wait4me performance PCM came today. Threw it in and immediately noticed a smoother idle. After 2.5 minutes evap, o2 heater, o2 and secondary air cleared. egr and cat cleared after a mile. BIG improvement in shift performance. I don't know if I gained any power (probably not) but the shift improvement is phenomenal. 1-2 shift it spins the tires and it's a nice firm direct shift from 2-3.

 

its raining out, so i guess all the salt is washed off it.

 

Balanced and rotated tires. now vibration at 60 is gone. one of my tires (old one thankgod) has some hop to it... getting prepared for road trip...

 

Wet and muddy out and wanted to go play. So I killed 2 birds with one stone and went to the junk yard lol. Picked up my spare tire swing for the back, front bumper and got a full sized aluminum rim to match the ones on the truck (for the spare on the tailgate) all for $140 bucks. All of it looks really nice, no reconditioning needed. Now I hope I didnt pick up any trash in my tires mud runnin in a junk yard.

 

Attempted to fix the passenger side door. Wont open from the outside. found the pin came undone so I tried putting it back in place... 2 hours later I finally got it... damn these large arms... when I went to test it the door opened halfway and it popped out again... I gave up, lol.

 

put in K&N filter today, tune up tomorrow with new plugs, wires and PCV... what else should i change? any other easy stuff?

 

You could go ahead and replace the cap and rotor. Just remember not to over torque the screws.

New Rough Country Upper Control Arms installed and got an alignment today. Rides much much better now. I took off my chrome wheel well guards and plan to paint the chrome on the door guards and rear quarter panels black tomorrow.

 

Headed to the junk yard in search of a rear disc brake set up. Hopefully I get lucky and find one that has it from the factory.

 

i intend to do the same thing ^^^^ cept i know the yard i go to has half a dozen blazers/jimmys with the rear disc setups in them.
