Haha I will share that! I'm sure they'll like it. They already enjoy how people aren't trouble makers, they are simply mis-understood. Yeah ok.

green02crew

I have not heard a peep from either of the two gatorbacks that I have used. Decently priced as well I feel.

green02crew

It doesn't seem to me that there are any real issues there. You should expect some malfunctions from vehicles, especially with age and mileage. That is a given and these problems seem minor at best. The gas gauge us a common problem with these that just sort of has to be dealt with. The window motor...

green02crew

Is it another 4.3?

green02crew

At that cost I would just get an aftermarket bolt on similar to what is listed above. I think I had picked mine up for $60 shipped?

green02crew

That is pretty tough. Atleast it wasn't a huge surprise and you expected to have issues not some day on your way to work. At the quoted cost of replacement I would go V8 no question. Especially with the year of your vehicle and fuel prices it would get much higher economy as well. I have weekends if...

green02crew

wow that does not look good for after 6 months at all, was the cause moisture from the clogged vents?

green02crew

Yup just bought a couple of those and regular polish too to build a base

green02crew

So any idea where I can get some 1.5s?

green02crew

Yes originally mine was about that as well. Exact measurements now after cranking the torsion bars is 1.1" wider in the front over rear. I want to close that gap in. I can't get .5" spacers for the rear and the smallest that will fit is 1" so 1" on the front and 1.5" on the back will close that gap ...

green02crew

New plugs, wires, cap, rotor within 8mo. good idea on the hairspray though I had forgotten about that one.

green02crew

I am looking to keep in the same track as well, according to my track widths I need 1" in the front and 1.5" in the back to line it up within .1" of space. That way I can also clear wider tires in the future.

green02crew

Well it could be but it happens more when it is damp out as well so that why I am leaning towards electrical. And by damp I mean after torrential downpours.

green02crew

Well other than being very difficult to understand, the flare is not covered on the rust warranty. Apparently it only covers the metal without outside influence. Makes perfect sense, seeing as the vehicle is sealed airtight covered in a garage 24/7. But anyways so the flare mounts were rusted due to...

green02crew

Less than a week and I'm off to the Academy. That'll give me some time to save up for more mods since I won't be buying food, gas, electricity or much else for that matter other than bootshine

green02crew

Those of you that have the 1.5" spacers, where did you get them? completevalue on ebay does not sell the 1.5s only 1.25 and 2". I do like the design of their spacers, hubcentric and wheelcentric and a large OD. I am looking to get 1.5s for the rear but am having difficulty finding them.

green02crew

A quick update, the AD244 is compatible with the March underdrive pulleys as long as you have the one to speed up the alt back to stock. I have had no issues with charging. I know I had seen a thread on zr2usa about underdrive pulleys and Ad244 saying they would not work together, well here is proof...

green02crew

$600 overall?? Thats not bad in my mind. I would pay that. I have pretty much ruled out the body lift due to the amount of rust and corrosion on my rig I would not be able to do it, a shop would have a hard time but when they break parts I don't have to pay

green02crew

Sometimes it does not start right away, I actually have to touch the gas a bit. So this may be a good add to turn over quicker. I cannot justify paying a lot of money but I have found the new Street Fire for $180 shipped with the harness. That might be worth it.

green02crew

So is it worth the purchase?

green02crew

When installing an MSD ignition does it require anything special to hook up the tach? or anything else for that matter?

green02crew

Oh I trust your decision I just hate not knowing the differences being that theres only a few dollars between the two.

Have you reduced torque management at all personally?

green02crew

Well I guess I'll close my eyes and point to one... After install would removing torque management be ok to do? I want to take full advantage of the hardware but not kill my tranny. Should I just drop a little of it or none at all or all of it?

green02crew

Well after two attempts to contact from me and no reply I am left out in the open. Which one did you purchase HJ? The first one is a couple bucks more but seems better overall... I really don't know though as the descriptions are rather vague.

green02crew

Thats a good idea! Did you ditch the zr5 flares?

green02crew

And to add to my post from last night, the underdrive pulleys work fine with the AD244. Not ideal I'm sure but it does turn at stock speeds and keeps higher voltage under stress better than the stock alt did.

green02crew

Front is the same and would work fine. Rear however is different and you might be able to cut and make them fit but I don't know how much material they have on them. I'm sure someone else can chime in.

green02crew

Well I found the StreetFire at Autozone today for only $146. Not too bad, guess I'll order that and the harness. Considering the 6al is $220 the StreetFire is cheap. It is also much more compact and most likely will run at lower temps and require less power. Might be a nice add on.

green02crew

Well I picked up the AD244 sooner than I wanted. My alternator died when I got in my truck at about 5pm on a Sunday. The only thing open here around then is Autozone so I picked up a reman AD244 and belt for it to fit my March Pulleys. 93" belt, reman'd alt all for $220, not too bad on short notice ...

green02crew

Yeah I don't imagine I will but no reason not to inquire. I have it fixed to my liking now and it won't rub anymore with the size screws I added and all, its a tight fit.

green02crew

The Non-ZR5 rear faux flare seems to be having some problems. I guess they are held on with a metal bracket that they are riveted to then to the bed on the truck, atleast I think thats how its done I can't really tell. Doesn't make much sense but the bracket rusted out anyways and the flare went plu...

green02crew

Well I did the mod. I'm not very good at soldering anymore I guess

. No candle wax here to coat it so electrical tape will have to do, guess I'm not very romantic... Works quite nicely though I must say!

green02crew

I always thought it was the batteries too! I tried changing them, no luck. I'll be trying this one today!

green02crew

What is the difference between these two?
Billet 4th Servo
Billet 4th Superior Super Servo

Apparently there is a package for the Corvette servo and longer pin.

green02crew

When you unlock the doors the parking lights flash. The only signal to locking doors is a horn honk.

green02crew

I really wouldn't think that small cracks like that would make a huge difference but if it isn't sealing correctly than yes. I got a cap from walmart, cheap and locking to prevent those little gas gremlins from gettin at my stash!

green02crew

Apparently my airbag light comes on after exposure to water. It has happened twice now fording deep water or torrential downpours leaving small bodies of water along the road and blasting through them. Is there any fear of airbag deployment? The light turns off after some time drying out.

green02crew

Anyone seen the MSD StreetFire line. Looks like prices are pretty decent. Under $200 with wiring harness and to your door. What benefit would the 6al have over this?

green02crew

Well I have found that if I rock the truck side to side I can recreate the creaking sound without the truck running. Now I still have yet to narrow it down, hard to rock the truck and tell where the creak is coming from at the same time!

green02crew

Well theres some news on plates, s10warehouse has found it profitable to sell plates now. Looks like the hunting can be done for us, but you pay for it, I don't see any aluminum ones in now but atleast we know they do it.

green02crew

Well I just got my letter of replacement for the cables.

green02crew

UCAs is a good thing to check, I'll add that to my list tbars were lubed but no sense in not checking again. Sway bars are make me curious now. The sound started just this spring. I had switched out bushings and gone with poly. Would poly make noise? I always assumed they were quite but awesome sugg...

green02crew

Well it appears my caliper slide pins have stuck slightly. The inside of my rotors are all rusted and pitted pretty badly while the pads on the outside are heavily worn and chipping. 58k on the brakes is decent but not good. I guess I'll do a complete overhaul and see what comes of it. I knew they w...

green02crew

Well the creaking noise has gotten louder. Now it makes almost a cracking noise at times too. I gave up and had it checked out and the shop wasn't too sure, they suggested possibly bump stops? I don't understand how those would be creaking.

green02crew

Well I got an alignment today, I can never seem to keep this thing aligned well. Anyways I got a print out of all the angles and everything, turns out the track width difference from front and rear is exactly 1.1" I guess my 1" rough measurement wasn't far off! Thats with cranked tbars. I was lookin...

green02crew

I'm with 04crewvt on this one, looking at the photo you posted before in another thread, definitely in need of a tbar crank. I went to 30s on mine and cranked my tbars all the way up. Rides really stiff, been a good 20k or so, no probs other than one cv boot popping and slinging grease but thats a $...

green02crew

In theory yes. But you will be re-drilling lots of holes and I hope you are very good with a welder. There will be many many things to change. Don't forget if you move the rear axle further back you will need a longer drive shaft as well, not to mention you may need new cables, brake lines etc due t...

green02crew

I agree the Pirellis don't look as aggressive but it depends on what you're looking for in offroad performance as well. One of my friends has BFGs and I really wasn't that impressed. They are a decent tire but there are much better designs out there. They are just popular for looks, price and versat...

green02crew

Personally I went with the Firestone Destination A/Ts and love them. I wanted a little more rugged look than the Pirelli ATRs could offer and snow traction was a major part of the decision. I bet you'd be happy with the Pirellis though, and prices seem reasonable. I don't like the looks of any of th...

green02crew

I don't personally, but I bet some of these people have good reviews.

green02crew

So nobody has tried it in their CC? I'd be interested to hear what happens. I had seen a video online of a suburban that ran it and was not an e85 model and it worked fine but I can see the potential issues involved.

green02crew

I know I had seen this on here somewhere but can't seem to find it now. Has anyone run e85 in their CC? It isn't available locally to me but I was wondering if it was possible. Maybe set the pcm to the highest octane rating to utilize the e85 and prevent knock. And would our fuel pump handle it with...

green02crew

You kept the march pulleys right? If so, how's the charging level so far? What volts does it seem to run at in a hot idle?

green02crew

I got mine at a junkyard.

green02crew

I think you're looking for 92.5 about 1 inch longer than current. Hard to find, you can go to autozone and price out a few different ones but 92.25 and 93 seem to be available. I was looking into it a while ago. That is if you switch and run the march pulley on the new alternator as well. When you d...

green02crew

yeah, toss it and put in something decent! i have a linex and love it.

green02crew

Your transmission shifts into overdrive above 75*F. Cooler than that would be too cold to achieve maximum economy. For proper operation you don't want the transmission too cold or too warm. The best for longevity of the transmission is somewhere in between. Too low temperatures and too high there is...

green02crew

See I have the 3.73s and they do well for towing and whatnot but I would rather not tow as well and gain fuel economy and just run a smaller tire as well. Haha wanna trade gears?!?

green02crew

Maybe if you bent the brackets inward they would bolt into the holes holding the front skidplate on? Thats where mine bolts on so I'm just throwing that out there.

green02crew

I was issued an AR-15 and Glock 31. Both seem quite effective. Unlimited ammo policy makes it fun to go through a few boxes

green02crew

You can make it pretty easy. Connect to power for the e-brake controller, then another wire run all the way to the rear to connect to your harness. And one wire to the brake wire that is connected above your brake pedal. Its a pain but theres no quick way to hook it up with these trucks. Atleast min...

green02crew

I purchased the one for 2001 s-10s and it fits in my early model 02. I would purchase locally in case you have the need to return.

green02crew

This is a picture from the AVTekk website.

green02crew

I purchased the scosche with no issues. I am assuming that you need the adapter for 02 and up. There are some pretty good threads around here on that issue. Check this thread for some more info on it.

green02crew

okie s10 I like that! The rear axle looks great under there too!

green02crew

Ok so I should aim to keep it in the 13+ range. This was all done at a hot idle, when moving I can run everything and there is no issue. AD244 may have to be on its way...

green02crew

Ok so I managed to get it done today, took all of about 10 min tops for this project. It really does work, there is no more flickering at an idle. I still don't fully understand how it works but I'm happy. On another note, what voltage should it be at when running, minimum? I ran all my accessories,...

green02crew

Ok so just to verify, the sense wire just routes to the back of the alternator into the stack of wires there? It just seems too simple.

green02crew

I like the looks of it and the sound, nice!

green02crew

Wow thats quite the walkthrough! Thanks! Looks like I'll have a project for next weekend.

Is there a reason that our vehicles came without this connection? Is it bad that the system has fluctuating power causing the lights to flicker like this?

green02crew

Is there a way to get pictures of said process? My lights flicker at idle I had always assumed it was normal!

green02crew

Yes very good time to flush. Might not hurt at the same time to add an auxiliary tranny cooler and maybe a lower temp thermostat if you have cooling issues. I have not had a single issue even sitting in traffic while at record 100* temps. Until I turn on the a/c, but I guess thats normal.

green02crew

Annnnd is it running better??

green02crew

I have never been a fan of our ABS. The ABS in the Silverados have been known to fail. Some ABS is really quality, I feel ours has some work to be desired. Sorry I know that does not help your issue. But it could be related. On our old Silverado it was the computer running the ABS that had failed I ...
