Nothing lately but I will be moving my shop again next month so I have more room to get things done.

Well I just got back from the PnP and didn't find what I was looking for which was the "latch" car seat attatchments for the back seat. If anyone has them that they will never use pm me and I'll buy them from you. From my understanding they are bolted in with the back seat bolts and should be easy to remove. I did however get some muddy a$$ feet!
My poor shoes

But the trip wasn't a complete loss I found an efan from an intrepid so I ****** that outta there. For $38 (they charged me for two since its a dual fan DUMB) I'm not going to complain. Now I just gotta get a controller and find the time to get it in. Probably not going to be for awhile though with the wife driving the blazer for who knows how long


Sorry Chris I didn't see your wish list until I was on my way home already

Ordered this last Wednesday from Amazon $177.75, delivered Monday standard shipping, installed yesterday evening took 5hrs. The original 2001 was still working fairly well but was having some drivability issues. It seems I have more power and notice the trans shifting with a bit more force. We'll see if my hot starting issue is fixed. So far so good.

Booked the Blazer into the autobody shop to get the door repaired from being broken into. Will have to pay my deductible but I'll get the door un-dented and repainted.

Also just got my tax return in the mail so some of the fun begins... Only 2 more months of college until the real modding begins...

Went to another PnP today and still didn't find exactly what I wanted but I got a killer deal on a practically new trailer hitch. and I also got the car side of the wire harness that like a dummy I didn't grab yesterday for the efan setup. The guy threw it in as the "trailer wires" with the hitch so $25 bucks later this is what I brought home What looks like rust on it it is just dirt from me setting it down a million times to search other vehicles.

Not a bad trip if you ask me.

I also picked up both of my temp sensors to swap them out and see if that will correct my truck reading so cool. I went with BWD brand cause I got both of them for the price of one AC Delco piece and they have a liftetime warranty as opposed to the 1 yr on the AC Delco stuff. Hopefully they won't give me issues!

I have to wear gum boots to my local junk yard. Only once has the mud(not water) gone right over them.

Yeah I wasn't prepared at all lol! I took boots today to another yard and didn't need them at all. Go figure!

I just swapped my temp sensors and now it's reading so the left side of the needle is just touching the 210 line. I didn't have time to properly burp the system so its bouncing around a bit but I'm sure it's an air bubble. I'll burp it like a baby tomorrow tho. Now I need to fill up and see if my mileage comes up some. Also my heat seems hot so hopefully this issue is fixed!

Well I didn't post it yesterday, but I bought a new driver side mirror and got it put on. I went to check out the 4wd and found out my front axles weren't engaging. So I had a long night of reading through everyone's posts to learn exactly how it operates. Today i went out and did my troubleshooting, its either the actuator or the vacuum line.

Now all I have left is...
Replace the pinion bearing and seal
replace rear wheel speed sensor so the ABS will work
Replace the TCC (still no replies to that post)
And either fix vacuum leak or replace 4wd actuator

Oh the joys if buying a truck advertised as a fixer upper lol

You should do a posi lock setup for your 4x4. Details on this in the first couple pages of my build thread if you have any questions ask them there please!
