[Project] UP? or down¿

Wicked Mayhem · 08-17-2008, 05:49 PM

oh and im doing a mod s10cyncrvr did a while back. replacing the rag joint with a flaming river u joint. i bought the u joint last night from summit and bought another steering shaft from s10warehouse. that away i can replace it back to factory incase i need to for any reason.

im also looking into replacing my master cylinder and removing the abs with a cpp master cylinder. NickZigaitis has done it and i sent him a PM with a few questions im waiting on a reply and some more moneys before buying the master cylinder. heres a pic of it.. looks sweet! and has all the stuff i need to remove abs already in it!

i dont want abs

BlazerChops · 08-17-2008, 07:40 PM

I've never liked abs brake myself and have always opted to not have it on any of my vehicles. Unfortunately, the Blazer has it. But now since I see that this new CPP unit is only 200 bucks and has everything built into it, I might just go ahead and do this mod as well. It will be nice to have normal brakes again!

you can do it cheaper and without buying that master cylinder. search around and it will show you what you need. i just think it will look cool having that master cylinder and everything built in

BlazerChops · 08-17-2008, 07:59 PM

Oh I know. I could just get a couple of 2psi valves, a metering valve and a proportioning valve and do it that way, but I'd rather have an all-in-one unit which will be much neater, plus a whole new master cylinder (which my stock unit may be in question anyway).

Wicked Mayhem · 08-19-2008, 07:54 PM

got my 1/0 gauge for my big 3, 4 gauge for amp, rca's for inside sub box, and some high temperature 1200 Degree wire covering for all the big 3 wiring

BlazerChops · 08-19-2008, 10:33 PM

Call me stupid, but what is this "big 3" you keep mentioning?

The Big Three upgrade, simply put, is upgrading the main three electrical charging wires in a vehicle's electrical system. These wires are the power wire from the alternator to the battery positive, the engine block to a ground, and the battery negative to a ground.

Ah, got it now. I did that to my old '02 Hyundai Sonata a few years back. Then again, I also had over 4000 watts of power in the trunk at one point as well fed from the stock alternator, Optima Yellow Top and 100mF Alumipro cap.

Damn I miss that car, traded it in for the dumb Miata.

yeah im curious. even if it doesnt make a ton of difference, i dont have to worry about that rag joint anymore. and the u joint will way outlast the reg joint.

im hoping it takes care of my problem.

99 BUCKET · 08-20-2008, 11:52 PM

Makes a ton of diff. I used the bottom half of an astro van shaft to do the same mod.

BudRacing · 08-21-2008, 12:01 AM

I'm gonna do that mod along with a fresh steering box one of these days.

bmxbang · 08-21-2008, 12:25 AM

pretty lookin joint you got there...

ZQ8 Blazer · 08-21-2008, 01:23 AM

Yeah I wonder how much of a difference it makes?

What's so bad about the rag joints? I hear bad stuff about them all the time.

Wicked Mayhem · 08-21-2008, 01:29 AM

you get a little bit of distortion from the rubber.

ZQ8 Blazer · 08-21-2008, 01:32 AM

oh ok, well let us know exactly how much better it is.

haha.. this thing handles like its on rails! but the rails are not bolted down to anything.

ZQ8 Blazer · 08-21-2008, 01:56 AM

I was really surprised how much better mine handled after I dropped it, most improved handling after a drop of any other truck I've owned.

I know he can't explain it in words, I meant that after he does the mod to tell me if it's worth doing.
