Hey all, this is my first post on here. I just bought an '89 blazy and I LOVE it. It does have its quirks though. It only has 76,000 miles and is in showroom condition (ill post pics later). It runs pretty much perfect, but I was noticing that if its hot outside and I have been sitting in traffic with my A/C on high, the engine temps really gets up. It gets to around 210, normal for it is less than half that... Other than this, it NEVER gets hot.Is this normal, or amI paranoid? Should I replace my t-stat and coolant?

Also, my passenger window doesnt work (electric). It goes down like 3 inches then makes a loud clicking noise and stops. It also makes the noise when it stops at the top.... What could this be? I was told by a friend that it could be a clip of some type...???

My other problem is that thetailgate lock is busted. I know I have to replace it, and i have the part ($10)but I cant even lower the tailgate to get the inside panel off. How can I get the damn tailgate down??? Or can I pull the inside panel off while the tailgate is up???

Thanks for any input! Sorry my first post has to be of this nature...

 

first question were do you live if you don't mind me asking it sounds like you live in the desert dbleon pm me and let me know if you are in arizona by chance if you are and your close to me i can help you out no problem otherwise ac on in the heat mine does it too not a big deal when you start moving it cools off to around let me guess 200 or just under well hit me up lata

 

Ya I'm in tucson... the temp only gets up to 200 when Im sitting still for a while (ideling) with the a/c on high.... when i start moving it gets back down to normal ~ 150. I found someone to help me with the tailgate, but I'm still lost with the window... any ideas? I will actually be up in phx next weekend to take care of some buisness...

 

what part of phx you going to be at im in the north valley

 

from reading this thread, i think all you need to do is unscrew the handle on the inside, pry off the trim and pop out a spring....

 

I know... the problem is that you cant get the inside panel off w/ out lowering the tailgate. The tailgate wont come down. Thats what I am trying to saolve at this point...

 

the tailgat wont go down right now hhmm and you can't get the interior cover off at all or the handle to get to the rods to manually open it
