K5 Blazer pulling broken school bus
Переглядів 2,5 тис.12 років тому
A bus got stuck in my court, apparently reverse went out. I hooked up my 20 year old K5 Blazer and pulled it around. I had to do it in 4WD low, as 4WD high simply couldn't do it. Buses are heavy!

My Great Dane normally never barks at anything or anyone. That clearly is not the case with the service repair truck that was parked next door...

It's nice to not have to dig out the entire driveway ... and court like my neighbors had to do. 1990 Blazer K5 just blows right through the white stuff.
digging out (time lapse)

Digging out from the MAIC snow storm that dropped 22" to 32" of snow in my front yard. It's hard to drive when you can't even find your cars. The dogs were having fun...
Dumb virginia snow plow drivers
Переглядів 24 тис.14 років тому
A short clip of the snowplow drivers in Loudoun Virginia ... who apparently don't know how to use the plow to move snow, so they keep getting stuck. Notice the truck in the background that is already stuck. They leave and come back and got stuck two more times the same evening, rather than simply push the snow out of their way! The third truck finally pulled them both out.
Haha never ever works with that fuck hammer thats vid is fake
Awesome!
Facts I just did this yesterday but it took me 5 minutes total for both sides. Getting my new inner and outer ball joints in with my poly bushings was another story. But it’s done. Thank you
FLAT RATE AF⚡🤣
Great job!
Yeah those jacks look sketchy !
Me salvastes.... God bless you my friend.
2 minutes after the removal off all the brake setup. Lol
My as, i done these many times ea has their own pain to come out. Only the part he pops arm out of the bushing is easy, to get there.....
I did this and it works. However, how the hell do you refit the wishbone into an OEM bush!!!???
Nik Blower a bushing press?
Best to buy performance bushing it takes a "special" tool to push in but then 1/2 of the bushing slides pretty easy. Search saw removal of remaining bushing it works best with new blade
I slow mowed the vid @ 42 seconds you smash the threads dead on...lol should have left the nut on loose....lol
I thought i saw that too in real time!
Does the rear part of the bush just pull out of the rubber...Mine has a nut/Allen key on the end..Does that not need to be undone
It has been a few years since I did this job, and I don't remember. Sorry.
Cool I'll try the crow bar trick
Wow! That's very neat looking. Reminds me of growing up in the 70's when everyone used those big bulbs. To finish it off, I would put a single candle light in the windows so you don't have that "black hole" look at each window.
If in doubt....grind it out!
James are you in the US mate? Over in the UK we salt the roads so this stuff corrodes like nothing else, i've just spent over an hour hitting the bottom wishbone with a lump hammer and it still didn't come free. Ended up cutting the wishbone in half with a grinder and replacing the entire hub/upright/wishbone because of this lol
mate i have just had the same problem with an 52 reg mini from the uk. i am lucky that i work within a machine shop as i couldn't get the inner ball joint free. i was lucky that the outer balljoint came free as the bolts to the hub were so corroded that they were round and even with a nut extractor they wouldn't come free.
Mine wont budge, an tips welcome !!
easy peesy thanks
Great job!... but now how to remove the bushing, which is probably the reason to remove the wishbone? I've heard the upside-down bolts make it a pain.
I used a Sawzall to cut the bushing out of the housing, leaving the housing installed on the car. I then used a bushing removal tool to slide it out. Then I used the tool the slide the new one in.
James F Can't the tool be used to remove the bush alone? Does it actually require cutting or was that just to speed things up? can the inner ball joint be swapped out once the wishbone is removed or does it require the frame dropping? thanks
I also want to know is it possible to remove the bush and carrier without lowering the subframe to replace the whole bush with a new oem part
nice, I thought it was going to fall by the looks of that Jack stand
you must have destroyed the inner ball joint rubber boot with that fork
Used pickle fork, lifted seal up and still shredded my ball joint. Still stuck on. Torch time. :(
+Mark Berry You should video it to help others in the same situation. :)
Got a '94 full size blazer, I never have got stuck in it, it just blows through snow like nothing lol.
***** I bet she didn't try to restart it. I guess all drivers don't know about doing that.
im in maine and plowed for 30 yrs , that sum jackass in that truck that dont drop the plow...
Hahaha!
I bought the strings of lights at Home Depot, but I ordered the bulbs online. I added the URL to the video.
were do u get those lights
aww how cute!
@GmcDiesel420 No, it's the 5.7 gas, with 225k miles on it...
Is this a 6.2?

@85simplexity actually Its been recorded that some parts of lake erie, new your and michigan have all gotten at one time or another upto 24" in an hour period and even some skii resorts/mountians its not a constant thing, and it is a rarity, but it has and will again happen!
@jkautosource I think you misunderstand what is going on here. They came all the way down the street with their plows down (as they do every year) and then when they got to the end the stopped plowing and tried to turn around. All three of these guys did it. Finally a few hours later another guy came through, kept his plow down, and gracefully got to the end of the court and simply went around in a big circle with his plow down. They absolutely plow these roads, these guys were just dumb
he definitely whacked that suv with his plow!
Private snow plows cant put their blades down on public roads
@HateRDDsBusted We dont have that problem in Maine.......We're used to it.
getting stuck sucks, but over reacting and not thinking it threw wont help. When first stuck, sure the reverse can most times get you out. but always carry a shovel so you can dig your way out, and clear a small path to get you on the right track. remember that. it can always be good to carry that shovel.
bla bla bla... If more people did anything there'd be less bitching...... bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
when the snow is that deep and you have such a light truck you must have momentum to start plowing or you sit and spin- if he had a v plow he might be able to start plowing at the low speed he was going and it pushes down on the front and adds weight to the front wheels.
so he got stuck and he's automaticaly condemend as "dumb" ok i can assure more than 3/4 of the snow plow drivers out there have gotten "stuck."
time for the shovel
once you get behind the wheel with a blade and salter it isnt easy trust me
It's so funny how everyone is the best driver sitting in front of a computer. Yeah, he should have put the plow down. The person talking about driving 70 mph on snow or ice is not very smart. Not saying it can,t be done, just that it is NOT safe. I grew up in VA 40 years worth. Anyone that knows what a Nor'easter is knows that 6'' per hour, in a strong one is likely. The northern tier of states get snow all the time. 6''-8'' here and there. When it snows here, we may get 1-2 feet +.
Everyone should just shut the fuck up .. GET OVER IT IT'S A Video ....
As a plow driver from Chicago all i can say ... ummm dude your doing it wrong.
@85simplexity - Obviously you have never been in the Rockies then...
Billy Mays here with another VANtastic product!
the pros (unless they drive it them selves) during an unexpected blizzard , will employ people that in the majority are youngsters out of work or going to school during day time.The employer has no choice because he signed contracts and he cannot get enough experienced people,let alone afford to pay their higher wages.North american areas with regular snow fall have more experienced people (from the age of 16 to the 60 tees).Virginia is like the Northwest...one never knows when it'll snow.
