Post a pic of your truck. Check the sticker in the glove box also. Z71 are full size trucks.
yea ur right , my bad , i dont see anything saying zr2 in the glove box i get pic the truck in few thanks
They never made a 4 door ZR2.
They did make a 4 door ZR5. Yours is not one.
It wasn't an off road package. Just a bunch of bling. Like roof rack and bed rails.
ok ty for the reply , i just bought the truck for my son wea are going work it it to make it alot nicer
its loaded with options i have the orginal sheet that goes in the window when it was new for this truck it shows like 63 options ...cost was like 25 grand i think
ok ty for the reply , i just bought the truck for my son we r going work it it to make it alot nicer
Have you developed a list/ plan for making it 'nicer'?
i did see a 4 door zr2 4 door or at least it says in the bed its a zr2 it does have the roof rack and bed rails on it , its in bad shape the bed eat up with rust one side and under the doors both sides i could have got it for 1500 , needed trans guy said

No 4 dr ZR2's...plan on 1k for dual exhaust, not sure why you're going to replace a good factory fan for electric, TB spacer is useless, and as for wheels...ZR5 wheels look great.
x2 on the ZR5 wheels -

Just to confuse people I put ZR5 wheels on my ZR2. As far as the 4 door ZR2, a couple have been hand built using an extended cab ZR2 frame and some fabrication. Was a post on here recently of a nice converted one. Too bad the poster wasn't as nice as his truck.
Stickers on a bed mean nothing. I could turn mine into a Ford 8.0L 4wd twin turbo Lightning just by buying stickers off ebay.

Applying a decal on the rear quarter panel doesn't make it a ZR2 - simply a tacky imposter. The decal may have been added as 'bling' or, more deviously, to falsely pass the truck off as a ZR2 to inflate the sales price to unsuspecting buyers. The RPO code on the glove box sticker will confirm if it was or wasn't. The Regular Production Option ZR2 is a special off-road/suspension package.

You can Google 'S10 ZR2 package for a detailed list of the items in the package, and there's a section here in the forum for ZR2's (ZR2 - BlaZeR2 - Highrider).
That's a pic of a ZR5. It has the roof rack, bed rails, little flares, and ZR5 wheels. The sticker also has a "5" on it. As I mentioned above it's not an off road package with heavier rear differential and lifted suspension. Instead is a trip thru some auto parts store's accessories department. It talks the talk, but cant walk the walk.

Good spotting - I totally missed that.
the eletric fan is for gas milage , plus u get few more hp out it i did it years ago on my 4.3 it dont give moch of eather but this day and time every little helps ya know ... this makes it 4th truck ive had and my son got hooked on them lol
I agree that you will get a bit more hp and mpg without the parasitic draw of the mechanical fan, BUT it's going to be really small....so small you might not notice it. Since you just got it, you might be better off spending time and money to ensure it's running properly as is. For example:
  • Check/replace tires;
  • Check/change fluids;
  • Check/inspect belts, hoses, ignition components (spark plugs, wires, distributor cap, etc.);
  • etc.
Just a thought...Congrats on the purchase!
