    Ok thanks. I did end up having to cut the pipes.

    M1009 Lift Adventure

    Thank you. Did you try running it without the extensions? If you did, did the cabin fill with more fumes than normal? I'm trying to decide if I can just cut it like you did not put any extensions on it.

    Fuel Tank Strap Bolt Broken

    If I have to buy new straps do I buy them for a 25 or 30 gallon tank?

    Front driveshaft upon lifting

    I think you're right. I just came back inside from working on the truck and, at full droop with the new springs, the driveshaft turns smoothly with no binding.

    fuel bleeding problem

    The truck will run with a non functioning fuel pump, you may have just uncovered that you have a bad lift pump. When I bleed my system it takes about 5-10 seconds for the fuel to shoot out of the filter housing.

    Front driveshaft upon lifting

    Two more questions. 1. Where are the stops? 2. Can you grind them with driveshaft installed?

    The lock at the end of the chain

    I have the U.S. marked lock on the chain for the steering wheel in my 09 and I'm wondering if finding a key is possible.

    Sounds simple enough. Thanks guys.

    Front driveshaft upon lifting

    I asked the guys over at ORD about lifting the Blazers 4" and they sent this back about the front driveshaft. "The front driveshaft has “stops” that limit the angle it can take, because at stock height they want the driveshaft to not be able to reach the ground in case a u-joint breaks. You...

    Power loss and roaring sound

    Could it be the fan? When the motor on my 89 suburban got hot, the fan would kick on. It would give a noticeable power loss and create a roaring sound.

    Blazer up the Chute at Three Feathers : need more droop

    Doesn't look that bad to me. Video quality was rough but I didn't hear any tires spinning. I remember when the chute was the only way down that hill, before people blazed the other paths.

    Another not starting post.

    Did you ever call out the dude that sold it to you? It sounds like he's got a thing or two coming.
