Probably the flux capacitor... But you may need more halogen fluid for your headlights.

Seriously though... How do you expect to get help if you do not provide any real useful information? Lets start with what you are driving. Then follow that up with some more descriptions of what is "strange" about how your truck is acting. Is the CEL (check engine light) illuminated? If so, get the codes read and let us know what they are.

When was the last time you did a tune up on the truck? Add anything else you deem appropriate to provide us with.

2000 chevy Blazer. 2dr, 2 wheel drive. 6 cyl.

Blazer has been smelling hot after driving. The engine sounds different than it used to....cant really describe nosie.....just not the same. oil is fine, tranny fluid is fine, coolant is fine.....

not really sure what is going on with it.

its the wifes car, we live on st thomas.....lots of hills....steep.

blazer takes longer to shift than normal...and when it does down shift for going up hills....sounds strained....sounds bad

dont know how to pull codes, however the check engine light is on.....

any help or ideas would be great.....thanks...

oh, ill check the blinker fluid next.....

Most autoparts stores now will read codes for free. Start there.
