My blazer had a good weekend. Had a new dash pad put in painted black. Painted the door panels black. Got some junk yard lower door panels from a 86 blazer installed. A junk yard engine compartment hood liner in GREAT shape with the plastic plugs to keep in place. Under coated the whole truck...
Since glow plugs seem to be the word of the day lets try this. My wait light does not come on at all when I first turn the key. I replaced the glow plug circut card with a known good one. I get the thud of the relay working but still no light. on occasion it comes on while driving down the...
Well luck was with me today!! Im in Gary Indiana for a job and have been here for about 3 weeks. I was bored so I went for a ride. While on my ride enjoying my 1009 I come across a pick and pull, I decide to stop and take a look around. I pay my dollar entrance fee and ask which way to the...
This was is strange for me. My 1009 was running perfect no issues at all. Im on the road in Gary indiana and the truck was in las vegas. It sat for about 2 weeks and a transport company picked it up to ship to me. At pickup the truck driver had no issues starting it. It arrived in Gary and...
Having trouble with my wait light not coming on, is the dash grounded to the wire by the emergency brake. The wait light will sometimes come on while driving down the street the truck is well warmed up. I do have a push button to engage glow plugs.
Started doing the service on my blazer before my road trip to Gary Indiana, Im leaving from Las Vegas. I had the trans fluid and filter changed last year after the truck had been sitting for almost 7 years. The truck has a fluid drain on the transmission, it took less than 15 mins to change...
Looking for answers before I dig to deep. Yesterday my blazer starter started acting funny. Volts show high in green. Turn key all I get is a click, turn key off then forward to start it starts with half a crank. Batteries are new, voltage when running is 14.5 or a little more at both...
So I did the mexico thing with my 1009 now I am going to take it to Gary In. Taking the southern route. I will be doing some consulting work for a casino. Leaving on the 29th of May. Any suggestions on good stops. If time allows I may go to New Orleans.
I have a head gasket leak on the drivers side closest to the fire wall. I am getting no loss of anti freeze or water. It is the head gasket I had a few people look at it. The leak really doesnt bother me. I have been driving the truck for 5 months now no issues. My question is I want to...
I just saw an in-line temp gauge by flex-a-lite in the janurary edition of 4 wheel and off road mag page 85. It is installed by cutting the upper hose of the radiator inserting the piece between the cut pieces and using hose clamps on either side of the inserted piece. then a regular off the...
Wel finally got the blazer running the way I want, so I took it to San Felipe Mexico. This was the first long trip since doing the work to it. Drove the almost 500 miles only stopping for fuel. I got over 21mpg on the way down I kept the speed around 70mph so if something broke I would hear it...
My blazer has a leaking head gasket. It is only leaking oil and no water is getting in the oil. The leak is at the rear of the drivers side between the head and block. When parked it leaves a golf ball size oil spot. I use the truck everyday without issues, I just check the oil every couple...
