Default Got My First Blazer

Hello, my name is Brad and I just purchased a '99 Blazer LS 4x4 with 133,000 miles. I have previously had a '92 and '01 s10 pickup, both with 4.3 v6, but this is my first blazer and first 4x4.

I have spent the last week crawling under and over it replacing vacuum lines (one to the 4x4 actuator which had melted to liquid on the exhaust manifold). I know have working 4x4. About the only things that still don't work are the vent controls and the rear wiper.

I may do a few upgrades or accessories over time, but this is mainly meant as a street vehicle with the ability to handle snow in the winter and perhaps less than ideal roads on camping trips and such.

I will say both the headlights and reverse lights seem about as bright as a book match. I wouldn't mine replacing these and even adding some extra lights to front and back.

Welcome Brad! Yes that rear wiper is one of those things that all Blazers are prone too. Both mine I have replaced. 1 was completely dead and the other at least BUZZZZed LOL Easy fix tho
