Checked the DS ABS Sensor AGAIN, seems to have over 400 mv & that's the dirty one. Clean side came back as 0 but I tried 10 times to make sure the probes contacted. Maybe they didn't but I'm betting the PS sensor is fubar.
I love my truck! Honestly I do lol

WELL.... been a busy week, and hadn't had a computer to update. BUT I think you might like the results

I changed my own oil. Was a little over due but had all highway miles. topped off my antifreeze and found the holy grail (for me at least) on craigslist.

I couldnt believe my eyes when I saw the ad. I had been looking for these before I even had my blazer! what are they you ask? A set of ZR5 rims. in AMAZING condition! And if ANYONE is lucky enough to find a set, they are rarely in good condition, and when they are they cost a pretty penny. I got a set of 4 (missing one center cap) for the low price of $80.

Got them mounted on my Mickey's for only $60 (buy 3 get one free at autotire)

BUT while in in the shop they informed me uf my bad pitman and idler arm, and I needed a new belt... so $550 later I was out with a good looking and buch happier running truck!

I LOVE THEM!!!


Before:


After: (no caps)

HcHawks those are some nice wheels ya got! Good condition and everything!


On a different note, does anybody know where to get center caps for wheels? Is eBay the best bet? I need 17 inch center caps.

Drove to the YMCA to lifted weights, back home, then to work. After work I drove back home but had to stopped at the gas station to filled up gas then to home. Check my gas mileage for my Blazer found out now I am getting 15 mpg in the city with my 95 S10 Blazer . Was getting 13 mpg around the city before.

Yeah, that glue caused some of my paint to chip and be like a patch of sand paper.
