1994 Chevrolet Blazer S10 review from North America

Fuel pump quit shortly after purchase.

Wire used for defrosting window broke (twice). I've left it broken.

EGR valve got clogged.

Handle to recline driver's seat came off.

I purchased a 1994 S10 Blazer 4x4 in Spring 1999 to tow my 16 foot Boat (with a 70 HP outboard). I bought the truck with 84,000 km. It now has 121,000 km. It has done a splendid job of towing the boat. As others have mentioned, it has tons of power. It also has good traction in 4 wheel drive mode. I have not had any of the problems others have mentioned. I have had 2 problems, the wire to the rear window that is used for defrosting the window has broken twice. It's a very poor design, the wire kinks where it joins the connector on the window. Only a matter of time before it breaks. My other problem was with the fuel pump. It quit and was replaced at a cost of $500. Oh yes, once the EGR valve got something stuck in it and had to be cleared out by hooking the truck up to the computer at the dealer. This was only $50. I think the drive train is solid, but concur the build quality/finish is not the best. There are many rattles and clunks (drive train slack). Also it tends to surge a bit under load. I have sold the boat and am thinking of selling the truck, but would lose a lot because of the depreciation over the last 3.5 years. May just hang onto it long term. The most annoying thing about the truck is that half the time when you put on the turn signal you rotate the knob on the lever ever so slightly causing the windshield wipers to come on. The wiper should be on a separate lever, not combined with the Cruise control, turn signal and windshield washer!
