1995 Chevrolet Blazer LS review from North America

"Blazers are the illist trucks around; blow Explorers away"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Basically I ran into no problems; the only thing was the rear driver window stopped working. I tapped the motor with a big wrench and it worked.

Yhe truck was given to me from a friend for free and had a few minor problems.

OK, it was given to me with:

Driver window didn't work (same as rear, had to hit it a little more and a lot harder).

Blinkers didn't work; changed the relay inside the dash.

Rear window motor is stripped; just grinds when turned on.

Windshield sprayers didn't work (hose was disconnected).

O2 sensor.

Front hubs don't engage when 4x4 is switched in. Everything else works fine (I believe it is a vacuum leak because they engage with a vacuum diaphram)

And has a high idle; I have no clue why, but it idles at 2,000 rpm after reaching operating temperature. I'm still in the process of discovery.

And the handle in the driver's seat to tilt the back broke off; I adjust it with a vise grip.

General comments?

Blazers are amazing trucks.

My mom has a 98 Jimmy (identical to a Blazer) and it runs like a top with 160000 miles.

My dad has a 93 Blazer, and I'll tell you what, that truck is a trooper, teetering on the edge of 300000 miles. It's at 295000 now, and just won't die. The tranny was replaced like 8000 miles ago; it was slipping really bad in o/d, but otherwise it was mint.

The engine was replaced due to operator error; ie falling asleep with your foot on the gas will do it in well, but the original ran mint at 200,000, and the replacement is running mint with almost 100k on it.

The truck is a rocket ship.

It is comfortable.

And fun to drive; it handles like no other.

The only thing is that the trucks with the rear drum stop for crap, and the self adjusters don't self adjust.

And it's a small tank in 4 low.
