    Aluminum side molding removal

    I don’t see any 3M tape, but can get a peek at the metal clips. Plus seeing as it moves back and forth freely until the “closed” end up by the door hits one of those clips would indicate it’s not taped. Don’t know how to get those darned clips to release without breaking something.

    Aluminum side molding removal

    Any tricks or special tools for removing the aluminum rear side molding on my 75 Blazer? I remove the screw back by the tailgate and can easily slide the molding back a few inches until the front end hits the clip. How do you release the molding from the clips without destroying anything?

    Drove it! Beautiful January day, sunny and highs around 60. Went to town for horse and dog food, a couple groceries, picked up dry cleaning and stopped at the ABC store. (For those outside VA or the USA, ABC is the state-run liquor store) Tomorrow the Blazer goes to the paint and body shop to...

    Oh Jeez, too funny. When my daughter saw the Blazer she said something to the effect “Leave it to dad to get a plate that is pronounced Booby”.

    I noticed the other night that my LH headlight was failing, so went ahead and replaced both headlights. While I was at it cleaned and painted the battery tray and hardware. Simple job but worth it.

    @JamesSam i bought my new tank, pump/sending unit and selector valve from Oreilly. All fit great and worked fine for the years prior to selling the truck. (My 1987 R1500, 350 TBI)

    Taking advantage of the nasty weather and continuing detailing the underside. Back in 2015/2016 the company I worked for had an open house for nuclear utility bigwigs to tour our shop and we had these hats made up and handed out. They were snatched up!

    Helps prevent corrosion. WD-40 was developed by the Rocket Chemical Company under contract to the DOD to protect the thin aluminum outer shells of nuclear warheads from corrosion as they stood in their silos. Water Displacement Formula # 40 (hence WD40) was the ticket. Eventually the DOD...

    Several smaller jobs today. Replaced the cowl screen after spraying the inside of the cowl with WD40 and wiping it down. Cowl was very clean, no rust. Then replaced the tailgate glass guides as the old ones were chipped and broken. Replaced the firewall power distribution block and PCV valve and...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Installed a super high-tech security system! Seriously, the Blazer is parked in a locked building when not out for a drive as per insurance requirements but I was always nervous about parking it somewhere, like Lowe’s or Tractor Supply while I grabbed a few things as it is stupid easy for...

    Head versus manifold coolant temps

    When I installed my new radiator and electric fans, I installed the fan temp switch (190 F turn on) in the left side head. The coolant temperature sensor is installed in the intake manifold and was not touched. Normal coolant temps run right around 190 F. and can be monitored via the Dakota...

    Father-Daughter Shop Day

    Not to be outdone by the daughter, the wife helped with changing the oil and filter on her Jeep. :love62: I needed the Jeep a bit higher as you can see, but then she wouldn’t be able to reach things.

    Father-Daughter Shop Day

    Yes, it’s a LS5 454 from a 71 Chevelle. A bit overkill for a Blazer but it’s hell for cool. Daughter picked up the basics pretty quick! Earlier she wanted to learn land navigation using only a topo map and compass. I was really surprised at how quickly she picked that up! By the second day I...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    New 140 amp Summit alternator arrived today and the install went without a hitch. As I posted previously I added a separate 4 awg charge wire (overkill but had a bunch of it) in addition to the factory charge wire. Also added a terminal block by battery to accept the new charge wire and the fan...

    67 Mile V10

    Interesting news video in the comments section. Apparently this and around 25 other low mileage vehicles were owned by two brothers who were killed by police in a standoff. Brothers had over 1000 guns and 140,000 rounds of ammo but not sure what the standoff was over.
