Which 4wd system do you have? 3 or 4 button? I recently had a vacuum leak detected in my actuator valve, which is mounted at just about the center of the firewall (4-button 4wd system). I've read...

Thanks all
It was indeed the vent hole for the 4wd actuator valve. The valve switches the axle side between vacuum and atmosphere, the vacuum side should not go to atmosphere, so no smoke should...

4wd Actuator Switch Vacuum Leak?

I did a smoke test on the Blazer today to find a small vacuum leak. There is smoke coming from the hole in the top of the 4wd actuator switch. Is this normal, or the source of my vacuum leak? This is...

Fuel Odor In Cabin

This has probably been a subject of many questions in the past.
I recently performed an injector balance test. After the initial pressurizing of the rail I let it sit 30+ seconds to see if the...

Injector Balance Test

I finally got around to doing the injector balance test on my '99 Blazer. Took a little while to get the Tech 2 32mb card/software (originally bought the Tech 2 for my '04 Saab Aero).
The initial...

I've had RC stuff for decades. Mostly nitro, I never thought much of the electrics, although I do have a few. I used to have a few nitro helos, but the small, collective electrics are fun and can fly...

Did the driver side last night. Still had to drill the lower ball joint rivets, but only from the top, maybe 1/4" deep; just to get enough out of the control arm mounting holes. Three of them began...

Got it out. That was ridiculous. Went through about 6 more drill bits. Even after the remaining piece of the ball joint was out, one of the rivets still wouldn't budge!
Had to drill all of them...

This Blazer has 188k miles; can't believe these would be originals. Someone must have replaced complete control arms. I'd just order a new complete lower and be done with it, but I don't want to...

They're a bugger to get through. I drilled almost through one using 3/16" and 1/4" bits; 3-4 of each to get through it. Then pounded it out with a punch & 3lb sledge.
I may drill though another...

I've tried that using the air hammer punch with both the air hammer, and a 3lb sledge. The 1 rivet I was able to get out was after nearly drilling completely through it with a 1/4" bit from the top,...

Sorry, not the control arm, the ball joint 'arm'/rod. Broke it out of the socket.
Replacing the entire control arm may be the only way to go; but I'm not really wanting to mess with the torsion bar.

Hey All
I just picked up a '99 Blazer to tow behind my motorhome. 4-door, Auto-Trac 4x4.
Lower ball joints were worn and had play, so I picked up uppers and lowers.
Got the passenger side apart;...
