1993 Chevy Blazer K1500 Restoration - Project 1500: Episode 1

[@mcmacr]

Nice blazer! I really like the full size trucks and SUV'S of that Era. I particularly like the interior of the 88 to 94. My friend had a blazer like yours but with the rare 6.5 diesel. option. Slow, but still neat!

4wd is the actuator. Easy fix. Unplug and unscrew old, screw in and plug in new. Minutes. These actuators operate thermally. Therefore, many do the electronic upgrade that came in later MY’s. When cold, the thermally actuated actuator may not work as intended. For example, snow stuck to actuator. In any rate, it can take a few secs to engage since it is a thermal driven engagement.

I miss my 94 s-10ss with 190hp vortec, 3.43 posi, bilstein shocks, flat bed cover, roll pan bumper, painted front grill, SS trim package

Generally the 4WD issue is related to a vacuum modulator hidden under the battery tray. Enjoy your new Blazer! I'm also partial to the final run of the 2 door models!

[@rporestorations]

Me too. I was always partial to 2 door anything. And these use an electronically controlled transfer case. I'll be working on it 1 or 2 videos down the line.

[@a.taylor9270]

No… generally it’s the thermal actuator.

Hey I really love you new project I have one of my own I belive it's a 1993 and it's on these really cool rims and it has big bush bumpers so I'm really interested to see what you will do with yours min is very molested but yours is soo mint

[@rporestorations]

Thanks, Tyler. This truck is definitely not mint, though. And it's been messed with a lot. In future videos, I'll be undoing a lot if it.

I have a similar vehicle ‘93 4wd sport blazer 5.7. We have had it since ‘94 we were 2nd owners, it was my husband’s. I have the owner’s manual which makes no mention of air cabin filters..did this year not have them? My husband always did all the maintenance, and he passed away. Appreciate answers if anyone knows.

[@rporestorations]

This year did not have any time of cabin air filter. They didn't really fall into mainstream use on American vehicles until the 2000's.
