Blazer Reassembly List

5/3/2020:

Got the transfer case and transmission crossmember bolted back in today. Pretty sure I don’t want to do that again anytime soon. Also reinstalled the transmission dipstick tube, which is held in place with a bellhousing bolt. Not sure what I think about GM engineers and their love of bellhousing bolts to hold wiring looms and other junk in place.

Things I’ve Forgotten or Need to be Addressed

  • Top off front diff
  • Torque front hubs (174 ft lbs)
  • Adjust camber via upper control arms
  • Check front brake caliper bolts
  • Coil wiring
  • Body mount washers
  • Engine oil filter
  • Rear brakes
  • Bleed brake
  • Auto shift linkage
  • Transfer case shifter bracket
  • Figure out accelerator return spring

Reassembly ToDo

  • Trans cooler lines
  • Auto shift linkage
  • Transfer case shifter bracket
  • Fill transfer case (Check fluid, should be Dexron)
  • Transfer case shift linkage and shifter pivot bolt
  • Speedometer cable
  • Reinstall Driveshafts
  • Exhaust pipe
  • Replace body mounts (need to order more)
  • Reinstall front bumper
  • Fill Transmission
