Checked the speed control switch in the dash-ok
checked the blower relay on the meter and switched it with the ASD for a sec-it's good.
Fuse for blower-good
i guess I'm pulling this motor out on a 98 degree day. Sweet.

Update on the blower crap.
After checking the relay, fuse, switch and resistor pack, I pulled all the Evap crap out of the way, twisted the accumulator and pulled the plug out for the motor. I blasted it with contact cleaner and low and behold.... it works again.
Ive got no big trips coming up so I'll save the $100 on the blower and see how it does around town for a while. Thanks for the help.

No, I don't lick fish.
Would anyone mind taking a look at this video? My rear wheels have some play in them when I pull on them, there's a small thud noise each time and it happens on both wheels when they're jacked up independently.

Are these bad bearings? Something wrong with the differential?

Your center pin in the carrier should not allow that to happen. It locks the axles outward to keep your C-clip from falling out. When the pin is removed the C-clips can come out allowing you to remove an axle shaft. I surprised that you aren't complaining of loud noises coming from the diff. Open the cover and investigate.

Swapping a new Grant steering wheel in my 91. Got the original wheel off and have the 3196 swap kit. Our horn mechanism is different though from the other GM columns I have seen. We don't have the horn plate with connecting wire and the clip that sits on the spring. Just the spring and a plunger. How does this work? I'm assuming whatever sits down in the hole with the spring is a hot lead, and just needs a connection to ground via the horn button to complete the circuit. Sound right?

Next on my list is to install my new Bilsteins. I have upper shock mount bar pin eliminators in the rear, should i cut these bar pins out? They are rectangular and I cant just press them out
Also, one of the rear shocks came with two metal sleeves. I assume these are for the bushings that attach to the rear axle?
thanks guys!

Personally, my top recommendation is Metalcloak because of their bushings (and because I'm in love with that company), and IronMan4x4 is my second choice. I've also had good experiences with Iron Rock Offroad.
As always, I will specifically speak out against Rough Country because **** them.
But control arms are pretty basic, and most of the performance difference will be from the bushings
That's entirely debatable.

headlights burned out. Relays were suspected, found one that looked burned out. Replaced it, no dice. High beams went out. Replaced the other relay. Still nothing. Just replaced the fuses, and bulbs. Still nothing.
Must be that damn switch right? The thing I wanted to avoid fixing by upgrading my harness, ha ha.
