garry2000blazer's EGR VALVE CLEANING article was a big help for a common Blazer problem. So common it just seems like standard maintenance from what I read...(and I did A LOT of that)

https://blazerforum.com/forum/article-submissions-discussions-47/how-egr-valve-cleaning-discussion-thread-18901/

Its written for a 96+ blazer, but I found it was still a big help on my 95. Except on the 95 I needed to remove a large air duct connected to the engine, leading to the air filter, that was just above my EGR valve (sy for the noobish description).

Pay attention to the part by swartlkk about the pintle. Mine was would stick when fully depressed, it slides free and easy now after all the sludge I cleaned and knocked out of there. *edit* I've come to realize that this fix is somewhat temporary, but will get the job done while you wait for your new EGR valve to come in.*

Just found this while searching for something completely unrelated today:
GM Index Test Articles (4.3L, 5.0L, 5.7L)

It's a list of diagnostic testing on a lot of different things applicable to the 2nd gen trucks.

Heater/AC stuck on hot/cold or intermittent blasts of cool air?
 

I found this posting extremely helpful to replace the blend door actuator. Apparently "the book" calls for the dash to be removed to replace this $145 part from NAPA. This post shows you how to avoid removing the dash while still completing the repair. It should be noted that I have the Electronic Climate Control (ECC) which controls the blend door actuator. It is a very similar, yet different part if you have the manually controlled heat/AC.

We need to add to this & keep it front line IMO.
Way too many are asking what are 'generic' questions that answers can easily be found if they searched.
Most I just don't want to answer because of that.
