oil is good, regular changes done and is not burning or leaking. i did have a dexcool issue, it turn to a sludge. i flushed the system rplacing it with the green and rplace main hoses and overflow container.

hey all, I am stumped on this one. My 2002 avalanche 1500 5.3ltr. is acting up. I went on a freeway run worth 80 miles or so. i came home to park the truck and it started to stall out. when it died i restarted it and it sputterd eventually not starting. during several attemps to start...

The why's are just because. I was raised going to monster truck shows and I am more for mud then flexing in this truck. The blazers, unless I box-out the frame and buggy it,the body will twist right off. The skins are already starting to seperate from me trying to stand up to my buddys...

The truck is registered in Wisconsin. As for right now I am looking @ doing an 8 inch lift but looking at all options. Ideal would be on 44's and build it to fit and funtion. Offroad design's website has been helping me with a nice shopping list. My ol man has has a 1970 all original k5...

sounds like a good idea. Being fully dependent on a hydraulic system kinda made me nervous.

I am looking to do some upgrades with more lift this winter and it has came down to a cross steer or hydraulic steer on my '77 blazer. I am trying to find the most long term and univeral way about it. I am looking @ 10- 12 inches of lift and possible axle upgrade to a 1-ton or rockwells...

yes! you can only imagine how happy I was. Now I just have to find an open garage to do it. The truck doesnt fit in a regular garage. I have been using the on-base hobby shop that has tall bay doors, but they are having work done and dont have a date to when the will have it open.

WOW!! complete over look! The axle u-joint was done for. I dont know if it was dark out or what made me over look it but thank god it is not the locker. Thanks to all that replied!:rofl:

yeah last year it was all installed. Ran great for 4 months. Talking with a buddy the pinion gear may be out on it.

I took off the cover, everything looked good from what I could see. I have never taken one of them apart and I dont know much about the internals. I let it pop a few times and the pop was good enough to shake snow off the front tire. I drove in drive and reverse about 2 blocks both ways on snow/...

it does not bind in any certain spot. But like i say it binds to the point I dont want to give it gas. does it maybe need another break in period from being n/o all summer?

A year and a half ago I had a set of detroit lockers installed in my 1977 blazer ( Dana 44 front and 12 bolt rear 4:56 gear). I have not used it in just under a year. I recently changed the oil and went to run the front in 4 wheel drive, once I locked the hubs and put in 4 high the front...

i would ship them but the military shipping sucks! they always break things. i think i got it set now. my buddy has a new cummings dodge on 35's that he is gonna let me use. he says he gets mid 20's for mpg. 3x's the mpg of mine, im sold on that! thanks for all the input!

just checked with uhaul. they want $1208 to rent the smallest truck, plus cost of gas. :rofl: thanks for all your help guys. i think im just gonna have to fly home and ride one back. sucks but i will think of something else another day.

just warn down or did u have damage?

thanks man! yeah its been over a year since i have seen the fam. and this state just screams to go for a bike ride, so i need them. im just stubborn an just want to do it. BUT,i look to you guys/ ladies for input. my family laugh @ the idea i know you all would give me some good sense and...

thanks for all the input!! i have put on 500 miles this weekend (on and off road) and all worked out. just nervous cause i can feel all that rubber spin and curious if anyone had a big blow out or a wheel bearing take a crap. i just hate flying and to rent a truck would be nice just $$ if i...

i have a set of 33's for safety inspections:laughing:, but with 4:56 gears and the th350 and no overdrive i cant imagine where my rpm's would be.

i ask anyone with experience with large tires and roadtrips. :confused: i have been stressing out on a way to get 2 of my bikes here from wisconsin. i know the obvious way to ship them or ride them. but i have alot of access to tools and shops to do some things to the truck back in wisconsin. so...
