Had the transfer case and front differential fluid changed at a local shop in my 2000 GMC Jimmy Diamond Edition.

Put my aftermarket taillights back on with the Osram LED's. Had to solder the harness back to the Blazer.


Old pics of the original isntall, but get's the point across... I took them off when I let the mother in law borrow the Blazer, but now that I have it back I decided to reinstall them

Looks good. I take it you didn't trust the mother-in-law not to bust them out. :P

LOL well, yes that a little, but mostly if a bulb were to burn out, I'd rather her have been able to run to any parts store and grab a 3157 bulb instead of one of these LED modules

Re-did the 4-high mod today after work. APPARENTLY I used too small of a gauge of wire last time, and well, yeah that wire didn't hold up lol. So I ran a wire twice a thick lol.

Also tossed in the LED high beam bulbs I had laying around while I was in there. Already had LED's in the low beams. Different color temp, but no biggy.

And most of all, tossed on my old 24" LED bar that I ALSO had laying around... I know I know... Just tied it into the high beam circuit.

Just prepping the truck for our upcoming Hurricane this weekend here in "sunny" Florida... Also broke out the straps and D-rings and tossed them in the back.

I had a leaking gas tank that would leak fuel when the tank got full. I had a local shop investigate the leak and it turned out that the lock ring tabs for the fuel pump housing were all rusted off except for one. The shop was able to locate a used plastic tank with solid lock ring tabs. Since the tank was already pulled I had them install a new pump assy. This was on my 2000 GMC Jimmy 4dr 4wd Diamond edition. Note: The 4 door plastic tank is not available from anyone new. All the tanks you can find are either a 2 door tank or a 4 door steel tank up to 1998 model year.

Default Fan clutch

Installed fan clutch today. Bought it on eBay for $42. Works perfectly. Can definitely tell a difference as there seems to be more of a load on the engine now and it's a lot noisier. But my temp gauge doesn't vary by more than a few degrees now. I'm satisfied.
