Thanks, yeah. it looked terrible when it was raw.

 

Picked up new wipers (installed already) and brake pads I'll install them sometime in the next couple days when I find 30 min of free time at work. And now I've spent the last several hours reading about why my trans is jumping 3-500 rpms when shifting from 2-3! I'm thinking about trying to find a used trans that needs rebuilding and picking up a complete rebuild kit from Monster Transmission and tackling the rebuild myself to save a crap load of cash. Plus I've never rebuilt a complete trans before I think it would be a good learning experience hence the reason for finding another case so I can take my time and the only down time on the truck would be a day for swapping the transmissions out. If all goes well maybe I will rebuild the one coming out of the truck and sell it to make a few dollars. We will see!!

 

replaced the torsion bar cross member mounting links. Found out the mounting bolts were 1 size too small so I drilled out the Mounting Links and made sure the mounting bolt was a proper fit. The Mounting Link would slap the bolt and the vibration would come through the floorboard. Hopefully I fixed the problem. Will know when I get the leaf spring back on after I finish replacing the bushings.

 

Got my blazer diagnosed again, was told my lower intake manifold is leaking coolant. I'm hoping this is the root cause of my truck running in a rich condition but I'm waiting to hear back from someone more experienced before I start taking everything apart to fix the leak.

 

I hope your feeling better, haven't seen you around for a couple days. Have you decided on what your gonna do?

 

Got my OEM GMC service manuals in the mail today from fleabay. The electrical diagram/diagnosis manual alone is larger than the whole hanyes manual. These things are nice, best 20$ i spent.

 

I'm going to try to sell it still and buy a newer car if I can afford one. Just to get me through the winter.

 

Yesterday I did a leak down on my motor... I lost 40 pounds of fuel pressure within 8 mins.

No wonder shes lacking power and my MPG dropped. Im surprise she even runs....
Im suspecting the fuel pressure regulator. We will see

 

To celebrate my blazer being on the road, I replaced the front shocks. They were worn out enough that they didn't need any extra compressing to get the old ones off, well past time to do that.

 

I cleaned out the inside of mine and removed the subwoofer and one of the amps. Next up is removing my retrofit, wire harness, and ballasts.
