Keep us updated on the increased accuracy once you get some range testing in.
I decided this week to update an old favorite. Ruger 10/22 turned FN P90 is on order.

Nice! That should be a fun shooter!

green02crew

The beretta forum has lots of good info on all that and I'm thankful for its existence.

green02crew

Now that looks like a convenient product. Their warranty is listed as 3 years but the fine print has me worried. When my Duracell booster pack dies this is my next purchase if all goes well with you being the test subject! Thanks for sharing and keep us updated on this!

If a hammer spring is worn or too light you'll get light strikes. This one is a factory rated poundage for the double action only variant so it is factory weight and will ignite primers without issue. The trigger spring is just trigger return and has no ill effect on hammer weight. If you were in ne...

green02crew

Yup, those are the two part numbers! I found the reset to be slightly slower but with a much lower, smoother pull. Great reviews on the beretta forum as well. I didn't change much after that. Went with an oversize magazine release to accommodate my small hands, a skeletonized hammer and metal guide ...

http://www.gunsprings.com/Semi-Auto%20Pistols/BERETTA/92,%2096,%20AND%20CENTURION/cID1/mID2/dID36 I ordered the reduced power trigger conversion and a 16 pound hammer spring. The 16 pound spring is the same weight as the 92D spring from Beretta so you don't risk light primer strikes. The 92 is a won...

green02crew

I just picked up a 92 series myself, great shooters and the styling is all there. I recommend the 92D hammer spring and Wolff reduced power trigger spring conversion. Makes the trigger very smooth and much lighter.

green02crew

This is very Mad Max, I love it!

green02crew

Updated, sold Scangauge on eBay. I tried to pass the deals along to you guys!

green02crew

I picked up a similar generator at tractor supply but 500w less. I thought I got a deal at $299 but apparently I was mistaken. Although your deal was 5 years ago now

green02crew

HPP3 sold.

Scanguage still availabe until it goes onto eBay.

green02crew

I do not know exactly what years this covers. I believe there is a lookup on hpp's website about that. It is not vin locked.

green02crew

green02crew

roadrunner,

I had my PCM sent out and programmed. I then installed and used an HPP3. Works fine together. I used the HPP3 to change tire sizes from summer/winter tire changes. I sent it back to stock upon sale. No issues.

green02crew

Check the classifieds... some of us might be listing some there.

green02crew

So although not efficient, it would work just to keep the aux battery charged? It is only about a foot from the trailer power lug which is coming out of the distribution box. I would most likely put a switch on it to just isolate it from the box so no back feed when not charging. If it can charge a ...

green02crew

This is what I had in mind. Edit: I may be able to just put in another shut off instead of an electrical isolator and that would enable me to flip it every now and then to keep it charged while the truck is running and going on trips then shut if off again. It would just involve popping the hood mor...

I finally found a GM installation of the dual battery setup and it is complicated: http://chevyavalanchefanclub.com/cafcna/index.php/topic,136506.0.html I had planned on running a more simple setup and attaching the second battery to the trailer power provisions stud on the fuse block. This is hot a...

green02crew

Little bit of update with this... I found next to my open battery tray a positive terminal that goes to the main input blade for the fuse block. This is normally used for accessories such as the power for trailer battery charging through the 7 pin connector. If I wire it to this would that work or w...

green02crew

Okay last couple of questions... Is an in line fuse needed with this setup whether in the supply or output from the aux battery? You're running two positives to the backup battery, correct? One to charge and one to jump start? What gauge wire are you running for charging purposes? My alt output is 1...

green02crew

Without the shut off switch will the main battery die then go on to kill the reserve?
Also, if the main battery were to die, will it auto switch to the strong backup battery and get you started?

green02crew

What is the isolator you wired it to charge from?

green02crew

I too am looking at a dual battery setup. I want to keep it very simple and want the battery there in case of emergency and if needed for a jump start or cold start day. I like the booster pack that I have but don't desire to keep it with me all the time. I have the second battery tray built in and ...

Thanks LoneWolf. It's programmable so it has the xgauge software. I added transmission temp and knock retard to it. I used it lots of times for the CEL clearing.

No removal for the corvette servos, longer pin and billet 4th. Goes in from the top. Check the page for that mod.

green02crew

Lots of reviewers online complain of moisture, have you had that problem? Also, how does the rear camera receive power?

green02crew

Yes, came with all the shields which I am thankful for. The camera would be nice for hooking up trailers as this truck is utilized mostly for towing/hauling as I do not have a daily commute. That was my main concern were the possible weak tie-rods.

green02crew

No backup camera, that and leather are the two options we didn't get. Hard to find in a truck around here apparently. Any known issues with the suspension components on them? The 2" leveling kit seems pretty much a given on these and easy to do with just a block under the front strut assembly.

green02crew

Thanks! I've been lurking around the silverado/sierra forums. Any necessary items you can think of?

Another former CC owner here too. Time has taken it's toll on my CC and although running well, a change was in need. 2012 Sierra is here.

I had my sister pick up a 1TB external Toshiba HD @ Walmart for me, $59.

green02crew

To throw it out there, I went with the recommended hollow stops from the full size. I live in lots of salt and even my Bilsteins are showing their age at just a couple years there's little paint left. The stops are holding up well though.

green02crew

I've seen tons of V8 Colorados around here? They are factory. I think they were only available in the cc or the 2wd sport model. 5.3 w/ the 4L60E.

KSG with sling, breacher, Eotech, BUIS and flashlight/forward grip.

I just got word from Kel-Tec. My KSG has shipped! I know, I know, no pictures means it didn't happen. Give me a few days for it to come in!

I have an add a leaf and longer shackles. My drive shaft has rubbed on my gas tank skid plate. I also carry way more weight than what I should and bigger trailers than I should. Doing it over again, I would go with a progressive rate spring pack. The shackles are great for looks but not function whe...

As I've said before, most ABS works well. The ABS in these trucks, not so great. GM had some issues for a few years in the brake systems that even the full size pickups dealt with. Newer ABS is much better than what these were. I drive a Ford CVPI everyday and even the older ones had ABS above and b...

green02crew

I found mine to be hard too, possibly with age? I was able to fit a screwdriver through and stretch it out slightly to allow the wire to fit through eaiser. Just be careful not to damage anything in the process.

green02crew

I just replaced the stock battery. Amazing lifespan. It was abused as well, ran dead, overcharged from a faulty alternator. Messy life but good since 2002. That's not bad. Put in a Maxx from Walmart, I already notice it doesn't turn over quite like the old one when it's cold out. CCA is a little low...

green02crew

I'm liking this one. I approve.

green02crew

The current look is okay, but not sure I'm a fan. It's hard to tell where posts stop and where posts begin, no line defining them? Also, I can't seem to easily differentiate between old posts and new posts. No color markers like before being red for new, yellow for old.

green02crew

Scan it first and check that.

green02crew

I've been running underdrive pulleys for years now. Daily driver and all. Here's the breakdown on them. There is some power increase. No power steering issues at all and no alternator issues if the pulley is correct, yours obviously is not. It should be much smaller than stock, the smallest you can ...

green02crew

Leave it pulled until you get back to get it all sorted out. Mine's been pulled for years. It does stop better without ABS. ABS is a proven system, sometimes automakers just don't get it right.

green02crew

Very good suggestion roadrunner. That is a common problem with older motorcycles. The rubber lines get weak and expand losing brake performance. Lots of people go to the stainless steel braided lines to fix the issue.

green02crew

I would be happy to have that figured out as well. I'm still holding onto my stock BCM for the day it's traded so the airbag light will be off. I would love to ditch some old parts from the collection! I also don't think the BCM has anything to do with gearing.

green02crew

Yes and yes. I took mine off, cut the plastic lower valence and reattached it. I then kept the plastic trim on even where the lower valence was now missing. Take a look in the readers rides thread and you will see the picture I posted with this done.

green02crew

Do you think the All Terrain will actually go into production? Dodge and Ford do offer their own offroad vehicles so this might have a spot in the market.

green02crew

The temp gauge isn't exact either. Keep that in mind. I use a Scan Gauge to give readings and I get the exact temps that way. The stock gauge isn't too accurate in my opinion.

green02crew

Wicked easy mod. Few minutes and you'll be done. The hardest part I had was what to fill the original hole from the sensor with! Well I used a K&N filter change indicator. Fit right in swell and lets me know when the vacuum is too much because the filter is plugged. At least that's the idea.

green02crew

I also drive by the trip and scangauge, even when the real gauge is working.

green02crew

My fuel gauge is out as well... most of the time. I noticed that after not running it much in the winter and leaving "summer" fuels in it longer, the gauge now works year round. Not sure if it is a coincidence but that is the only change I made. I haven't even added any mystery oil lately and after ...

I relocated my IAT sensor as well. I also have the 180* stat. I didn't throw codes but was worried I would once colder weather arrived. Haven't had an issue now in years since I did the mods. Runs cooler too for sure. Made the biggest difference when towing as it starts to cool sooner. Rare now that...

I have the same issue only worse. My front rail IS gone. Completely. They don't see much treatment coming from the assembly line leaving them open to rust and only a matter of time.

Mine had an abs issue so if I touched the brakes the abs would come on. Pulled the fuse and bingo, no issues. Maybe not the same but similar to your problem.

The sensors are known for failure due to corrosion. It is the entire hub assembly. I had that issue and the ABS would come on with bad timing. I pulled the fuse to it. No ABS, stops quick, no annoyance.

Flaming River rag joint replacement??

green02crew

04crewvt, we're not far apart, I have 86k or so on all 4, all original. One does have a bad abs sensor, corrosion. I would go with stock acdelco for those, seem to last okay, other than the sensors which i just pulled the fuse. Stops pretty well without.

I must say its really awesome to see this truck end up in the hands of someone who will actually drive it and care for it! Too cool to see these rigs actually get used after a life of show.
