what have you gotten done on your blazer today?
Did the tranny service last night. Did not look to bad a little bit of crap around the magnet but for never being done before it was not all that bad. removed pan drained fluid and replaced filter/gasket and fluid.
Also, have received the over-sized hinge bushings from total automotive. I guess now the next step is to drill out the holes and replace them
Happy trails

I got an estimate to add padding ( lumbar support ) to the drivers seat for $185 last week. I decided to do it myself and added a seat heater for less $$. I used these items http://www.rostra.com/pdf/Rostra-Sea...talog-2014.pdf and repaired the broken support rods in seat too ! ( the source of my problem ) I removed the seat and took it indoors in the A/C to work on it. Very easy to do,no hog nose pliers required ! I'll wire it up when the temp comes down some.100+or- here !! P.S. The 5 position switch actually has 10 settings which beats the heck out of high or low !191,100

Whats bad is i dont have a spare so i limped it to work this morning trying to think where the heck am i going to find a new 15" on a sat morning. thankfully a shop down the road had some.

@ 215,000 miles I figured the Silver Mullet needed better front brakes. So, Rockauto delivered 'Power Stop' slotted rotors, HD brake pads and RH & LH AC Delco calipers. I installed everything yesterday and disconnected the flaky ABS. When I push on the brake pedal, I expect my machine to submit to my will, dammit!!

New windshield and wiper blades. There's an honest little glass shop in Pontiac called City Glass that I go to whenever a cop tells me to get a windshield. Cops ask, "How long has your windshield been broken"? I say, "years and years, see how the crack keeps changing direction". Age and wisdom has caught up with me and $165 is better than wondering if every cop I see is bored enough to hassle me. Caught a funky glue buzz from the fumes on my way home. Living the dream boys!

Ordered front and rear pads for the TB. The fronts are starting to squeak a bit and I do not know when the rears were last done so I figured I would do both. (nice to have disc in the rear instead of drum brakes)
I ordered it all from rockauto. Local stores were trying to charge 35 for just the fronts for the same brand. Got the front and rears with hardware shipped 1-2 days for 41$
