Brought the 96 home, 2 months after i spun the engine bearings. Put in a new air filter and washed/waxed it. I noticed after the engine change that the trans was low on oil. Put a qt and a half in before i drove it the 12 miles from the farm to the house. I noticed after i parked it and recheced the trans fluid that there had been oil leaking out of the transfer case vent line. Before it got dark i thought id check the transfer case fluid level, it was overfull. By about a gallon, guess the input shaft seal on the transfer case must be bad, letting the trans overfill the transfer case, and leaving the trans low on oil. So much for this vehicle going back on the road anytime soon.

 

I blacked out most of my jimmy, i'm going to buy some tail lights from the scrap yard and tint them black also. I will get pics tomorrow.

 

well I got everything put back together today! "im lov'n it!" I still cant figure out how to get the alternator/power-steering pump bracket off. need to get it off in order to get my driver side valve cover off to repaint it! anyone know how to do this on a 1993 4.3L Chevrolet s10 blazer 4x4?

 

Here is a pic of my jimmy after painting all of the silver on the front and sides black. Also painted the rims.

 

Getting rid of the sag!

 

washed it, and detailed it. Then it rained.

 

Much better

 

well it was not today but I finally re registered my zr2 with some veteran plates and fixed party of the power system for the amps. have to get some new cable for the power side to support the second amp for the component speakers.

still has a horrible stumble on start up and takes a few seconds for the trans to engage. almost like there is not enough fluid in the converter.

 

Got the tire carrier almost finished with the few minutes I had this afternoon. All that's left is the latch plate. Pics in my build thread.

 

Haven't done much lately. Pulled three trailers within a week and a half. That was pretty fun I guess. The biggest trailer caused the transmission to upshift and downshift like it was dancing, but everything is okay. Been working on my custom built computer instead of the blaze. But sooner or later, I'll show the blaze some love. That is all for now...
