The number one cause of intermitted gauge failure, acompanied by a no start is the ignition switch. The switch is a known issue with the second generation s/t series vehicles, and of those years 1997 was by far the worst. From my experience troubleshooting them, nearly 90% of 1997 Blazers, Bravadas, Jimmys, S10s, and Sonomas have needed an ignition switch replacement for various reasons. The switch can cause issues with anything routed through it, another one of the more common problems that can be caused by the switch is erractic/intermitted transmission shift problems. I will attach a link to the replacement procedure. Look for "Ignition Switch Replacement" in the links to the right.

Just installed a new alternator and belt on 1999 blazer - the new alternator is very hot your husband has leather hands and says it very hot Everything is grounded properly?
is your battery Low or poor?? Charge your battery on slow charge for 8hrs to give it a good deep charge, Installing an alternator on a low or dead battery will ruin it and also not charge your battery properly.. An alternator is not a battery charger its a battery maintainer!!

Why might replacement alternators on a 1995 Chevy Blazer keep quitting?
You could have killed some or all the cells in the battery. You need to replace both battery and alternator at the same time. I had the same problem. After I replaced both I've had no more problems. Take battery and alternator to auto Zone or Advanced Auto so they can test them. Buy new battery and alternator if needed. Fly wheel (Not sure what it is really called) where starter goes could be bad causing starters to wear out.

Why would a 1999 Chevrolet S10 Blazer dash gauges and dash lights go nuts and engine run badly?
Had the same problem on two occasions with my 99 Blazer...sounds as though your alternator is going bad. The car will run good while the battery is charged up, but as the battery wears down, the engine will run poorly and the gauges will operate erratically. Eventually, the battery will not have enough energy to allow the engine to run, and it will stall.
