yep i put an delco one last time ...

it needs the coil since its leaking. I hope I dont need an other ICM


Edit: Its only warranted 30 days from rock auto since it was wholesale close out... I emailed ac delco to see if they can work any thing out with me .

You can save yourself alot of $ with the advance auto ones. The real question is how long do you plan on keeping it for? If you want to drive it another 14 years I'd spend the extra money for the MOOG. If you want to get by for the next 4-5 years go with the cheaper ones.

Today I replaced the 4x4 actuator cable (previous one snapped), replaced broken rear-view camera (under warranty), and replaced the lift glass button on the rear gate. Then I had to "confirm" the 4x4 was working.

I got my trailer hitch in the mail yesterday and when i just went to freshen it up with some new paint I found that the receiver hitch is rusted in and it ain't coming out! On top of that the ball that is mounted to it is stripped and that ain't coming out either. And if that isn't bad enough there is a hole rusted in the bottom of the tube. None of which I was told before sending the money for the hitch!! I'm just a little upset right now.

I'm sorry to hear that man.

I took the bottom of my dash apart today to try to find an elusive vac line that I'm not sure my blazer came with.

Well, that used to be the case. Nowadays, Moog is hit or miss. I've got a set up Moog uppers and lowers in the Blazer. The uppers are smoked ... and they only have 10k miles on them. I use Amsoil grease, and grease every 5k miles. The only good part about this is they have a lifetime warranty .... and at least it wasn't the lowers. Got about a year out of this set ...

I once had a set of chinese ones in my old '94 K1500. I got 7 months out of those. At least that was before the 1 year warranty ...

Sad part is, Moog is about the best you can do even still.
