I finally went and tried to fix my rear wiper. Turns out the hose inside the car came apart and that is why I saw fluid dripping out of bottom back corner. I also ripped some old wiring out from under the car that the previous owner had left under there. I still dont know what they had hooked up but if I had to guess I would say some lights.

My wiring fix on the F.pump wiring didn't solve the problem with the gauge too long so I got the new pump in today. Working gauge means nuisance things are finally complete, time to start on fun stuff

Thumbs up Replaced the steering box

I have a 2001 Xtreme Blazer that I recently bought. There was slop in the steering. I checked: the rag joint, the tie rod ends, tried adjusting the screw on top of the box to take the looseness out. However the truck wanted to wander when trying to maintain control on the freeway in a straight line. I went to Oreilly's and bought a re-manned steering box and installed it today. I'm happy to report it's cured. Good price I think...$142.99 plus a quart of power steering fluid. Roughly $150.00 total with a life time guarantee.

Pulled a console from a parts yard to put in my 99 LS Blazer, replaced that, put in the cigarette lighter/ash tray, ran my LED GLOW lights under the console with none visible, ran RCA cables and Remote wire from my headunit to the back, replaced foot area bulbs with Red LED bulbs, fitted stereo with aftermarket dash kit, and replaced the factory headlight bulbs with xenon blue/white bulbs. Been a good day

Well I replaced the FPR today (with only my left arm ) and Tigger runs great now, not perfect, but a lot better.
