General Chat Chat about all things Blazer (and related vehicles). Off-topic stuff should be in the lounge, and all mechanical problems should be posted in the proper forum.

Popped the hood to track down possible causes of my P0171 and P0174 codes after installing the K&N intake last weekend. Found the problem pretty quick. Guess I got into a hurry during the install :P

Lucky you. Been chasing those same codes for months. No closer now than I was then.

Added some touch-up clear-coat to where it seemed to be peeling a bit at the bottom lip of where the filler hose attaches to the rear fender. I hope this catches it before it peels any further.

Tuesday, free check up on a recent alignment to get the steering wheel centered.

Just installed my rebuilt drivers door panel on my 01. Also found a pair of pewter blazers at the boneyard, from which I pulled a grill that was in perfect condition. Installed that as well. 😁👍

Yeah that one was my goof up, at least nothing was broken I guess :P


Today after work I got a set of "road-trip" wheels and tires ready. Got some 2000'ish Camaro 16" wheels that I'm going to paint black, mounted some 245/75/16 Mickey Thompson Baja STZ's on them and some balancing beads (my newest most favoritest find ), and I'll bring them home some time this week. If weather permits I'll clean them up and paint them this weekend.

No pics right now but they're these wheels




And these tires






Last time I took a 3 hour drive with my MT's installed and they beat the crap out of me lol so I'll use these when I decide to take the 'ol girl on a road trip longer than an hour or so. They're a LOT less aggressive so they're behave nicely on the road, but they're not wimpy looking street tires either at least. I think they'll serve their purpose well
