x2 on that i put my father in charge of ordering my fuel pump back in january and he ordered a cheap aftermarket pump, so now just 8 months later he had to fork out 800 bucs to have the Delco pump put in. i could have done the work myself but i figured make him pay to have someone do it since he didnt bother ordering the right pump in the first place.

Problems with my B-Laser

Hi All, this is my first post. Most of it's been covered. But here's the problems I've had with my 4X4 Blazer w/ 250K New Jersey miles on it:

- Badly leaking oil filter relocator hose
- Busted idler pulley (rusted through then failed)
- Front doors are about to fall off...and there's some weird black tar looking stuff under them???
- Power windows are slow as hell
- Power locks are about to fail...they're not traveling as much as they used to
- Have to really slam the back glass to get it to latch
- Had to drop the whole gas tank to replace the sending unit due to terribly rusted lines (and the front two strap bolts were rust-locked...so I just took the back two out and bent the **** out of them, letting the tank slide out the back)
- The exhaust is a straight-pipe because of high corrosion up North.

The girlfriend likes it...

yes. clean the terminals. alcohol and an eraser, shine up the ends good, and grease with conductive grease. should get you back in the game. You can also score a switch at a junkyard for like $2....
