Haven’t done one on a 94ish vehicle, did one on dad’s old 1988 truck and it was simple, there was an access panel under the passenger side dash to remove it, remove the two heater hoses under the hood and you’re done. A 94 might be different but if I remember right the dashes are basically the same so hopefully it’s an easy job.

Do you hear it inside or outside the vehicle? Almost sounds like a stub shaft seal in the steering gear. A lot of the GM’s do that, you can only hear it inside the car in the steering wheel area. If you can hear it outside the vehicle it could be a dry ball joint. Most newer vehicles do not have grease fittings in any of the front end components like the older vehicles which causes them to dry out and make some squeaking noises when turning.

Nothing even comes close to some of the things you other guys listed, wow! Found lots of dead and alive mice in all sorts of spots, a family of a momma mouse and 6 babies behind the air filter of a Uplander van, was setting a fuel trim code, no wonder, them and all the shit they had for a next along with it. Once they were removed the fuel trim problem went away.
Also have found them inside. Had a vehicle come in complaining about a smell and rumble when the blower motor was on high. Well Mr Mouse decided to have a nap in the blower motor until he succummed once the thing was turned on full blast and couldn’t escape in time. Looked and smelled like he was in there for quite some time. Nearly tossed my cookies from the smell of it, and it was like a 90 degree day.
I know there’s more but just can’t think of them off the top of my head right now.
I’m a tech in Ontario, by the looks of it this might be seperate from our certification renewal. I know it’s $120/year, but we may have to renew our licences every 3 years on top of that. I know, another stupid money grab from the government, but there’s not much we can do about it.

Too bad you’re not in Canada because there’s a special coverage on them. Very common problem. Check your plug on the resistor because a lot of times the connector will melt and you need to wire in a new harness pigtail along with the resistor.

If that’s all that’s wrong with the transmission it will not leave you stranded, the only thing you won’t have is the lock up the TCC provides, so the only sacrifice you have is fuel economy which the Blazer/Jimmy lacks of even with the TCC operating lol.

Agree with the comment above about the TCC slipping. Have seen this a few times with the 4L60E transmissions. Like stated it could be the clutch itself or sticking valves in the valve body. Could also be the TPS but from your symptoms it doesn’t sound that simple.
If you can find a stretch of road that is flat and then has an incline, staying at a steady speed, if it starts doing it a lot more on the incline as it puts more load on the TCC then it’s almost certain it’s in the torque converter itself.

We use Mitchell OnDemand too at work and I find it to be really good, it also has repair manuals on top of the labor time guides which is also handy when we need repair info for an off brand vehicle. It’d be a good investment to have and would pay itself off in the long run!
