so i sold the trans for 200. the guy that bought it was really cool. he had an old jeep project that he sold and now is starting another tube frame chassis. a really cool dude if you ask me. he wheels at the cliffs insane terrain all the time and the badlands as well. also the genoa city mud bog. anyways he has a website all about his jeep called tirespeed.com check it out if any of you guys get a chance.

 

I ran my bike out of gas today. So I had to walk home and get my blazer and a gas can and go rescue it. That involved driving to it, riding it home, and walking back to pick up the blazer. Good thing it was only 1-2 miles from my house.

 

i got it from the local junkyard so idk might be factory.

 

What´s your definition of a clown car? As my Blazer has no digital, but analog gauges (without RPM).... I feel good with adding analoge ones in a similar colour. Additional I got exhaust temp, vakuum, AFR and a 2nd oil temp for transmission oil, landmeter an outside temp. All useful too I think.... Ok, maybe exhaust temp not, but I needed something to get the triple holder complete ;-)

 

i changed a pump on my 89 s10,many moons ago.
i remember confirming the fuel pump being bad bye checking a pig tail wire located center behind the engine on the fire wall.
did the r/r in the driveway where it quit,labor job ,not very technical.
went thru 3 gas tanks in that dog through out its life....RUST

 

luckily my tank has no rust on it at all. still shiny new aluminum it almost looks like but i know its steel. anyways im going out there in a few to try and put the tank back up there. sucks that its got a half tank full of gas. but its nice that its kind of warmer outside. that way i dont need to have any kind of heater on. couldnt do that anyways with gas fumes all around... shouldnt be that long putting it back in. then im changing the oil on my fathers cherokee. 282k miles on the thing and still running strong.

 

Thanks for reminding me - filled up this morning. I pretty much totally ignore the gas gauge and go by mileage, but last time I just tossed $20 in there and it threw off my calculations. 14 gallons, so I guess I wasn't in any danger.
It'll drop down to 1/2 pretty fast, then stay there for a hundred miles, then suddenly show empty for a bit, then 1/4 for 50 or so, then the light will come on with the needle below E, then above E with no light, then back below E, which I've decided means I have 4-5 gallons still in the tank.

Also put in a bottle of oil treatment as it was half a quart low. And a bottle of injector cleaner in the tank.

 

does anybody know if that vent hose in the front of the gas tank is important? like if i leave it disconnected if it will throw any codes... i broke the nipple off in the hose and im just trying to figure out if its important or if i could rig something up to attach it.

 

Priced out blower motors from amazon, rockauto and Autozone. Looks like 'zone and rockauto are about the same price, but autozone has them in stock.

I have a date on Saturday and the heat still works (just starting to make lots of noise like the bearing is going bad) so I'll see how much I spend on Saturday, and if there's anything left over I'll fix this, haha

 

hey random. wanna borrow the k5 for the date? youll look like a real man then. lol.

oh and the blazer is back up and running again. looks like it was the pump. glad i got it back together and that the weather was nice for me. phew....
