9 trim panels around rear windows wearing down due to florida sun damage(as soon as i get it back im sanding primeing and painting them)
10 drivers side window motor shuts off sporadically
11 blew a fuse in my power locks by hitting the rear latch release
12 FPR went bad(fixed that myself)

just bought a 2003 blazer 4wd...aftermarket stereo picks up engine noise, and the lights flicker alot...not sure if it's a stereo issue or the dimmer switch or maybe the alternator...it had 125k mi and still runs pretty good. I just hope it wasn't an unwise purchase. Oh yeah, what is up with the whole interior rattling like it's gonna fall apart every time I hit a bump? Oh yeah, it's a chevy lol

Bought my '95 3 months ago with 104,000 miles on it. It had the following issues:
-leaky front seal on the transmission
-leaky rear output shaft on the transfer case
-bad ball joints
-leaky windshield grommet on the top (silicone fixed that)
-rattling passenger front, and drivers rear door cards (still there)
-clogged/stuck open EGR
-power mirrors do not work (don't care)
-Freon low (not leaking though)
-original cap and rotor (no really)
-drivers side pleather seat torn all to hell
-worn front brake pads
-oil pressure gauge bounces all over the place at idle...some sort of electrical issue I think
Everything else is in awesome shape for the year. The interior is nearly new looking. The Eaton G80 locker even still works =P

as for my issues, ive had her for about a month, shes an 03 jimmy zr2! bought it certified (safetied) which was just upper front ball joints and just noticed that ebrake is unhooked somewhere and getting fixed monday.
my swing away tire rack rattles over any bump, so i took the tire off and its gone. i actually chased down another 2nd gen zr2 to ask him if his did it. yup said to grab some electrical tape and wrap the latch point once a year lol. so thats next.
wet passenger side floor. found out that when i installed my amps, my 0 gauge wire was put through where the antenna wire is and i forgot to reinstall a grommet.
driver door leaks and thanks to this thread i may have a way to fix it. new hinges because mine creek and squeak when i open them all the way. so new door hinge pins!
i love her so far, couldn't ask for anything better right now!

its the fuel sending unit. on 2nd gens the fuel pump and the sending unit are one piece. so in order to replace one you have to replace the other. worst part is gettin the tank down. ac delco replacement cost around $400. but id replace it with something cheaper that isnt ac delco cause chances are it will work alot better

Replacing the pump with a cheaper, lesser aftermarket brand is a sure way to end up replacing the pump again in the near future, but do what you think is best.
