My 2001 Jimmy has been real fun so far. I've replaced the thermostat, oil cooler lines, waterpump & radiator hoses within the last two monthes. (hoses had to come off for the pump, so I said might as well do it for peace of mind)

I've flushed my heatercore within the last couple weeks, so that shouldn't be an issue anytime soon. What else is common to go on these trucks? [sm=icon_quiet.gif]

 

there was a 5 page thread on this before about problems with blazers

if that gives you any idea

lol

 

fuel filters, clean MAF

 

Ball joints, idler arm, oil cooler lines. Korey

 

i hear that! in the6 months i have owned my 95 4x4 i have made a list of the job and a rating of how hard it was on a scale of 1 to 10 10 being the hardest:
1. new idler arm (5)
2. new evap control purge solnoid (3), but only after trial and error and replacing the charcoal canister (1)
3. new cam angle sensor (6) cause it was in the back of the engine behind the f---ing air plenum!
4. while doing cam angle sensor put new dist cap, rotor, plugs and plug wires on (7). Jesus only knows why they (enginers) put the mid driver side plug behind the steering shaft, and why the engine mount had to be put right in front of the front pass side spark plug!
5. new water pump also (5) after the gasket on the old one started leaking!
6. simple atf change (5)took 4 hours cause i had to unbolt the cross member that holds the transfer case (should have taken 1 hr max)!
7. new silverstars took an hr to put in (2), should have taken1 min per side max!

oh yeah, my driver side door sags, seat is riped on left side of driver seat from in suffuicient padding over top of brackets, power mirror switch rarely works, ect.

all and all i still love the truck but would rather work on my honda crx any day of the week all of the above jobs max out a maybe a 2 on the difficulty scale, **** i put a"new" engine in it from japan with less hassle!

 

oh yeah oil cooler lines leaking, how hard are they to repair?

 

thanks all....yea I had the fuel filter done when I bought the car, it had a mice nest under the air filter so when I cleaned that out, I replaced the air filter lol...

 

There's also the intake manifold gasket and fuel pump. I replaced those two in the past 3 months. That was real fun to do.
