    Not sure I can help, but those wheels would look awesome on my Blazer! Great looking Tahoe BTW.

    Bigger engine for towing

    Not trying to deter you, but you can't raise the legal towing limit by throwing a bigger motor in. You'll be able to tow the max load easier, though :)

    Ball joints.

    The warranty is less on these. I think I'm going this route on my Blazer as well. Warranty or not, having a shop do this is too much money. Enough that the whole thing can be swapped out several times for less money.

    If I had a little extra cash....

    I had an '79 Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon with the 4.3L V8 in it. Not a bad little motor. The car was only slightly better looking than an Aztek.

    I want to build a carputer using a raspberry pi and a touch screen

    Oh, sorry. The mount is specific to GMT400's; you have to remove the lower bezel and it attaches to some existing bolts. I'm using it for a generic purpose.

    I want to build a carputer using a raspberry pi and a touch screen

    Yeah, I like to be able to turn mine on while going down the road to keep an eye on what's happening back there. Some cars like to get so close that I can't see them.

    I want to build a carputer using a raspberry pi and a touch screen

    I bought a mount from Amazon for my backup camera monitor. It is custom-fit and sits just below the CD pocket. I can post a pic if you want later today. It has worked very well. I use it for hitching up my travel trailer, and I also have a camera mounted on the back of the trailer for...

    Hope all walked away! I dig those wheels and tires but can't imagine paying the shipping. Good luck with the sales.

    Front axle seals failed after 11k miles.

    The shop called and they couldn't determine what the cause was. They are chalking it up to poor seals from the factory. Yay, I guess. I hope it doesn't happen again in another 11k miles.

    Front axle seals failed after 11k miles.

    Thanks. Does the vent cause too much pressure or something? Any other symptoms?

    Front axle seals failed after 11k miles.

    I took the Yukon in to have both front axle seals changed again, after 11k miles. The shop said it is extremely rare for OEM seals to fail that quick. They suspect something else is happening, maybe a vibration in the front end or something similar. They did say my rotors are out-of-spec...

    4.3 liter heavy duty version

    I found this while reading about the 4.3 in the Blazer I'm buying: http://www.enginebuildermag.com/2000/04/rebuilding-the-new-chevy-262/ It talks about different Pistons and compression in per-95 trucks over a certain GVWR.

    FWIW, RockAuto lists the 4.3 under the 1994 GMC K2500.
