I hear ya about all this snow. I live in northwest indiana and we have been getting dumped on. How did your blazer come with goodyears? My moms came with crappy uniroyal. Hers is a 2000 LT with the premium ride? (best) suspension. Autotrac and 4 wheel high works great on her blazer and on my silverado.   Ryan
#22 of 3449 Oil cooler lines by boat10 Dec 19, 2000 (2:17 pm)
Anyone out there had problems with the oil cooler lines going to the radiator???? I had one to burst........WHAT A MESS!!!!!....... The general has ordered new parts. Mine is a 2000 4x4 LT and has 13000 miles on it. I live in Tennessee and would not be without my BLAZER.. This is my 6th one..started buying in 1983 when they came out, renew every three years.absolutly love them, there are times the wife takes it away from me so she can do her hauling. Has anyone seen any specs on the new 2002.. many changes it looks like, new motor, new body style..

Ryan, There is a small handful of Blazers that come standard with Goodyears. I bought mine from dealer stock in Frankfort IL. I choose my Blazer from several of the same equipped Blazers because of the Goodyears. Not only are they good in snow but they are decent in some light off road use and very good in the rain.

#25 of 3449 New to 4 wheel drive by ltnthacker Dec 24, 2000 (1:39 am)
Just got a 1999 Chewy Blazer AS 4D 4WD and I am trying to get used to it. First in 2WD I notice that it rolls back slightly when I'm on a hill and I take my foot off the breaks to give it gas. Is this slippage in the trans? Also, In 4WD I feel alot of resistance in my turns like when I'm pulling into my driveway. Is this normal?
#26 of 3449 IT by ryanbab Dec 24, 2000 (7:49 am)
WHen your on a hill in 2wd and it rolls back a little it has nothing to do with trans slippage.   WHen in 4wd turning into your driveway:   Anytime your in 4wd and turn there is a little resistance especially if the pavement is dry. Its not good to have 4wd on when the pavement is dry especially when turning. Dry pavement and turning is the worst thing for 4wd   Ryan
#27 of 3449 Oil Cooler Lines by bbieraugel Dec 24, 2000 (11:40 am)
I recently had oil cooler lines replaced on a 1999 Blazer LT due to minor oil leakage. The service tech informed that this is not too uncommon and he has seen this numerous times.   I have found that the Auto Trac system is wonderful in the Minneapolis snow and slush. My only complaint regarding my Blazer is that as the cold temperatures descended on Minnesota; my gas mileage seemed to fall off from 17.5 highway to around 15 mpg.   I am very pleased so far.
#28 of 3449 Wondering a few things by fine_zero Dec 25, 2000 (11:04 pm)
Hi, Well I dont have a blazer yet.. but January the 1st or so My Granfather is supose to take me to go get one.I already talked to the guy and its a 1996 2dr white abs 4.3 vortec. Wondering a few things How much Gas mileage will I be looking at and where can I find really neat accessories like extra things such as inside lights and stuff to really make it neat and different but not have to spend a fortune. Thanks for your time. Lonnie%0
#29 of 3449 Sorry but its true by ngliebe Dec 26, 2000 (11:43 am)
Blazer is synonymous with trouble. My family has had two over the last five years. The worst vehicles we've ever owned. Like it or not, our new Four-Runner is hands down a better vehicle. About fifty times better. Unless you enjoy replacing two year old transmissions and having constant fluid leaks.
#30 of 3449 Problem with 4wd engaging by johng1219 Dec 26, 2000 (7:37 pm)
I have a 2000 Blazer and the 4wd electronic engagement is out for the second time in 4 months. It will go into 4low but not 4hi. First time, the dealer said it was the electronic module. This time they say it is an electronic motor control AND the module. BUT, there are no spare parts anywhere in the U.S. and they have no idea when parts will be available. They told me this is a common problem this time of year but normally affects '95 and '96 models and not as many newer ones. So, this means this has been going on for five years and GM has not done anything about it. And, it is apparently very common as the parts supply is already exhausted. Anyone else had this problem? Statistics say you are out there somewhere!   The other problem I had was the back glass would not lock. It would latch but not lock. It took three trips to the dealer before they determined it was another electronic module in the driver's door that was bad. Then there was the fix for the 4wd last Aug. Now, it has been in once to find out there are no parts and will go again to finally (hopefully) get it fixed again. So, once I go one more time to get the 4wd fixed, it will make a total of six trips to the dealer for warranty service in one year.   John near Indianapolis Replies to this message: chapara (Dec 01, 2005 8:02 pm) boba246 (Feb 27, 2006 6:12 am) repairdog (Mar 02, 2006 8:22 am)
