Replying to: 20blazer00 (Apr 20, 2009 4:22 pm) This is not uncommon in 4X4's they use torsion bars in the front suspension, since the front drive axle's go through where the coil springs would be. There is a ride height setting procedure in the Haynes or Chilton repair manual. Also, a front end shup will do this as part of the alignment. The alignment may well be out as well, so probably best to take it to an independent, locally-owned shop.
#3359 of 3449 Re: fuel gauge bounce and high speed hesitations [demonhide] by johnss10 Apr 21, 2009 (4:08 pm)
Replying to: demonhide (Apr 01, 2009 4:10 am) These two things might be related. The high speed miss could be a weak fuel pump or clogged fuel filter. Cheapest/easiest is the fuel filter.   The gauge is either a poor connection, or more likely a worn float assembly. The float assembly and fuel pump come together for these vehicles, so replacing the fuel pump/fuel sender may fix both problems. About $130 for the parts. I'd check with Rock Auto on the net first, ususlly have best prices.

My 96 GMC Jimmy keeps blowing the #9 fuse. which control the fuel pump, fuel control relay sensor, the ecm. All of these have been changed and yet it still blows the fuse. Stopping the engine from running. After they were changed it started but when i put it in reverse it shut off. And blow it again. Now when i put the key in the position it blows the fuse.

To me that sounds as if you either have a short or a bare wire exposed.Maybe in the fuel system, like between the tank and body. I'd guess that when you put it in gear it viberates and shorts out or maybe just cranking it causes enough to short the wire(s) out. I'd have to start there, and run down the wires until you find it.
#3362 of 3449 Fuel pump wiring harness by duntov Apr 27, 2009 (2:48 am)
Whenever the fuel pump is replaced, it is recommended to replace the fuel pump wiring harness and the screem. The wiring harness and screen usually does not come with the fuel pump and must be purchased separately.
#3363 of 3449 Popping noise in front end by stewart_h25 May 08, 2009 (4:50 am)
My 99 2dr 4wd Jimmy makes a popping noise in the the front. It is happening more and more often. It gets much worse during wet conditions. I replaced the ball joints on both the driver and passenger side wheels within the past year. I put new brakes and rotors on less than 6 months ago. I cannot figure out what keeps making the noise. Can anyone give me any ideas? Replies to this message: 1986blazer (May 08, 2009 9:49 am) sealteam8 (May 08, 2009 11:54 am)
#3364 of 3449 Front wheel bearings? by duntov May 08, 2009 (5:45 am)
Check the front wheel bearing/hub assemblies.Premium Timken bearing/hub assemblies cost about $160 a pair at auto parts stores but you can find cheap Chinese made bearing/hub assemblies for less on e-bay. The Chinese parts may be just as good as Timken but I would not use them.

Replying to: stewart_h25 (May 08, 2009 4:50 am) check your cv axles and u-joints

Replying to: stewart_h25 (May 08, 2009 4:50 am) You can check the sway bar end links in the front end as well! They go bad and make a popping or clunking sound
#3367 of 3449 98 Jimmy No 3rd Gear by jimbob98 May 14, 2009 (6:06 am)
I have a 98 Jimmy 4wd that was working basically fine. Suddenly, on way to work, 3rd gear stopped working. Shifts smooth through 1st & 2nd, but then acts like it shifts from 2nd to Neutral. Reverse works fine. I drained fluid (milk chocolate color) and magnet had abt 1/4" of sludge on it (not gritty at all, but only on magnet). Replaced filter, topped up fluid, no change. What is likely issue? I'm needing to get this back on the road w/ as few $$ as possible, willing to put my time into it. Do I get a rebuild kit for it? (Never rebuilt tranny, but did an engine).   Thanks for your help. Replies to this message: johnss10 (May 15, 2009 1:37 pm) quantumtouchfl (May 19, 2009 8:50 am)
