Flushed my dads s10 So far so good.

Now to find some money to fix my trucks.

 

sprayed the rusty hub nut 3x a day for 3 days, showed it the wrench and it came loose by itself

 

Yesterday I finished installing new upper and lower control arms with bushings and ball joints, new CV axle, new hub on drivers side and new sway bar bushings. Both sides suspension is done and my 2001 Blazer feels like I just drove it off the new car lot.

Today I fixed the ABS EBCM. Idiot brake and ABS lights have been on for the past 3 years. I heard it could cost $1,200 at the dealer to fix. I never take my vehicles to the dealer to have fixed. Did a little research on the C0265 code and found the $0 fix. I took out the EBCM and worked on it at the kitchen table for about an hour. Here's the Youtube video on how to fix it for free and it worked for me.

*REAL* FIX ASTRO-VAN KH325 EBCM (brake & abs light on intermittently; C0265 code

I also found a vacuum tube disconnected at the driver fender vacuum canister behind the EBCM. My HVAC control and brakes have been sluggish for about a year. Bought some new 5/32 vacuum tube and replaced the deteriorated stuff. Brakes stop better, 4WD switches fast now, and HVAC controls work great again.


The final idiot light I have to fix is the air bag light. I'll do research tonight on how to fix it.

 

Thank you for that video. My blazer does this when it is hot out. It has been fine all winter. I may have to do this in the spring.

 

Nothing on the blazer but I had me a good dinner
