Im pushin threw the Blazer so I can get Back on the Crew Cab ZR2 build Believe Me when I say I Cant Wait to be Drivin the DirtyMax Powered S10 lol Like today when I got on the Highway in the Ole Ladys KIA & passeda F350 pullin a stock trailer I was like I cant Wait to Hear My Turbo Whistlin

I keep watching episodes of diesel brother and wondering how soon I could make my truck sound like a tractor

 

[oldeerslayer]

Tractors are like motorcycles. Each one has a distinct sound. Which tractor do you want to sound like. My favorite of all time is the John Deere
2 cylinders made from 1924-1960. With 2 cylinders and 4 cycles it has a very distinct sound.

 

[warriorcustoms]

A 4.3 with Side Pipes sounds a Lot Like a John Deer Have a buddy with 1 He calls it John LoL Matter of Fact Hes the 1 that Got Me into S10s lol

Vids kinda Corney but this is My Fav for 4BT Sseries rigs!!!

Well I went to see if the starter / alternator rebuild place in Ardmore had My starter for the Blazer done & they had to send the parts jockey to.Dallas to get some stuff to fix My junk Right!!! Im glad He said Id rather use the better part that Lasts & Not mark it up So My Customer Stays Happy because the one the local parts house carries just Dont Last!!! Guess it just reassures Why I use Buttons It should be done before lunch tomorrow... Then I will getta Here this New Motor & Drive it after 2yrs LoL I cant believe its been 2yrs since I spun the rod bearing on the original 4.3!!! Should Run for A Long Time after All the Upgrades I did to it Then I can get back to the Crew Cab ZR2 build

It's nice you've got a starter rebuild place near you! I've been trying to find starter rebuild parts without much luck

 

[warriorcustoms]

Used to be a time when the parts houses carried the same rebuild kits But Unless they have an Old School dude workin there they dont stock em Anymore theres More MARK UP in a China Starter or Alternator so thats what We get!!! Once I found out about Buttons I just take em there & get a better Rebuilt unit than the new china crap is...

 

[warriorcustoms]

WooHoo got the Blazers New A/C hoses in today Guess the supply house had to Order Parts for the Gear Reduction Starter I took in SO I should have it by the end of the day on Monday

 

[warriorcustoms]

WTF The Last 2 A/C Lines Ive ordered off the net were Not the Best Fitment!!! The one for the Ole Ladies Car was a LiL Long or Clocked Wrong so it Kinked!!! This set for the Blazer I had to gingerly Rebend the ends that bolt to the Compressor to make it Clear Everything & fit right... And its the Same part #s as the Parts House new in a package!!! Im almost thinkin Theyre Seconds at a Freakin Discount or Some Shit LoL OK Rant Over LoL

 

[warriorcustoms]

Took some green ScotchBrite to the gray worn off paint on the grill & I think it Looks Way Better IF I dont keep likin it then I will do Flat Black
If it would Quit Rainin I could install the rebuilt starter & paint the pewter hood with white spray bombs lol

 

[warriorcustoms]

Well I forgot to bring the 4.3 to #1 TDC when I put it all together & left it on #4 TDC so I pulled the valve cover & put #1 at TDC & Stabbed the new aluminum dizzy & she Fired Right Up the injectors had a lil Stiction when I first fired it up but the Seafoam & other can of Injector Cleaner I put in along with a half tank is startin to clean that up Made sure there werent any leaks & let it run till the Efans came on & Low works like Theyre Factory did those on a relay from another S10 harness so that all looks Stock Then High is another relay with the activation wire on the A/C Request signal & I turned those on with Max A/C to Charge My system & the damn green can piercing adapter Broke SO I had to shut the A/C down & watch a New Can Dance in front of the Blazer Soo tomorrow when I get to town Im snaggin a Screw On R134 style adapter!!! That pissed Me Off But what Can Ya Doo LoL I let it down off the 3ft of blocks & Jackstands & took it for a Test Drive around the property & Im Happy Happy Happy LoL Still need a 98up front bumper & air dam along with some 98up power mirrors to complete the 98up grill Upgrade look Hopefully the Efans gain some MPGs...
Im thinkin about spray bombin the Pewter hood Flat White to kinda Blend in LoL Itll just look like the Clear peeled LoL Soo after the last lil bit to get it on the road I will be Back on the Crew Cab ZR2 build Until I Finish It Then the Ext Cab will Get some Upgrades LoL

I knew you were working on a 2 door blazer but I didn't realize it was a 5 speed too. Wish I could have found one of those but I couldn't pass up the deal on my 4 door.

You're more than welcome to the front bumper off mine if I don't end up using it.

 

[warriorcustoms]

KMK523 I didnt even try to talk her down on the price because it was a 5spd NP231 About the Only things I didnt replace are the IFS & rear diff LoL Im gonna make My kids drive for a Year before I do an SAS on Theirs!!!
