Now that I have my projects lined up, waiting for cash to cover them, I'm ordering a grille shell, tail pipes, (muffler back) with fittings, trying to pop out my rear quarter dent, wire up my fog lights, install a new blower motor. I have my eye on 20" Tahoe wheels (5 spoke with flat edges) wanting to put my own custom paint on them, and of course, the H2 spare carrier. The last 2 will have wait for now. Post and pictures will follow.

 

Changed out my cap and rotor this afternoon. I have been getting horrible gas mileage so I am hoping that its going to make a difference.

 

Coolant system flush. HOLY NASTY, BATMAN!

 

Went to change the plugs, and there are nearly brand new AC Delco plugs in there.

Looks like my sputtering must be caused by something else.

Also replaced my third brake light.

 

Started sanding down the blaze tonight. Going to prime it tomorrow. Question is grey or flat black? hmm

 

changed the oil today, checked the front diff oil level and put a manual valve in the vaccum line going to the acutator for the front axle. i normally just unhook and plug it for the non-winter months. (vac switch stuck on) but after being stuck in a muddy parking field in 90+ degree weather and having to pull the battery to have 4wd, i decided id like to have a better way of disableing the front axle while still being able to quickly turn it back on if some freak situation requires it. was sure to show the wife too, i know she couldnt have pulled the battery and hooked the acutator back up that weekend, but she can turn a air valve. eventually i'll either put a posi-lock on or run the valve and lines into the drivers area. right now the valve is beside the battery under the hood. if it wasnt for the 2 mpg fuel milage penalty, id just leave it be a "live axle" all year long like i do in the winter.

 

...hmmm...

...trying to get a sticker for my 2001 Jimmy...just got done replacing the Pitman arm and idler arm, oil pump-to-remote filter lines, serpentine belt, rear brake lines and rear tires...only to have the 'check engine' light come on for that P0440 code...

 

replaced reclining handles on both front seats with After-market replacements from eBay. work GREAT!

 

Me and my dog spent the day cleaning and polishing the Blazer, between rain showers of course, It's Oregon summer.
