Well while everyone is haveing cold related issues
My lil Booboo was treated to a new heater core...
3 new O2 sensors....4 new head light bulbs....
And a tranny filter with new tranny fluid.....
Thats right.....new tranny fluid...nothing to good
For my girl...oh also some fresh anti freeze and topped
Her off with some windshield washer fluid.....
Damn....this gets treated better than the wife and kids

 

Hope the new tranny fluid doesn't hurt anything,, Just saying

 

Woke up Saturday morning to -5.5° here. Not quite -11°, but at that stage can you really tell the difference? It's damn cold!

I went out at 6am to fire up the carbureted Blazer for the wifey. It's times like this that I just love a manual choke over an electric. Turned key, wait for pump to slow down (reciprocating pump), pump twice, pull choke all the way, VROOM! Actually started faster than my '07 Silverado.

But, we cheat ... there's a block heater on this one, mainly because I run Amsoil Z-Rod in 10w-30. A little too heavy for that type of cold. Also warms up alot quicker than it normally would, so she's happy.

Yep - forecast for tomorrow is 54°. Gotta love New England!

 

yesterday i did my 1st gen to 2nd gen brake swap. i was going to make a how to thread but its too simple.take old spindle chunk off,put new spindle chunk on. attach hoses,bend hose brackets down a little,bleed,done.

improvements? meh. a little. honestly the single piston calipers felt like they had a better grip. but the duals have a smoother more consistent grip if that makes sense. at least now no more packing bearings. as for the $150 hubs, im fine. going back to get a new set on a junked jimmy for 60 bucks. ones i have now had been replaced too so,im happy.

 

Just order some disk brake conversion brackets for my rear D60

 

I just did the throttle blade mod, I like it. Also almost got my 6" spot lights all done being painted and HID's installed in them, will have some pictures when all done.

 

Newguy....
Nothing a new tranny cant fix.....heck I replaced
everthing possible except the engine..and yes the tranny
Also has been replaced....thats why I call it my moneypit.

 

Cool, just hear that if you never change the tranny fluid, its better not to.

 

The only thing I change tranny fluid wise is the filter and fluid in the pan.

 

warmed up to 34, waxed the hood real quick before the rain started, waiting on alll this "bad weather" thats been hyped up for the last 2 days....i dont see a -40 wind chill happening with 4-6 inches of snow...its raining and 36 right now!
