i dont have much time right now in my life with everything else going on so i am selling the blazer to a guy at work, told him i was going to pull the cowl hood off and the lund visor. so tonight i pulled both hoods and swapped them, also pulled the visor off. while i was doing this i noticed the suburban was leaking antifreeze, crawled under it and it is leaking from my new (cheap quality hose, since they didnt have a good one when i needed it), so the tear down began a few days early.
tonight i got the fan shroud out, hoses, radiator, belt, fan/clutch, and decided since i was this far down i might as well change out the water pump. good thing too because there was play in the shaft. now theres a ton of room in the engine bay lol.
