Its funny how every time i fix something on my blazer something else seems to break. I just recently changed my shocks in the front end. Now Im having another issue. everytime i turn (mostly sharp ones) my blazer seems to "jump" and it feels like the tires are rubbing on something. It also slows down to pretty much a standstill unless i give it a good bit of gas....Unfortunatly i am completely stumped....new ball joints, shocks, brakes, calipers and rotors.......is it time to just quit and send it to the scrap yard? Help!!!!!!!

 

4wd? If it is I'd check the hub assemblies & make sure it's not engaged in 4wd. That "jumping" sounds like it's in 4wd especially during a sharp turn. Same with the slowing down faster than normal.

 

Sure sounds like it's in 4wd to me.

Check the vacuum switch on the transfer case, probably leaking and applying vacuum to the actuator under the battery, very common problem. The "fix" takes less than 15 minutes and it's under $20.

 

His sig "Its a tough world we live in, so fire up the 4X4, have a cold one, and get some mud on those tires!"

Obvious I'd think, but I hate to assume.
