Offroad Trailblazers and Envoys

What did you do to your GMT today?

Trailblazer and Envoy related, but not off-road related...

Connected the red wire before towing a trailer so I can charge the battery.

LOL, I actually pulled it and got the replacement part Thursday night.
I wrapped it up on Friday during my lunch break. I took a few pics, I might try to write it up if I have enough decent pics.

If my blower speed control went out in your cold temps, I'd be jumping 12V to it with bypass wires in about 3 minutes. I'm a wuss about cold.

You guys are acting like it gets cold in NC. Quick google, its been in the 30s-40s and even 50s in NC. Its been steadily in the teens here for weeks. I barely use the heat much. What leaks through when you're driving is enough most of the time. If it were in the 40's I'd roll the windows down. LOL


Which is why it probably took Chris a while to fix, and why he wasn't in a hurry to get it back together. Its not cold to begin with.

I turn on the furnace if the house droops to 66 in the morning. At 45 outside, I wish I had a remote start. :facepalm:

I don't drive the TB too much. I did my taxes Friday night and realized I only drove the TB about 7k miles last year and about 2k of those miles was work related to our central office.

And yet your a moderator, even though no one has ever seen your trailblazer and you've only recently lifted it... odd... :poke: :finger: maybe you'll come out to TECORE this year.
Once lifted 03 Trailblazer on 35's, gave it up to travel the USA with my family.

Took it ice wheeling with a bunch of JKs. It definitely made me proud with its performance. Topped some climbs that Rubi's had to bypass.
I hate to advocate weird chemicals, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone...but
they've always worked for me.
