Did driver's side ball joints and tie rod ends yesterday. Would have, should have, done more, but I wasn't feeling that motivated due to haveing worked third shift and starting the blazer as soon as I finished my shift.
An air chisel is your best friend when removing factory ball joints.

Today plan on doing nothing.

I plan on doing nothing today as well. The upper balljoint on the passenger side has a tiny bit of play in it, but nothing to cause concern right now to me. once it starts making noise like the drivers side did, then I will replace it that day. but until then, no garage, snow on the ground.
I honestly hate winter, we could do without it.

Well let's see, since my last post I have read until my eyes bled and then read some more and then I got into this beast and have done the following;
Replaced the inner tie rod end ( right side )
Replaced the outer tie rod end ( right side )
Replaced the Idler Arm
Replaced the Pitman Arm
Replaced the Air pump
Replaced the Secondary Air System solenoid switch
Replaced the Secondary Air System stop switch
replaced all the hoses in the system
All new vacuum lines
Lower Intake manifold gaskets
Oil change and lubed everything I could find
Coolant flush
Replaced radiator and heater hoses
Replaced thermostat and radiator cap
Complete Tranny flush (was shifting hard )
Replaced cap, rotor, plugs and wires
4 new snow tires
Thank God the snow held off until today, not easy working out in the cold when you have severe RA in your hands and hips.
Now one last issue to figure out: No low 4 x 4 .. light flashes, but never engages.
I have Auto 4 x 4 .. 2WD .. HI 4 x 4 , but won't engage when switched to Low. Light just flashes and it goes back into HI 4 x 4
Everything is connected, good vacuum to plunger and switches, I can here the TCCM click in when I push the 4 Low button; but nada...
Encoder motor??
