Ordered the OEM service manuals for the Jimmy today from ebay for 20 bucks, comes with the repair manual, and the electric diagnosis manual.

Default Bad news for the Blazer

So out of all the positive today for my Blazer, the negative hit the hardest. Got 4 new shoes on her, 235/75R/15 Goodyear Wrangler's, and my tag came in the mail (: However, the negative hit when I was driving her to get checked up and going to get the new shoes on. She was pulling really hard to the right so I got some money to go get a front end alignment. Turns out they couldn't align it because I need to replace my WHOLE front end. Day went from good to bad really quick.

Well, went from good news to bad overnight. Figured out what had gone wrong with the breaks on the Jimmy, and found it to be a master cylinder
Never had to do one with all the used cars and trucks I've owned till now I will be working on that today

master cylinder is easy,just mount it,and pour some fluid in her and bleed it. For the front end,make sure you use quality parts, or at least on the idler arm as they seem to take a beating on these.
