I had powerstops , then made brackets for camaro SS off a 2016, then last weekend bought brackets off my buddy on S10forum (yes he sells them still) and slapped on some C6 Corvette calipers+slotted EBC rotors/Red Stuff pads..Jesus I love them

Nicely done! 2 thumbs up! 👍👍

The 4wd spindles wheel bearing is designed to be held tight by the front axle nut. Had you been able to actually install it on your truck without fwd the wheels would have flew off with the wheel bearings and everything. Very dangerous situation. That's why gm made sure you can't mix match those

I use moog problem solver -40 for my uppers. No problems with those. Part#k5208 if you wanna give those a shot. Great vid 👍

Good shit 👏 Need a follow up showing how much they improved the dime🤘 Thx for vid

Also, good job

4x4 s10s are also the same front brakes I believe with calipers on back as well.

Great video and info!! Hey did the abs wire connect to your factory harness? How did the steering feel also after the swap? Thank you.

Yes, everything plugs right in the steering was a little tighter, but could be improved by changing out the steering box in my set up. You do notice a good difference when you turn

Please everyone doing this type of swap invest the few extra $$ and get new or rebuilt calipers.

Whole lot of work that didn’t need to be done. All you needed to do was brake hose, tie rod and ball joints to disassemble. No need to take off brake caliper and rotor if you were replacing it all

So the spindle you installled is from a blazer? And the hub is for a blazer?

@madmike_9343

Yes spindle and hub have to be from a 2wd blazer.

Great vid my guy. Been contemplating if I should do the upgrade on my brakes, but now you convinced me to do so. This may sound dumb,but would the hub from the blazer be the same for the s10? I know that both the blazer and the s10 are very similar but just want to make sure. Again great video

@madmike_9343

Negative the s10 has the hub integrated into the brake rotor, what I learned from this is just stick to the 2wd blazer and it should be fine. I was having trouble finding them in Houston, that’s why I grabbed the 4wd and ended up not working.

Hey bro, I just did the swap and I left my original brake lines on the S 10 and I cannot get my brakes to bleed up and I put brand new calibers on it. You have any recommendations? Thank you.

@madmike_9343

Well if you pinched the line with plyers and it’s an old line then more than likely u need to replace them. What I would do first is determine where the blockage is coming from so I would unscrew one line and press the brakes and see if fluid comes out. If fluid comes out from both hoses then you know the issues in the calipers so you might have a blockage

So if I wanted to add lift spindles to my S10 I would need blazer lift spindles?

Hey I'm about to do the same conversation to my s10. It's still the 4.3 v6. The question I have is since it will be an everyday driver. Will I need the longer ball joints or is that just for drag racing? If you know let me know. Thanks

I think the ball joints depend on your ride height more than anything since mine sits pretty low to the ground I would say I’m fine riding with the factory length but if you’re anything in the stock height you probably should change them
