Blazer Revival 2005!

I took the transfer case and adapter off tonight. The 208 has those gay torque rods that mount up to one of the bell hosing bolts. When the adapter broke it pulled the head off that bell housing bolt.

Now the question is should I over come laziness and pull the tranny out to get the broken bolt out.

do you have to? walk a few blocks over and ask whoever is roaming the streets how they would do it.

I agree - it's the Blazer right? Why fix it correctly, just 'rig it and get it going like your insides are telling you to do:D

Take it apart more, sell some of the parts, then take it the rest of the way apart. Works for me...-pimp-

Alright, I changed the oil and made sure it still ran this afternoon.

I've got thursday night after 9, and friday afternoon/night to hopefully get it done.

We'll see what happens.

U keen do eet!!!

The windshield needs to be washed too. Maybe I should take the bread out of the back from Clayton 06. It must have some awesome preservatives in it, as I can't see mold on it through the back window. We'll have to see what it looks like under closer inspection.

pics!

leave it on your mailbox, I bet the 'neighbors' down the way will take it.

What, give away perfectly good stale bread?!?! You must be ****ing crazy!

I bet a dollar to a donut it is way past stale. ;)

It's very apparent how much the t-case hangs down with the new crossmember. I actually scraped mud with it when I was in that pit. I wonder if it would fit between the frame rails if I clocked it. I'm not sure if the the front shaft could handle the angle though.

Edit: Disregard, that would be way too much trouble. If chevy would have made the bolt circle equally spaced it would be easy.

You have the later model round face adapter right? If such is the case, drill and re-tap the face of the case. I have the same version and from what I've found, thats the only way to do it. I've seen a few people cut, rotate and re-weld the adapter but that seems kinda janky. Great lakes offroad used to make a clocking ring for that specific 205 but I cant seem to find it on their site. I heard alot of reports of them being warped and leaking though, but you could just knock it flat with a mill easy enough.

I would think that with the skillz and equipment access that you have, you would be starting a side business selling clocking adapters on the university/company dime. :)

I'll have to look at the face again, but I thought there were only certain places where it had flats. It also has to be tapped, not that it's hard to do.

Other things should include: notching the frame where a power steering hose hits and maybe try to figure out the weird power problem where half the vehicle loses power randomly.

So the crossmember is the biggest problem.

There are two mounts you can't see on the adapter in the picture. One of them is broken off and I don't think welding it back on is going to solve the problem for long.

My plan is to make two plates the bolt on the back side of the adapter where the blue scribble is. One on the top and one on the bottom. Then attach them ghetto like to some ghetto crossmember.

How is doug an asshole? We can smell our own, and doug smells more like a goofy attention-starved bastard than an asshole. He also smells of lilac and...oh god i've got a NRB.

Speaking of Doug, The onyl reason I wish he wasnt the unofficial historian/photographer is bc when he gets in front of the camera you get classics like him chuggin the mayo. Gold I tell you!
