Cool Hello from northeren Illinois

Hi there,

I found this site looking for a fix to my 2000 blazer that wouldn't start after I replaced the fuel pump. Turns out the new fuel pump was bad. I like to do all the work on my vehicles since I don't like to pay someone to do something I can do myself. I work construction as a member of Iron Workers Union Local 498 out of Rockford IL. I worked as a Tool and Die/Mold Maker for about ten years out of high school before jumping over to the Iron Workers. I married my wife ten years ago and we have three kids 12, 6, and 3. I look forward to learning as much as I can from this site, and apply it to working on my blazer. There seems to be a lot of vary useful information on this site. LOL!!! Now I just need to learn to use the search function effectively.

Welcome to the forum from no where near Il!

I have driven in different areas across this country and out of it. of all my time I have never HATED a place more than Chicago. Not your fault, but still, that place blows for driving.

Thanks for the welcomes guys.

I live about 90 west of Chicago and I have to agree it sucks driving in or near that damn city. Thew traffic sucks and the people driving in there are freaking nuts. They're either just dumb, or don't give a rats *** about anything or anyone around them.
