I used a piece of textured abs from my local taps plastic and I glued it in with black RTV silicone that way it stays flexible. The vortec engine cover such thin plastic I'm sure it moves a lot when it heats up that's why I decided to use the black RTV silicone it will stay flexible and not pop out.

GM drive by wire TAC module cruise control wiring.

I found the male plug that will plug into the factory cruise control female plug on the firewall if you do not want to cut your harness.

Went to my local U-Pull-It today and got lucky found this OEM trailer hitch on a 2000 GMC Jimmy it's an excellent condition only paid $28 for it. Dealer price was about $300 after taxes not installed.

Went to Sacramento raceway with my 04 Blazer 2dr 2wd Weighs 3700. Only mods is K&N intake and running on E20 fuel and mild tuning with HP tuners timing only.

Best time
16.220 @ 84.22mph

Average time
Roughly 16.5

Worst time
16.819@80mph

Now I have my before times before I do my 5.3L swap


When you go to the raceway to have fun when you pull up to the lights look over to your left then you ask God what did I do to you today to deserve this to have my backside handed to me by a Tesla.

Update on my blazer build I decided to change direction I had time to think while I was down. I had eight back surgeries two shoulder surgery and one neck surgery in the last year and a half so I had to hit the pot button on my build so I can heal. Here is some pictures of the update of what I'm putting on top of my mild built 5.3 Ls.
