    Zero Rate for 1" added in rear?

    OK, thanks guys. I checked the Tuff Country website and don't see that they offer any (maybe they do and I just haven't found it). I thought surely they would have a set. Is it common with lift springs that the rear would sit lower? I realize the fenderwells aren't equal and can cause the...

    Zero Rate for 1" added in rear?

    I just put 3" EZ ride lift springs front and rear on my '87 k5, and I feel the rear is sitting a little bit lower than the front. I've heard I could add a zero rate to the rear to pick it up an inch, but I don't exactly understand how that works. Is it basically just a small block that mounts...

    Replacement Jeep Steering / Intermediate Shaft

    I have a 1987 K5 4x4 (3" lift if it matters) I have read that the Jeep Cherokee intermediate shaft from 1988-96 is a direct bolt on replacement for the Blazer steering shaft. Is there any particular year in that range that is best? I'm going to purchase a new shaft as I need my truck on the...

    Do You recognize this receiver hitch brand?

    This is for sale locally. It's for a K5 blazer, but seller is unsure what brand it is. Does anyone recognize it? It's from the 70's or 80's. Thanks,

    EZ Ride springs: Regular or HD

    I have an '87 K5. I have decided to go with the Tuff County EZ ride 3" lift springs. I have a winch and a winch bumper. I mostly do on-road driving, so ride quality is more important than off-road performance. I'm curious of your experience: Will the weight of the winch and winch bumper...

    4" to 3" Lift Springs

    I have an '87 K5. Years ago I bought a 4" lift (front springs, rear blocks) from a friend selling it. My truck has 33" tires. It actually taller than I wanted and now I've got my truck running again. I'd like to go to a 3" lift. The original kit came with an extended steering knuckle...

    What reman heads to use?

    I purchased reman heads. My heads were mismatched. One side had the 14102193, 64cc swirl-port head and the other had the 14102191, 76cc, non-swirl-port design. They had not been machined to have the same compression either. When the heads came in, one of them was boxed wrong, so I'm...

    What reman heads to use?

    I need to get a set of reman heads for an '87 K5 Blazer. It has a 350 in it that is not original to the truck. There seems to be an almost infinite number of choices. What is a good, reliable brand to go with? Not looking for a hot rod, nothing fancy... just a stock setup to get my truck...

    HVAC vacuum line diagnosis

    I also meant to add that I had to cut the engine off, then run around to the engine bay, because the sound of the leak was so quiet.

    HVAC vacuum line diagnosis

    To follow up, there was a very small crack on the vacuum line about 1 inch after it came out of the firewall. The only way I could tell is if I started the vehicle, let vacuum build up, and then ran around to listen to the hose while I moved it in that spot with my fingers. A small hissing...

    HVAC vacuum line diagnosis

    Thanks for the replies. As I stated above, all the lines and connections under the hood are OK. I have an '87 so the computer is mounted behind the glovebox and on top of the HVAC box. I haven't been able to reach around it to trace the wires. If I remove the computer would I be able to...

    HVAC vacuum line diagnosis

    Hello, 1987 K5 Blazer. After sitting for 7 years, the air mostly only blows out of the floor. I have checked the vacuum line under the hood and everything is good. I have applied vacuum to the defroster vent and it does operate when I apply separate vacuum. I unbolted the dash selector and...
