Replying to: buzzh (Dec 01, 2008 3:02 pm) Boy, I understand the frustration. All I can say is everytime I've had those symptoms (several), it's been the timing chain/gears.   I'm working on the same idea of the engine swap for my S10 pickup, not my Blazer. should be a lot of fun.

#3318 of 3449 HELP! by cobrabas Dec 06, 2008 (6:30 pm)
I just did the lower intake on my 99 blazer. put it all back together and fired it up. I fired up and i shut it down quickly. Went an ate dinner and returned to move it onto ramps to change oil before i test drove it and no it wont start. It cranks and sputters but wont kick on. Plugs are wet, i dropped the dristributer right back into place and my marks matched. dont know what to do or where to start.

Replying to: jpmccr (Dec 06, 2008 10:16 am) Last starting issue was also due to a really bad, messed distributor cap and rotor. Replaced and she runs fine.
#3320 of 3449 My 2000 will never be the same by auto9999 Dec 17, 2008 (4:21 pm)
Hi all,   I just wanted to share my recent experience. My 18-year old son crashed my 2000 Blazer. I had to pay more than $3,000 to fix it but the pain was more than the one-time expenditure. My Blazer now has subtle vibration on the steering wheel at acceleration and coasting, and the vibration is accompanied by the loud road noise. I think that the collision caused a misalignment of axles.   I really miss the smooth, quiet, silky ride of my Blazer. Now my Blazer is driving like a rough, noisy truck. I bought it new in 2000 and it has 83,000 miles on it.   Just a thought for everyone: if you test drive a used car or SUV, pay attention to any roughness of ride on accelaration and coasting. If you feel any roughness or excessive road noise, it may be because of misalignment of axles from an accident.

#3323 of 3449 1999 Jimmy steering problem by tenpinarm Dec 18, 2008 (10:02 am)
I just replaced my 4WD transmission module. I haven't been using 4WD for 2 yrs, but now I can't turn fully easily. If I'm going slowly It acts like I'm applying the brake.Any idea's? Doug

Replying to: sealteam8 (Dec 17, 2008 7:46 pm) Hi Sealteam8,   I tried and listened to the sound from the front end and feel the vibration on the steering wheel while the vehicle was making right and left turns and moving straight. It sounded like those problems were significantly reduced during the turn, both right and left, even though the weight was on the front wheels. I do not seem to hear humming noise during the turns. In the meantime, the noise and vibration seemed to exist whenever the vehicle was moving and they increased and decreased as the speed went up and down on the straight path and during the turns.   Do you have any ideas?   Do you think the noise and vibration could be from over-inflated tires? The body shop seems to have kindly cleaned and inflated the tires for me.   I will try and hear the noise and feel the vibration when the vehicle is driving on the very smooth road surface, where the tire noise is expected to be minimum. Thank you again for your help. I will post my message again.
