You did reset the preload on the tensioner right?

 

Yeah I went ahead and just replaced it with a new one along with all 7 new pulleys

 

bought my 99 stock in fall of 07 for $3600. Havent added up receipts lately but i know im over the 20k mark. I've done every repair and mod myself too.

 

Way too much for something I cant even drive yet,around $2300-$2500.I wish I would have never bought this $ pit.

 

Bought mine for 5,000 with 100k on it, then....
body lift (lucky c-list deal) 50.00
Set of 31's 500.00
Leather seats 125.00
Alternator 125.00
Radiator 100.00
Suspension lift 1900.00 (including all tweeks)
Camaro wheels 100.00
flares and wheel spacers 200.00
Set of 33's 700.00
Used tranny 150.00
And various routine maintenance things....who knows

I have put 135k on her so grand total of 235k or so seems worth it, esp when most expenses are me modding.
I would by another blazer in a heart beat.

 

Yea that is the stuff. Back in the day we use to joke about muffler oil. Someone would have a squeak or noise under their vehicle & we would say, "when was the last time you checked you muffler oil?" They would look at you. We go off laughing.
Sounds like I'm in line with the money deal. Feel better now. I could add about $58,000 to what I have spent & have a muffler oil burning truck LOL.
