o.k. i was getting a mental picture of 2 tapered roller bearings, seals at both ends, with a tone ring of some sort in the middle for the abs sensor to "read" off of. figured fluid wouldnt affect a magntic or tone sensor anyways. it was just a thought, not my truck anyways, i have a '97...

i changed one today in a '04 trailblazer. had a noticeable rumble and did change when cornering. jacked up the tire and had alot of play. ended up being a pretty quick change out. got a nice new 24" breaker bar that made removing the halfshaft nut a breeze. think it only took me a hour to do it...

a co-worker who has a trailblazer told me of a similar problem hers has had lately. oil pressure reads 80 while driving, says speedometer is reading wrong too, when going through town it shows 60 when she's really running about 25-35. not sure if any other of the guages are affected.

not sure if its a wrong shaft or something terribly wrong in the front diff. this is on a '02 gmc guy who owns it said he had the car lot put in a new pass side front shaft for him, not sure how he knew to look but the end that plugs into the diff has a real sloppy fit, wont push in any further...

it kinda seems like g.m. uses way too light tie rod ends for the chassis. S-blazers are good at eating ball joints also, even with regular greasing. almost seems like its done on porpose-so they can sell more replacement parts.

i did both outer tie rod ends on a '04 tb with no air tools, loosened the nut, sprayed with pb blaster penetrant, then smacked the loosened nut with a big hammer and they both popped free easily. i did have my pickle fork with me but didnt need it.

thank you!

well, its going once again, i checked everything over, had voltage where it was supposed to, and even though the old motor could be "jumpered", it wouldnt run when plugged in to the module. put a new blower in and no problems, even sounds like its moving more air than the old one was. (but that...

around these parts, you's earn yourself a "failure to control" ticket if the police got involved. revenue generation!, thats what the cops really seem to be around for...

well 2 days later i hear the blower aint working at all, time to go do voltage checks & possibly replace the blower motor. they sure dont make things like they used to. on edit, a few hours later: well, im confused. i checked for voltage and it was there, seemed to have a good ground at the...

gosh, i dont know what part # was on the box, left all that in her truck when i left it last night. didnt notice at the time that there was no pcv valve, but now that youve mentioned it, i do recall just a hose from the valve cover to the air silencer box, figured it drew air at that spot, but i...

she stopped by a gm stealership today and got the module, was $107, 6 bucks for a can of throttle body cleaner spray. new module has no plug-in socket for the 3 wires coming from the dash controls, has one long plug. the harness that plugs into the module has the plug with wires that goes into...

i found the fuse to pull today when i got to look at the truck, i was told the truck had a issue last night but was unable to go check it out right away. places i check were autozone & advance auto. i looked online at o'reilys & napa, it looked like the correct part on the napa site, but you...

im working on a co-workers vehicle, its a '04 trailblazer, 4.2 6, auto temp controls, blower stays running, determined its the module, cant seem to find it anywhere. dealer only part? the picture above looks like it shows both the digital controler and the resistor version for the manual climate...
