RE: 2002 blazer
Next time you drive home, feel both front hubs, the center section of the wheels. Is one hotter then the other? Sounds to me like your pulling problem is either a wheel bearing or a brake caliper that is hanging up. that would also explain the drag getting up to speed.
As for the water behind the right tire. Typical, like pointed out above, condensation fromt eh a/c system. Your ac runs in the winter to control moisture in teh cab of the truck, keeps the windows fog free on the inside.

Yes, the A/C compressor runs when you are using any flavor of Defrost. Reasoning behind this was: Refrigerated air carries less moisture..... So far as I am concerned, if I have to run my deFROSTer, ALL The air is refrigerated..... Meh. Silly me.....

RE: 2002 blazer
UPDATE:
I took the damn thing to the garage last Thursday, and had the mechanic look at what may be wrong, including taking it for a nice test drive in which it would climb, and all that stuff. The mechanic tells me that everything's fine. I take it, and the same problems are existing... however, this evening things seemed to be getting worse...
Now when I accelerate I hear a loud, deep sound on acceleration... and in stop and go driving, it is harder to come to a stop, and harder to re-accelerate, plus I still feel every little bump.
still no SES light, temperature at a cool 195. could this be a battery/alternator issue?
(i had the same issue with a dodge stratus, and ended up putting over 1000 into the vehicle before saying "screw it", and I've only had this vehicle a little over a month, so you can see where Im afraid of something bad happening.)
blah

2."loud, deep sound" - can you tell the general area where the sound comes from?
3."harder to stop and accelerate" - have you checked the brakes?
4.This is not a battery/alternator issue.
