Sounds like a prepping issue or just some really bad bedliner! My entire front end is bedlined and I don't have any bubbling or peeling or even chipping from road debris!! It looks good now though!!

I have a question...how do you post a question on this site? I just recently joined and have a 2002 blazer 4.3. i've used this site before and its very helpful. i'm trying to figure out if i can get my power steering pump pulley off without having to take the whole pump off. its got a bit of play in it and chirps.

Well the first thing you do is use the "search" function at the top of your browser!!! If your still can't find what your looking for you post a question in the appropriate (click on this) section of the forum. Then rather than sitting back and waiting for us to respond you search even more while waiting

I put on a new rear wiper blade that an idiot neighbor tried to rip off. Replaced the driver side mirror due to the glass getting all foggy. Put on new front brake shoes. Replaced all the shocks which were probably factory originals with Bilstein shocks.

My front tires had lots of weird wear patterns plus wear on the inside so I figured some new shocks would help.

Set of new tires of who knows what kind going on next week. The Bilstein shocks are so much stiffer when doing a ground "push down" compared to the ones I took off. Actually raised my vehicle .5 inches with the new shocks.

Now to figure out why engine lags with no power at a cold start for about 15 seconds but then has good power afterwards. Grrrrrr.

Did a oil change and replaced the water pump, t stat, rad cap and lower rad hose.

Also found today that the pass side leaf spring is now flat, so now I need to find a good used one.
