I have a 2000 Blazer 4X4. It's a damn good truck with the 4.3L 230k miles still going strong. Whenever the motor goes, I'll 350 swap it

[@BanishedToEarth]

Gotta 1993 S10 Blazer 4wd Tahoe LT 4dr. 4.3 Vortec W vin. Automatic.. push button 4WD.. Best rig I've ever owned. 185000 miles and going strong. Had to replace the fuel pump and drop the damn tank to do it, but way worth the effort. Parts are cheap and easy to do maintenance on. Solid rig. Mines the 4 door, but really love the 2 doors. 4 door is more solid off roading, the 2 doors bounce a bit, but can never go wrong with these!

I got a 89 s10 blazer 4x4 485xxx km motor blew currently 350 swapping it. It’s got cranked keys on 15 inch stock rims with 31 inch tires. Two tone paint blue with silver. She’s super clean

[@guymanicone7921]

GM provides a jumper to the fuel pump. There is a brown wire with a female connector hanging on the firewall. You connect 12v to it and it will run the fuel pump. May have been a bit easier if the trucks fuel pump works.

[@BestDamnShopAround]

Good to know! Thank you!

[@damnitdang]

Where is that wire located? Lol

[@guymanicone7921]

@@damnitdang mine was right in the middle of the firewall. Very close to the connector on the firewall that has constant power.

Will it run? A hard NO!! Good effort👍🏻

[@BestDamnShopAround]

Thank you! With a good attitude even the ones that kick your butt can be fun!

[@carloscollomps1552]

I bought an '88 S-10 Blazer abandoned since 2000, had the keys but lost them, so i spent some time watching the Lock Picking Lawyer to figure out how to pick that thing. I spent one hour picking untill i was able to unlock it, try the starter, it turned over just right, then i forgot i had no keys and locked it again. Another hour of picking lol. Did not start, will try again someday. Oh and i found the keys.

[@BestDamnShopAround]

Sounds like my luck! Lol

[@jamesburchill7522]

Getting a motor to run isn't that hard. Most of the time it's all the ancillary crap that gets you.

[@ivansanchez8817]

So I have the same model and I'm struggling with the fuel pump not having power I replaced the fuel pump relay and nothing please continue the series

[@BestDamnShopAround]

Will do! Actually filming another episode today! Good luck with your fuel pump, try tracing power from the ECU back

[@gvet47]

Sorry but I had to laugh when you pointed out something tried to exit the engine by way of the oil pan.🤣

[@BestDamnShopAround]

Me too! 🤣
