Default Didnt work much on it today

Did some cleaning in the shop mostly but after that was done I took off the left rear drum that was rusted.I cleaned it up and knocked all the rust off.Tomorrow I`ll have to replace the springs and retaining pins on the shoes among other things.

Drove it today I gave her 1/2 tank of gas and fuel injector cleaner... Imma drive her again tomorrow and then do a Leakdown again.

She ran much better today tho . I towed home 600 pounds of feed with no issues.

Took a dremel to the battery cables and grinded down to pure copper. Hopefully that cures my click-start problems!

Got the main oil leak fixeddddddddddddddddddd on my dads blazer. it was the darn gaskets behind the oil cooler adapter. took longer to clean the old gasket off then it was to fix the repair.

kick a$$. I really need to do my oil lines from the filter to the block. the leaking is driving me INSANE!. also the lines from the remote filter to the radiator, much easier job than to the block.

if yours is leaking from the adapter too,you will have a gasket (you'll get 2 in the kit,you will need the half round one) and the huge oring. the oring on mine was the culprit as it was brittle and flat. but i changed the gasket anyways. i wasnt doing it twice.

Its leaking at both ends, on the end under the hood its leaking from the line, where the rubber meets the metal. on the other end, not sure where, have not got under there and looked at it, might be doing the starter today... wa wa wa

At what mileage did you make the change?
