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.

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) 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. |

| 2001 Blazer with 122,567 miles. Coming home I got the 0446 code. What is it and where do I need to look and/or need to replace. Solenoid, canister??? Never replaced those so I am not sure where they are. Just replaced distributor cap and rotor two weeks ago. Had it inspected at our local MVC and they tested the gas cap and it passed. Replaced fuel pump and filter two months ago. It seems that when it rains, the SES light pops up. Once cleared it stays gone. Would appreciate all/any advice/help. Thanks. . . . . . | |
| I have a 2002 Chevy Trailblazer with 64000 on the vechicle. Yesterday the driving lights did not come on. Are there seperate bulbs for the driving lights? I have low and high beams for the regular headlights. | |
