I think you should win an award for the most pictures of the same red blazer and change your title to "Red Blazer Detail Job". Did I miss the part where you cleaned and detailed your tires? They are still the same tires you bought it with right?
But Hey you sure got a great deal on a Blazer that is in great shape and you cleaned it up very well. We are all jealous of a find like this. You saved it from someone who would not appreciate it. Ahhhh But if your Blazer could talk,It would say "Thanks for saving me from Kids with baby bottles and chewing gum on my seats".

Haha

Beautiful blazer! What are your plans for it? Lift? 1 tons? Stocker?

Fix one thing something else goes wrong. Welp now I need to put some U-joints in the driveshaft.

thirdstreettito · 07-13-2011, 10:16 PM

Which driveshaft? What are your symptoms?

The one that goes to the rearend. It has ALOT of play in it and its been making a bunch of racket

thirdstreettito · 07-13-2011, 11:17 PM

Which part has play? The rear u-joint area or front u-joint area? Back and forth play? or side to side/up and down?

NCTyphoonKid · 07-14-2011, 10:28 AM

The U-joints both back and front I don't think they've ever been greased. It has up and down and side to side play.

thirdstreettito · 07-14-2011, 10:53 AM

Is the pinion itself moving too?

NCTyphoonKid · 07-17-2011, 10:17 AM

Me and buddy replaced the U-joint and it seems to have solved all the problems. The old one had never been greased which is probably why it went bad.

thirdstreettito · 07-17-2011, 10:27 AM

Glad you got it fixed!

NCTyphoonKid · 07-17-2011, 07:39 PM

Thanks it was embarrassing to even try and drive with all the noise it was making from that U-Joint

motornut · 07-18-2011, 09:57 AM

When I got it I was going to do alot to it (lift,wheels,tires,etc.) but when I started cleaning it up I just didn't have the heart to destroy such a nice truck so I left it stock. I need to change the thread title but I don't know how to change it.

**l79m20** · 08-02-2011, 05:35 PM

thats cool, it does look pretty good though. As some point you may change your mind on ripping into it. Good luck anyhow.
