First off, all of this information is based off of a 2002 Blazer Xtreme with 56,xxx miles. I have had problems with the outside edge of my tires feathering, and shaking on the freeway despite being in alignment. I am replacing the stock Idler arm with Moog K6187T $37.05 at O’Reillys.
Here is a step notch install done by my 2 brothers and myself. luke tore it apart, adam did all the welding, and i played boss.
Adam's welding skills are amazing. he can run a perfect bead vertical, horizontal, overhead, and anyway you can imagine. i was going to do the install myself but he insisted on doing most of the work, so i didnt argue.
well first you will need to buy parts:
grille
headlights
turnsignals
radiator core support
grille clips*
headlight clips*
headlight plugs
*only available through a dealer, or junkyard.
There are plenty of times when you want to run a 12-volt automotive piece of equipment outside of a car. You could be developing an electrically run system (eg a water/air intercooler where you want to bench test the pump) or even running a car sound system component (with the price of used AM/FM CD players, taking this route can make for a very cheap workshop sound system!) Or maybe you just want to do some quick tests to confirm that something car electric works - an electric radiator fan for example.
Well, since no one has done a how-to on this subject, I figured I would since we always see this question...The following pictures were taken while we we're working on Grappler's 95 2 door Blazer (www.vettel.org/andy). We completed both his doors and my front passenger side door. (www.pghconsulting.net/teal). All told we averaged 15-20 minutes per door for this repair. The bushings on all 3 doors were cracked and at the beggining of being egged.
this is a step by step how to on converting your 98+ s-series truck to a 94-97 front end. i like it because its something you dont see too often, and will confuse people at a show. also, a good reason to do this is to rock the phantom grille that only fits these model years. but you could use any front end from that era if you wanted to.
first start with a thin grinding disk. thinner is better in this case. use saftey glasses and a hooded jacket because the sparks hit your hair/neck and stings. this way your eyes are fine and a hooded jacket protects most of your neck
82-93 S-10 or blazer
12volts red (there will be 2) + ignition harness
Starter yellow or purple + ignition harness
Ignition pink + ignition harness
Second Ignition white + ignition harness
Accessory orange + ignition harness
First remove the visors from the truck.
You will need a T-15 torque wrench ( the star shaped one)
There are 3 screws holding the visor on. Once they are removed the visor will drop.
There is a small plug tucked inside the hole going into the roof.
This how-to is a combination of two how-to's by s10cyncrvr and lowriderbowtie.
I’ve been polishing wheels for a while now and have learned a lot by trying various methods. I’ve had several people ask me to write a how-to on keeping aluminum wheels looking good. Here is my procedure for polishing aftermarket aluminum wheels. These are wheels with no-clear coat. YOUR FACTORY ZQ8 WHEELS HAVE A CLEARCOAT. DO NOT USE ALUMINUM POLISH ON THESE WHEELS.
