I've used Liqui Moly OR Lubro Moly and done this a couple of time in the past. I use to have a link to the hose setup, but I can't find a working link any longer. Does anyone have a description of what goes where in order to feed the can of Diesel Purge directly to the IP while putting the...

Broke off a starter bolt. Here's a video I made of me extracting it without drilling or tapping in extractors. Not my idea- I found a Youtube video from a Mercedes Mechanic that had similar problem with his Suburban. His mechanic came up with this field expedient method. The pick I used was a...

I'm gonna check your diagnosis in the morning. I don't think you're wrong, but is your place fenced... I have dogs. ;)

I've noticed a leak under the Blazer that looks like it comes from the area ahead of the torque converter. While pulling my Vacuum pump to replace the POD, I see the gasket is just a memory. It's pouring rain here in Oregon, so I'll have to see later if the cause of the oil leak might have been...

So, the transmission seems to be the issue- separate from the oil leak. Ok. Over the years I've heard people with GM transmissions say "Oh, they can go in and tighten the bands," when talking about "slipping" transmissions. I've never had a transmission shop ever tell me that's what was needed...

During a 500 mile Road Trip I experienced what felt like stuck-in 2nd on the freeway. The sound just did not seem high enough, and there was a floor felt rumble. I thought I might not yet have shifted into 3rd. After sever miles, the pitch went up and, at least felt like 3rd. Any reason to...

The driveshaft once it starts to vibrate becomes worse and worse. Mine felt wrong about 20 miles into a 350 mile road trip home. I squeezed the last hundred miles, but made it home. It was the u-joint at the differential. I had replaced it less than 2 years back, but I hosed the pinion yoke...

So after checking grounds and replacing brake/signal lamp sockets on my M1009 because of intermittent failure that turned to abject failure, I finally figured out what exactly the problems was. The OEM socket, seen here with a metal ring flange that the bulb lugs lock into, had become corroded...

After adding a gauge on the passenger side- removing the block off plate and adding the bung and thermostat switch, I seldom get a temp reading on the new gauge. Seems like the switch is too short to contact the coolant. Any one else have a 100% dependable gauge? What brand?

Fellow driver indicated that my Driver rear Brake light was not working. It has been intermittant the last few months. Someone brings the condition up, I look, and it is fine?!?! I replaced the socket today, but same deal. When I check for continuity from the supply wire (on the new connector)...

Changed brake shoes and wheel cylinders. I am always a little daunted when staring into the inner workings of the drum. Took lots of pictures. First one takes the longest. I developed a new bleeding strategy: The new cylinders had regular bleeder valves. Instead of opening the valve and closing...

I used Airbrush artist Frisket Film- It has a lightweight adhesive that really clings so you don't have to worry about bleeds under the stencil. You can use the appropriate camo font, stars, etc. Scale to size, print and save the file. For future touch-ups. I ended-up shifting the print image...

When I painted my entire '09 at the Community College Paint shop my instructor told me to use the high-build Polyurethane primer on my fiberglass top- which was starting to show 'glass'. "Lay it on real heavy- three or four coats." After that I laid the Gillespie 383 on thinned with Xylene...

I noticed Spots on my Blazer a couple of days ago. Looks like brake fluid, maybe. I'm not sure, but since I'll have the wheel off to see if the drums are leaking, I'm on my way to the parts store to get some new wheel cylinders (I have brake shoes and a hardware kit on the shelf). It's been...

OK, so what I am reading here is that nothing can be done, other than replacing shocks -not even with top rated shocks it seems. The only remedy for rough-riding CUCVs is to replace all bushings. Useless ideas: Helper Springs New Leafspring Add-a-Leaf Air shocks Seems like the entire...

CUCVRUS: I know it's not a Cadillac, and I'm not about to dress it up as such- do what you want with yours. I've owned this Blazer enough years to know the ride has changed significantly. Ive owned a chevy truck since 1974, so I know they don't have to ride as poorly as mine is running now. I...

My M1009 is starting to give a rougher ride- things rattling on highway, let alone off road. Feels like I have 50 lbs of air in the tires. I'm not a suspension guy beyond shocks and sway bar bushings. What can I do to restore my suspension? Some of the post I've read here say NO to re-arched...

Have you replaced any of the turn lamp sockets before all of this started?

Recovry4x4 I like the use of garbage bags as a deterrent- brilliant! [thumbzup]

I went fishing this morning. When I got back to my Blazer, some Richard had broken my wing window out. My Get Home bag was gone. My limited tool bag was gone- not much of a loss on the tools. The GHB stung though. Insurance will cover the window. The other items are covered only under my...
