Need some help with dad's leaky blazer

that is a heater flow control valve. when the control in dash is not on heat it turns off the flow to the heater core.
you need a new one.
if you cant find one. plug off the vac line to the unit and install 2 new hoses stright to the heater core or 2 hose couplers.

ya, my moms 98 burb did the samething...i got a new one at my local chevy dealership...i think it was around $30? im not sure though. and it took about 10 mins to replace too.
In the U.S. there is no 97 full size blazer, just the wimpy s-10 blazer. Its called the Tahoe in the U.S. that is probably why he said "mexican" version.

Thats exactly it, a full size blazer, 2 door.
DO i need to drain the engine of antifreeze or can i just change the valve without making a mess

You don't need to drain the antifreeze out of the engine. No matter what you do, you will still make a little mess.

Thanks guys, went to the chevy dealer got it for $35 bucks.
Wrong. Chevy made the 2 door Tahoe K1500 until 1999. GMC made the 2 door Yukon K1500 until 1997. Both were available in the US market from any US dealer just like anything else.
I agree, and they were called yukon and tahoe, Not blazer. I had a 96 2door w/ barn doors and leather seats.

Actual Blazer...got pics? Just like to see it. What do the decals and name plates look like?
How'd he register it there? When I lived in San Diego I saw plenty of Chevy LUV's and 2 door 94+ Dodge Ram Chargers but never any with American plates on them. Even the new/old VW Bugs. Thing was the word was you couldn't register them here in the States because they didn't meet our smog/crash standards.

my tahoe was made in mexico and badged as a Tahoe for the U.S. I know the mexican versions are called blazers. That is what i was trying to get at. Hijack: off
