Man it looks like we are following each other in what we do... I just replaced my mirrors and blower motor this past week! Speaking of the Blower motor did you end up getting the cover back on after you cut it off? Mine was in such bad shape I left it out.

mine had already been cut out before and replaced . so mine was a quick replacement.




looks like im going to have to do some more work. this truck is going to be brand new after i replace everything. yeesh. back down to getting 15.39 mpg 70/30 highway/city

getting a code saying misfire on 3rd cyclinder ..this is right after new plugs and wires cap and rotor. so maybe injector? who knows somethin more for me to tear into later. looks like CAI in my near future. and maybe some exhaust.:icon_hyper:

I need to get some HIDs but Im still fighting a misfire too. But I finaly got the ole Jimmy running right and I think I already know the cause of my misfire. Keep it up man. Im trying to basicly rebuild my truck and make it new agian as well.

i knew they were brighter and all. but OMG i love em!





so my updated to do list

fuel spider
antifreeze flush
fuel pump (i want the phantom gas gauge fixed)
high flow cat
new muffler
CAI
(i just read through a lot of the performance posts so for now ill start with this)
PCM tune also
door hinges (have them need installed)
the throttle body(ossibly a bigger one or maybe just teardown and complete cleaning)
EGR valve, (cleaned out already may just change to a new one)
MAF sensor
fix hole in body (former owner had a spotlight mounted to door)
SAS
second battery
remove flex fan and go electric(dual)
high output alternator
red dash light conversion(saw it on tahoe forums)

any other ideas on some mileage boosting tips? this getting close to $4.00 a gallon is killing me.

EDIT ----add on to list..
corvette servo
ls1 swap!

I hear ya on gas prices brother. I got some of mine back after all the work I just did to mine. Next is a CAI and rebuild my exahust (its ghettorigged up right now) and hopefully thatll bring my mpg back up to where it belongs.

thank you sir- my roof rack- its a Valley. gotta good deal on it. ive got sucha huge mods lists its crazy


blazer update, recharged my a/c since i havent replaced my vent selector i had a/c out of my defroster........ but i got to looking at my compressor im glad i got the stuff with leak detector in it. because its leaking right out of the middle of my clutch just barely so i probably just wasted the money on the cans but that ok. make the leak sealer in it will stop it. ...maybe.

another update just put money down money for a house. if you look on the picture it has the little icon on it and on left side of the picture right behind the house is the garage/ with extra room

and (also has plumbing for toilet and shower... but im going to have to add the actual toilet and shower..) in the garage area. i know its not much but it gets me out of my apartment and into a house and it has a shop on the back.



lastly i havent been on much recently because i started a small business- auto-repair/detailing its just a secondary income and having the seperate garage will be good for my lil business thats just starting out - (facebook.com/semperfixit):icon_hyper:
