I've had a RockAuto.com E-Gift certificate for quite awhile, I couldn't come up with anything that needed replacement on my Blazer so I decided to blow the E-Gift certificate on a couple parts that I've never had to replace through the years, they were still original equipment. I purchased a Mass Airflow Sensor and a Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor, I also purchased an air filter to go with the new MAF.
The package was delivered today while I was at work. I put the parts on this evening, then took it for a drive around the block and parked it back in the garage.

Default Temperature Slider

Had to reconnect the temp slider this afternoon on the heater control assembly on my 89 S15 Jimmy.

In addition to the troubleshooting on my '92 GMC Vandura I've also been redoing the a/c on my '98 Jimmy. I installed a new compressor, new accumulator, new variable orifice tube, and a new evaporator since the lead pipe of the old one twisted right off of the old one. Since I'm going to be driving the Jimmy quite a bit while my Buick navigates the insurance repair system I figured I might as well get the cold air blowing again!

Default Had AC Leak Fixed

My 2000 GMC Jimmy was leaking Freon from the high side port along with the fan clutch being faulty. I had the AC shop repair the leak and replace the fan clutch. All is cold now.

passenger blinker decided to be stuck on when the parking lights were on, but work when they were off. I have the custom built switchbacks, Looked in the housing, no moisture, so its not the board... So I took off the grille and remembers that I left a bulb in the side marker light. Took that bulb out and all is well.

that happened to me when I bought the pickup. The bulb shorted out funny how I caught onto it when the blinker stayed lit on the cluster.

The switchbacks I made for the jimmy do not like bulbs being in the side markers.. at all, so if there is a problem with the bulb, or a bulb is in there that is not perfect, they get all messed up.

Going to fix that by running wires from the PWM that controls the rear tails up to the side markers.
