Congrats on the new Blazer, and I'm interested to see where you go with this one.

This one is going to be the wifes , she needed a vehicle better suited for winter . It has remote start also , I kinda like that , may have to get one for my blazer . I just took it for a test ride , it drives and shifts great but needs shocks really bad . For some reason the brakes go almost to the floor , the previous owner ( the only owner ) said it has always been like that but I find that very hard to believe . I have a new master cylinder that I bought for my blazer but I think the brakes may just need to be bled . I'll got a couple pictures here in a sec .

Thanks she likes it so far . I tried to bleed the brakes and noticed they changed one rear caliper and all the brake pads but they didn't bleed the brakes after changing the rear caliper , and the other three were rusted so bad I didn't think I would get them , But I got all but one the other rear was not coming loose , and for the price verses time I figured it would be easier to just buy a new one . So now the pedal is up nice and the parking / brake light went out so thats all good . And the door pins were bad in the driver side door so I changed them . It also makes one hell of a ticking when you first start it , sounds like a collapsed lifter , so I guess I'll be getting into the old girl . Fun fun .

Before you tear apart the top half of the engine to fix a suspected colasped lifter try changing the oil and subsitute a half quart for marvel mystery oil.I have used it personaly on engines that have had the same problem with great success.It is a mystery on why and how it works but it does.
