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?

My alt its on the pass side. I used about 10-12 in of red wire for the alt and about 5.5 ft of black for the three grounds. I'll make sure I get the write up done tomorrow morning so you can check it out.

Awesome, thanks, I got 10 feet of wire, I think it should be enough, even though my alt is on the drivers side.

I finally got around to rebuilding my rod knocking motor. It turns out the motor is from a 2002 Blazer it had a 255 crank in it. It's nice not to hear the knocking noise anymore..

Repaired the E - break shoe clip on the passenger side of the Jimmy. Some knuckle head thought it was a good idea to use a 6-32 screw and nut to hold a square piece of steal instead of a retaining clip for the shoe.. I was going to replace it when I did the breaks when I bought the beast. But I was rushed since the ol grunt was getting a little tired on some things that needed special attention and the inspection had run out.

how is it when I run into a wet dream I end up with a friggin nightmare?

I took it in to have the rear brakes looked at. Turns out they were just real full of brake dust and dirt so they said I got a few thousand more miles left on them. So I had them change my belt while it was in the shop. I know I couldve done it but I was lazy, lol. So I paid 95 bucks to have it changed. Kinda regretting it now but oh well.
