Checked the oil... Going to change it this weekend. getting a bit dirty, after about 7k miles. Synthetic FTW.

 

Did a bit more work on my blazer. Did a sand/coat of primer.

 

After I changed my oil and filter, pvc valve and put in a new air filter

Valve Body rebuild....
They told me I needed a new tranny after getting a 1870 code....I said no way! there was no sign of clutch wear and to check the solenoids and valve body, they tried to tell me no one would do that for me BUT I FOUND SOMEONE and now instead of paying 1000 bucks im paying 450 for a valve body rebuild! YES!

if my little hoopty didnt have that tranny bar in the way I would have taken the pan down myself but damn that thing! I dont have the muscle power for all that.

 

Also, Just ordered a k&n filter for the jimmy off of amazon, 38 shipped. not too bad, all local places wanted 50+

 

Fact you are lady that does most of the mechanical work on your Blazer makes that cool as heck in my book.Theres something I have had to do on my jimmy I didnt think I have the strenght but I finda away

 

I had to redo the installation of my ypipe and treid to install the front output shaft from the Tcase.

 

I'm not sure whats going on there I stole it from Logan in one of his threads I just love what he did with the doors so I'm going to steal his idea! Yes hes ok with it I asked hom lol

I don't know of a how to for them but I will be taking pics of how I do it along the way as I do with all of my other projects. I will be sure to post them up for all to see but I won't be starting it for ahwile I just got the doors now cause I got both of them for $80!

As for my updates I picked up some trans fluid and oil and a oil filter. I also ordered one new wheel hub that should be here friday. I will swap that with the one that is under warranty and bad on my truck right now and then take that one in and warranty it out and swap it with the other on my truck so I will have two brand new hubs on the front of my truck both with warranty so I am finally done spending money on those Although I have only paid $135 for both of them and they are Moog man I love Advance and all there discount codes. Well I have a ton of parts and projects to get done now I just need to find the time and make it happen!!

 

HEY thanks!
I love working on my truck, most of my drive came from being tired of getting dicked around by male mechanics who thought I was an idiot, so I joined this forum and started learning everything I could, my first job on my Blazer was the spider....took me all day BUT I DID IT! makes my everyday drive much more enjoyable having the satisfation that its on the road because I make it run.

 

did the big 3 mod tonight on my dads blazer. with highbeams on,heater on high and wipers on its still holding above 14v on the gauge and headlights seem better. Cool.

 

Hell yeah. I have yet to see my battery gauge drop below half on the jimmy since the big 3 (digi dash)
