That reminds me. The bumpstick (camshaft) you said you were using claimed "adjustable valvetrain required". Did you have to change the pushrod length? Or what adjustments did you have to make?

To stay on point with this thread. I replaced my leaking power steering cooler with an aftermarket upgrade.

If your referring to me, i`ve change my mind on the cam for now. Seen other trucks with it done and dont think it will be good for me for a daily drive. Thats for now anyway. And as far as I know stock pushrod length

Hey everyone!

I finally got busy and washed the green winter grime off the wife's '00 Blazer yesterday. All the rain in Western Washington leaves green grime on the vehicles. That, combined with the large amounts of sticky pollen the last couple weeks, coated the Blazer in lots of junk. It sparkles now!

Default Tires and rims

I finally got around to doing this. Broke down the rear wheels and had the beads ground down so the damn things would not leak anymore(or that's what I hope for) and reinstalled the Cooper Discoverer SLT M&S tires re-installed. That was on Thursday. On Friday i had my brand new 235/75/r15 Cooper Discoverer HT tires installed.Again while the wheels were off the beads were ground and sealed. I hope this is going to cure the bead leak.

Now on to the next thing

Regards

Currently in the process of color matching the grille white to match the truck from the OG black. I will post pictures in my build thread when finished.


*edit* Deleted the resonator today, got rid of an annoying rattle from it and cleaned up the back. Was an ugly looking thing.

Went out to local bone yard and picked up the 3/8" pipe that runs from the a/c condenser to the evaporator that has the high side service port(mine is leaking). Actually I picked up 2 just in case. Need to install it now

Picked up a few other odds and ends as well.

regards

Sup peeps.

Well,the v8 swap is at a hault right now. Some bathroom remodeling stole all my extra cash. So, it'll be a month before i can finish that.

But,i did get me a new subwoofer. Alpine R. Im off work this weekend and im headed to the yard to find me some cavalier seats so i can pull my old ones,swap them,install my new carpet,and run my new subwoofer cables etc to the rear and install my new sub/box.

Im also in need of some front door panels (power doors/locks). black or charcoal. None of the yards has any. ebay wants a retarded amount for some.
