Thumbs down

I fought with mine the other day trying to get the transmission in for 3 hours.I cant get the torque converter to stop getting in a bind once the trans is bolted up.Then I drop the trans off the jack using my body as a cushion so it wouldn`t hit the concrete from 2 1/5 high.That hurt but save a trans I got $800 into.

Today I hammered out some dents in my oil filter skid plate and cleaned some of the oil off it.
Yeah, 92-94 blazers/jimmys/bravadas with Vin W had a tiny bit of extra HP and torque... according to wiki

Have not been in my Blazer since Thursday because I been out of town all weekend with my parents and my brother to Wisconsin Dells and Castle Rock. I want to get a black grille because I went to all the junkyard around here and even my parts Blazer that I bought for $350 don't have a grille and mine is broke so where I can get one?

RockAuto Parts Catalog has 'em, under $50 too.
Sand, prime & paint it to your liking while it's new & not installed.

Looks like the same grille a '95 has from what I've seen on rock auto.
Like I said, get it new, sand, prime & paint it the way you like.
