[@chevelleguy8059]

The guy at the light did not know you were turning left. The fast blinking indicator means the front signal was not working.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Ummmm I was literally I. The left turn only lane, so that alone should let you know I am turning. I also just checked my signals and the front left works just fine.

[@jmccord0716]

Could also be the back indicator.

[@teeco5952]

Might have been drunk or wasn't paying attention

[@chevelleguy8059]

@@jmccord0716 On mine the front light out inside indicator blinks fast, when the rear is out it doesn't blink and just stays on.

[@chevelleguy8059]

@@AutoAuctionRebuilds In the video before you pressed the dome override button the indicator was blinking fast. After when you were at the house it was normal. I will have to check mine to see if it does the same or if it is something electrical causing yours to do that. My truck just turns the Dome light off when you open the doors.

[@Ford_Guys_Videos]

That blazer is going to be a excellent vehicle for someone who really needs a vehicle, and the Blazer will run for anyone.

[@jmccord0716]

Had a 2001 that I got for free put a lil money into it and drove it! It got my mother down the side of a mountain behind a bulldozer during the 2018 Camp Fire in Paradise CA I'd probably still have it if insurance hadn't totaled it since the fire melted all the exterior plastics.

[@neilforrest2677]

It has great tires. Clean it up and detail, sell it. Make your company sticker on the back window only in the corner. Don't over do it.

[@AVC-Works]

Exactly this :)

[@rgbigdog]

Years ago there was a kit that you could buy that would convert a two door two wheel drive S10 Blazer into a hot rod coupe. It looked 50's retro and it was really a cool looking car.

[@michaelhuey4187]

Randy, really good interior detail, engine bay detail, paint correction and sealant/polish, then send it off to auction. Little 💲 in it and a chance of a profit. Don’t overdo it👍

[@drewbenefield2001]

That’s a great idea AAR Blazer! I look forward to the next video! I hope all is well!

[@JakesTrucking]

Hi Randy! Love your channel! Keep up the great work. To unlock the rear window hatch on the blazer. You have to use the ignition key to unlock it. Take the key out. Once it’s unlocked you push the button on the tailgate then the rear window should pop open. Nice ride! I owned one. Now I drive a 2000 Chevrolet Tahoe Z71 4x4 with only 38,000+ miles. Bought it as my graduation gift back in 2000 OBS Good luck! Safe travels!

[@ritapadilla4094]

Great Chevy Blazer I like it glad it works great and drives good have a great day Randy

[@matthewmallett]

I’m a firefighter and we use to have a few of those gmc as chief vehicles and they were excellent vehicles We had a call in the winter time and somebody lost control and smashed the front end of the gmc and it still started up and the chief ended up driving it back home can’t wait to see what you do this blazer much love brother from upstate New York

[@ronlynch7744]

Only explanation is Randy is an car / truck whisperer & works overtime. 😎👍🇨🇦

[@BradleyBoardwine]

I have a 2000 blazer 4 door 4wd I bought 5 1/2 years ago for $1,000 at a public auction. I love that truck. It breaks a lot because I don’t drive it much but man every single time I go into it after any time of not driving it, it fires right up and drives. Sure my dash is cracked, I have a couple lights on the dash, and the steering is a little loose but man I love that little suv.

[@dworsak79]

Love your ideas with customizing the Blazer. Go for it!

[@williamrogers8109]

Have a 98 Jimmy. Basically the same vehicle. Was my work car for several years. Can't beat that Chevy V6.

[@williamrogers8109]

I see the same idiotic drivers are in your neck of the woods that are in mine.

[@scottdunn4506]

Someone took very good care of that blazer that engine is very healthy and runs strong

[@leebraddock8624]

If I'm not mistaken, that Blazer has the upgraded transmission and rear end too, that Blower I'm talking about for the Vortec 4.3 isn't that expensive and makes a ton of power, it would really exciting to see you do that to it!!

[@OldFarmAcresJoelK.]

if im not mistaken. v6s are known for head gasket failures

[@OldFarmAcresJoelK.]

@@stupadasso8961 So are 4.3 head gaskets too. A steering pump pulley requires a special tool to remove it before you remove bracket bolts.

[@michaelkohl5254]

The headlights are automatic they should come on as soon as you turned the key over button underneath the headlight switch you hit it three times turn the headlights off if you hit it again turn the headlights back on I had to Chevy S10 and a blazer just like that one they all did the same thing

[@daveebertz4206]

I had a 2001 2wd 2 door Blazer for a while, cool looking car / suv

[@dna59]

I had a 2003 2 door Blazer and absolutely loved that truck.

[@sonnyblazer5504]

Nice buy! Bet there's a signal light out cuz at the first light the dash showed too fast of a flash for that vehicle (seriously and with RESPECT!)

[@SaltyNationalist]

Personally, I wouldn't over do it with the decals.. Hood, No.. Back/side windows definitely.. Maybe even a smaller one on the tailgate window.. I just think it might be a bit overkill to put a huge one on the hood.. Tint: Yes.. Paint: Yes.. Can't wait to see the outcome..😁👍

[@aidanstell5720]

my 2001 has dome override a d the same switch it does have auto lamps just leave it in the off position and they will turn on automatically

[@lirr408]

The headlights are daytime running lights. They are programed to stay on for visibility.

[@notasolution]

You can turn them off though by pressing the dome light button that is under the headlight switch 2 full cycles in and out

[@luisinhoens90]

Today I learned you could still get crank windows on any Blazer made after 1997. Someone in college had a 95-97 set up this way but it was a 4x4

[@permanentvacation2406]

I have a 2000 2 door blazer with crank windows rolls up and down everytime

[@geraldsmith9540]

That’s a great SUV Randy, love the old school looking mag rims on it. Can’t wait to see what it looks like when it’s done 👍

[@tristanmundis3040]

Here’s what I like. You talk up the cars that are actually good and you don’t sugarcoat it! Perfection!

[@jmccord0716]

Also use the key to open the glass hatch there will be a handle to lower the bottom half on I believe the right side at top

[@edwardtc8129]

Got no problems with seeing wins on the channel, we are all here to support you Randy and long may the winning streak continue with lots more interesting cars

[@coreyverrett8117]

The tailgate is supposed to have a button on the dash next to the radio my buddy had a 99 Blazer 2 door I have an 01 S10 ext cab both have the 4.3

[@markturner2646]

Randy great deal but if the paint is as good as it looks don't mess it up with a inferior paint job cause you know your not going to get a paint job That's as good as the factory one. Great job love the blazer !!!!

[@jakestatefarm9456]

Old school two tone the paint job. Ford blue jeans blue on top and bottom with silver/gray in the middle. Then with white letter cooper cobra tires. Would look absolutely 🔥. Killin it lately. Keep up the great work!

[@haskellburks]

Hello Randy. You got a great SUV. The way to open the back door is you have to use the key

[@fearlessfly100]

Awesome buy......we used to have a few of those blazers.......all 4 door 4x4.......they were great vehicles.......have fun with it......it will be a great vehicle......😁

[@colbygavin834]

Randy I've worked with a few of these, if you hit the dome override button 5 times fast the headlights will shut off

[@MrMit50101]

I agree with every custom idea you have the sound the tint etc etc it's going to get 1000s of views and then will make a great car for someone young

[@FloridaBrad]

use the key to open the rear window (turn one way), once open then you turn the other way to drop the gate.

[@leejohnson2521]

Yes another great vid !!!! put some 12's in the back and get some led headlights will be a nice stealth auto auction rebuild company car . Great work Randy.

[@jdoubleu2813]

Been looking forward to this!

[@bradferkovich3571]

honestly Randy... just a decent paint job and kick it on down the road if your not going to use it as a daily for your company. I wouldnt put the tint on because if a tuber gets it in another state the state laws may have a fit with window tint. good content this vid,

[@markhowes5669]

Love the Blazer Randy, absolutely a good purchase 👌, keep it going with the fantastic content 👍

[@JoeManLARockinEmpire]

That's is A Great Idea Randy. Awesome video 👍👍

[@christophergalbraith5740]

hello randy. i have a blazer. they have auto headlights they turn on when you turn the key

[@KHLRofe09]

Use the key you need to turn the key to the left and keep it turned and use your other hand to pull on the glass handle. There is a button on the dash but it’s pretty weak by that if you press the release button and shut the drivers door I found the rear glass latch closes again.

[@djsonic6533]

A beautiful Blazer. They were very reliable and still see lots of them in the streets. I can't wait to see the video on the Lincoln.

[@paullevy561]

Two piece tail gate. Turn lock one way to open glass, other way to drop gate.

[@JustaShrimp372]

6:50 well at least you know if the horn works lol

[@walterg902]

That's a rare fleet 2005 blazer. All T10/S10 blazers made in 05 were for fleet only. You need to lower it. Tint, new paint, & a basic lowering with your company logos would be killer! Can't wait to see the out come.

[@damnitdave.]

This is the first video that I've seen randy pick up something after dark 🌙 I swear ur the best content maker you always find a way to bring us content even when ur busy I always watch ur videos all the way thru and I've never had a complaint about any of ur content it's always been a1 I've seen you talk about poor lighting and bad audio quality but it's always been great to me keep up the good work man and ur always on a roll because ur a good person man you deserve it because you interact and thank your fans you go thru the comments and like and communicate with ur fans and you never sell anyone a bad vehicle either you always talk about their issues and if you don't fix them atleast everyone knows what needs to be done ur a good dude randy

[@auctioncar]

I get allot cars from Manheim to But is clean cars

[@Senseless-vf3dp]

Put a big speaker box stereo system in the blazer for sure, good deal on the blazer just got to be careful on the transmission the OD likes to go out but that blazer seems to have been maintained very well.

[@henrynegessai3528]

Just a fact some of those gm vehicles have the lights on because its known as daytime running lights it just something they did with those gm vehicles nothing to worry about I have an Old chevy and it has that feature having the lights on which is known as day time running lights.

[@jakemcnatt9006]

Honestly go for it Randy we’re always happy for more content and it would just be interesting seeing you work on a blazer

[@notasolution]

Hey Randy, if you press the dome light button right under the headlight switch in and then let it come back out twice, the automatic headlights should shut off, little secret on the old chevys a lot of people don’t know

[@marcslafter5814]

the tail gate drops down and the window lifts up use the key

[@herrbela84]

Wow, that Town Car. Please do a video on it as detailed as you can. I love those old luxury sedans.

[@mclemus57]

Randy the way you open the gate is to use the key to pop open the glass then pull down the gate

[@leebraddock8624]

I had the S-10 with Vortec 4.3, mine was the SS with the 3.73 rear end and it had some good torque, then I added the blower that Chevy made for them, that little truck would haul the mail!! I'm telling you it was fun!! It would get sideways when it hit 2nd gear...

[@jmccord0716]

Randy I had a 2001 the headlights are automatic they have a sensor on the dash. And the highbeams stay on when running as daytime running lights. This feature can be disabled I have a video on my channel showing how to disable it.

[@imwithstupid9685]

You must use the key to open the tailgate in the blazer

[@MonkyPocks01]

Love these blazers!!

[@jamesclark9791]

I think if you turn the key to the left it unlocks the the glass and to the right it opens the gate It’s been a while since I had a blazer so I could be wrong

[@darkwing4475]

The 2WD blazer has very nice style lines,,, Still looks modern for an older car,,, :-)

[@MrFaTaL1996]

Hey you said maybe no video Friday, what a pleasant surprise waking up to one anyway. Love all the content !!

[@jaden2884]

To open the tailgate, you press a button inside you come out to that circular button press it pull the window up and then there’s a handle on the inside to pull the tailgate down

[@bernardhamilton2205]

I say go for it. Customize the Blazer with your preferred Logo, air it on the channel and then probably sell or keep it

[@clff888]

That is a really cool chevy blazer I can't wait to see it decked out and I am really looking forward to seeing footage on the lincoln :)

[@TruckEnthusiastYT]

I’m excited for this one. I have always loved the old Blazer and it kind of annoys me how Chevy turned it into a soccer mom car but oh well at least we have these

[@sybsygstgstsgysg5330]

Didn’t expect to see you here

[@manpan4693]

Bruh I see you everywhere even on Greenville vids

[@glennstiller7616]

Should probably replace the headlight switch. Obvious short that may cause more problems soon. Could even cause a parasitic draw on the battery.

[@notasolution]

It’s not a short they’re automatic and most of the time, if they do stay on it’s a bad photocell in these, not a switch. If you turn the automatic function off the switch will function just how it should

[@SH-di8im]

Glad you bought the blazer Because I like GM vehicles

[@pauloford6948]

I have a suggestion for the color of the blazer what do you think of black with golden details. here in brazil there is a blazer that was very successful, pity it is not the same model.

[@jimmcdonald9467]

i have a 97 blazer 4x4 i like it. those blazers are tanks

[@ryandaniel9745]

"similar situation as you" issues i experienced with these, is the front end components, including the gearbox, tierod and steering linkage, won one at auction for around 600 like 900 after fees, concerns I had was the harness loosing connections with sensors and coil packs because of "harness deterioration" wires inside were dust, but other wise was running solid after fix, enjoyed it had like 135k miles for a 97. sold fast

[@mikepriceup]

Welcome to Randy's diamond in the ruff blazer addition volume 1 great find buddy! AAR needs a rolling billboard. Great idea!

[@TurkeyEyes6690]

This is good deal for 2 door i miss my 95 blazer 4.3 starting knocking crazy after hot rodding it to much

[@georgecowe4608]

I believe u put the key in the back turn left for window to pop and right for hatch to open

That is exactly what I'm looking for! I have a 1966 283 small block that I had built 15yrs ago and it has all the performance parts that is to many to list. Anyway I want to small block another s10 or blazer and that one is perfect. Don't care about how its runs of course because the motor is coming out. I would really love to work something out and this is very serious????

[@Undeadmafiagamimg]

It’s a two peace tailgate randy you need to pop the top glass then put the tailgate down

[@postersm7141]

2005 Chevy blazer absolutely has automatic headlights. Just look for the big oval black looking eye on the dashboard up towards the base of the windshield. And sometimes if there is an envelope or a CD case or something covering it then it can’t see daylight and your lights will be on continuously

[@brettjeffries7322]

I watched this entire video Randy truly interested in buying this one ! Only wish it was the Xtreme model ? And talk about Dissappoiment since you NEVER opened up the back ?? Just clean it and send it back to IAA ! but to be honest paint it like a Lime Green ? If you want it painted ?

[@edud8452]

Do they ever damage the bottom of the cars when they load it with that forklift?

@@lesclarke8064 You do not give a vehicle to somebody that can't afford the upkeep registration or insurance. That is a recipe for disaster.

[@CR7659]

Those plastic window crank handles are terrible, I had them in one of my 02 vans. Knob always comes off. You can put the old metal ones right on there and solve that problem, I sell used ones for $5 a pair but I think you can buy repro ones from the "Help!" line right in your auto parts store.

I believe the u push in the key lock and it pops the hatch the the handle for tailgate is inside

[@southshorecollectibles]

Put the keys on the tailgate turn right to open window and a drop handle inside the panel will drop the rest

[@dcpoolsvc]

That Blazer is a definite score for the money. I hope I can be as fortunate in the coming weeks as I’m needing a gas saver thanks to rising prices….

Nine Inch Nails, great band for rock and roll to distort your mind-------lol !!!! That person who made a right hand turn in front of you, no matter what, that person knew you were in the left hand turning lane and that person had the red light still. Our street lights are like that. RANDY, if you were selling the cars you buy where I live, you'd have people knocking on your door wanting to know when can they buy a certain vehicle.
