    Remanufactured Jasper NP241 or let local shop rebuild?

    1994 K1500 Blazer, 250K miles, led a very gentle life. No towing, no offroading, stock suspension. Last night, truck started making horrible, "grinding gear" noises when I slowly accelerate from a stop. A local mechanic has traced problem to the NP241 transfer case. No external cracks or...

    GMT400 vs newer MY2014 & Up

    perhaps off-topic, this seemed to be the least-inappropriate subforum to post in, for now ... My 1994 K1500 Blazer w/ 250K miles is becoming harder to keep in good running order ... lots of smaller & medium issues need more attention, than I have time to deal with. Very disappointed w/ newer...

    '94 TBI 350 Timing Chain

    Engine (RPO L05) has 250K miles and it's had a gentle life, no towing, runs well & reasonably quiet. Is there any reason to be worried about timing chain & gears? I'm not eager to do it, but is there any value in pre-emptively replacing the parts? I'd hate to have the engine...

    Rebuild rear axle Vs buy remanufactured complete axle

    I have 94 K1500 Blazer, 250K miles, with 8.5", 10-bolt, 6-lug rear end. At 220K miles & 3 yrs ago, the rear gov-lok differential grenaded, twisted an axle shaft, etc. I had a local repair shop install a used, complete rear end that supposedly had only 80K miles. When the shop told me they...

    clearance for removing front sway bar?

    Vehicle: 1994 K1500 Blazer & stock suspension. Are there any known problems in sliding out the front sway bar, while truck is on the ground? (end links have already been removed) I have jackstands (if required) and of course can remove wheels, but seems there's some risk of interferences...
