I'm probably going to be putting a topper on, one with locking handles and such, plus most likely a Pop & Lock tailgate handle lock. Does anyone cover their stuff in their bed even though they have a topper (with windows)? The mentality I've always had is "out of sight, out of mind." I leave...

I've been looking at cars for a few months now. Originally started looking at Cavaliers (2.2L 4cyl), then looked at the 98+ Grand Am/Alero (3.4L V6) (test drove an Alero, but was in worse shape than I wanted), then turned to the 00+ Bonneville. Almost had a 02 Bonneville SE (3.8L V6) that had...

Got in the ZR2 and took it for a spin this evening and heard a "whoosh" sound when I pushed the brake pedal. It went pretty far down and pretty easily. This truck had a much better pedal than my Z71 ever had so I noticed this pretty quick. Checked the fluid level and the front half of the...

Alright, so I cleaned my TB and cut off the diffuser lip by removing only the TB blade (the TB itself has never been off the truck nor have I unplugged the IAC or TPS; the only hose/line that has been touched is the hose going from the valve cover to the elbow that attaches to the TB itself). I...

Finally had time to wash, clay, polish, and wax the ZR2 today. Spent somewhere around 4hrs on it. The truck is smooth, but there are still scratches (and I'm not surprised). Don't know if they'll every come out or not. Hopefully the wax will help this winter with all the snow and salt...

What speeds do you guys use for the various pads? (green, orange, white, black) I wrote down what was said in the demo video, but I can't remember what they were and can't find my sheet. Anyways, I'm hoping to detail the ZR2 before snowfall (want to get some wax on it before the salt hits) and...

Alright, a little short notice, but there's a Buy 3, Get 1 Free sale going on here I have Monday and Tuesday to get in and buy the tires (I'm just gonna buy them now and schedule the install at a later time). I need to pick out and get tires for my brother's car. It's a 1997 Dodge Stratus with...

Preface My S10 is a '98 4.3L ZR2. MagnaFlow does not make a header-to-post-cat piece that is for my truck, however they do make one for a '00. The difference is that the flange after the cat is a 2-bolt VS the 3-bolt that my truck had. So I went with '00 parts for both pieces. From what I can...

Just found this on eBay. Whipple S/C complete minus the electronics. $1160 is a very good price on this. Others I've seen on Craig's List were $1500-2000. I saw one on another forum go for $1300 and it didn't have nearly as much as this one. Another one on eBay went for $1k, was really dirty...

I woke up this morning at 5am to drive to Chisago City, MN (by Saint Paul, MN) to get a pair of leather front seats for the S10. They are gray, full power, and heated. The seats aren't in that bad of shape for being from a '99. There are spots where the leather is rubbed off, but there are...

I got an email with a 10% off code for Gibson exhaust (ends 6/22/11). I have found out that apparently the ZR2 and 4x4 S10's have a different exhaust system on them. I guess the support/mounts are different on the cat-back section. Anyone know if this is true? And the 2wd and 4wd vary in the...

I don't know where else to put this since we don't have a "Tuning" section in the "High Performance Modifications" area. I was just wondering who all is tuning their own GM vehicle. To what extent and how much tuning are you doing? I'm seriously thinking about getting it (finally)...

Alright, I'm making a questions thread about this mostly so I can keep all my info in one place. Once I get this project done, I'll make a How To thread that won't have all the questions and extra stuff in it. What I'm trying to do: install an overhead console from a Blazer into my S10. This...

On BBP's site, there's going to be a tune in Maple Grove/Minneapolis July 29 and 30. The site says 11 deposits are needed. Anyone here interested or going? I don't think I can go even if I wanted too. That might be the weekend I'm gone. :(

Well, I finally got my PC after having the starter kit (here) for over a month and finally had a day off work to have time to do everything. I did this yesterday, but didn't have time to post pics. I think this took 5-6hrs. I'm also thinking about getting a foam gun....especially since my truck...

Early in May, I finally found the S10 I had been looking for (after 4 months of searching). 1998 Chevy S10 ZR2 137,735 miles (when bought) extended cab (no 3rd door; 2 jump seats in back) 5 speed (what I had been searching for!!!) push button 4x4 (not sure if manual was even available) power...

I'm looking for a set of screwdriver bits that are attached to sockets. The ones Craftsman has (here) are too long in the philips head ones. The whole point of these (for me) is to be able to use the screwdriver bit in a tight location where a regular screwdriver can't fit (oh, lets say speaker...

The entire process took me 3 1/2 hours to complete. I apologize in advance for no pictures (all I have is a before and after). First off, everything comes apart pretty easily (or at least I thought so). Organization is key!!! I used a cardboard box to put all the screws in and then labeled...

I'm trying to get a different dash for my '98 S10 (and found a complete, perfect matching one for $75) and the question I'm getting is "is it with or without the code ZN4?". The junkyard guy is telling me they are two different dashes and are not interchangeable. I am unsure if I have the code...

I'm sure everyone has used or knows of a place that rents Rug-Doctor locally. Here, its $25 for 24hrs plus $3 for the hose/wand attachment. With all the vehicles we have (between me, my mom, dad, and brother), I'd like to buy a small "portable" cleaner myself for use on the carpet and seats in...

So after replacing my lower ball joints, the large C shaped clamp that I used didn't seem to be the best solution. The Matco version is $630 :eek: I'd like to find something like this: This one looks to have 3 arms. I think 2 arms at 180* from each other should be great plenty. Maybe...

So today me and a buddy worked on my Silverado. What was replaced: Upper ball joints Lower ball joints Inner Tie-Rod ends Outer Tie-Rod ends Tie-Rod sleeves Pitman Arm Idler Arm Sway-bar Links Sway-bar bushings (only part I didn't replace that I wish I would have was the Idler Arm mounting...

I need to order new upper and lower ball joints as part of my front-end repairs. The upper's only have one listed, but the lower's have two listed. One is for "forged" arms and is 47.89mm press-fit ball joint, and the other is for "stamped" arms and is 45.79mm press-fit ball joint. So my...

Well, I finally found another S10. It's located 1 1/2hrs from me and is everything I've been looking for (I really wanted the newest body style). 2001 Chevy S10 ECSB 4x4 5spd Forest Green Tan or gray interior - no tears, could use a shampooing 153k 3rd door, 4-wheel discs, no hitch (bumper...

So I finally had enough of not having my truck so I got it back out this morning. Before I got it out, I had to install and re-install a few things. So the changes since its been away: -LED tails - eBay -LED 3rd brake light - Recon (smoked) -LED reverse bulbs - VLEDs -Escalade cluster - eBay...
