Default Wheel Alignment Specs for 2000 4WD Blazer

Hello. I have a right-hand-drive year 2000 Blazer (4WD) that is starting to wear the outer edge of the front tyres. Can anyone tell me the front wheel alignment specs (i.e. the amount of toe-in) for this truck, as the workshops over here in the UK don't keep information about Blazers. I could get them to set the wheels parallel, but I'd prefer to know the proper settings. Had a look on the forums and on the net, and can't find them. Does anyone know? Many thanks. Lee

Default Unit check

Many thanks guys. Can I check, though, what units are you using? When you say -0.1 to 0.1, do you mean mm, inches, degrees..? Many thanks. Lee

These should be in degrees. Although depending on the alignment machine it may be in inches. The toe in is measured in inches. Although if I'm wrong someone please correct me.

Degrees or fractions thereof. I think toe is 1/8" if you convert it to inches, but GM gives the info in degrees.
I added the Caster & Camber specs so he could check them and if he needs to adjust anything: In this order; adjust the caster, adjust the camber, adjust the toe.
