| So I have been looking for a vehicle that would be a good do all type of vehicle. After looking at price, parts availability, and what I considered to be the ultimate small truck, I picked the Blazer ZR2. It had 4WD factory lift, well equipped, and 3/4 of a 350ci engine. I started with looking high and low on ebay, Craigs list, and local news papers. I found this one in Manchester for under 2k. It needed both front lower ball joints, idler arm, and and a passenger rear caliper. It had more codes than I have ever seen on a car, but it started right up, and got me home over 50 miles away in a rain storm, so it was worth every dime. It now needs a vave body for the transmission, and a radiator, and front axle seals to be mechanicaly sound. Beyond that, it needs a rear 02 sensor, and seconday air pump. The ad pic from Craigs list that got me hooked. Here she sits today.

What the hell are you talking about? 4L60Es love me! They just don't know how to show it. I am getting the itch for another B-body though. |

| If he didn't have to fix something, he would sell it and buy something that needed fixing.

| I'm not quite sure what it is but I like it more than your last Blazer. What are cods? Why is this in the C/K section? | |

| Nevermind. I really didn't get the codes thing. Speaking of codes, if you shop at Advance Auto Parts I have a super secret code for a good discount. Welcome to the C/K-S/T Truck section. | |
