Is this blazer a 4x4?
If it is you might want to check for slack in the chain inside the transfer case.
A broken tranny mount can also cause some of the noises that you are hearing.

Check the splines on the rear ds slip yoke to see if they need to be lubed (common problem). I would also suspect u-joints before a bad chain in the transfer case.
