Since replacing the fuel pump, the Blazer has been driving great! Well, it drives okay. The gear shifts are far from smooth and there are all manner of strange noises and rattling. The engine is shot and the brakes are soft. We’re just hoping to limp it around for the summer.
A couple of our kids came out with us to Cruise Enumclaw, so we were able to take 3 cars this month!
The weather was perfect. It’s a lot of fun to drive down Cole St with the crowd that comes out.
On the way home, the rattling became a pretty serious vibration before the driveline u-joints completely failed. Luckily our son was following and we were able to quickly get a ride home to grab the trailer.
With new u-joints, the rattling noises are all gone and the shifts from park into drive are far less violent. Maybe we’ll make it to fall before we need to tear it down!
