I have 99 blazer, replaced the pump at 65,000, and radaitor at 57,000, next thing will go is the oil lines.. I replaced my pump in a few hours, just get a good manaul at the library, motor or a chilton, or if your lucky, actaul gm shop manual.. In the future will have a replace the oil lines, front hub bearings, and multifunction switch on steering column.. by this time you will be a mechanic, like me.. Good luck, and the weep hole leaks, new pump..

P.S. If it is 4x4, the encoder motor will go too, I have less than 80,000, and drive lightly.. Keeping my fingers cross, and avoid looking under the vehicle for oil leaking..
