Monday, December 30th, 2024: Ordered Wilwood front/rear brakes and a 3.55 geared 3rd member, which catches us up to today.


Fresh off the GM Tailgate Tour, I am hoping to get this at least in the driving dependable state for GM Tailgate Tour 2026.

Although nothing has been updated on this project it did have progress but I refused to post it.  Work was done, it didnt work and I was frustrated from about 2019-2022. 

In July 2022 I dropped the Blazer off at a Chassis Shop.


Friday, September 6th, 2024: I got updated that work was being done with pictures on a frame table.

Friday, November 7th, 2024: I got notification that is was being Test fit with the body.

I'm going to ask you to do a few basic tests in a particular order.  Do no more than I ask in each step.  The process will take longer, but it should minimize introducing wild cards that could complicate diagnosis.  Be patient.

Begin with the transmission in Park and the park brake firmly set.  Clip your test light to a visibly clean ground and probe the battery cable lug at the starter solenoid (this validates that the test light has a sound ground connection).  Next, have an assistant attempt to crank the starter while you probe the "S" terminal on the solenoid.  Does the test light illuminate normally bright while attempting to crank?

One that has two wires from the fusible link, one red goes up to the alternator connector. The alternator connector also has a brown wire that goes to the bulkhead. There's another red wire, probably a 10ga, that runs up to the junction block, and the last red one goes to the bulkhead. All connected at the starter on the bat post. Purple on s post. None on r.
