What do you think about the setup being weaker now?
The area that held the steering "forces" was split over the whole 5-1/4+ piece, now, the contact point/area is much less, do you think this should be a concern?

Air + Dex = BAD Tell me about it! I went through this already because of a bad intake manifold gasket. But I'm sticking to dexcool. Although there was this leak, it seems I caught it on time because I haven't seen any sludge (yet :( ). I topped the bottle and it seems the "new" gasket has made the ...

Well guess what. My temp reading went up to 2 lines below 210 (where it was supposed to be, I guess). On long uphill stretches (and we have quite a few in my part of the world), it went beyond 210 and back down smoothly. Before changing the gasket, the gauge used to jump up and down beyond 210 befor...

Hi everybody, Updating on my cap from last summer. The fiber upper gasket gave way, it was leaking very slightly and an orangy powder was forming around the edges. I found a rubber gasket in my toolbox which was quite thick and replaced it. I'm not sure how it will hold. I kinda like the stock look ...

Thanks.
Is this setup standard on other cars/trucks. I never heard the Blazer make those whining noises from the power steering that other cars (drove a Cherokee for a while) do. keeps the steering in better shape ?

The cap's # is RC 82 and the bigger/upper gasket is probably fiber but the lower one is rubber.
I'm keeping an eye on it and on the coolant level, looking good for now :(

Just changed my cap last week. Got the GM one (# RC92 ??). It was labeled for dexcool and most important, the small valve in the middle of the cap (the one that gets the coolant back from the overflow) has a spring as opposed to the traditional design which is a loose valve. check this link for reco...

hot feet fix on a blazer ?

Hi guys,

first visit and first post :( .
Does anyone know if the fix applies to blazers? I have a 97 LT, no pass side airbag, so the glove box is not under the dash.
Anyone has done it before ?

thanx
