Well it all started about a month ago...

Replaced this:
Then this happened:
So I had to do this too:
And:
Awesome...
A big shout out to an extremely generous member okiedoak20 for the rear and transfer case...
P.S. ...
I haven't been able to separate the two halves of the transfer case yet... Im still working on getting the truck inspection worthy. MD is a Pain!
Truck seems to be 100% better than before.. All smiles at the moment..

The cat is just getting worse and worse...one big piece still left bouncing around. Trying to get the funds to get a new hi-flow cat installed. Need to get it done ASAP before the truck gets real hot if you know what I mean.

Today I had to adjust & tighten all the piping for the supercharger because in the cold they came loose & it ran like chit.
The blazers front DS tire was awfully out of whack & I figured ball joints were shot, then I took a look at the top of the upper control arm... YIKES!
for comparison here's the PS upper control arm
Notice the bends on the crimped edge & all the rust around the rip? The rust is (what I believe) is that the control arm was bent by the previous owner & someone straightened it out. By doing that it flexes the metal of course & that weakens it, so it was only a matter of time.
Tomorrow I'll go to the wreckers & see if I can pull off a good used one.
<EDIT> Damnit I got the pics bassackwards lol
