K, truck is done and feels GREAT!

However, on the test drive, Mr. Mechanic noticed that it sounds like both wheel bearings are bad up front. (He said hub bearings... same thing?) so that explains my grinding... and is one more thing to do.

Yup, it's always been grinding, but I had more important things to deal with, haha. Now that they "are all fixed" I'm moving on.

Pump feels like it fixed my misfire. Truck idles a tiny bit rough, but otherwise feels fine. I can floor it and it'll move just like it's supposed to, etc. I'm happy now.

You'll be spoiled until you have to replace the gas you've burned up, haha.

Drove the blazer around a little today and there is a massive sticking of my throttle body.

I crank my blaze up and the rpm's go up and then come back down whether it is hot or cold. It idles at about 1k and whenever I am out on the open road the throttle seems to stick and it doesn't want to slow down until I put the brake on. When I goto slow down when a stop light is near, it seems to not want to shift down into a lower gear. It is louder than normal because of the high revving issue. I tried to use the 'ole turn ignition on and press the gas pedal all the way down then I tried using the throttle cable and pressing it open and close and open and close. The problem still persists. Ugh... idk what it is. Any ideas? Do you think the sensor went bad?
