    Chevy dude with a 98 sploder. I'm a fan

    my graduating class had 104, there were 4 from my home town, the rest were from surrounding towns. i believe i figured out the surge, it's missing on two cylinders because, my 02 sensor failed and made the passenger bank run hog rich until the plugs fouled themselves. I got a nifty little...

    Chevy dude with a 98 sploder. I'm a fan

    Hey guys! I've been having a bit of trouble with my sploder, she is surging horribly in gear (manual) and has an erratic idle, I had my codes ran a while back. The code reader said "slow response from oxygen sensor circuit" or something along those lines. I bought the o2 sensor and, sold it to a...

    I have a few pics, I get to focused on getting the job done. I have to replace my passenger side o2 sensor and probably do hubs in the next two weeks and try to get the 33's but, maintenance stuff is more important right now, what do you think I should do for performance mods on the 4.0 ohv?

    I got the shackles off, had to torch the bushings out an replaced with new. I took a rear wheel off and stuck the 33 in there and I don't understand why you guys had to trim I had plenty of suspension travel room. I'll still take precaution and I gotta check the front. I'm stoked, I hated the...

    Ugh! I'm trying to remove the factory shackles and, the leaf side refuses to come easily. I'm going to get it out one way or another so, 2 inch lift is about 20% done!

    The "southern twang" is bound to happen when your family is from southern Indiana and you grew up in a 1100 person town. This was supposed to be a daily driver but, I can't leave anything alone, my 85 iroc started off a little rough running so, we replaced the topend, every brake component...

    Chevy dude with a 98 sploder. I'm a fan

    Oh really!? I just picked up shackles and i'm doing TT up front. The weird thing is I can clear 33/12.50/15's right now with the 2 inches shackles and TT. Might rub at full lock. Now I need a brushguard, safari rack, taillight guards and my ZORV decals. If you guys don't know, look up "zombie...

    Chevy dude with a 98 sploder. I'm a fan

    Thank you! I took it out in the mud and spent an hour and half pulling it out, clay gets pretty sticky especially when your torsion bar crossmember and pumpkin are just sitting on it. It took a 4wd 5.3 Tahoe with limited slip on high gravel. Doesn't look to bad. I need to find some 31's and...

    It was a great price, yeah, the trips to the badlands will be awesome, my tires will last, i'll get good fuel mileage and, i have a/c! he has soft tires, terrible mileage with his diesel, and it's a hot truck no matter what you do.

    rattle and clunk

    I had a similar problem because of different sized tired front and rear, i did the brown wire mod and haven't heard a clunk since. Scared me half to death the first time i drove it.
