Q: How do I get my 2000 Chevy Blazer to stop Squeaking?

Q: How do you unlock a 97 Chevy Blazer if the keys are locked in?
I have a 1997 Chevy Blazer and after a long night, I locked the keys in the car. So yeah, if anyone knows and tricks or anything.

A: I own a shop, and I would either use a slim jim or a coat hanger. Most all towing companies have the slim jim’s and will do it for a fee. A lot of cop cars carry them too, so if you know a cop, then maybe he will open it for you. A slim jim works by sliding it down beside the glass on the door, and hooking the lever rod that runs from the front lock knob to the latch on the door, and then just pull up on it and the door unlocks. Wrecker drivers usually have them in their truck so they can pull vehicles off the roadside that people have left there. Call the police, and they can tell you who has them, or they can come help you. We used to haul cars for the state police with our tow trucks is how I know about this. They are considered burglar tools, so not just anyone can have them. A lot of locksmiths have them too. They don’t do any damage like a coat hanger will to the rubber seal around the door. If you have a button for the rear glass on the dash, it may be easier to hit that than unlock the door with the coat hanger.
Glad to help out, Good luck!!!

Q: How much does it cost to fix/ replace a chevy blazer back bumper?
I accidently backed my car into a pole which then cracked the right side of my back bumper. My car is a chevy blazer and I don’t know whether I should get it fixed or replaced. Also how much would it cost to do this?

A: $500

Q: What is the cheapest way to lift a 1993 chevy blazer?
I have a 1993 chevy blazer that I would like to put a 6 inch lift kit on. All the places I’ve looked cost to much. Is it possible to put a front end from another truck similar on it that uses leaf springs?

A: Look, i understand you might be on a budget but if you are wanting to do something like this do it right or dont do it at all. The cheapest way is never the right way. You are doing a major modification to your truck here-you could be putting yourself in danger by trying to do something like this on the cheap.

Also is this the small blazer or the older large blazer? 6″ seems kind of alot for a small blazer. I would go with around 3″. I had a Jeep Wrangler at one time, had a 3″ lift on it. You would be surprised at what a 3″ lift combined with the right tires can do for a vehicle. It doesnt sound like much but it is.

Q: Where do you look for replacement interior parts for Chevy Blazer?
DH has a 92 Full size blazer. He loves it–but the drivers seat badly needs to be replaced. Where do I find one? I can try salvage yards, but will other chevy seats fit this? Thanks!

A: The cool thing about Chevrolet is most parts are interchangeable from year to year. I have a ‘58 chevy pickup, a 91 chevy pickup, a 2001 Chevy pickup, and a 76 Blazer and the seatbolt patterns are all the same. There are several places that make reproduction parts for Chevy/GMC trucks all the way back to the 20’s here are a couple of places to look

Q: How do i replace a directional switch on a Chevy Blazer?
I have a 2000 Chevy Blazer, tilt wheel 4×4
No cruise control
4.3 liter
Airbag

The directional switch needs replaced, do i need a steering wheel puller?
Is it possible to replace this at home without having the airbag go off?
If anyone has any info on this please answer.
Thanks.

A: Do not attempt to do this repair yourself. The air bag must be removed from the steering column in order to do this repair. A very simple repair for a body shop, but a costly and potentially dangerous repair for the amateur. If you do not know what you are doing and cause the airbag to go off, you can kiss an easy $1500 goodbye.

Q: how do you change the transmission fluid in a 2000 chevy blazer?
I have a 2000 chevy blazer 4×4, I want to change the transmission fluid. How do I drain the old transmission fluid?

A: There is only one way to change all of the transmission fluid in any vehicle, and that is a transmission flush. Most flush machines either use the transmissions own fluid pump to provide the pressure to flush the unit.

The alternative is to remove the transmission pan, clean everything (go ahead and replace the transmission filter while you are in there) then reassemble and add fluid.

The problem with a pan drop is that you only really replace about 3-4 quarts of the 8-10 quarts in your transmission. The other 5-6 quarts of fluid are in you torque converter, valve body and lines and cannot be drained out without extensive disassembly. That being said, replacing the 3-4 quarts is better then nothing.

Keep in mind that a transmission filter replacement is usually a maintenance item, and not considered a repair. You don’t replace the filter to fix a transmission that is not shifting or is not working (though sometimes it can restore functionality, usually having starved the transmission of fluid due to a clogged filter will cause irreparable damage)

Good luck,

Q: I have a 98 chevy blazer and the heater never stops blowing hot air, even when off and on cold. Whats up?

A: The blend air door may be malfunctioning.

Q: How do you check/add transmission oil in a 98 chevy blazer?
My husband wants to check the transmission oil on our grandmothers 98 Chevy blazer, but he’s only use to Hondas. Any help would be appreciated since she’s too scared to drive it.

A: Just start up the vehicle and let it run for a few minutes. Then take out the dipstick that is for the transmission fluid. It is typically red. Check it a few times and see if it is low or not. If it is grab a funnel that will fit down into the dipstick tube and add the level of tranny fluid that is needed.

Q: Is it difficult to change the intake gasket on a 2001 chevy blazer?
I have a 2001 Chevy Blazer. Every time I pour coolant in there it comes right back out. A car shop told me that I needed to change the intake gasket which is a $60 kit, plus $240 with labor. I think that I can save a lot if I just did it myself. I’m going to give it a try. Is it very hard to do?

A: Let the pros do it. If you make the smallest mistake it may cost you an engine.

Q: How to put an electric fan on a Chevy Blazer?
I have a 2001 chevy blazer. I can’t get the original fan off. I’ve taken all 4 bolts off but it didn’t come off. There is one massive bolt in the center which goes back to the block, but i wasn’t sure if that was the right one. So what do I do now?

A: you sure you took off the right bolts…. and then give it a wacksomethings they are four bolts in the fan and four bolts in the fan clucth either ones it should have come off if you had bump it a bit
