    Vortec V6 LS Blazer (problem)

    What year was your blazer? If it's a vortec engine I would think its 96 or newer. Maybe I'm wrong.

    Vortec V6 LS Blazer (problem)

    Try cleaning your maf sensor. I had a the same symptoms you have on acceleration. The dealer did a "cleaning" of my throttle body and told me the maf sensor was bad. They wanted 499 for a new one but got an aftermarket one. I cleaned the old one first and I noticed a difference. When I got...

    Mpg for my 87

    So I got new wires and plugs put in except the back plug on the drivers side. Its pretty tight in there. I tried getting it from the fender well as well with no luck. Had a check engine light after all the wires and plugs were changed. It was running like a tank, sounding like a real big...

    Mpg for my 87

    Is this fuel injected? If so I would think a good tune up may help a little but 454's stock are not known for their mileage with out some changes YES this is tbi injected. I will be doing a tune up real soon. I would love to put the 700r4 behind but the cost up front I can't come up with.

    Truck won't run Fuse blows

    I happened to find the short in the drivers door. There happened to be a kill switch or fuel cut off switch hiddend behind the carpeted part of the upper door panel. The wiring was exposed to the metal in the door so I guess when I hit a bump or moved the truck it would short out. Last two...

    Truck won't run Fuse blows

    I keep blowing the ecm b fuse. Its an 87 suburban 454 fuel injected. Its seems ths fuse supplies the fuel to keep it running. When the fuse blows everything else works it just quits running, first while turning right only and now I cant go more than 10-20 feet before it blows. Fuel pump bad...

    Engine swap info!!

    I believe its a 5 wire hook up if you use a stand alone pcm. Not 100% sure. I think that several companys also make the motor mounts for the ls series engines as well as transmission cross members. There is a lot of info out there.

    Cruise Control

    GonicGM said: The dome lamps are typically wired with an orange and white conductor. The orange is constant 12v battery power. Switching by jamb switch or headlight switch is via ground, white wires. Sounds like you have a white wire shorting to ground. I'd first check drivers side. Pull sill...

    Cruise Control

    Dome lamp: Is your headlight switch turned completely counterclockwise so they stay on constantly? Does your buzzer stay on with key in ignition, key off, doors closed. Door jamb switch(es) out of adjustment? The dome lamp stays on no matter what, dimmer switch turned to the on/off...

    Cruise Control

    I have 87 sub 3/4 ton. My cruise control stopped working and my dome lights stay on the whole time so I had to remove the bulbs. Anybody think it might just be a fuse issue? I don't think its jamb switch for the lights becasue the idiot alarm still works with the keys in the ignition with the...
