Hey ya'll. Got me a 99 Trailblazer today

1999 Trailblazer
Hey,
I have one, too, with 140K on it.
Dealer says I need to change tranny fluid. Any thoughts on this?
Also, he says I need a fuel filter. How would he know? It runs fine.
And finally, I think the heater core is clogged. Fan works fine, but no heat. Any thoughts?

My first Blazer. A white Trailblazer package, V6, loaded. 140,000 miles.
I got it today. Paid $3450. Pretty clean. Nice leather interior. No wind noise, no indication of the dreaded water leaks, at least not yet.
I like it. I know the miles may bite me but I didn't have much of a budget and I needed a capable 4WD for this winter (Northeast PA). If I have to do some wrenching on her, so be it.
You guys look like you got a nice forum here. Stay tuned for lots of questions from this noob, like:
Thanks for a great forum. I think I'm gonna like it here.
Drive safe.

You guys look like you got a nice forum here. Stay tuned for lots of questions from this noob, like:
- Where should I tap a MP3 input into the factory stereo?
- How simple is it to troubleshoot the electric mirrors?
- What is the K&N benefits vs cost?
- I have a bit of frame rust, particularly on the body mounts. What is the best rustproofing solution for the crappy salty winter roads up here in PA?
- What is the best value in a remote unlock?
Thanks for a great forum. I think I'm gonna like it here.
Drive safe.

as for your heater not blowing any heat, when was the thermostat last changed?
i don't know how long you've owned your truck, but it sounds like it's never had much maintenance done on it.
change your trans fluid, it's alot cheaper than rebuilding your trans, i always change ALL the fluids in a vehicle when i buy it, top to bottom.
same goes with the fuel filter. would you want it to start giving you an issue during the Winter? you know it'll do it on the coldest day, while miles away from everything.
when i bought my Blazer, the original owner said the heater core was gone too (half of the reason she was selling it). turns out the thermostat was the factory original one! (158000K, or 98000 miles).

Hey, guys, please don't think I am ignoring all these posts. For some reason I am not getting any notifications that anyone's posting on any threads I am subscribed to. Bummer! I've triple-checked my email address, no joy.
Anyway, thanks for all the feedback. Great forum!!

This truck has the factory AM-FM-CD with Auto Tone Control (if that makes sense).
Regarding the mirrors, you are right, I think its a switch problem, because the "right" button works for both mirrors (if you press real hard) but none of the other directions work for either mirrors. I will trouble-shoot the switch. (Along with the heated seat control rocker, which is pushed into the trim plate...)
Oh well, I love projects!

as for the "aux" connection in the back i was refering to, it's actually a plug for the factory CD shuttle to connect to. i was told by someone, that GM makes a harness that will let you plug in an adapter for MP3 players, using this port on the radio. i have yet to confirm this with a friend of mine @ GM yet, i'll let you know what i find out.
