I am heading to the yard to get a new ac compressor and napa for a new tensioner. checked the belt bc the ac was making noise. belt cracked up a bunch. in the process realized the clutch was shot. replaced belt and the tensioner began to act up. love that gm quality!

Did you know that if you put a backup camera on the front, you get a mirror image on the monitor? L is R and R is L. Disconcerting.
So I probably won't be relying on the IR lights to drive around in total darkness with this.
On the other hand, I've played enough video games with weird settings that I could probably convince my mind that the controls are reversed ... eventually

It's not that difficult. I teach Taekwondo and the instructors always have to do the steps and movements like a mirror image of the student. I'm sure the same concept could be applied here

Well tonight I found yet another spark plug wire that is arcing against the engine. That's 2 out of 7 wires on the blazer that need replacing now. (I'm including wire from the coil to distributor cap hence the 7 and not 6 ) I'll be ordering replacements sometime next month because $$ is tight right now.

Later today planning on replacing a belt, cleaning the inside & out, and trying to fix the ABS and Brake light that stay on.
