Thanks.

Mike, any part number on that mounting bracket? I know lots of us would like to get one.

someone beat you to it... :mrgreen:

Can this AC bracket be used for the 6.2 we have in the Blazers? I don't know if any existing equipment would be in the way or the 6.2 mounting busses are different on 2009-2012 6.2 engines. I found it online while looking for one that would allow AC in a stock Blazer...

I had this same issue with fuel returning to the tank when parked uphill. It seems my problem was a break in the fuel line from fuel pump to IP. Replaced it and it is fixed. Q: If the O-Ring is leaking after all these years, can't a simple o-ring replacement fix this for a few more years at a...

To day I installed a new rear window regulator in my Blazer. The handle finally gave out and would not roll the tailgate window up or down. I thought it was the clutch at first; but it was the tiny crank gear between the two large elevator gears. While I was in there I cleaned out the mud built...

Ok, cheaper pads. Roger that. Do I get the same pads as the Civvy model from 1984 (Blazer)? Not Raybestos then?

So it sounds like it is a good idea to check pads often to avoid rotor damage. Pad preference anyone. I like to put the bast pads in to avoid having to do it too often- Raybestos is probably the best? Anyone have a better pad to recommend or a part number?

I have put in all my brakes since 1977. I have not run across pads like the ones I see on the Blazers in this forum. They look like a royal PITA. If I take my Blazer in for brakes instead of tackling them myself: Will the brakes guys know what to do? Will they get all the right parts? Will...

I have been considering this for my M009. I have a M1008 type pick-up that has been lined. I used the SEM kit. It comes with lots of product, a shutz gun and mixing cups. It can also be tinted. I used the Gillespie 383 OD and shot it out of a drywall hopper gun from HF. The tinted mix was to...

I agree with DANL. I had something similar happening in my Blazer and saw a pattern of it happening whenever I parked for very long facing uphill. When I backed in and faced downhill I never had the problem. Months later when changing in new glow plugs I still had this problem. A question here...

Sorry about the broken links. Fixed now.

Blazer Cargo panels- NOW WITH PICTURES! I mentioned this new project in WHYDL but I thought it may make a good thread to get more ideas. I obtained panels from a wrecking yard civvy Blazer. Made mods to accommodate my speaker boxes. Covered them with some new Milspec OD waterproof canvas- very...

I was at the wrecking yard last week looking for a spare mount. Ran across a number of civvy Blazers so I went scavenging. All had the power gates- but the widows were down. I managed to open the access panel and used my portable power driver to wind the cable and open the window. Also ran...

I was at a full service car wash. The guy doing the final hand dry was spraying some stuff from a yard sprayer on the paint behind the fender wells. It smelled like lighter fluid. He told me it was Naptha- same stuff. Home Depot has it in the paint dept. I have been using it to remove stubborn...

Use battery cables to supply juice directly to the starter- with starter mounted to simulate load. If you are having the same problem, then look at the grounding strap between the engine block and firewall. Add a 10g wire from the starter bolt that holds the starter support bracket and the...

The group 31 batteries go in; but you have to switch to new flat lugs. The upside is that they are fat on and off if you use a coupling nut instead of a bolt. I try to post a pic tomorrow.

What would be a step up from the stock ratio? I would not mind running another 10-15 MPH faster without sweating a catastrophe. How had a job is it to switch gearing?

If you have a U-pull it wrecking yard, I'd go there. I find the good hitches already off the truck sometimes where someone wanted the gas tank or bumper. CHeap; but ask first to avoid that rip-off feel.

We have wandered away from the purpose of the OP. If you can know, through impeccable maintenance, that your vehicle will not break down, good for you. I tend to keep an eye on my hunting rig through the year so I can address all the things that are in need of attention well before I leave on a...
