80w-90
80 w90 gear oil front and rear!
I have a 2002 Blazer with the 4.3L engine and 3.73 differential gear ratio, it gives me 17 mpg on average.
Call a Chevy dealer and ask for parts dept. and give them the VIN# and ask them what the gear ratio is and they will tell you.
how much oil do i need and what kind
Depending on the differential gear ratio, anywhere from 17 to 19 mpg.
You have to open the differential and remove the retaining pin from the spider gear to remove the axle shaft.
The distributor drive gear would be part of the camshaft. The camshaft would have to be replaced.
If you are filling the rear differential, 3 and 1/2 pints should do it.
Will a 1997 blazer what work on a 1999 blazer????? If your talking engine, transmission, or running gear than yes. It is all the same.
The stock gear ratio for a 1995 Chevy Blazer is 3.73. This provides a good balance of fuel economy and power to the rear wheels.
Not a problem. The starter gear will take care of that. It is autoaligning when you turn the ignition switch.
