General Chat Chat about all things Blazer (and related vehicles). Off-topic stuff should be in the lounge, and all mechanical problems should be posted in the proper forum.

I just ordered a pair of upper ball joints off of rock auto. My old ones are well past their prime.

Default engine work

got the heads off the engine the left side sucked but there in the shop today wont get them back for a week. got new brush guard in the mail today and all the parts to put engine back together. going to order the lift kit this Friday and decided to replace the Pittman arm and idler arm didnt like the way they looked and with 141000 on the new to me Blazer thought it was a good idea. I am new to this lifting thing and done some research on it. I have decided to go with a 2.5 suspension lift. putting a throttle body plate under the 4.3 tbi not sure how well it will work but wth. new Gibson exhaust comes in next week so i have alot of work ahead of me. if you have any ideas about what i am doing would like the advice

I bet you're looking forward to replacing them!

I haven't checked any front end parts in awhile. I should probably do that lol. I'm getting a little humming from the front and it is hard to tell whether it is the tires making it or the wheel bearings are going out.

So I got some goodies for the blaze. Here is a few pics of what I got lol.

The stuff in the 1st pic is for the cb. 2nd pic is for diffy skid plate bolts.



New bolts for the diffy skid plate too. I only got new bolts for the bracket since I couldn't find any new torx bolts for the other 2 bolts.

make sure you check that coax with a ohm meter should read 50ohms and no short from center pin to outer shield

looking good

My friends and people at work said that I am missing some lights that supposed to show up on the dash when I turn my keys on. Here is the video of it.



This is video of my rpm is bouncing when I am going 45-60 mph.



Is my gas gauge suppose to move when you hit the brake or step on the gas? Here is the video of it.



I have more videos that I will tape it on Sunday when I get back home from up north.
