Replying to: scottyj686 (Jan 04, 2008 10:21 am) I had it at the shop as both motor mounts broke. I was all set to do the repair myself when I realized that I didn't have the tools to get into the very tight quarters. Glad I sent it over to them. Cost me $200, but it took them over four hours to get them swapped out. The tech said what I already knew. If only one is broken, you can lift the engine from underneath and it will pivot on the good mount and give you working room. If both are broken, the whole shooting match has to go straight up a couple of inches to get clearance. Took me about 20 minutes to figure out I didn't want to spend a day on my back fighting with that sucker. In case you hadn't noticed, that is one big honkin V6 to fit into such a small engine compartment! |

Replying to: scout123 (May 28, 2004 3:41 am) My 2003 Jimmy sls 4.3 liter engine has an almost constantly pinging sound (similar to a dieseling sound) when cruising. It goes away when I accelerate. I also have a 2001 slx which is starting to do exactly the same thing but not as bad. Both start well, run well (other than the sound) and have lots of power. The 2003 has 45,000 miles on it and the 2001 has about 80,000 miles. Both have the original plugs, etc. I usually run regular gas (with 10% ethanol) but I have recently run several tanks of the highest test gas I can find with no noticeable difference. I'm concerned this will escalate into a bigger problem, head, valves, etc., if not resolved. Ben

| After replacing several fuel pumps in less than a year, we looked at other problems which could cause the pump to stop working. It turned out in our case that one of the connections on the plug was corroded. It seems the bad connection to ground was our problem. Just cleaned it up and added a bit of dielectric grease. Hopefully it will run for a while now... | |
I have a 98 Jiimy 4.3. About a month ago it started having problems starting. No engine comes on. Had the ignition module, the regulator, coil, distributor cap switched. The battery, alternator, starter, and the fuses are all good. There is a alarm attached can this hae anything to do with it.

| I have a 2000 Blazer and for the pastweek I've gone thru 5 10 amp fuses for the courtesy lights. I've read some posts about this but still unsure where to start. I've read a few posts that suggest checking grounds for the connected components (lamps) but, where are they? Are they near the bulb fixtures themselves? Thanks | |

Replying to: clancy1 (Feb 04, 2006 4:04 pm) Only 3 bolts on side of frame to unbolt the gearbox. These things are the biggest piece of crap ever built.Designed to fail.No wonder GM is in trouble. Between the multitudes of problems with these blazers,they can't make a decent tranny and use the crappy orange dexcool antifreeze which destroys the whole cooling system and eventually the engine.

I was hoping someone could help me by letting me know where the t-stat is in my 2002 chevy blazer. I have been all through the engine and the manual and can't find squat. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks...
