what have you gotten done on your blazer today?

lol, well, it was given to my sister-in-law from her father, and it got left out by a pond during a pretty bad series of storms a while back. It ended up getting carried about 50 feet into the woods by the rising waters, and apparently the "water tight" body plugs at were in it didn't seal too great, it took on water and half way sunk... So it'll need all the fluids drained and changed (engine isn't internally rusted and locked up at least, I can turn it over with the pull rope), plan on either rebuilding or just replacing the carb on the Briggs engine that's in it, the controls have gotten a little rusty and stiff, a couple of the tires never really held air great so that'll need addressed, really the hole thing needs a once-over...

VXDiag VCX Nano
There's two GM versions, with and without wifi connection capabilities. For the $10 more I just went ahead and got the one with wifi
WiFi Version VXDiag VCX NANO for GM/OPEL GDS2 Tech2Win
Yes it can do ABS bleeding.
Last night I use it to clear out an old ABS code, as well as an old airbag code.
And correct about the subscription needed to actually reprogram modules (SPS operations). This setup emulates the Tech2 with the actual Tech2Win software on a laptop, also emulates the J2534 module as well, and I can also run the GDS2 software. All came with it on a software CD
I don't mind paying $40 to get 2 years of access to reprogram modules per vehicle.Will probably have everything programmed the way I want within a short time anyhow lol.

You have better luck than me the pond would be twenty feet deep and at the bottom is where I would have found it

Replaced the fuel pump in the Jimmy today. I went with another $30 Amazon special. The last one made it two years. I did cut a hole in the floor this time. I will get some pics of how I sealed it up later.
