This is safety problem with all 91& 92 (and possibly more) s-10 blazers - I have tried many 91 & 92 anytime I saw someone with one - I took quite awhile before I realized it - when making a "panic stop" as in quickly pushing down the brake pedal - it fights back for about 1 second - this doesnt sound like much but - if a child runs out between parked cars - every second counts - I have tried other gm vehicles and this problem does not exsist - only on s-10 blazers - the dealer said it was normal with dual action brake boosters when I showed them years ago (I have just recently become aware of your service).
