Yup, 2WD wheels are designed to stick out further, so you'd need spacers to get a look similar.

so new radiator in ..jump started . and took off cables and it instantly died my battery is only like 3 months old.........and even with a second jumpstart the volt meter on the dash registered NOTHING. it didnt move. and my multimeter decided to quit........ soi cant even tell if the alternator was doing anything at all..

i did just pull my dash and swap the vent selector...... but my battery died me running the stereo and all that do i hsfnt started it after i replaced the vent selector..... i plugged in my quick starter and turn the blower on to make sure it was coming out of the right vents... any idea anyone ?? trying to get this fixed so my preggo lady can drive it ........ never had alternator problems before BTW

Did you change the whole assembly or just the pump? Just asking because if you didn't replace sending unit as well I've been told it'll give false readings. Money currently does that. Usually at 200 miles I'm at about 1/8 tank but if I fill up at that time it only takes 12ish gallons. So next time you fill it up check how many gallons it took. And go from there

update, new brakes and rotors and one wheel hub, plus figured out why abs light was on.... my abs cable was sitting out away and got rubbed on by tire all the way thru one wire so just rewired hadnt got to test drive yet

aalsooo added a support leaf to each side.,

OHH and I fixed my rear defroster. (the contacts were off the solder before i even got the truck, id a bit of spot soldering around edges..the i stuck soldering iron in middle of the contact and pressed till it got hot and it just moved all they way to make good contact. well test that out soon too.

couple of pics of my blazer and my shop... its a mess but its nice to work out of the weather now...
