Last night I replaced the plugs, wires, cap, rotor and air filter. Also looked at my oil leak. Seems like it's the oil pan gasket instead of the rear main seal.

The main reason I did the switch is because I couldn't find a damn stock grille for that front end style, haha.

Default Fixed power door for driver side

When I purchased the little 4 door s10 blazer 1 year ago. The switch and power door lock on the driver side wouldn't work. I volted out the wires to the power lock relay and found I had at least 2 broken wires someplace. Today I dug into the wires starting from inside the door and moving down to the rubber boot between the door and the body. Sure enough 3 broken wires. I got it almost back together before it started raining cats and dogs. I got the wire back together and the boot back on so I could close the door. That is about it.

Picked up firebird electric fans for $14. Going to hard wire them today with a relay and switch till I get a proper fan controller.

Actually a shop I used to work at has one for me. Forget the name, but cheaper and far better quality then flexlite. I just dont wanna wait 2 days to pick it up...lol

**holy s***... $100 for that!? I would have thought it would be cheaper in the states. I think mines like $45, adjustable like 160-240 degrees and goes into a the engine not the rad...
Ill try to dig it up...


Here it is...

We had a lot of issues on several customer cars using the flexlite controller. Went to the Derale one, and hhavent had issues with it. Just seems flexlite quality has dropped drastically over the years for the price you pay for them.
