SOLD TODAY!!

Been a good run. Lots of blood, sweat, and $$$$$$$$. Part of me will miss it, but it was time to pass the torch. She lives on in another part of Massachusetts. Guy drove it over an hour back to his house.

Memories!

Last week I got a 0420 code for rear O2 sensor,ordered a new one from the net and replaced it. I had previously replaced both bank 1 & 2 upstream sensors about 5000 miles ago when I first got the Blazer and started to do the maintenance that had been ignored. SES is out again !

You need a new transfer case seal - tranny fluid from the transmission is filling the transfer case to the brim. Ask me how I know this! Your entire vacuum system is now full of tranny fluid.

I always wondered where all my tranny fluid was going, with not a single leak ...

You'll have to drill and drain your vacuum canister too, then seal the hole back up before re-installing.

One of a long, long list of issues I had with that Jimmy in my avatar ...
