapped by the spark jumping the coil wire to the...

Lil-j

Does anyone know where to get replacement fuel lines for the steel tank crewcabs?

Lil-j

Good news and bad news time. Good news is I don't need a new fuel pump. And I figured out why the engine is running lean and causing a bunch of other problems. Bad news is I still need to drop the tank.... To replace fuel lines. All the metal lines need replaced. They started leaking enough to give ...

Lil-j

Ok, update time. Last night I borrowed a scan tool from work to do the crank re learn. Things didn't go so well. I'm guessing the my cat is clogged. The first part of the re learn is to rev to WOT till you hit fuel cut off. Problem is I could only get up to about 3200 rpm's. Exhaust smelled shitty, ...

Lil-j

Also, when I replaced the cap and rotor and got her running. The rotor was hitting the cap, making a very audible noise. I got bwd parts. Ended up replacing these with AC delco parts, no more noise.

Lil-j

Trucks fixed. Ended up being the ignition coil. I overlooked it because after replacing the crank sensor, I had spark from the coil, but none at the plugs. However a spark gap tester showed the coil was indeed bad. Ended up replacing the cap, rotor, wires, coil and crank sensor. Now I need to do the...

Lil-j

Checked the Schrader valve, got a squirt every time. Not sure how much pressure there is, don't have a gauge at home. Went to pull the cap, decided to pull the wires off. First one pulled, the one nearest the firewall on the driver side, the wire separated from the connector into the cap. So looks l...

Lil-j

I should ad that I had a maf code once, each of the last two weeks. Have the maf out and cleaning it now. Funny thing is usually when the maf is bad mpg goes to hell. I've been getting 18-19 mpg lately. Or is it possibly ignition coil? I don't know, odd how the engine just shut off like that. All fl...

Lil-j

Help, I was going to work this am. Going 75 down the interstate, foot on the gas. Engine just shut off. I felt a little shudder as you would when you turn the key off. I pushed the gas and got nothing. Tach and oil pressure gauges went to zero. Battery gauge was how it would let on engine off. I hit...

Lil-j

Ok, so better off just replacing the compressor then. Any recommendations?

Lil-j

I would either delco or denso, I don't use Bosch in GM vehicles, only fords.

Lil-j

AC compressor clutch is making noise, can I replace just the clutch or do I have to replace the entire compressor?
Either way, can anyone recommend good yet cheap parts?
Thanks fellas.

Lil-j

Ok, so here goes. I've got a laundry list of parts I'd like to replace on my truck this coming spring/summer when the warm weather gets here and I get my jeep so I can take the CC off the road to do all this and NOT have to do it on the weekend and back together for work monday morning. I'd like opi...

Lil-j

Thanks fellas. What control arm bushings and sway arm bushings/kit did you use? Can you post links?

Lil-j

When you did the sway bar bushings, did you have to support the control arms with spindle jacks if you did it on a lift? Or did you do it on the ground? How did you you do it? I'm just trying to find out the procedure of how to do this.

Lil-j

What trim package is your truck? Mine is an LS

Lil-j

Jumping in here. My truck is the LS crew, I've got a laundry list of things I want to get done this spring/summer including the sway bar bushings and all four control arm bushings. I see a kit listed in this thread and done some searching. There are two sizes listed for the sway bar, 28mm and 33mm. ...

Lil-j

This could also be a bad ignition coil as well. Just had this recently, truck ran like crap over 35-40mph, terrible exhaust smell etc. It was the ignition coil causing random misfire's, therefore raw fuel going to the cat, causing the smell. A bad coil is very easy to diagnose, open the hood and rea...

Lil-j

All this is why I'm trying to see if anyone has already done this. I dont want to spend time and money to see if it works or not.

Lil-j

Ok, been searching since I posted this question. Extended cab corners wont work, too big. Regular cab might, just not sure of the length... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chevy-S10-Pickup-GMC-Sonoma-Cab-Corner-Regular-Cab-Pair-/270878258875?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3AS10&hash=item3f...

Lil-j

If any of you have replaced cab corners on these trucks, where did you get them from? I live up in north east ohio, so lots of road salt in the winter. And time is taking its toll and I'm noticing more and more cancer on the truck. Both rear cab corners need replaced when the weather warms up. So do...

Lil-j

Where does it sound like the noise is coming from? Underneath you or more forward? How bout the T-case? At least in my case I've heard this sound, it's not constant but intermitent while driving in 4HI. I suspect a stretched Tcase chain. Not fun work but I'll be doing come spring when I get my chero...

Lil-j

Splined shaft on the Tcase shift shaft, that goes to the encoder? Huh?

Lil-j

Lil-j

Also, I mentioned a few weeks ago about my friends 96 blazer that he was scrapping. I got the encoder motor off it originally and nothing else at that point. Later I went back and spent 6 hours going through and tearing stuff off of it. I figure at the very least I'll get the experience of removing ...

Lil-j

Trucks fixed!

A buddy of mine two states away was at the junk yard, asked me if I needed anything. For grins I said grab a transfer case control module if you find one. He did, shipped it out, I got it yesterday, put it in today, now I got 4HI back!

Lil-j

Just put a new encoder motor in. Battery disconnected. AND TC control module unplugged while doing the swap. Same problem. No 4hi, only 2hi and 4lo. Wtf.... Transfer case switch replaced yesterday. All my trouble shooting kept leading back to encoder, replaced it. Still a no go. :x :cry: :twisted:

Lil-j

http://www.autozone.com/autozone/parts/ ... 2180_13424_

http://www.autozone.com/autozone/parts/ ... 2180_15907_

Which one?

Lil-j

Ok, I put it all back together, still the same issue. The 4x4 actuator retracts when the Tcase goers into 4lo, still not sure in the front diff is fully engaged but I cant free spin the front drive shaft. I know the vac system works good. Pretty sure its the encoder motor... Tomorrow I'm gonna go pi...

Lil-j

Thanks fellas, PB it is. But to actually lube the cable do I just spray little squirts into where the cable retracts into the cable sheath? I'm doing this watching it suck into the sheath already. I checked the vacuum switch on the transfer case above the encoder motor, functions fine. The check bal...

Lil-j

*lubing

Lil-j

How bout luning the cable? Do I squirt some PB down the tube the cable is housed in?

Lil-j

Ok, seperated the cable from the diaphragm, diaphragm squeezes all the way in. When doing I can air escaping from near the firewall. Traced it to a line that I found zip tied to the TRANS dipstick. It's a little floppy cap thing on it that will jump if the diaphragm is squeezed quickly enough. Is th...

Lil-j

In the end, could very well be the encoder motor. Your right, I've read that before about the sensor in it going bad. I'm just trying to rule out other things while I'm at it. I've got the battery and tray out right now. Trying to see if the cable is froze up, or the thing with the diaphragm is bad....

Lil-j

Thank you two for the good info, Henry as well. Truck is back in the garage and I'm gonna start to play with it again tomorrow. For starters I'll disconnect the battery and check the box behind the kick panel, unplug it, clean the terminals, plug er back in. AS long as the battey is disconnected, mi...

Lil-j

Speaking of of the button shifter. The button's wont respond unless I'm in neutral, not park or drive. The owners manual says you should be able to go from 2HI to 4HI and any speed.

I may have to look into the other transfer case.

Lil-j

Ok, I did the swap last night, everything well except for the drive shaft, I hate needle bearings. I had figured to look at what position the transfer case shaft was in compared to the TC motor, mine the matched the replacement one and it went on easy. Got the job done, disconnected the battery and ...

Lil-j

I'm gonna be replacing the encoder motor today or tomorrow but wanted to ask for more info first. I took the encoder motor off of a 96 blazer that I wa not cocerned about doing it right other than gettting it out of the truck. So, when I put this one in my s10, do I need to disconnect the battery? I...

Lil-j

Got the encoder motor out of the blazer today, not gonna have time to put it into the s10 today but it'll go in soon. Was not hard at all to remove once I figured out all of what I needed to do. I'll let ya know when it's installed and whether or not it works. Wish me luck.

Lil-j

Ok, Bringing this thread back. I havent had a chance to get this issue fixed yet, been a rough year. However I've got it narrowed down to this part #48107 for the new encoder motor. Also, Wanna see what you guys think, cause parts are parts, money is money and I dont have a lot of money but have a j...

Lil-j

Hey roadrunner, I'll keep that in mind about the spacers. I have been thinking about them for a while, just havent got around to them but I admit I'm a little sketchy about wheel spacer. And trust me, I believe you about 2000 miles on rear pads, that around what I get out of mine. Suprisingly though...

Lil-j

I've thought about the spacers but always saw them as not worth it other making the front and rear wheels look even. Never thought of helping brakes. Plus on mine the dust shields have pretty much rotted away to nothing. Where'd ya get the wheel spacers? The thing that got me thinking about this is ...

Lil-j

On the front?

Lil-j

In my experience the rear disc brake set up on these truck just suck. I've never had as many problems with rear brakes on any of my previous/other vehicles. The rear brakes just get chewed up fast for some reason, new pads, calipers, rotors etc, still dont last more than a year or so.

Lil-j

Your good. No coolant in the rear of the truck. More than likely someone elses coolant spill. Plus you said it rained, and the drippage from your truck was clear. Cooland would be green or orange...

Lil-j

Anybody know how to remove the plastic trim from the bumpers? I wanna take it off temporarily to plasti-dip the chrome of the bumpers. My truck is black, the wheels are black, windows tinted. Last night I plasti-dipped the chrome part of the grill and the badges, wanna do the bumpers now. Then I can...

Lil-j

Thanks Henry, wont be doing anything today. It's 18F here and snowing pretty good. Roads are crap and I'm not risking it today on crap roads.

Lil-j

Oh trust me, I'm planning on fixing it right, was just hoping to patch it long enough to make a 30min drive. Got a buddy with a heated garage. And it is stupid cold outside, I can't take anymore than 20mins outside before I can't feel my fingers and toes.

Lil-j

I can get at it but being on top of the frame rail it's very tight there. What do ya think about cutting it at the break, then putting a piece of rubber line over the break with a hose clamp oneither side of the hose. I would do this as more or less a get by till the weather is warm enough to not ge...

Lil-j

Ok, bad luck day yesterday, wife goes to leave, comes in the house, car wont start, that sounds like alternator, just great. I tell her to take the the crew, she leaves, calls a while saying the brake pedal doesnt feel right and the brake light on the dash is on, she wasnt far from home and there wa...

Lil-j

If it helps, the diff seal on the driver side is an easy replacement.

Lil-j

This front ends noise when turning on dry pavement is normal like Henry said. If you are in mud snow or something like that you won't have that problem. Unless there is some issue that I'm missing.

Lil-j

Ok, so I've decided I'm gonna change the encoder motor as soon as I have cash to do so. My next question is which one do I need? The sticker in the glove box has within the list of parts NP1. I've seen this number listed in the link I posted above for transfercase motors/encoder motors. So is NP1 th...

Lil-j

Searched rockauto, closest thing related is this: http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/x,carcode,1384309,parttype,16844 Im pretty sure this goes in the kick panel on the passenger side. And these are transfer case motors: http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/x,carcode,1384309,parttype,10323 Ok, any idea of ho...

Lil-j

I haven't had any issues with my 4wd till now. Worked great in mud, it's just this now. I start the truck and can normally hit 4hi and it goes in right away, try to do same now and the buttons do nothing unless I'm in neutral, it blinks 3 times and stays in 2hi, but only in neutral. I just need to k...

Lil-j

Where is the encoder? Is it in the passenger kick panel?

Lil-j

I've read something about a vacuum actuator under the battery, I'm assuming battery tray. What I don't know is if this will have anything to do with the buttons on the dash switch?

Lil-j

And it's gone again...... Wtf?

And this the time of year that I need it most, go figure.

Lil-j

Ok, disconnected the battery for 10 minutes, BAM! I have 4WD again!

Now, what does that mean as far replacing the transfer case motor? I don't understand how it would need to be reset and works again. Then again I don't know much at all about push button 4wd. I'm just looking for education here.

Lil-j

Encoder motor? I can't find that. But did come up with this http://m.autozone.com/autozone-mobile/en/parts/Cardone-Reman-Transfer-Case-Motor/_/N-jh7ipZ6o2vy?id=533592 Is this right? This part would give me 4hi back, I'm asking because right now the 4 hi button will only respond if I'm in neutral, it...

Lil-j

Sorry for the bad grammer, I'm using my phone and there is lag for someone reason and I can't see the edit function

Lil-j

I used 4HI yesterday, I was stopped when I engaged it, in drive and it went in. Today I pushed the button and nothing, if I put the TRANS in neutral and push the button 4hi and 4lo flash a few times then it goes back to 2 hi. So I tried 4lo, in neutral, then to park then drive like the manual says. ...

Lil-j

Has anybody HERE done it? What did you put in? I searched and found a few people talking about doing but none where it has been done. Eventually (year or two), I'd like to get another truck but keep the crew for a toy. I'd like to do swap in a cummins 4BT diesel but have no idea about what transmiss...

Lil-j

I suggest doing what is mentioned above. Plug the factory head unt back and see if they work. If they do the speakers and factory harness are good. Then plug the aftermarket one in and check all it's functions, fade, balance etc. if the speakers don't work after that, it's simply the head unit is ba...

Lil-j

Mystery..... I changed the driver door switch today, not too bad of a job though smaller hands would help. Before I installed the new switch I plugged it in and pushed the plunger in to check for function, it acted the same. Ok, maybe its the passenger fron that is bad. I figured out how to get to t...

Lil-j

New door switch is going in today.

Lil-j

The rear diff is easy, just fill till it starts coming back out, done.

Lil-j

crazycarl wrote:, this time I am going to use dish soap.

Are you talking about doing this with the powdered kind, right?!

Lil-j

Ok, thats what I'll do, get the passenger side changed tomorrow. I've read that before about the cascade affect, same goes for a few other things as well. I'll deal with them later if they go errr, when they go. My truck is just shy of the 100k mark so I've been spending more time in the garage with...

Lil-j

:x The alarm went off on my truck the other night, very odd considering it has only what came from the factory. I went out, stopped the horn from beeping ( I like my neighbors) checked the truck out, nothing wrong, locked it and noticed the dome light took a real long time to go out, hmm. Opened the...

Lil-j

Ok, then as far as I know, there are a total of 3 o2 sensors, correct? I can see 2 of them from under the truck on the passenger side, one before the cat, one after. I figure if I change the one I can see under the truck, forward passenger side, this will/should fix the code popping back on. Or is t...
