I watched the snow melt off my Blazer today for the first time in I don't know how long. Unfortunately, we have more snow coming in a couple of days. First time since October that the drive is free of snow/ice. At least this time of year the snow melts off fast.

I just SeaFoamed it again. It still makes a smoky mess.

I am wondering how long I should let it sit for...

So. Tonight, while at work, and with a new screw securing the hat. On a whim, I reset the ECU (Scan Tool "Erase Codes"..)

... and it almost feels like a new truck.

I will know when I get off the highway...

Noticed this morning my temp gauge only coming up to the first mark on the gauge. Live scanner confirmed, only getting up to about 160. Looks like I'll be doing a thermostat soon, as apparently the one in it now has stuck open...

Better failed open then closed I guess!

Kinda sucks because that means I'll be replacing the lower intake too (which I already have a spare to install) because last time I did the thermostat, one of the bolts grabbed the threads in the cast lower intake on the way out and destroyed it, and it's literally held together with one bolt and a small C-clamp right now. Been that way for almost 5 years and never failed, leave it to the actual thermostat to fail and not my red-neck patch job lol

All of you putting me to shame. I've done nothing to my blazer as of late. Did pick up a new toy to play with around my community here near the lake. Tinkering with it some but that does not count. Oh and photo or didn't happen so ...



2013 EzGo Rxv Gas. Picked up March 7, 2020

It's nice enough to be fun and with this lockdown one of the few things can do along with taking my boat to the launch and going fishing. Weather been great and real happy so far with our move here from last September.

Those wheels and tires would look good on my old Saturn that has 4 lug wheels
