Uh Oh! Did someone just burn out their first relay or fuse?

But what you want to do is get out a multimeter and diagnose what got fried. Then before you replace it, figure out why.

I forgot the fuse that was suppose to go into the fuse tap.

I just plugged mine into the original Fog Lamp lines.

[Cable810]

I was going to do that but I'm going to be getting Rugged Ridges Fog lights later on and tap those into the factory fog lamp lines.

I'll probably have to rewire mine after I get my bumper off Mike, but till then it was easier. Looks good.

[RyansTBLS]

Looks great!

Forgot to add what I did on my week off a couple weeks ago.

Changed plugs

Cut off stupid looking low hanging no good for anything resonator

Replaced fuel pump

Rotated tires and cleaned up the wheels while they were completely off

Sound deadened front doors for speakers to sound better and not have to work so hard at drowning out tire drone.

Cleaned throttle body and replaced MAP sensor (clearing all CEL codes)

Drive happily around getting 15mpg on $5ga non ethanol premium gas.

[mtousignaut]

Got my 3" suspension lift today in the mail!!

[_HeadOfTheBeast_]

I filled up my gas tank, but that's about it.

New tires for me today. Cooper Discoverer AT3's. In fact I am in the waiting room now just sitting here till they are done.

My passenger side lower ball joint was shot, so I had to replace it. I found it easier to remove the lower control arm for pressing the lower ball joint out and back in. I removed the lower ball joint with a 30 mm ratchet nut on top of the lower ball joint and hit it with 3 hits on top of the nut. It came easy out. The nut fits perfectly on top of the lower ball joint. For pressing the new one back in I used some of these bushings from this set:



I didn´t used the c-clamp for removing and for pressing the ball joint back in I used a parallel vise. That way it was easy done.

Before picture:


Lower control arm out:




All together back in:



Problem now my steering wheel isn´t centered when driving straight forward. Before removing the lower control arm I had to give it a few whacks with the hammer on the outside where the lower ball joint mounts on the axle hub assembly. Any ideas? I know I can get an alignment but are there other ideas?

I spent the afternoon giving the Trailblazer a much needed bath and detailing. Conditioned the leather seats too.

[bgwolfpack]

Karsten,

Alignment, yes.

[Karo]

Karsten,

Alignment, yes.

Ouch.

Finally installed my brake upgrade, rotated my tires. Tomorrow will probably wash and clean some garbage out of the inside....
