Changed my airfilter yesterday. I swear, when I first checked my filter when I got it to the city in April it was clean.

Anyone used an STP filter before? Only thing I could find... I'm not too big on FRAM stuff.

I got a free car wash! Good ol rain lol. Probably gonna tear out the air intake system this weekend and give it a good cleaning since fall is right around the corner. God only knows what kind of gunk I'll find in there... Maybe it'll help with the stuttering.

Today I got nothing done but work and GTAV... Tomorrow I am getting the welder, some grade 8 bolts and washers for the cab mount bolts, primer for the fender and some other misc stuff, and some bend liner for when I get the cab mounts done. Its all FINALLY coming into place.
I will have photos of the fender tomorrow once it is all primered.

Took the blazer out for one last hoorah, went to my local spot and ran a couple trails and some dirt hills. Finished up and was headed home, heard a weird clicking noise, then at the stop light felt like I was towing a semi, truck started bogging down when I would push the gas pedal so I slowly gave it some gas got it up to about 35 and heard a 'plunk' then it quit, coasted to the side of the road and popped the hood, could smell an oily smell, wouldn't ya know it, OIL EVERYWHERE! Dip stick launched out of the tube and oil was everywhere, thankfully we brought the new truck and a couple friends were there, towed it back home and looked at it the next day, engine cranked started up ran like sh*t so I shut it off and put a for sale sign in it lol. Ended up selling it to some kid who wanted to replace the engine with a V8, so it all worked. 2300 bucks later and I am blazerless.. kinda sucks lol

Cleaned up some dirt and rust in the engine bay, cleaned the TB blade a little, tore out the subs rewired them and mounted the amp.

I really want to get rid of the giant airbox and put a cone filter in its place. I think my TB cleaning will have to wait until next weekend.

Has anyone used one of the EverStart vertical side post adaptors where you cut the old posi off and tap it in to the adaptor? I was going to grab one so I could do the amp power correctly but I didnt want to butcher my wirins.

I also grabbed a killswitch for my lead 12v. Can't think of a place to put it though.
