Proof I drove it today! For once I was there buying carwash (not for the Blazer), not parts.
I'm questioning things, so allow me to ramble some tonight....
As I said before, I had installed some angled (not quite) 1" blocks in hopes of fixing a bad rear driveshaft vibration - no go.
The vibration may be somewhat better but it's still aweful. I DO NOT want to spend the money on a CV driveshaft because right now it's so far out of the budget it aint funny but that may be my only resort if I intend to drive it on the street.
Something else that's bugging me is the front 52's, way soft and "boat-ish". I expected this and I'm not ready to give up yet because I don't have shocks so the ride is probably exaggerated. That said, I'm really thinking about going back to a stock length spring like a Tuff Country 6" to bring back some of the streetability. I don't know.... I don't hate the way it drives now but I'm not sure if I'm going to like the way it rolls in a turn and never really rights itself until an opposite turn, it's like it constantly drives with a lean to one side or the other.
Oh yeah, the carb has a huge dead spot that sucks too but it runs really smooth and pulls
strong. burnout
I also finally swapped my electric window regulators for manual, such an easy job! I had been dreading doing it because I thought it would be a tricky PITA but it was super easy. I think it took longer to get each door panel off than it did to swap the regulators. It's nice to have the windows down for the first time in the 10 years I've owned it.
