removing ABS

[lwrthenurz07]

Does anyone have directions for me to take out the abs in my 95 v6 s-10? I need to remove it to be able to oil my EDC.Ive been waiting on a mechanic to come do it,but im tired of waiting.

If it were mine I would not remove the ABS.

We don't use engine driven compressors as we do not require that much volume.

Take an average daily driver. Now, let's say you lower the vehicle every time you stop and get out (so you drive to work, deflate; get in to go to lunch, inflate; get back from lunch, deflate; etc.) If you do this 7 days a week it inflates 21 times.

Let's say that vehicle has a 3 gallon tank and a Thomas 327 compressor. Each time the vehicle is inflated the tank pressure drops below 135psi (the trigger pressure) so the compressor turns on to fill the tank back to 150psi. A Thomas 327 will take slightly less than a minute to fill a 3 gallon from 135-150. So at the end of the week the compressor has run a total of 21 minutes (or 0.002% of the time). (just a note: there's 10,080 minutes in a week)

I already bought and installed the engine driven one. my compressor I got from you'll was poop.I had a 3 gallon tankand 450 viar on my single cab s-10 and it would take 10 min to fill,lol. If someone can tell me how to remove the ABS I would appreciate it.

Depending on your state and local laws, removing your ABS could cause a liability issue in case of an accident...

I thought people that ran 20" rims up front had to remove it anyways since it sits on the fender?

Hey man , to put it nicely , I think your best bet is to go to an s10 forum for your answers , or to a sight that deals with edc,s

[lwrthenurz07]

considering I spent 3000$ with this company I think I should be able to ask questions in there f'n forum. I thought this was a customizing forum.

But its ok, I see that this place is only for questions about there products.I figured one person might have had 20" wheels on there s-10 on this site.And sorry for buying a dam EDC,Im an idot.

Easy, man! :)
You might want to go to this thread: http://www.ridetech.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2798&highlight=roadgrater , it looks like one of the guys there has done some modding that might be relevant to your situation. Might try to email him and see what he says. Let us know how it works out!

whoah there horsey.... :D I will let you know what you are in for and you can decide your options from there. First off, we DO NOT SELL OR USE engine driven compressors. My guess is that you may have gotten that from Airlift. Now that we have gotten that out of the way...
If you are wanting to put 20's on the front of your dime and you are wanting the crossmember to hit the floor this is what you are going to be in for... unless you are running a rubber band for a tire.
First off, on the suspension you are going to need to go with a tubular arm set up in order to keep from notching the heck out of your frame to clear the lower control arm. You are also going to need run that with a set of quality drop spindles in order to keep the geometry correct. Also plan on notching the frame for your tie rod ends to clear. I have seen some of these trucks set up with tie rod extensions and have not had to do this. That will depend on your overall tire diameter.
Next you are going to have to consider what kind of sheetmetal modfications you are going to need. For sure you are going to have to remove your inner fender wells in order to gain tire clearance. depending on your overall diameter you will possibly have to notch the front corners of the cab to also gain clearance. After that if the OD of your selected tire is big enough you will also have to mod your heater blower box. After you have done that, most guys who want that finished look and a sense of security will build new inner fenders to keep the rain water out of the engine bay. :)
Up above Darren tried refering you over to the S-10 forum. I would recommend looking over there because there are several build up threads where guys are running EDC's, 20's in the front and laying it on the ground.
The suspension part is a no brainer... we can help you with that all day long. Some other manufacturers EDC and modding out your sheetmetal and engine bay to get it all to fit.... thats all you brother :D
