Blaze One

I just returned from a fishing vaction . I was towing a 1100lbs. trailer behind me . And I could not get that thing above 45mph on a average hill in the mountains . The tranny was downshifting if I put my foot to the floor but it would take for ever to go any faster . I even tried driving in "3" ins...

Blaze One

I have thought of this my self , Is this going to be a daily driver ? , are you going to need to have alot of articulation ? When you go with a sfa , you are most likely goin with a tire larger than 35's , so you would also need to change your gears front and rear . ( depending on the axle you get f...

I suppose it is in candian dollars : 1.10 Per Liter x 3.78Liter for one gallon = about $4.15 a gallon . Then convert to USDollars

Blaze One

I have a 99 4dr 4X4 blazer , I get about 200 Miles to the tank . 3.73 gears , 75% city 25%highway , But I am desparate need of a tune up aswell . And I think my truck wieghs more than the Crews .

Blaze One

About the doors not being aligned and squeeking . Mine need to be lubed every month and I have had the hinge pins replaced twice in 2 yrs . They are really heavy and Chevrolet Cheaped out agian on this area .

Blaze One

I mentioned it already in the other thread but I am paying the equivalent to $4.15 Per Gallon here . HOly Crap !
I spend about $10 a day on gas . 87oct .
The Cheveron stations and husky stations around here give you 90 octance for the price of regular

Blaze One

I guess they are the best out there .
What is the price difference between the OEM replacements and the upgraded MOOG parts ?

Blaze One

i don't know much about the class system either , but a class II would have costed me more because they make less of them . Go figure . And they discontinued the class I for my truck . It kinda sucks that I could not get a hitch with a 5000lb rating , to match the towing capacity of my truck . But I...

Blaze One

its a 1.5" reciever . I don't know why though . I have not seen to many . The Class III on the front of my dads truck has a 2" . I dunno .

Blaze One

Its a Class III , 300lbs tounge wt. 3500lbs pull wt. Drawtite . I wanted to get a more better one but just could not come up with the funds quickly enough . I guess i cant use this as a recovery point could I ? oh well . It hides nice though . Click the link to see a pic . http://www3.telus.net/publ...

Blaze One

thanks for the part numbers .

Blaze One

Which model Bilsteins are they ?

Blaze One

I have 89000 Miles on my 99 blazer . I am the second owner and I am sure the balljoints have not been replaced . I had a dealership inspect it for a trade in value and they said I needed new ones upper and lower. I don't have very precise steering and it's kinda sloppy . I had the pitman and idler a...

Blaze One

i can only dream of ever having my blazer like yours. it is crazy that's for sure.

Blaze One

thats cool , this is a crew cab forum . I am considering trading my blazer in for a xterra or taco anyway . So i need to really think about what mods i will be doing , if any now . Your kit will be the only one worth the money I'm sure . Good luck .

Blaze One

proabably is , but doesn't his sig say he already has a 6" SL and a BL . if he wants more hieght he is going to have to go with a SFA . a tbar crank would hardly be noticeable with that much lift already .

Blaze One

may i suggest taking a look a bubaloos fender flares . they look great and will give you extra clearance needed for a larger tire . with out the risk of broken/worn out front end parts .

Blaze One

well I have been using two names on discussion boards . When it is a car/truck related forum I use "blaze one" because I drive a Blazer and I have "one" and because i have been known to "blaze one" once in awhile The other I use is "Mr.Pink" . Because i like the character " Mr. Pink" for the movie r...

Blaze One

hmmmm.... this seems intersesting , I can only hope that it is adaptable to fit a 99 blazer 4dr . can u give me that much info ?

Blaze One

sounds good , so there is nothing that is going to "short out" .?

Blaze One

yeah there probably is , it's just that when you want to search the net for the DEALS , it is pretty limited to the usa . That's all I am sayin .

Blaze One

on a related note : Is there anything I , or anyone , should be sealing or protecting underneath the truck ? or is it all waterproof/non affected items under there ( not under the hood ) ? I know the tranny has some electrical plugs and there are some other things to that look like they are proned t...

Blaze One

This is the time when i hate living in Canada . I would not beable to get the shocks at a good price , because after the Border Fees and Extra Shipping costs i end up losing money . Congrats on the purchases though

Blaze One

I don't have a welder so I was wondering which kit is the easiest to install and would required the least amount of custom metal fab . I would love a kit that was just a " bolt on " kinda deal , where I would not have to Cut or weld anything . I guess cutting is fine but I can't weld . Are any of th...

Blaze One

Hello there , I am a Blazer owner too , this is a great site and you will find much info that can be applied to the blazer too . I too can't wait until Bubaloo starts the flares for the 4dr Blazers . I only plan on doing a bl/tbarcrank lift to start . But would like to ask a few questions about your...

Blaze One

Ahh Haaa , i see those would be on the alignment rack . DUH ! I was never good at reading instructions . I will check my specs later this evening since it is like 35 degress celsius here and i am roasted from fishing all day .

I gather the measument points are on the front control arm right ?

Blaze One

I would but i don't understand those instructions ( i think it's just me ) How do i remove the aligment rack floating plate pins ??

Blaze One

I have notice the sag on alot of the 2dr. models . however the front of my truck is lower than the rear , suggesting my tbars are not set right and/or they are sagging . The rear ride height seems to look correct , but the springs may have lost some of there strength . I plan on putting shackles in ...

Blaze One

My Blazer came with a rear sway bar . I could change it out for an aftermarket one i guess.
But I know my shocks are gone( bouncy bouncy) so I think there next on the list . And when I go over a speed bump the rear almost hits the bumpstops more than when i first bought it .

Blaze One

So what shock would help get rid of body roll the most ?

Blaze One

I bought a Shadow Mount Class 2 hitch at crappy tire . it should be here by tues or wednesday .I let you know how it fits/looks .
Anyone have any experience with a shadow mount hitch ?

Blaze One

nice rack :wink: I don't know how much it would cost to ship but I will probably be taking my reciever off soon here within a month when I get a rear bumper made so if you want it for pretty cheap pm me and we can talk :D it is a round tube like adrenalnjunky has That would be nice but I need one b...

Blaze One

Well if i don't have the cash to buy a decent hitch now , I wll just use the bumper ball for this trip . $250 CND is not alot of money , but thats a big chunk outa my camping fund for the trip .
I appreciate the replys and info . Thanks. I will let up know how it goes .

Blaze One

Is that 125 US dollars ? if so , HOLY CRAP hitches are expensive then . I am going to go with a class 2 or 3 i guess , I don't want to have to buy another hitch if I ever want to pull somethin heavy down the line . Thanks for the tips .

Blaze One

looks good thanks for the info , But i was wondering if there is a " very Light duty " hitch out there . the boat iam towing is very light ( aluminum)
But maybe i should go for a heavy duty hitch and mount some recovery hooks on it so i have them for use in the future.

Blaze One

ok so if found the trailer harness , and i attatch my correct plug to it . As far as wiring goes i am set . But... I was just goin to use the bumper with a hitch ball on it , to tow my trailer . But the bumper is too high . So i have to find a Light duty Hitch ( cheaper the better ) so I can tow the...

Blaze One

i really don't know much about this subject . But i believe that you would have to use High oct. pump gas with those FI units , and they don't really help milliage , just power . I think gearing maybe a solution , and possibly a programer , and free up the flow of air ( exhaust/ induction etc .) Try...

Blaze One

ummm... I don't know right now , I have to make sure that the plug with connect with the plug on my trailer .

Blaze One

yeah i am waiting for the production of Blazer 4dr flares , since this is my DD and i can't spend $2000 plus install for a 6" lift , the Cutouts and BL w/31's will look good for me .

Blaze One

wow , thanks for the help , I let you know how it all goes , I am work so i can't check it out right now , but it looks like that is what i need to know .

Blaze One

I try another search but i did not come across anything , but maybe i missed it . Thanks

Blaze One

Upon further inspection I have found a group of up to 4 wires bundled up with a zapstrap behind the bumper on the drivers side . I could only identify 2 wires though . One is Light green and the other is Light Blue . they had a sticker saying " disconnect battery before removing sticker . I could no...

Blaze One

No prob . you have been on top of every question of mine . I have alot since iam just starting to have time to " fine tune " my truck to my tastes . And i have a nice camping/fishing trip planned so iam gonna need my boat .
I take a look around back there maybe i missed something .

Blaze One

gotcha , if it ain't broke I am not fixed it .

Blaze One

I would like to tow my boat trailer . But I don't know which wires to use in order to have L/R signal , Brakes , Back Lights . I have the plug already on my trailer , but no harness on my truck . But the wires are back there , so can i just splice into them and make my own plug/harness to connect to...

Blaze One

ok sounds good then , it may have been oxidation then . I gather it is not good to get carb cleaner on the sensores then .

Blaze One

Thanks for the info , I did not want to create another thread so I am adding a question to this one . Feel free to start a new topic, for a new topic-HJ When i changed my air filter , I notice that there is a very very fine black film/dust on the round pc. of metal with holes in it up inside the box...

Blaze One

ok that sounds about right then . my needle is in the 12 o'clock positon at highway/ driving speeds . and lower at idle .

Blaze One

Well i found out that with Bub's Flares you can run a 31" tire with no lift . But it would look better with a minor lift , I think .

Blaze One

uh oh , I just looked at a oil pressure guage on a USADM Crew Cab . And the gauge is numbered different . 40 is in the middle ( where 275 is on mine ) so that means that if all your guages read 40 as the norm . then mine which usally reads to the left of that by about a 1/4 of a inch . meaning my oi...

Blaze One

no I don't plan too . I am waiting to see if Bubaloo comes up with some flares for the blazers and then i was goin to do a BL and tbarcrank and shackles in the rear .

Blaze One

ok thank god ! . I thought since it was so low and not at 275 like when you are on the gas , that there was sometin wrong .
I have 89500 MILEs on my truck , is that alot ? when do these engines wear out ?

Blaze One

What should my oil pressure gauge be at when the truck is at full running temp and at idle ?

Blaze One

31.8" ... well thats good enough for me then . No i don't have a lift now , I am just planning for the near future so i can get an idea of what i need to buy .

Blaze One

Thanks , I dont plan on doing any offroading where i would be air down . I like the looks of those tires anyway .

Blaze One

So i have been lookin around for some 32" M/t . I like the BFG mt's but they on come in a 32x11.50r15 . I thought i could find a 32x10.50 but there does not seem to be that size . or am I missing somethin? ? And would a 11.50 fit on a stock rim ? and would rubbing be more of an issues since it is 1"...

Blaze One

They look good , I don't think that it is nice to say a negative comment about a product in which we had no involvment when it came to installation . He made a great product . it is now up to the installer to keep it that way .

Blaze One

I personally would just take the install on bubs truck as the one to address the quality , since you can really screw things up if you don't install something right and that can make a great product look like crap . These don't look like crap if you install them correct .

Blaze One

i agree those flares are a major modification project . But the idea of external screw heads is cool , the nissan frontiers have those kind of flares .

Blaze One

holy shat ! those are some big cutouts . those are a little outa my reach but a great look on that ls1 zr2 .

Blaze One

is it possible to get some pics from looking "down" on the flare/fender area too see what part of the fender is still showing ?

Blaze One

yeah it seems like there is enough room . 32's would be nice .

Blaze One

I agree , ihave a JVC headunit and stock speakers with a 12" sub with a 800w amp to power it and I get many complements on the quality and clear sound . Although when Future Sh*t installed my amp i somehow lost the use of the driverside rear door speaker . I guess that is what the amp is hooked on t...

Blaze One

I found the bolt for the bracket thingy that the filter is in and there is no way i can reach it with a tool . It may be different on a 4dr Blazer though . I am taking it in for a tune up so they can install it . But cleaning out the tb does make a nice improvment though . What are some other things...

Blaze One

Lets just say , i did not even get it off the truck ! how do you get to this thing ??. I am just goin to leave it and let the garage put it in when i get a tune up . On another note , I did clean out my Throttle body , HOLY CRAP was there a lot of black stuff in mine . after cleaning it my rough idl...

Blaze One

that is freakin sweet . I wish it came from the factory like that . I can't wait to lift my blazer . By the looks of the new photos i bet you can get a larger tire in there . Looks great the way it is though .

Blaze One

What size lift and tires are you goin to put on now , since you must have 31's now , do you think it is possible to run a 32"M/T with the lift you have now and the flares ?

Blaze One

great info ! thanks

Blaze One

Thanks for the pics and info , nice trucks makes me wish i bought a CC instead .

Blaze One

that truck looks freakin nice ! I only wish i had the skills to do that .

Blaze One

Do you have any before pics ? I would really like to see a pic before the Bl,Tbarcrank/shackles so I could compare .
Looks really nice though , what kind of front bar/light setup is that ?

Blaze One

What do i want to do with my truck ? hmm... well I want it to be higher and more "aggresive" looking than a ZR2 . Which means I would like to run atleast a 31" tire or hopefully a 32" if I use skidz flares ( in the works ) As far as use , well I will be going on rough logging road with some mud but ...

Blaze One

Better to be safe then sorry I guess . Nice truck . Thanks .

Blaze One

Thanks for the advice .

Blaze One

ok . so I will only put them in the rear . I am waiting to see if Bubaloo makes some 4dr flares or not . So I was thinking that if I do a 2"BL , 1" tbar And then when i cut the fenders for the flares I was hoping to fit a 32" tire in there . bubaloo said I can run a 31" with out a lift at all , so m...
