  • Fixing the other half of everything - • All the Maintenance - ...
    This is a friend's all original '85 S10 Blazer. I was tasked to make sure it wouldn't be needing any repairs for a while. I did a part 1 on the truck and then took it back to fix another host of problems in this video. Covering all wheel bearings, engine maintenance, troubleshooting various problems, and more.
    Chapters:
    00:00 - Intro
    00:22 - Front Wheel bearings, brake pads
    07:16 - Rear Wheel Bearings
    17:41 - Valve Cover Gaskets
    22:28 - Vacuum Lines
    27:35 - Thermostat, troubleshooting cooling issues (I thought)
    32:33 - troubleshooting 4x4
    36:03 - Blinker wiring
    37:31 - Final drive (This was gonna be longer but I lost my footage. Whoopsies)

      Jack up the wheels a little bit off the ground. Heck they don’t even have to be off the ground. Just jack up the car just right before the wheels come off the ground, and then those bolts will come off way easier.

    My first car was an 85 s10 blazer with the 2.8. Got it for 2500 bucks. All I ever fixed was the vacuum lines and one of the windows fell out of the track and eventually shattered. If I tried to find one in half the same shape it probably be 15-20k now. 15 years ago some drunk ran me off the road, she jumped a ditch and slammed into a tree 65mph. Took it like a champ for her final ride😢. Glad to see someone showing some love to one😊

    Great editing and awesome channel, but dude, please wear eye protection. Especially 1:20 that made me cringe. I know it's inconvenient, they fog up and get in the way but it's not worth losing your vision at your age. I had a close call doing something similar myself, shrapnel would've been 1 inch closer I'd be out an eye. Wear it before you realize you needed it!
