General Chat Chat about all things Blazer (and related vehicles). Off-topic stuff should be in the lounge, and all mechanical problems should be posted in the proper forum.

what have you gotten done on your blazer today?

Got my truck home!!!! Trans feels strong, and somehow my misfire doesn't seem to be nearly as apparent now. I stopped at the car wash on the way home and hit the gas a little too hard on the way out of the parking lot and actually kicked the truck a little sideways!

Normally if I go more than 1/2 throttle the motor bogs, but this time it just revved right up like it's supposed to. Very odd. Needless to say, I'm going to pay very close attention to my throttle now so I know I don't do that again.

It's on the list of things I want/need to get done, but I need to repay my two loans for the transmissions before I can do anything.
