Did it grenade on you? I put an Eaton TrueTrac in mine. Wish I would've went for a locker instead though...

I feel your pain! The Blazer looked like it was well maintained. I never want to have to replace a vehicle on a emergency basis. I have a 2000 GMC Jimmy Diamond Edition and I recently installed a G80 locker I pulled from the junkyard.

Haven't seen anyone do this, and probably not necessary, but I wanted my connectors to be better protected from the elements and I couldn't for the life of me find any sort of weatherproofing or "boots" for these things aside from painting them or continually keeping up on them.

This morning while on patrol and having my coffee I had this stupid idea of putting ball joint replacement boots on because I had an "Energy Suspension" brand kit lying around and figured why the hell not. It's as if it was meant to be. Also put a cut of heat-shrink on the base of the antenna to help snug up the boot a little more. This made my day. Haha.

Again probably not necessary but I like the way it looks; and it serves a purpose instead of just being for looks. I ain't one for having something on my vehicles or firearms or anything if it doesn't have a function. I'm already cool so don't need to look it. That's a self-proclaimed coolness however.












Also current set-up that works for me so far. Took him on the freeway for about half an hour yesterday and aside from needing to get rid of engine noise and static I was picking folks up and they were picking me up so work in progress. Ordered a noise filter and just put a bunch more ferrite beads everywhere on the AUX systems and the cb and coax itself and ordered new spark plugs and better spark plug cables with RFI/EMI shielding. That oughta do the trick.

Thats a sweet setup. Your hand doesn't hit the little guy there when shifting?

Obliged. No I always make sure nothing gets in the way of my shifter.

I'd like to know who puts a shifter with 2 cupholders like that. Who at Chevy 1) designed it 2) Who signed off on it and 3) Why do most manual cars have that? My dads 2018 VW Passat TDI is a stick and has the same set up. Stupid design
