Default blazer specification help

(not sure if this is were i should post this.)

currently I am taking an automotive class up on college. (I just recently bought a Blazer. 2001 4dr, 4wd) Well we have this spec. sheet that we need to fill out but I cant figure out all the answeres because part of them come from the door jamb sticker which is non existant on my vehicle. I was hoping that some of you could help me fill out this sheet as you all have tons more experience than I with the blazer.

also if any of you know how to get new stickers or at least a sheet that describes some of the car that would be great. I already tried gm customer service and got two answeres that didn't work. thanks a load guys!!!!

Go to the library and most of the answers are in a Chiltons or haynes manual. http://www.autozone.com/shopping/repairLanding.htm Click on specs. Also we can't help you unless you list what kind of blazer. There are also two ways to determine the year of your car(don't know which one you want). The model year or the year/month/place it was made in the door jamb. Goodluck

Or go to GM Owner Center, register with your VIN, and you can download a .pdf of your owner's manual with the information in it.

yeah. the big book? although it doesnt specify all of the things. like tire pressure. year etc. Its a generic book. Sadly the town i live in is reletively small and doesnt have books like that in the library. Thanks for the autozone link. so far its working great.. although i still would like to be able to find the serial # etc. year it was made month....

serial number?
If you mean your VIN it is on the cash, drivers side (Bottom of the windshield from outside)
also on your registration.

have you tried running down the RPO list from the sticker in your glovebox? it wont tell you everything from your list but will help with some not to mention you may learn some things you didnt already know about your vehicle (ie. mine came factory with keyless entry but no remotes when i bought it so i had no idea)

Fuel pump is inside the gas tank.
Transmission model is 4L60E

Everything else you have looks to be correct from my knowledge. Can't help with any other other than what you had put in.
