Not too much. Put about 60Km on her. Noticed my GF forgot her pop in the cupholder after i told her not to, it expanded and filled both cupholders. But its only the rubber part, so i can toss it in the dishwasher.

Seafoamed mine for the first time today. Just did the intake and the PCV line. Added gumout fuel system cleaner to the tank, and redid my Amps ground wire with a street wires ground terminal.
On a side note, replaced my moms ford focus headlight assemblys with new ones. Only took about 40 minutes to change lamps, but took the same amount of time to change the bulbs about a year back. If anyones seen the headlight on a focus, you know what I mean, ford actually reccomends removing the headlight assembly to change the bulbs.

Put on new shocks and brake pads. Much needed considering I don't think either has ever been replaced lol. When I got my Blazer the oil looked like molasses...

We'll see it's a rocky biotch around here. I may wait til we topsoil the job and then go mudding. LOL. I can get away with that 'cause I then get to spend some seat time on the D6R, fixing grade... Much better than riding herd on the crew.

So I finally took the 94 Blazer to get the required state inspection (Texas) and it passed everything EXCEPT (you knew there would be one of those, didn't you?) the catalytic converter is bad (about triple the emissions max (NOx). Had to order one and it'll be here Monday. What is really ironic is that on the way home from the failed inspection, the SES light came on. I'm a poor boy withoit a scan tool so I pulled the codes using the "paperclip method" except I have a little tool that the previous owner keft me. It's for jumping the the ALDL for GM OBD 1 and also for the ABS. Spaced just right. Got a code 13. O2 sensor time. At least there was only one. What a money pit! But it sure is fun. It's now down to the Blazer or me. Still don't know which one will win yet. About to kill me. The right fender is rusted out pretty bad under the battery. I did a search of salvage yards I git off one of the posts in the forum (don't remember which one but it's in my favorites now) and actually found one locally. It matched the color and even the trim and the paint was just as faded as mine. I'm not going to have to repaint at all. Even had the same trim decal as mine. Boy, did I luck out! I had replaced the rear bumper, license plate frame and filler piece and the gray trim paint for that stuff was almost $20.00 a PINT! That didn't include the activator either. Does anyone know why my wife might be pissed?

is yours the Z or W engine? i know the Z O2 is waaaaay more expensive thab the W (like almost triple). or at least it used to be.

as for the wife, they're just jelious that we spend more time with the truck than them. not really sure if i enjoy it more though............hahahaha!

put my 4th tank of fuel in my Blazer since Thursday (last night). yes i know, i drive alot.

still need to change the after cat O2-maybe i'll actually get around to it this week while i'm off.
