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.

what have you gotten done on your blazer today?

put the idler arm on, finished putting the dash back together after heater core replacement, popping the fist dents after dealing with a craptastic fuel pump failure, and currently pulling the bent bumper off it (been bent since we bought it) so i can straighten it and knock the dents out of it.[torques bits why of all things torques bits to hold the bumper on...]

Windshield wipers crapped out in Monday evening's rain... Had to keep turning them on and off to get them to work.

Found Kyle's excellent post on repairing the WW circuit board. Touched up the main solder joints, even though I didn't see any cracks. I think the problem was grease on the spring-loaded contacts to the gear mechanism. Cleaned them up good, put it back together and it's working fine so far.

1/2 hour's work and a lot of money saved!

Not today, but most recently, a ported 12" subwoofer from Elemental Design along with a JL amp. Elemental Designs: Car Stereo, Home Speakers, Electronics

Also, recently, cross-drilled & dimpled rotors from BrakePerformance.

Both mods have severely improved my day-to-day driving!
