Re: My first blazer!!

I still don't have the damn thing back.....Transmissions been in and out 4 times now, Still slipping between 2 and 3 shift under heavy throttle. Shop is thinking now its a transmission case issue where theres possibly a crack in it somewhere thats letting the pressure bypass? Hell I don't know. Thinking i shoulda just bought a new one! lol

Re: My first blazer!!

decent evening pic i snapped. Have to pull the passenger door apart tomorrow, Im thinking the window motor bolts have possibly come loose from the regulator. Went to roll it up this evening and it went up but was making an awful sound then the motor started free spinning..... Ill check it out and see, Haven't done a whole lot on it lately. been tinkering with the interior and sound system. Have spent most of my time on a customers 53 f100....

Re: My first blazer!!

i sanded them down, shaved the bolts and tucked the rear. I painted them with a paint called hyper silver. My wheel recon shop uses it on wheels.
