Red face Hey ya'll. Got me a 99 Trailblazer today

My first Blazer. A white Trailblazer package, V6, loaded. 140,000 miles.

I got it today. Paid $3450. Pretty clean. Nice leather interior. No wind noise, no indication of the dreaded water leaks, at least not yet.

I like it. I know the miles may bite me but I didn't have much of a budget and I needed a capable 4WD for this winter (Northeast PA). If I have to do some wrenching on her, so be it.

You guys look like you got a nice forum here. Stay tuned for lots of questions from this noob, like:
  • Where should I tap a MP3 input into the factory stereo?
  • How simple is it to troubleshoot the electric mirrors?
  • What is the K&N benefits vs cost?
  • I have a bit of frame rust, particularly on the body mounts. What is the best rustproofing solution for the crappy salty winter roads up here in PA?
  • What is the best value in a remote unlock?
Sorry if I got carried away with the questions

Thanks for a great forum. I think I'm gonna like it here.

Drive safe.

Rob

Welcome from South Carolina...

Where should I tap a MP3 input into the factory stereo?
probably not a input for aux in the 99 trailblazer
What is the best value in a remote unlock?i have a python security...it has remote start, keyless entry, alarm for round 400 bucks installed by best buy...

welcome to the show brother. regarding the MP3, what stereo do you have? some have an "aux" port in the back of them. what problems are you having with your mirrors? (could be a switch problem).
have a good one Rob, hope you have fun with your new toy.

Welcome

What is the K&N benefits vs cost? Most guys find out that K&N is overrated. Granted it works like it says it does and there is a little more power added.. but nothing that a 40$ ebay intake and a nice K&N filter can't do.. No sense in paying close to 300$ for a complete K&N system IMO.

I have a bit of frame rust, particularly on the body mounts. What is the best rustproofing solution for the crappy salty winter roads up here in PA? Get some do it yourself truck bedliner.. or have line ex or rhino liner or whoever spray along the undercarriage. Particularly the frame of the truck.
