Found my garage and blazer in it in 2" of water... Sigh... Got out the axe and chopper and figured out where the lowest spot on the property probably was a chopped a channel for the water to drain into the alley. It was pretty cool when I got to the last couple inches of ice and it was like a damn breaking. I dont know why I didnt park my new gopro on the snow to watch it, but at least now my garage is empty and can dry the floor. Nothing was damaged, I dont have anything on the floor really.

Most of the way through a trans rebuild. Had no reverse and no 3rd. Turned out to be the clutches. Reverse:



3-4:



Otherwise, no other problems; but I replaced the sun shell anyway. Tomorrow just gotta install the under-pan components and it's back on she goes.

My '94 Blazer left the yard for the last time today. My buddy bought it and a friend of his drove it away. It was a good rig. I bought it for $400 in 2010 and I sold it for $900 today.

Now to concentrate on the '98 Jimmy. Flaming River u-joint mod is next along with a new steering gearbox and Pitman arm.
