thanks buffy yes I'm digging it funny we end up talking to everyone we see everywhere we go young and old everyone seems to love it i was getting gas and a 30 something woman told me she loved my durango! i told her it was a blazer and she said you mean a bronco? said she had never seen anything like it but loved it. I smile every time i see it too. new motor should add to the party!

[schpeen]

made some progress and picked up some parts so we can finish
dropped the gas tank to remove the pump and then put the carb on

[schpeen]

I don't mind when a gal calls one of my Blazers a Bronco but when it comes from a dude I wonder about them.

someone had dropped the serpentine set up off at my mechanic to have them coated and never came back to pick them up so he let me have them for the cost of coating and they happen to match the coated headers so I kinda lucked out on that one. lol

[schpeen]

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.

[68Timber]

Vid!

[schpeen]

little bit more power over that stock motor!

video not posting for me I cut it down to 9 sec and still not posting

[schpeen]

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.

[schpeen]

few upgrades. had to install a vacuum pump and a new brake reservoir

also installed the wire harness from LMC to rewire the front window motors. they go up and down like new!

[schpeen]

got the blazer back this week

3" Superlift soft ride kit
dropped the transfer case a little and changed the pitch of the rear by using new blocks
lengthened driveshaft

Yep!

Now after all that, new tires, etc, would you go and add a lift?!?

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!

it only came up an inch in the back because it had an add a leaf back there before but it brought the front up 2.5 inches and straightened out the driveline so no more vibration on acceleration! drives great now

no sir the 33's ride perfect I've run 31's, 33's 35's and 37's. I like the 33's the best Imo the bigger size alway looks better yes but I drive the crap out of my trucks and love the 33" KM2 Blazer is so agile now it feels like I can just throw it around and it is right there with no silliness going on LOL

I want to add a twin stick next

I'm running a skinnier 34 on two trucks right now. They handle nice, look big, but still turn real effortlessly. The Super Duty trucks come factory with skinnier 34s, seems to be a good compromise.

Why did you need the vacuum pump? Cam?

[schpeen]

weirdest thing has been happening this week, sometimes the headlights and the radio have no power going to them! sometimes they will work and sometimes not. I noticed that they can be on as long as I am driving then I can cut the motor off and jump back in and restart the engine and they are both off again. sometimes I will start off and the headlights and radio are not working but they will just become energized with power and work fine until I cut the engine off and turn it back on and they will be off again with no power. seems crazy to me too! we are scratching our heads of course! lol

Do you have the rear shoulder seatbelt?
