well lets see... today was the upper control arm bushings - both sides, bearing hub assy. - both sides, pitman arm (had the parts already for the bearings & pitman arm) & had the brakes bled... nice $524 bill for my bday lol

next will be a front end alignment because of the work done today, find out the source of the ground out or maybe it's a messed up oil pressure sending unit - stays maxed out all the time

thnx man
eeeyup, that's how I feel about it, got the creeking & annoyances over & done with, just an alignment now & it's good (knock on wood lol)
buddy that owns the shop I took it too said there's a new suspension upgrade for late model blazers... includes a dana 44 front axle, adaptors so the front hubs can still be used but on the dana 44. It's a 6" suspension lift
the $$$ on that could cause premature heart failure I'm sure lol. I'm thinking around $6K give or take

Tore the right front door apart. Replacing window motor and switch. Also replacing the lock cylinder. Now all locks take one key. When I bought the truck there were 3 different keys to open doors, back glass and glove box. One side was black and the other side was chrome. Now all black. You just can't fit 4 keys inside a Hide-A-Key box no matter how hard you try.

Replaced the plugs with some AC Delco Professional Platinum 41-993's.
Easy as heck with the 3" BL & the forklift at work :P
I asked a salesman here when he told me the $18.03 price for them if that was at least for a pack of 2. He said NO, each because they're platinum. OMFG passssss
Online I found rockauto.com, $68.01 USD delivered incl. $24 delivery to Canada.
Thats a $40 saving & no taxes

for sure man, a real axle upfront, a 44 should do it, a 60 might be overkill as opposed to the rear axle
plus all the aftermarket goodies! boooyaaa i am there! lol
but that '92 blazer that was listed for sale in Ont looks nice & a 350 ta boot!
