Hello, new to this forum I have a few questions, but before i do I have a '01 blazer lt, v6 vortec engine 4wd (think thats all the info you guys need lol)

Number 1, can someone point me in the direction if there's a how to or what not on how to replace the fan belt?

Numero 2, My truck needs a air pump replaced, its sopmething to do with the trani, located behind the driver rear tire I believe, when u heavy foot the pedal the truck's rpms will dip, fell like it stalls (only stalled twice on a heavy rainfall night) and the truck loses speed. Almost like a vaccuum leak of some sort. I need to know, one what is this called this part, 2. can it be done myself and how hard (Im pretty handy). how much $$? Mechanic's told me 500, i think i can do this myself for a lower price.

Thanks alot

 

I believe that if you look on Autozones website, and click on repair info, you can get a watered down version on the service manual. It will show you how to replace the belt.

On the second q, I have no idea, but someone else will probably be able to help you out.

 

thanks, ill look into that, but anyone know about the 2nd quest? its called secondary air pump

 

According to my GM Service information DVD the secondary air pump for the 4.3L vin-W is on the lower part of the engine near the steering linkage...if you go to S10crewcab.com there is a write up about the air pump...

 

That site is down and lower part of the engine eh? hmmm thats weird..

 

Ok try this I forgot the hyphen:
