Changed the spider to MPFI which fixed my cold start problem. Ran about 60 miles on it to go see RUSH in concert.

Had the coolant flushed (to correct a random overheat/no cab heat), new cap and thermostat too. switched to the green coolant (after much research), pulled the egr and seafoamed it (put a gasket under it, it didn't have one on there for some reason). Replaced all six speakers. 3 1/2" 300w on the dash and two sets of 6 1/2" 450w in the doors. Really makes the new deck sound good. Last, I painted the dash speaker grilles to dressup the interior (Red to match the exterior). I'll post some pics when I manage to put this droid down.

Drove to work. Sold my huge 12 subwoofer, took the mono block amp out, drove to a car meet, picked up a drunk friend, and washed the truck today. great day for me and the Blazer. It's much happier now that it isn't being starved for electricity. Battery never dips below 13.4 volts now.... (used to go down to about 11.4 when heavy bass hit) oops
