I just been posting away here and realized i haven't introduced myself!

Where to begin, i searched 3 months for my Blazer, finally found it 6 years ago, and it took them 3 weeks to find a bank that would approve me. Some bank in Edmonton of all places. I loved it from day one, i do my regular maintenance on her, but last 2 years I have been slacking and traveling instead.

In 6 years i put on about 40,000 km (Bought the truck when it had 65,000 km, and now shes at 105,000 km)

This past Winnipeg Winter, she wouldn't start for me twice, needed a boost. Other than that she's always been reliable. She's definitely speaking to me NOW! tires, brakes, and now a power steering leak ( Power Steering pressure hose i was told will fix it).

I look forward to sharing my Blazer adventures with everyone as I already have with my Tire experience.

The goal is to keep her ... daily driver but maybe turn a few heads along the way. 3 inch lift kit, and push bar i like to have on it some day, and nothing would make me prouder that seeing her pull a boat behind her.

 

Welcome to the forum. Looks like you have the start of a build thread here. You might want to ask a mod to move it from the New Members welcome section to the Builds section.

 

Welcome even tho you've been here longer then I. Good looking rig.

 

dont use the cheep bearings , they dont last

shop around , you should be able to find them cheaper than $400
I bought mine at Rock Auto and did both sides at the same time
Make sure to torque the drive axle nut when installing the new bearing

 

Use an air gun! Breaker bar and rachet are a Biotch on that nut.
