You replaced the intake manifold and all gaskets right, dumb question but my truck threw those same codes plus o2 sensor 1 & 2 lean.

When I did the initial repair, I replaced all of the plugs, the wires, distributor cap, rotor button, and the knock sensor. I didn't replace any of the O2 sensors though. I bit the bullet and its at the shop today. I should hear something this afternoon.

Yea, I replaced all the gaskets from the heads up. Didn't replace 02 sensors though.

I tinkered on my POS over the weekend. My ignition coil was bad, and I had a faulty spark plug wire. This cleared most of the codes. This morning its still throwing a P0301 and a P0440.

I finally got the POS running well. But every time I post in this thread...something messes up. LMAO. I had bad plugs, and another bad set of wires. Replaced those, and its been running great for a couple weeks now.

I also did a Bravada axle/tube swap. The 4wd quit working when I replaced the head gasket. The swap fixed it...now i'm having a minor issue with the indicator lights.

Also, i'm not sure if I mentioned, I tweaked the torsion bars and swapped some 2wd s-10 wheels on it with some 31x10.5's.

I have a 3" body lift off of my 94 jimmy. Will I have any issues running it on the newer blazer? I know a 3" kit isn't made for the new body style blazers. I just want to make sure I won't run into any issues.

I managed to get my issue with the indicator lights worked out today.

well, this thread has come to an end. Over the weekend I was made an offer I couldn't refuse. A friend offered me a 1990 suburban for the Blazer. I've been wanting this body style suburban for a long time. I immediately started sanding/bodywork getting it ready for paint.
