Does any one with a 97 and up 4x4 blazer 4dr have a top view picure of the engine while in the blazer or can some one take one and posted it pretty plz?

 

What are you looking for? Try the search on here. It seems like I have seen some.

 

im looking for where 3 vacume lines go and ive looked at diagrams that i could find but didnt see what im looking for.. its 3 vacume lines that come off the right side of the intake plemium if your standing in front of it and i cant remember where they go before i pulled my engine and i figured i would be better off with a pic if any one could supply one

 

one should go to the brake booster. that would be the bigger one.
one should go to a tee fitting and from there go to the inside of the truck and to the cruise control and maybe a vacuum ball.
and i think that the other should go to the 4x4 transfer case.

im not 100% on the routing for all these but it might give you an idea on where they need to be. i hope it helps and i hope that someone who knows for sure will come by and correct anything that i have incorrect.

 

so i got all my vacume lines hooked up and notice i forgot to put the oil dip stick tube on before i dropped the motor back in... any one have any tricks geting it in or will i have to pull the motor back in

 

Is it a push in press fit? Bevel the end of the tube on the outside edge. This will keep a burr from bending the end of the tube. If you have a rolled ridge where it fits against the block, wiggle it as far in as possible. Then use a really long screw driver or chisel and a hammer to drive the ridge down until it seats flat on the block opening. It should pop right in. However, I've put numerous stick tubes in over the hyears, I've never tried it on a 4.3 so I'm not sure about clearance.

 

Its got a rolled ridge and its not a straight tube so ill try the screw driver and hammer in the morning

 

tried to get it on with the screw driver and hammer and still wont go in more then 1/8th of a inch

 

Is this the original tube or a new one? If the old one broke off, the new one won't go in until you remove the piece of the old one. You did clean the outer edge of the metal so it doesn't catch didn't you?

 

Its the original and no it didnt break off.

i recently did a rebuild on the motor and after i got it back in and bolted every thing back up i looked in the back of the blazer where i put all the parts and saw i forgot the dip stick tube in....
