Daughter is off at College, she will be taking her Bravada to school next year. Here's my laundry list before she goes.
I've had the unit 4 years bought it wrecked off ebay with 102,000 on it for $2900 first time getting it on the road before she was 16 cost me an additional $4000 to make it look and run new, I'm picky (the seats never suited me)


New front and rear seats found on Ebay out of a Blazer LT
Install the perfect 3000 mile black hood I bought 3 years ago.
Moog ball joints (lower)
Energy Suspension front sway bar bushings
Bilstein HD shocks up front
New Delphi fuel pump and sender
New cheap headlights off ebay, update cheap head lights were crap, I had to pollish the old ones
New transmission crossmember (old one is rusted and weakened)
Replace coolant (green stuff) 2nd time
Tune up w/ wires, never missed yet, always made my Crew Cab seem rough after driving this.
New serp belt and idler

Before

Pretty sweet rig.

Jim,
You still have the magic touch!

Did the lower ball joints today, not as easy as the GM manual says. I thought I may only need to remove the axle nuts and separate the lower joint and that was it, not enough room to get off that lower joint with the darn axle in the way. I wound up separating the upper joint also allowing me to pull the spindle free. So the caliper, speed sensor wire and the brake hose need pulled off there supports. Only took 2.5 hours for both sides.
Then the Bilstein shocks and the energy suspension front sway bar kit.
Then the new transmission cross member went in.
A good 7 hour job for all that stuff. I'm draggin now, it's been 19 years since I worked on cars for a living, I'll see if I can move tomorrow.

Most all work is completed, I put the cap and rotor on today, it looks like it was tuned up just before I got it four years and 16,000 miles ago. Cap was covered in white/gray dust inside and the contacts were pitted black on one side, no corrosion at all. The cap didn't have brass contacts. Plug wires and plugs must have been done back then too. I could make out part of the word Champion on one of the plugs so I know they arn't origional. I used the old distributor cap screws over, they didn't have any thread lock but were rusty. the screws that came with the Accel cap had a different thread pitch and I was afraid of busting the plastic distributor so I didn't use them. Lubricant for the old screws was water which serves as thread locker when the screw rusts. This thing never missed a beat so I don't think it will run any better, this was just PM.

All good for another four years
