gonna replace it before it gets worse


Edit: forgot i took a picture of it today when it was at the city

Dang Gio!

That is one tight spot! I would need a back up camera for that haha.

And to the guy above about the exhaust. Flowmaster 40 or 44's are a good option. So is the 1 chamber flowmaster, magnaflows are good and thrush's are good too. Just personal preference as to how loud and how deep you want it.

Hey, I'm new to the off road world. I don't have much money, but I got a cheap old blazer yesterday to start working on. With little money, I was wondering if I could get in a little mud or whatever if I got just a set of 30's, everything else stock. I'm assuming just a body loft would allow the 30's to fit...

no lift is needed for 30s

do a search you can find what tires fit and what lift you need

Default what have you done

Its actually this whole weekend's project but I changed the timing set out today. Trying to trace down a knock. First did lifters, pushrods, and rockers. So short of replaceing the cam and all the berings/bushings on the crank... Runs and drives real well though. Just noisey when warmed up. but with 205,000 eh.

I took my starter out and it tested good at autozone, so I really did that for nothing. But I did find a part of my starter cable had melted against the manifold and that was probably the cause of my problems. So for now, there is electrical tape on it till i can actually afford a new one.

try some heat shrink over the patch..and tie it off. Should be fine for you.
Thats just what i would try though....as long as the wire itself is fine. Just patch up the shething.

Ok thanks xg, since I'm going with the lift anyway, what size can I go up to if I go with a 3" body lift?
