Got something strange going on .... went out to try and start the Blazer in the afternoon ... fires right up! Then drove it over 100 miles making stops everywhere and it never missed a beat! Hate intermittent problems ... but at least it's running. Another month and she'll be parked anyway.

Fixing to head to a JY to find locking handle. I'm going to see if I can get an older Toyota parking brake cable and handle. Should be rather cheap, and work well.

Why not? It can be done, I did it with 3 relays. Also read a bridge rectifier will do the same thing to keep the stock functions.

Oh it can be done, figured out that the blue wire is a switching ground, wiring it up is not a problem, the design of the housing is really stupid and I dont feel like cutting today.

stay away from that, will only create more problems. Get it fixed the right way.

Flooded my driver side floor pan. Tried to find the broke hose for the rear wiper sprayer. Found one under the hood fixed it and tried a couple times. Started dripping from inside was broken again right behind brake pedal. The flaws in the design of the s10 blazer are astounding!

Ah ok, yes not much room to work with. Superfluxes are a tight fit. You should still complete them one day so you can have all led's on that beast.

Hopefully over next few weeks I can:
swap out rad support with modded one for forward mount rad
install tranny cooler
intreprid fans
maybe swap fenders & inners
work on making a proper cai setup
(waiting on summit for) coil, cap, rotor, plugs, wires to finally change those
