Thanks Marty! To answer your question Les when I got into the accident I was in 2wd so it was entirely my fault. However I'm thinking every time since putting the engine in that I thought I was in 4x4, I was indeed only in 2wd, crazy! Now I'm thinking about a few times on the trails over the summer I would have made the obstacle if I truly had it in 4x4 on LOL. With 4x4 truly working now the blazer feels planted as it should even on icy slippery roads, much better!
