Finally sold the condenser off the '00 Jimmy ... after having it on Craigslist for over 3 years.

I picked up two Jeep steering shafts at the Salvage yard yesterday,@$10 per, one for the Blazer (Grand Cherokee,D shaped) and one for my '77 VanDura 4x4. (Cherokee Sport,splined) Incidentally, they both came from red trucks ! I will wait until I do a radiator fan swap to install the shaft. I am still searching for good Intrepid fans. P.S. I pulled the air box and the bolts for the steering box to make removal easier (3 16mm bolts) & 2 13mm connection bolts. Keep on Truckin'

Yesterday I accidentally put 7 gallons of 93 octane in my '01 blazer before I noticed that I hit the wrong button on the pump & it's running like crap now. Motor surges when driving & it won't idle at stop lights. The exhausts fumes are brutal too. I just hope it doesn't kill my cat converter.

That's what I did to my blazer. LOL

Yeah, I topped it off with 87. I calculated it to be around 91 octane. Need to burn a few more gallons so I can top it off again.
Trying to make short trips to burn it off. It doesn't do it when the engine is warming up as bad.
