Hello all,
I have been on this site for quite some time and have found it very helpful for locating part numbers and guides but it becomes very time consuming digging through forums. I am creating this thread to hopefully get valuable feedback and advice, while tracking my own trucks progress. I am currently in college and have been daily driving my blazer and wish not for a full restore, but to keep up on the vehicle for as long as possible. Below is what I have for a requires attention list:

Please feel free to recommend any other common problems I should be watching out for!
Thanks

I am creating this thread to hopefully get valuable feedback and advice, while tracking my own trucks progress. I am currently in college and have been daily driving my blazer and wish not for a full restore, but to keep up on the vehicle for as long as possible. Below is what I have for a requires attention list:
Electrical :
Batteriesbattery tie downs (not the 6TL batteries)- battery connectors and misc disconnected wires
- Random voltage drops/surges
- Power drain while driving at higher speeds
- Coolant dummy light intermittent flashing (coolant is always full)
Front marker light (turn signal constantly lit)- Heater switch not always functioning
- Need glow plug control switch
- Harmonic Balancer (Seen a lot on this one needing preemptive maintenance)
- Leaking 4x4 Lockouts
- Brakes (literally everything needs a refresh)
- Differentials
- Reseal rear cover
- Obtain a serviceable cover for front
- Steering links & ball joints
- New shocks (maybe springs?)
- Trans & Oil seals
- It's Michigan, who cares?
Please feel free to recommend any other common problems I should be watching out for!
Thanks
