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.

this makes me sad man! You better not leave us!

On a side note. Ordered some lift supports for the rear glass from rock auto, 7.33 per whole sale closeout, will be nice to have working rear defrosters this winter.

You can't get rid of me that easy. I decided to pull my hids out tonight instead. (I have someone coming to look tomorrow morning and I want it to be ready.)

Finally got the barn roof all finished a couple weeks back, so making some progress on the engine here. Timing set is all installed, cut the center of the CKP sensor reluctor wheel out to save weight & still have the proper clearance for the harmonic balancer, got the cover back on, cleaned out oil pan, returned my HV oil pump for a stock one (couldn't get proper pan clearance), removed the left side head, cleaned all gasket surfaces, & began installing valve seals. Still quite a bit of work left, but getting closer to re-assembly.

Was surprised at the lack of carbon in the engine. Alot of that is probably due to the previous factory FI, but we've put about 10k carbureted miles on it. Guess my tuning is spot-on.

Just ordered the 200mm (7x6) h4 headlight conversion housings and bulbs, and the upgraded wiring harness for the Jimmy, Sick of sealed beams and want something brighter.

Today I did an other leak down with the spider disconnected and she lost 40 psi again...
I have a bad spider unit since the injector poppets are stuck open.

I just got done installing Blinkers on my mirrors Pictures soon in my build thread... Im currently uploading them.

Mine is shuttering. Ive noticed a lack of power the last few weeks. The plugs look kinda bad,and the tps might be out of bounds since there is only one bolt holding it on. i'll tinker with it later. for now she drives.

I finally took 45 min out of my day at work and installed my brakes and rotated my tires! And the planning is still on for the rebuild of the sloppy transmission.

Wired in a plug so I can add it to the list of useable-for-actual-trailers hitches available (primarily for SpoonPlugger-the 'community' fishing boat)

And got the annual safety inspection done, on time which is unusual for me.
