Well I’m finally back at it. Had to stop work on my Blazer while I planned my retirement and move. Removed the brake calipers to get them ready for blasting. Blasted the inner fenders, battery tray and vacuum ball mount to get them ready for powder coating.

Repair Question What is this line called?

7 Upvotes

Pic is from the tail gate looking toward the front of the car, left hand side. I’m pretty sure it’s a brake line of some kind because my brake pedal suddenly became spongy. I just don’t know what this portion of it is called and if I can get a replacement. Sorry if I’m stupid (probably am) I just haven’t been able to figure it out even with diagrams lmao

My cattle dog twins chewed through the line btw for anyone wondering

Repair Question I am stumped- noise?

5 Upvotes

Recently put on a new back tire on the side that this noise is coming from, as well as a differential fluid change at the same time.

Was running on the full sized spare, the previous tire had a blow out from the last owner and a month later I finally got a new replacement, proper sized, off terrain, slightly thicker tread then the last tire, no rubbing marks on tire.

The noise only happens going on bumps and turning left for some reason (or sometimes really hard rights). No suspension rubber bushings looked out of place or anything, noticed some scratches on the inner rim but they seem to shallow for what this particular noise is. Ideas??

Looking at a 2003 2wd ext cab with 4.3 5sp power windows/door locks and 70k miles in Ca for $10k and they won’t budge. Is this too much?

Advice Fair price?

Realistically, how much could I sell my 2000 S10 base model, 2.2L, 5-speed manual, RWD for? It’s got 150k miles on it. The picture is from when the clutch pedal bushings went out.

The good
- New stainless headers and downpipe
- New front bearings with new rotors
- New steering assembly (Tie rods, Idler arm, Link bar).
- New clutch pedal bushings
- coolant flushed and replaced; no more Dex-Cool
- brake pads have plenty of life including rear drums
- new upper control arm bushings
- heater works really well
- replaced alternator along with new belt
- new starter

Details
- has had regular maintenance
- never overheated to my knowledge and has never gone above 225 F
- interior is complete but there are cracks and broken pieces; it has everything needed to operate.
- I plan on doing a little more maintenance like flushing and replacing all fluids. Possibly replace the valve cover seal and do a tune-up, including spark plugs and wires.

The bad
- is leaking oil from the valve cover; doesn’t lose much oil
- seeps from the rear main seal and the rear differential seems to have sealed itself back up but I plan on replacing all of the fluids that I haven’t already.
- Wheels on it are warped and don’t balance well; missing some beauty covers and hubcaps have another set that aren’t warped but need new tires.
- Ac doesn’t work; the plug broke not sure if that’s the main issue even if the plug wasn’t broken
- Putting a new blower motor in right now; it squeaks
- Minor body damage and one bigger dent on driver door.
- tailgate works but it has the normal semi fucked up release handle
- hood release handle broken but can still pop it with the wire.
- paint isn’t the greatest; has chipped-off areas but mostly looks fine from a distance.
- radio is locked; either gonna get the code or replace with a CarPlay system

Overall a good truck that definitely needs some love but it's nothing super necessary at the moment. I think it’ll last pretty long with routine maintenance.

Repair Question Motor mount fitment

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hey so I am curious about using these motor mounts instead of just welding up my own. I know it'll fit on my 454bbc but I'm currently wondering about my subframe and firewall fitment. It's definitely a tight fitment and I have the brakes and the steering column figured out but if anyone has done this before what did you have to do to make these work. It is a 1994 that original had the 4.3 and a 5speed stick.

Ps. I know it's the cheapest ones and I plan to look for more quality but similar ones but I'd rather weigh my pros and cons from given info first before I do all of that.

Thank you!
