I replaced the windshield washer pump in hopes that that was the problem. Either the junkyard pump I got is broken too or there's another reason it won't spray any washer fluid. Switch on the column maybe?

Default Had a fun morning NOT!!!

Fitted a new fuel filter today, was a very easy job to do but getting the blazer restarted afterwards was a pain in the but, it would crank over but not fire I tried engine start and small amounts of fuel down the throttle body but it took ages fortunately I had installed a new battery at the same time.

I had a friend to help out so I got him to turn ignition on and off while I bled air from the fuel line at the schrader valve (is this normal) just seemed as though fuel pump was not creating enough pressure (and no I do not have access to a fuel pressure gauge.

After my Jimmy died on me, I just replaced the fuel pump and filter. I had to drop the fuel tank while it was still full through the creative use of cinderblocks and 3/4" plywood. It ran better than ever after that, until I got home and realized that one of my lines came loose while I was tearing stuff out and putting it back in. A quick look around brought to the realization that I had sprayed a fair amount of gasoline across a good chunk of my city. Fixed that, so no more BP moments for me!

Busted a hole in my rad I think. Have yet to seek out the damage but I've gone through a jug of coolant limping it home. And every time I stop, there's a puddle under it.

Its on the drivers side near the top but its on the front so I cant see it. It sprayed onto my tire so I now have coolant all in my wheel wells and on the side of my truck

Looks like I got a project tomorrow, along with pulling up my carpet on the pass. side to investigate a wet floor.
