I used a TH400 auto transmission bolted to the LB7 during the first trial fitting sessions in Lil Red's chassis. The TH400 was lighter than the...

Sarah chose the "skelly" spare tire cover shown here... :eek: sorta goes with the Blazer's theme...;) This shot almost shows the spare tire mount...

Sarah's been driving her Blazer in the city off and on this summer, and reports that she gets quite a few approving "looks" from some of the town...

Seat of the pants performance of a nicely built 6.5TD would approximate a healthy stock gas TBI 7.4L 454, whether driving unloaded or towing. A...

a 6.5 with mechanical pump would probably be the easy way to go. Considering the weight of your camper should do fine. If your going to tow/haul...

I have now come to the conclusion that LSD type is preferable given my use of the truck, daily driving, and work on the farm, the only off-road is...

And kids that have sweat equity in a vehicle tend to take better care and have more appreciation for them.

This sort of project having been a hands on for Sarah is such a plus. Reading about it or watching a video about doing stuff is just eclipsed many...

I'm sure there are many good options, but my preference is Auburn. I have their cone-type LSD in my 85 Blazer (12 bolt axle), and it's worked very...

Thanks Dave and Robyn! Sarah also shot some of the video and stills used in this video. She had 100% confidence in the end result as we worked...

Plus get the best winter tires you can. Living in the Yukon with 6 months of potential winter conditions i have found that Bridgestone Blizzakk's...

I have had exactly that idea. Just cut a 1 inch steel plate same profile as box bed to add weight. Farmer solution I will call it.

I had a 54 Ford 1/2 ton got stuck real easy. I bolted an 1 1/4 in thick scraper cutting edge across the back of the bed adding about 300 lbs to the...

I have now learned more and understand that my question above is irrelevant so forget that one. I like the explanation you wrote earlier and I now...

Thank you for good explanation. My truck is all original so if I can solve the problem "getting stuck on flat surface just because one wheel on ice"...

Introduction: This "Murdered Out" 1994 6.5L Turbo Diesel Chevy Blazer was brought Back from the Dead after the engine sat in a thousand pieces for...

Thanks for the update. Good luck!

I got the truck running in April. I have put about 1,000 miles on it with no issues.

Nothing 2WD is going to prevent getting stuck. A manual locker is really no better or different than an automatic type, and often not as good. Both...
