What did you do to your truck today?

[drperry]

Priced out shocks... $385.20 for Monroe Sensa-traks...

No local KYB sellers...

Summit Racing has 4 KYB Gas-a-just shocks AND a flaming river u-joint (to get rid of the rag joint) for $235 US before shipping

That's $250 Canadian... Shipping is another $50 - 60... So it's STILL cheaper than 4 shocks here...

And those weren't even top of the line Monroe shocks

You might want to consider Bilsteins.

Which are generally more expensive than either one
My dads old Suburban was nice with the Bilsteins... But I have to watch my budget... And try something new

Anything is an upgrade over the basic AC Delco brand shocks

Have you checked prices on the Bilsteins? You might be surprised. I installed a full set on my GMC a few months ago for a lot less than I expected. About $70 per shock, with free shipping.

$43 each for the front shocks and $40 each for the rears with the KYB's...

And there will never be free shipping to Canada

Neither Summit Racing or Jegs carry Bilsteins

Ah well... I just looked 'em up and it seems Bilstein doesn't make any for an '05 Blazer.

Look for an '03

Look for an '03

Your garage says '05..?

 

[drperry]

Yeah, but the truck hasn't changed since then... And most parts searching things stopped at '03 or '04... The '05 is like the bastard child nobody wants their wife to know about...

I haven't kept up with the Blazers very well. Was '05 a bodystyle change or..?

It was the last year of production for them.

The S10 stopped in '04.

Yeah, last year for most of the S10 trucks was really 03. In 04, they still made s10's but only in a crew cab 4x4. The colorado took its place starting in 04. The S10 blazer continued till 2005, but was only sold as a 2door to the public. Some 4doors were sold as fleet vehicles in 2005.

Though a crew cab S10 is still an S10
