Re: What a pain in the keister: Here is a test for you!
Serpentine belt slipping. *Would give problems starting. *At low rpm engine would run rough and/or stall from low voltage. *At higher rpm the alternator output increases. *Charging system failure will not trigger SES light. $30 bucks for a tensioner and $30 bucks for the tools to change it! That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!
Rlith, You're asking us to diagnose a problem bypassing the first and most important step in diagnosis, "A good visual inspection".

Bad Battery. You didn't say whether you had to Jump it. Alternators are $125, Fuel Pumps $100, Fuel filters $25, PCV Valve $5, About the only thing left is the Battery for $60. It was bad due to low water.

Re: What a pain in the keister: Here is a test for you!
I would say a fuse/relay problem, more specifically the fuel pump system.
I agree with old master, a good visual inspection would help.

Rlith, You're asking us to diagnose a problem bypassing the first and most important step in diagnosis, "A good visual inspection". |
When it happened I did do a visual inspection of everything, no probs showing... Just the symptoms... Took me a few mins of wracking my brains through my mental diagnostic flow charts.. Belt is fairly new, tensioner is less than a year old...(My god the amount of stuff I've replaced on this truck, heh) I'll post the soultion at lunch time

You have to keep in mind that this is your truck that we're talking about. You know it better than anyone, you know the weak spots and issues that it has.
Maybe an exhaust leak? While sitting still the exhaust vapor built up under the hood, robbing the engine of O2, causing it to choke out and die.
Just another guess. After driving a while, you realized that you were actually driving someone else's Blazer that looked just like yours. When you returned to give the Blazer back, and get your Blazer, the police were there and gave you a $60 ticket for joyriding. You got in your Blazer and it still ran fine. Problem solved.

Re: What a pain in the keister: Here is a test for you!
Actually blazee that's come close to happening to me on more than one occasion.... I have come out of someplace and because I tend to walk with my head down, all I see is a teal blazer/jimmy and my brain is on auto pilot... I sit there for a moment going "What the hell, my keyless isn't working) And try to use my key... After about 10 seconds I realize, shit, it's not my truck!!! My truck is over there! And I feel like an idiot and hope to hell that the owner didn't see me trying to get in "their" truck...
