1998 Blazer Solid Axle Dana 44 on 2040-cars
Whitehouse, Ohio, United States
Here is a 1998 Chevy Blazer that has had a Solid axle swap. The original axles were removed and rebuilt Dana 44s installed. The rear axle is from a Isuzu Rodeo. It has a posi unit with 4.10 gears and disk brakes. The front axle is from a Jeep Wagoneer, no posi, 4.10 gears, stainless Mile Marker hubs and disk brakes. This truck stops great! The body is in good condition. There is some rust starting on the rockers and some small dings here and there. The BFGoodrich tires are new ($1000 worth).Rims are 15x10 solid aluminum, they look bad but clean up really well. Cowl induction hood from Goodmark Inc. Custom one off wheel flares and stainless nerf bars.
The bad. Water pump went out late last summer as did the transfer case motor. The front spring have started to sag and the tires are getting a bit close to the fenders now. AC looses charge every winter. Once charged it will last all summer. The oil lines drip a bit. Every blazer out there has or needs these replaced, just a bad design. I was going to install the oil filter on the engine but that never happened. I think that's it. All of these could be fixed in a weekend. I have too many projects and not enough time. Wife says it has to go. The swap was done in 2007 and was driven every day until last summer. I towed a 20' boat 200 miles every other weekend in the summers and a 18' car trailer. It always did a great job. This is sold as is, NO WARRANTY, FIXER UPPER. This truck is 16 years old, with normal were and tear. I make no suspension warranty. That is for you to inspect. Unless you plan on fixing the water pump on the road you will need a flat bed truck to pick this up. Please ask questions. |

Chevy Volt 'acceptable,' Nissan Leaf 'poor' in new IIHS safety tests
Thu, Jul 31 2014Ford C-Max Hybrid also scored "acceptable" rating. With US Nissan Leaf sales up almost 30 percent during the first half of the year, the only thing that might be able to stop the battery-electric vehicle is a good, stiff barrier. Unfortunately, thing's aren't always pretty when that happens in the real world, according to new tests from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Things with the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in are a little bit rosier, though. The two plug-in vehicles were part of a batch of a dozen vehicles that just went through the IIHS's "small overlap" test, in which the driver's side front corner of the vehicle is crashed into a rigid barrier at 40 miles per hour. Out of the dozen, only the Mini Cooper Countryman was given a "good" rating. Five vehicles, including the Volt and the Ford C-Max Hybrid, were rated "acceptable," two were "marginal" and two, including the Leaf, were "poor." Plug-in vehicles are unique in the crash-test context because of their relatively large battery sizes. In the Volt's case, the driver had a "low risk" of injury, said the IIHS. But the Leaf's crash substantially pushed back the instrument panel and steering column, creating a scenario where the driver was "likely" to sustain leg injuries. The batteries in both the Leaf and the Volt passed safety tests specifically targeted at things like thermo and electrical properties and overall integrity. "Nissan is proud of the Leaf's 'Good' rating in all other IIHS tests, a 4-star NCAP rating from NHTSA and its IIHS Top Safety Pick rating in all previous years since the car's release," the company said in an e-mail sent to AutoblogGreen. "As for the performance of the 2014 Leaf in the 'small overlap frontal test,' Nissan will continue to review these and other results from the IIHS 'small overlap frontal test' as we seek opportunities for improvement." Check out the IIHS's press release and small car crash-test video footage below. Range of ratings: Small car ratings run the gamut in challenging small overlap front test The Mini Cooper Countryman is the only small car to earn a good rating among the latest group of 12 cars subjected to the Institute's small overlap front crash test. Two electric models and a hybrid also are in the mix, with varied results. The electric-powered Chevrolet Volt (with a gasoline engine "range extender") earns an acceptable rating, while its battery-electric rival, the Nissan Leaf, earns a poor rating.
Read This: Auto Extremist advocates for Corvette as brand with multiple models [w/poll]
Fri, 25 Jan 2013The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette really grinds Peter De Lorenzo's gears. Or, more accurately, the self-anointed Auto Extremist has an issue with what he sees as mismanagement of the legendary sports car by General Motors executives. In a new editorial on his website, De Lorenzo argues it's time to split Corvette off from Chevrolet to create an all-new brand, complete with a model range with at least three new takes on the sports car. Capable of fully leveraging the successes of the Corvette Racing program and brandishing the full might of GM's technical prowess, the Corvette brand would theoretically give Porsche something to sweat over.
Sure, that sounds like a party, but given GM's troubled track record when it comes to launching (let alone managing) brands, we say that's slippery slope that could just as easily end with the whole Corvette franchise in the scrap bin. Either way, the notion is certainly an interesting one. Head over to Auto Extremist to take in the full editorial, and then let us know what you think in Comments. Should GM split off its most storied nameplate?
