way more than what I intended to do but it's like when I use to take my kids to toys r us and let them get what they wanted. the blazer was asking for some bark! Jeez when you fire it up now it sounds like there is definitely something going on over here! lol. Reminds me of the 38' top gun we once owned.

Re: thinking about getting this in the morning
nothing too fancy. just bringing an old truck back to life and doing my best to eliminate all the weakest links. went into the transmission shop today to get a makeover on the 700R4 high performance rebuild kit and whatever else my buddy at trans shop planned on doing to beef it up then to my driveline guy to have the rear diff shimmed up a tad to decrease the angle and get the driveshaft lengthened. Does anyone run slip yoke eliminator kits on these like the jeep guys do on the TJ's?

Re: thinking about getting this in the morning
pro flow mufflers are really cool not too bad driving normal but as soon as you get into the skinny pedal it barks like a Harley with straight pipes in a tunnel I ran the dual pipes all the way to the back and they both exit on the drivers side. man does it sound good!!!
I love it. :metal: |

got it back from the transmission shop and she is shifting perfect up and down and we installed an electric lock out for the highway.
I installed the hood insulation kit with the chevy hard plastic cover. It came with the thick insulation cut outs you glue in place and then you tape all the edges with the alum tape. also replaced the glove box hardware so it closes nice and tight now. I think this may have been the last rattle I've had to chase down. I flew over some railroad tracks today and I am pretty sure we caught a little air and not one squeak or rattle. |
Re: thinking about getting this in the morning
Sorry if this was covered somewhere else, but where did you get that A/C hose? I have an older blazer and upgraded to a serpentine belt setup that moved the A/C compressor to the opposite side of the engine bay.

AC Delco 153867 or 15641231 was for my 1989 Blazer.

Now after all that, new tires, etc, would you go and add a lift?!? :uhmk: I'll agree with Timber....probably going to have to increase tire size. Of course, I did the same thing. Sold the 35" mud terrain tires and put on 33" all terrains because I was thinking the girls (my kids) would be driving it to school and the smaller tires would be more manageable. I even took the lift off (2.5") and tried to go to stock. After all that work, my wife and kids said "Dad, it looks kinda wimpy now. Liked it before I touched it." Great.....that was nice to hear! So I switched it back to the lift (lets just say that was a long weekend!) Finally back to 33's and 2.5" lift. It just bugged me and didn't look proportional. Finally got fed up and sold the 33's and bought the 35's. It just looks better now. And no rubbing! :metal: |

Re: thinking about getting this in the morning
I forgot you already had 33's. I've got the same lift/tire on my 85, love the combo.

Re: thinking about getting this in the morning
Did you get your rear vent windows figured out? I was at the junkyard last weekend and saw an 86' blazer with the glass vents....
