Hey guys - new blazer owner - have some questions and need pointers
 

I'm a new owner of a '99 LT blazer, was a good buy with only 110k km (65k miles). I got it from people who did not use the car alot for driving, but when they did drive it they werent the best at it, car has a bunch of dings and small dents and it is very obviouse those came from hitting stationary objects. I also don't think they did much of maintance with exception of oil changes.

So here are my questions........

how often should I do tranny and t-case fluid changes?

how often/when spurk plugs should be changed?

I've replaced a whole bunch of parts in the front end, is there anything I should watch out for?

Now the heat.....it's pretty weak. Sup with that? It blows hot air but it doesnt matter if the fan is on half or full, it still blows like it's at half. Common?

I've replaced front shocks, should i replace the rear ones as well?

It was clear that the previouse owner had slammed into a curb with the front pass tire, when I got the car the front passanger side was sitting MUCH lower than the driver. I took it to a mechanic and had them adjust the torsion bolts to bring the car to level. Now that the car is leveled on both sides I noticed that the torsion bolt on the passanger side is almost all the way IN, while the one on the driver side is only about half way in. What could it mean if the torsion bolts are in different positions but the car is leveled? Bent torsion bar? I also got an alighnment, I was there when they did it, everything checked out and and the computer said everything is straight............however when you drive the truck pulls to the driver side/left. Could this have anything to do with torsion bolts being in different positions?

what else should I look at? just trying to do some preventive maintance before winter really kicks in here.

thank you guys.

the pulling problems could be your tires check the pressure and best of luck to you i dont much about torsion bars

here are some pics of my blazer, seems to be a very common colour
