Just put on enough to cover the filter with a nice thin layer, that will help catch and dirt and dust that may touch the filter.

On another note, today I took my axle shaft down to Inland Empire Driveline and had them remove the old u-joint and install my new one. Went back home jacked the truck up and disassembled the whole front passengers side to take out the old axle shaft and put the other in. Did it all in around 45 minutes and was still on time to pick my brother up for school AND stop for gas Feels good to drive my blazer again for the first time in about 2 weeks.

I yelled at my exhaust some more. Couldn't get my driver side in and it's getting ready to pour so I had to give it up. But I finished the passenger side. Got it hung and my turndown put on it. I'm still thinking about cutting some pipe off to shorten it. Still only have one side of my new lights in... I forgot about those... oops.

Hmm... know what they'd charge for a set from an S-10 Blazer?
not the same as U-Joints.. but I have a set that need some new CVs and a good balancing.

the desert is a tad rough on em.

I put in an overhead console last week. Now I can get lost and tell what temperature it is!!!

Today I'm installing a Sirius satellite in the blazer. It's one of the kind that interfaces with my Kenwood HU so its gonna be nice.

And vacuum and detail it a bit.

Yea I'm not entirely sure. To press out my old u-joint and put the new one I already bought in was only $20 US. Their phone number is (909) 390 3030 and the shop itself is maybe 10 mins tops from my house.
They do mostly deal in driveshafts however but I don't see why they wouldn't be able to do what you need.
