#3648 of 3674 Do Wheel hubs have to be same brand by dp2226

Aug 23, 2011 (10:21 am)

I just installed a driveworks wheel hub from autozone last night. It was the only one in stock. Now the abs triggers on the other wheel. The driveworks hub had poor reviews(discovered after the fact). I want to replace the other hub to correct the abs issue. Does it have to be a driveworks hub to prevent fix my abs issue or will another brand work fine?

It was the fuel pump in my situation. I had 50 lbs with key on and 52 lbs at idle before replace ment. After new pump I had 55 lbs and 60 lbs respectivley. I also had more power when driving.
 
GM has problem with fuel pumps. I was told from dealer.

#3650 of 3674 1996 Chevy Blazer ABS by steventnorris

I just bought a '96 Chevy Blazer. The ABS light comes on steady. Attempting to troubleshoot, I found the lead power wires going to the ABS. One (black) is a ground. Two red wires are also present. One is from the battery and runs hot all the time. The other I'm not sure about, but isn't running hot ever aparently. Should this run hot from the ignition switch? Is it possible this is my problem? Also, I can't seem to find a schematic or any sort of diagram for this model. Does anyone know where to find one online?

You should read the codes stored in the ABS system to give you more focus on your diagnosis.

If you haven't found out by now:
 
Near the firewall on the passenger side should be a small tube rising up near the throttle body. It is no more than 1 inch in diameter and has a small cap.

Check and replace Disributor cap. Especially if this slow start issue occures on rainy or humid days more then any other.

Check and replace the destributor cap. They carrode inside, and have a tendency to collect moisture.

#3657 of 3674 99 Blazer 4x4 4.3 L poss. transmission problem? by miss_jessica

Dec 29, 2011 (7:59 pm)

My 99 4x4 blazer (160K miles) has had some problems with shifting for about a year now. The problem is intermittent, only begins after driving for long periods of time highway or city driving. Seems worse when the engine is hot.. Shifting gets very jerky between 1st and 2nd gears, also between 2nd and 3rd. Again, this problem only occurs after driving it for a while.
 
Any insights? My boyfriend and I are expecting and would really like to fix this problem so I'll have a reliable car to cart the peanut around in.. He's very capable and willing to look into any suggestions you might have. Great with troubleshooting, just needs to know where to start the search!
 
Should I get a transmission flush? Do you think it's a connector issue? I'm really hoping it's not my transmission that needs replacing!
