That sucks.

 

I was workin on a reply but Internets crashed so you get the short version this time....
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..

 

Haven't been doing nothing with my Blazer at all. Can't drive around with no heat at all.

 

Ready for Christmas, yes I am one of those.

 

Last night I took my hids and harness out to get replaced.

 

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

 

^^Wow That's not cool!

Got Quad beam and HIDs now!

 

Be cool to see night pics.
Yeah & I don't have any metric combination wrenches in the right sizes today. But I did pick up a new control arm complete with bushings & the ball joint.

 

Few more pics from today. You can see the bushings are shot too, no real surprise there lol
