  1. If you can have 5 little pictures, I would think i can just have one big one. Just push your screen away when you scroll past my posts
  2. Oh and hey if you want more pics go to my link in my sig. It has the entire build on it and some video's.
  3. I was just thinking about PSYCHOPATHY. I can be a bit over the edge at times and the truck looks crazy so why not? I just never liked it because i only used two rigs to build it. My mazer had parts from 10 or more vehicles on it.
  4. Oh that's because that picture was taken in Texas. Everythings bigger down there. JK . I dont't know why its so big, I think that was a crappy cell phone i took it with?
  5. Hopefully Rolling wont be to much of an issue once i get the body lift out and install the suspension winches My main goal for now is running and driving on her own. Well running is not an issue. i just have to build an engine. Ive ran her before on first try. No wiring issues or cooling problems. Managed to suck down a gallon of gas during test and tune.
  6. Yeah but nothing on it is from a blazer. That would be good though if it was K5 parts.
  7. Okay so years ago i put a Mazda B2000 cab onto a K5 Blazer chassis. We all called it the Mazer on a good day and Blazda on the bad ones. Here are the words to work with: Nissan Pathfinder or Pathy Chevrolet or Chevy Silverado ( I think this was the trim package on the donor, correct me if I am wrong.) Ok have at it because I am stumped. Insults are welcomed also
  8. Finally got a shop and it's back to the build!

  9. No need to worry about hurting the carrier bearing. There isn't one on it. At least I've never seen one with it. A carrier bearing is usually found on a two piece drive line on longer wheel base vehicles Like Some long bed pickups, extra cabs, 4 door trucks etc. Ive had my rear stretched pretty far and never gotten so much as a wimper out of a u joint or any drive line related parts so you should be fine lifting it a reasonable amount without modding it. I think if you got too high the first mod would be the slip yoke eliminator to keep the rear drive line from falling out but you'd have to be up there a ways for that.
  10. IF you are going to wheel it..... I had an 87 and i drive a 90 . I stripped the 87 for parts. The autos have 4.63 gear ratio and the mans are only 4.37 . I swapped the front and rear into mine . The only thing i had to change was the inner axles on the front so my cv's would bolt up. You shouldn't have to since yours is a 89. Now i have a lowered geared rig that is pretty trail capable on rocks an such .
  11. Heres something i saw while i was working for my uncle in his transmission shop. We had a few fleet accounts and well construction workers are always messing with each other . This van came in leaking trans fluid every where. I put it on the lift and found 5 or so pennies duct taped to the drive shaft. The vibrations caused by this had busted the bell housing and broke the right side off of the engine block that the tranny bolted to. My uncle said theyd probably end up with some rear pinion problems as well. I am sure this would have some effect on cv shafts also. No harm in trying. Well no harm to you anyways. So 5 pennies = new engine block, tranny case , pinion bearing And @!*%loads of labor!
  12. Thats a good one. even if he had the tool you have to pull the tires and debead the outside edge to shove the new stem in . Good thinkin!
  13. No need to be rude , you are the first person who brought any usable info as to what may be wrong other than the guy who called it a pos , so we wont count him. Thats all i wanted was what this guy posted . But in fact it is not just frikkin selectable. That makes it sound like theres a switch . I looped the orange wire back together and now i have a normal blow up at 6450 pathy like everyone else here.
