Just picked up and registered a '99 build (1sr Reg 2000) LT Blazer, Japan spec.

Everything works, only 39,000 kms, needs a good cleanup though.

Heater's stuck on, nice in an Australian summer!

 

Welcome.

 

Welcome from NY

 

Here's a piccy of the beast. Handy being built in RHD for the Japan market, means we don't have to convert them.

 

if ya dont mind me asking whats those black things on the bumper ?

nice truck btw

 

Headlight washers.

 

fancy

 

Anyone know where the heater door actuator would be on a RHD model? Seems that this may be the problem with the a/c as it's got plenty of gas and is cold right up to the heater box. Otherwise it seems like a pretty good truck so far, ride's a little boat-like but that's to be expected in a US wagon.

 

Big job to get to the a/c heater. I had to get Bunce Motors to do mine. There's a plastic cog that diverts cold air and this splits & needs replacing. Whole dash need to come apart.
Other than that, you're right - good little truck. Especially with the steering on the right side!

There are loads of them here. (All used Jap imports - but then I'm sure you know).

 

I've found a thread that reckons you can get the switch out if you can get a socket in the small space; the vacuum switch comes out OK. I'll give it a go, there's heaps of switches on EBay but it's hard to find the correct one, as there's a manual and climate control one and the pins are different. Part #s all seem to change as well. I put a hex key in the hole on top of the switch to try to manually close it but there didn't seem to be anything below it- I'm wondering if the door's broken off. Also, anyone know how to service the sunroof? I'ts a bit creaky, and I have to fiddle with the switch to close it. It's thunderstorm season here, and I don't want it to jam half closed.
