Replying to: jlflemmons (May 19, 2009 2:29 pm) I will definitely do that. I have had people tell me that $1500 is very high for this type of repair. Thanks for the advice! Replies to this message: c5nut (May 27, 2009 4:42 pm)
#138 of 176 Wheel bearing by dabbydo1952 May 25, 2009 (10:18 am)
Well, well, well, Ladies and Gentlemen....the mystery is solved. My problem was a wheel bearing. The first mechanic (?) said my differential was going out and that it would cost $1500. The second mechanic wanted $50 to diagnose my problem but that I had a wheel bearing going out. I finally found a FABULOUS mechanic on Angie's List. He diagnosed the noise as a wheel bearing immediately. He fixed it that afternoon for less than $450. I would have been SICK to have spent $1500 on a rear differential and then found out it was a wheel bearing later. So, I am back on the road!

I keep telling everyone that I am trying to build a new car a piece at a time. So many things have gone wrong in a year-and-a-half. I'm afraid of what is next. I have replaced the brakes twice, alternator, serpentine belt, fuel pump, wheel bearing, and ball joints; and my water pump has supposedly been going out for a year. I have lived in my current apartment for one year and have had my car broken in to three times (the last time breaking out the window). So, I am pretty exhausted at this point.   What should a new water pump cost, should it finally go out? Replies to this message: jlflemmons (May 27, 2009 6:41 pm) dabbydo1952 (May 28, 2009 4:50 am)

Replying to: dabbydo1952 (May 27, 2009 6:07 pm) Less than $50. It is basically the same water pump as used on a Chevy V8. Replies to this message: dabbydo1952 (May 28, 2009 4:50 am)
#143 of 176 Water pump by duntov May 28, 2009 (4:33 am)
A 2000 Chevrolet Blazer with a serpentine belt must use a reverse flow (ccw) , long style water pump. AC Delco 252-711 (new) GM-88926225 $50   Rebuilt reverse flow water pumps vary from $35 - $50.   Note: Chevrolet engines with a V-belt use a standard flow (cw) water pump.

Replying to: jlflemmons (May 27, 2009 6:41 pm) A year ago, a mechanic gave me a price of $250. The most recent estimate was approximatley $450. I am a single woman, so I can't do it myself (not that a woman is not perfectly capable. It's just that "I" am not). Maybe when my boyfriend comes home I can have him fix it.

#146 of 176 2003 Blazer knocking under driverside floorboard around left foot by kevinmn Jun 03, 2009 (5:46 pm)
While driving fast but more noticable when slow, going straight with AC on or off and in 2 or 4 wheel drive there is a knocking that I can feel on my left foot. It becomes more distinct the longer I've been driving. Any ideas? I just had new tires put on as well as a new oxygen sensor but I think I remember it before I had those repairs made. I crawled underneath and looked around but don't see anything obvious or even many functioning parts around the suspect area. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.
