Replying to: greazyjungle (Jun 01, 2006 1:51 pm) Is this bad?   Yes, this is bad! Smoke means either electrical overloading or mechanical malfunction and where there is smoke there is fire. Get it checked out ASAP.   tidester, host

Replying to: greazyjungle (Jun 01, 2006 1:51 pm) Is it really smoke or probably steam (old burnt maple syrup smell??). Heater core blew if that so check your coolant reservior now. If dropping and you want a quick fix cause its hot out now, go to the auto store and get a plastic inline connector I believe its 5/8 and 3/4 and all stock them them, remove the heater hoses at the firewall and bypass the core, refill the coolant, off you go.   If really smoke do not drive as tidester said until the cause is determined.

Replying to: sdc2 (Jul 14, 2000 4:18 pm) I have a 96 blazer with 207,000 miles on it. The rear end is going out on it and I'm looking for someone to help me fix it for less than $1,000. Any referals would be appreciated. Replies to this message: repairdog (Jun 17, 2006 3:03 am) alexgabor (Jun 19, 2006 1:25 pm)

Replying to: alexgabor (Jun 16, 2006 4:51 pm) Junk yard or ebay for $450 complete if yours is really trashed. Most 4wd or transmission shops do the rebuilds so ask in your area - all will quote a price after pulling the cover and inspecting for a small fee. 2wd and 4wd are different widths and also if 4wd you have to match the front diff ration and the code is on the glove box tag. If 2wd you can switch to any ratio and add posi too. Common is 3.42 in all Blazers with 3.73 the other common 4wd one used. 98up switched to rear discs also.

I have found a 14 oz can of r-12 refrigerant i've had in my cellar for a long time. I want to try and recharge the a/c on my 93 s10 blazer. Where is the low pressure valve located? thanks Bill

Replying to: repairdog (Jun 17, 2006 3:03 am) Thanks, I'll go to the tranny shops and see if I can get a better quote.
