no problem that's what where here for. and u guys helped me out alot... thank you. but unfortunately i retired the blazer.. i got a lemon. way to many hrs under the hood for nothing. it still wouldn't start when cold.. after i caught the engine on fire a wee with some eather. i decided to trade the pos in. i got a silverado now. much more truck 
. and way better.
my list of repairs.. enuf is enuf..
cap
rotor
dist (junk yard)
Ignition control mod
plugs
vacuum line was melted to trasfer case
vacuum acuator for the front diff (junk yard)
new vacuum lines to it
front diff sensor thing
changed all of the diff fluids
fuel filter
fuel lines inside of the plenum
painted plenum
new upper and lower intake gaskets
thermostat
heater hoses (exploded)
heater vacuum lines to dash
blower resistor
flushed trans
flushed coolant
new pitman arm (fun fun)
new idler arm
shocks on the front
new drivers seat
new multi function switch (that was fun too)
no interior lights
new coolant sensor
new map and new connector
4x4 switch on t case
new brake line from the fire wall back to the rear
new speakers in the rear
I was done...
After all of this it wouldn't stop for crap in the snow. 4x4 sucked and it was very uncontrollable. kinda scary. and if it was cold it would have a hell of a time starting.
New truck 200k on a 98 silverado 4x4 like brand new. the a/c even works hahhaah.. the blazer has 125k and it was toasted. i tried reviving it. but...
BYE BYE blazer i wont miss your headache

I just got mine in Oct.
So far,
New muffler
motor and trans mounts
tune-up, thats really it
Not I got this trans problem, the diagnosis says trans output speed sensor
so I am dropping it off at a shop today and see what happens
Good lock with your new truck, the Silverado is boss
And dont flush your trans on an old *** truck, it could really **** it up
Just add fluid if needed, thats it
Oh, and the guy that I got it from had the driveshaft removed, so I just have the 2 wheel drive, but it drives fine without it
Havent had any big snow yet, so if I get stuck, I know to get another put in
