Went out to my blazer today and installed my stinger volt meter along with my pioneer head unit. Everything went well except now my rear wiper doesn't work. I will get to trouble shooting it later. Hopefully the rain will stop.

found my water leak, seems the passenger side rear door seal looks good... but leaks like a sieve... anyone order bulk weatherstrip and replace it instead of pricy precut stuff?

Well $250 later and I have a new battery installed and my hids (55w 8000k) and h4 sealed-beam conversion lamps are ordered. That was an expensive hour.

Yesterday she got new rear breaks. And cleaned up front breaks too. Then that night at autozone I found a d- ring shackle for 15bucks.

Hi everyone.

New member here.

"WOW" I'm very happy to have found this forum for these vehicles. A "virtual" mountain of information at my fingertips.


Today I cleaned up all parts to put back together my right front hub assembly on my 96 LS. Had to replace steering knuckle too. Was fortunate to get a complete hub assembly from the wreckers for 50 bucks.

Now i do have a question though if anyone can answer it? I hope I can ask here? If not then straighten me out from the get go.

There is a seal that needed and I am replacing where the CV joint goes through the steering knuckle (on the steering knuckle) which is coming tomorrow. I also noted there is a seal in the hub assembly for the bearing(s?) Is it possible to remove this seal, grease the bearings and install a new seal or am I better off leaving well enough alone?

Thank you peoples.
