Put gas in....Although i put in 93 octane this time. was on E and put 10.00 in yesterday,then i put 25 more in today and i tell ya,it didnt make a huge difference but i could tell it idled better and was a little more preppy then the usually. Not sure if its worth the extra 40 cents a gallon but i like it. Maybe il run it for now on unless im broke. My exhaust even smells cleaner.

 

finally rebuilt my steering and replaced my steering box with an astro van box. very easy to do and way worth it.

 

Whats the upgrade? =}

 

friday gets new ball joint and upper control arm bushing (shop ask 50 usd buck for the deal plus spares).
saturday, during a trip to country side, the cooling wate start to boil near 100 celcius degrees. arrive to country side, test cooling water and boling temperature is just 100 celcius degree...dammit!. i had brand new dex cool in truck, so drain radiator and then, engine block... but engine block doesnt want to be drained....finally, in both side i need to insert a srew drive and break some kind of hard sludge and water cames out. inspecting tranny oil cooler figure out a lot of black like slidge, and when flushing the system from engine block waters cames with a rainbow like color (like water with fuel....). since here in country side i dont have any flushing liquid, need to let blazer here until next week.

also plannig a compression test today.. please Blazer don't give me another headache!!
dammmmm!!!

 

Purchased and had mounted a set of Firestone Winterforce tires. This concludes my spending on this vehicle ( hopefully ) for this year. Blazer drives much quieter and the small amount of play I had in the steering has diminished to almost unnoticeable.

 

This year end in a couple of weeks.You know that, right?

iIneed new tires. a week ago, i had a vibration at rear part and a noise at the front wheels. at shop the rotate position and now get vibration at front, noise at rear... so new tires...

 

Yes, and I'm hoping you didn't wake this thing up and give it any more ideas for me to dump some more money into it ...

 

I think everything '00 & later has the roller TRUNION. Mine is a '00. Rocker gets torqued to 22 ft./lbs. and that's it:

 

Replaced the rear brakes, calipers, brackets, rotors and pads. Now I have to rebuild the parking brakes.

 

No, I didn't want it. But just last monday I say "ok, ball joint and bushing and that's all, no more"... now new thermostat, new engine cooling temperature sensor... need a flushing and probably a radiator sealing.
