2001 4wd 4Dr problems.
Hey guys new to the forums.
So I just bought my second 2nd Gen Blazer. This one being under 100k. The previous owner neglected this Blazer bad.
1. Gap, rotor, plugs and plug wires were NEVER replaced 11yrs old!
2. Vacuum line shot never replaced
3. had to replace the drivers lower control arm as where the sway bar connects to the lower control arm broke at the welds. Rebuilt the entire left front.
4. Ran only water in the cooling system for some time. I've flushed it 3 times and still trying to get it as clean as possible.
This is just the start of the underlying issues. I've had to replace the TPS also as that went bad. The rough idle thing is driving me crazy. I'll work on that part after reading some of the threads here on the common causes.
So I'm slowly bringing this thing back to life. Still need to change the fluids for the front diff, transfer case, trans, rear diff.!
Comments and suggestions welcome.
Thanks
John
P.S.
I'm pretty familiar with the 2nd Gen Blazers so I'm mostly aware of the common issues related to it.
