Got me a 2001 Blazer recently...that antenna IS for Onstar..but don't worry about removing..."Unstar" isn't any good for pre-2003 vehicles after January2008 anyways. They are dropping analog equipment and going full digital. Pre-2003 Onstar equipment will no longer function and become doorstops.2003 and after equipment can be "upgraded" with a $199 adapter (they supposedly give you 1 year subscription free with upgrade). http://www.onstar.com/us_english/jsp...transition.jsp

There IS a class-action suit ongoing for all those people who paid hundreds of $$ extra to get a new car With Onstar installed a few years ago and are being left in the dust. If you do a search for Onstar...you can learn all about it.

Intresting.I thought the little antenna looking thing on the windsheild at the headliner was for onstar? I just got my manual in the mail Saturday, so I will need to start glancing through it.

Doesn't matter, no way I would pay onstars monthly price for the services they offer.

I bought a 2001 Blazer LT over the weekend so I can officially retire my Z28 to Track/weekend duty. I am new to blazers, but not to GM, so I know there are free mods and other tricks that people have posted and I have started my long process of searching for all the information so I am as up on Specs of the Blazers as I am of the F-bodies/vettes (have already found one about a TB free mod, but need more info on it). I figured I would start a thread to make it easier on me.

Most of all I need a good place thats easy to read up on the main specs of my Blazer. Year to year, or whats similar in parts (like Jimmy parts) etc. I have started searching the site, but it's slow going.
For now I am looking for floor mats, as this is my truck I need a nice easy to take out and spray off cargo mat, but a simple nice mat up front. Let me know what brand has worked out the best. I want to do the 4 head light mod if it's not already (have done it on my Z and a 2000 silverado, so I'm sure it can be done easily), what can be done cheaply to squeeze a few more MPG out of it.
Got owned 97 for three years and had major problems with all in the first 5 to 10,000 miles. Although it was covered under the warranty, for me it's a big hassle. But then owning one like this car is just great. I've got to replace the ball joints because I just can't get my wheels aligned without it.
