#82 of 105 Re: Recurrent noise in front end. [repairdog] by thard88 Apr 14, 2007 (4:45 am)
Replying to: repairdog (Apr 13, 2007 3:23 pm) Sorry repairdog, 1999 3 button. Lower ball joints replaced 1-1/2" years ago. Doesn't sound like the u joints on the driveshaft, but at this time it could be anything (even the hamster on the wheel). I will try the vac line and let you know. Thanks a million.

#83 of 105 Electrical problem on 99 blazer by thard88 Apr 14, 2007 (4:50 am)
My 99 blazer has needed a sending unit due to the fact that the gas gauge has been registering full until I get real low, then it will register empty. Now the gauge does not work at all ( registering E all the time) with the light on, my thermastat readout isn't working also, and my shift indicator is not showing which gear I'm in although the PRND21 is still showing. After looking at the schematics I can't see any common wires with the exception of the instrument clusters. All this hapened at the same time.

Replying to: thard88 (Apr 14, 2007 8:19 am) Then you can see the vac solenoid on the firewall with a vac line coming in and the other going down the pass side to the actuator. That solenoid often fails partly open and a dealer only item around $25 and you just pull the 2 lines off (remember which is which) and a simple push to unclip from the bracket.

Replying to: thard88 (Apr 14, 2007 4:50 am) May not all be related. The sender is part of a one piece fuel pump assembly for about $400. plus install and have to drop then tank - very common Blazer problem as the newre pumps have a "Robust" sender now (means GM fixed it and now you can buy a new one and oh well, outa warranty). The new GMs have a 100k warranty but only powertrain so still lacks real help for all their common failures. It is possible the ground wire is bad pass side engine to firewall but not usually.   The thermostat sender is drivers side between the rear 2 plugs and clips on - may be off.
#87 of 105 hub assembly replacement by unicorn747 May 15, 2007 (5:49 am)
I'M GETTING READY TO REPALCE THE HUB BEARING ASSEMBLY ON MY 2001 GMC JIMMY - SHOULD THE BALL JOINTS OR ANYTHING ELSE REPLACED AT THAT TIME ALSO?? Replies to this message: repairdog (May 16, 2007 2:48 am)

Replying to: unicorn747 (May 15, 2007 5:49 am) Depends on mileage and use, as well as 2wd or 4wd. 2wd should be just hubs unless extreme use, in 150k range, loose, or the wear inducator is showing (grease zerk moves up) 4wds after 60k I'd do the lower ball joints and by 125k both lower and uppers as well as rebuilt CV axles as the boots always seem to rip right after the ball joints are done which required pulling the steering knuckle off (thats the big cast steel assembly) which takes all the time.   Good time to lok at brakes then as all comes off so grease the slides and make sure the pads still slide in the caliper brackets.   So, bottom line is look at the wear, your budget, and mileage and decide if you feel lucky today!

Replying to: whiteink (Aug 10, 2006 7:14 am) I changed the front shocks. I noticed a chafe on the front pass. shock where it was rubbing on something (control arm).I also soaked every bushing, shock mount with silicone spray and greased all fittings.   Quiet as a mouse now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111   http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/WebX/.f0cda57/8
#91 of 105 throttle position sensor-low input by unicorn747 Aug 07, 2007 (8:09 am)
ARE THROTTLE POSITION SENSORS HARD TO REPLACE? COULD THIS ALSO BE CAUSING MY JIMMY TO STALL? WOULD THIS PROBLEM ALSO MAKE MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT TO BE ON? WE'VE TRIED A NEW GAS CAP , BUT THAT DIDN'T MAKE IT GO OFF.
