Welcome to the world of the s-series GM products.

 

Today a friend of mine replaced my front pads,cleaned/adjusted my rear drums and swapped my cap/rotor. All of it for 60 bucks labor in his shop. Totally fair.

 

You did not do that yourself?
We are no longer friends.

 

Gonna need you to turn in your man card along with all of your dignity (if you have any left) as well please!































Haha jk I paid a shop to bleed my kids brakes the other day after I installed new brake lines. That was only because I didn't have easy access to a scan tool to do the electronic abs bleed procedure tho.

 

Well I had to replace my Jimmy due to a collision , so this is my new truck....I posted about doing front end and brakes but never posted a photo.

 

The last two days.
Day one Changed the VSS vehicle speed sensor. Trans was not shifting ABS light was on. Then I changed the fluid in the rear axel.
Day two today. I dropped the transmission pan changed the fluid and gasket. What a friggin mess. The trans pan was clean 320K on the trans . Next time I am getting a drain plug.

 

dont bother, your good 320,000 more

 

Haha. Man I havent had the energy to do that stuff right now. Getting sick again with my iron issues and blood pressure.


So. remember them wheels i got a while back?
(15" American racing torque thrust II) They are at the detail shop getting polished/waxd.
Heres a online pic of one.



Should i run em on the blazer or flip em for profit? Im driving myself nuts on the decision.

 

For me it would depend on how much I could get for them. If not much, I'd run 'em.

Those look like a modern version of the Cragar S/S - always loved those in the day.

 

After a day of fighting with my wife's Explorer spark plugs yesterday (it's worse than just having to disconnect the steering shaft!) I decided to check over the Blazer. You know fluids, tires, etc. just adding in some oil , not paying attention and dripped oil down the side of engine and manifold. Sprayed with degreaser and rinsed trying not to hit anything important. Well it wouldn't start...
Figured I just got something wet and let it sit over night. Still wouldn't start the next morning. Only had time to check the dizzy, it was dry. Time to break out the back up car.
At lunch it still wouldn't start.
No spark but the IC tested as working so I'm thinking coil since the body wiggles inside the coil itself. Great...coil is original and riveted in so it had to wait till after work.
Grabbed coil at O'Reilly's, ground down the rivets and put in new coil. Cleaned the cap an rotor... YES! Fired right up!
Later I noticed a wet spot under the old coil on the workbench.

Oh, what's the backup car? Well have a look...
