We share the same love of the true mini trucks. 12 years ago I was driving a Blazer ZR2. One of the most fun vehicles I owned.
Back in highschool, when I started driving I had wanted one of the S10 pickups...
Oh. My. Goodness.
There is no shortage of LSx swap parts for an S10. Run whatever trans you want. Whatever rear you want, whatever suspension you want. Those trucks were like belly buttons-everybody had one..
Just read it. Does anybody else know that the 80s and 90s chevy's are prone to electrical issues? I remember reading it somewhere and i remembered it after I heard you have electrical issues. 1. if your doorlights are always on, have you tried turning them off manually? if you have, some cars actually have a fuse for the dome lights and stuff like that, so just pull that. You might not have any interior lights, but its better than waking up to a dead battery. 2. if your check engine light is not working, that's most likely a tell tale sign that that bulb has been HEAVILY used (if you catch my drift). Or I could be wrong and you could just have another wiring issue. You said it doesn't drive good? one of the reasons why would probably not run well is because of the airbox. Did they take just the box or the box and the intake tube that leads to the throttle body? usually fuel injected cars have a mass airflow sensor, but that didn't come on a 95 blazer, that came out the next year. instead this one has a intake air temperature sensor (IAT). If the IAT sensor fails, it can cause drivability issues such as a rough idle, poor fuel economy, or hesitant acceleration. also I have the same electrical problems on my truck too! 2001 Toyota tundra Access Cab, 2wd, 4.7l V8. My interior dome lights don't work. If I mess with the cargolight button, the cargo light stays on, draining the battery. unlike your check engine light, mines always on! its been on for at least 12 years! its just an O2 sensor tho. I'm not paying $125 for that! also my rear window leaks. I had replaced it with a stationary window. we put 2 full tubes of that window caulk or whatever its called. And it still leaks! It might have structural damage. My point is, don't stress! these are all just tiny fixes. yeah it might be a lot, but who needs dome lights? As long as you can here the little ticking of the blinker you should be fine. if a turning signal is out, it will tick fast. Hope this helps!
My cargo light stays on when I turn it on! I finally got my engine light to turn on, and now it stays on. And, I can't read the codes because its some stupid setup where it uses an obd2 connector, but runs on obd1 software. I've tried everything, but nothing works. Plus, I think the guy we bought the car from gutted the cat, as it smells like sulfur and gas when idling, and is abnormally loud. My reading lights on the rear view mirror are disconnected, because when you plug them in, they stay on even when using the switches! And the top dome light, there isn't a bulb in there. And the light under the hood is disconnected too, because it doesn't shut off, but idk if it should or not.
The light under the hood turns on and off when you open and close it.
You know the littlr guy that lives in your fridge who turns the light on and off when you open the door???
Its that guy's cousin who turns the hood lights on.
You gotta leave milk and cookies once a year like for Santa or the guy will quit.I've tried it, and it doesn't shut off. The little guy must be sleeping or drinking on the job!
They are either stupid expensive, or stupid expensive lol

If ya don’t wanna shell out the cashola for doing proper diagnostic work, then you can also simply jump the terminals on your DLC, and count the flashes the MIL (malfunction indicator lamp) produces in the KOEO (key on, engine off) position.
Number one thing on the priority list for any used vehicle should be a Chiltons, or Haynes manual IMO. Absolutely invaluable. Either will walk you through jumping the terminals on the DLC.
I had a dropped 83' in black.
