Default What did you do to your blazer the 1st day you got it.

For me,it didnt run. got it for a few Benjamins. first thing i do to ANY car i buy is get the title transferred etc. I wanna make sure everything legally is set before throwing money into it. Issue Ended up being a fuel pump. Installed a pump. got it running and Did that and tune up. You?

Slapped a "POW-MIA Lest they be forgotten" sticker on the rear window. Doesn't really stand out on that tint, but that goes on my vehicles even before an NRA sticker

Then read the owners manual, all the included paperwork one more time (especially the implied warranty on the new transmission, had to make sure it really did transfer from the previous owner) and looked under the hood to get familiar with the layout.

Pretty boring, but it got checked out by a mechanic first and didn't need any work for almost a full week.
