1998 Chevrolet Blazer LS review from North America
"The perfect vehicle."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The right rear window switch didn't work.
Transfer case bearing started to make noise after acceleration.
Right side headlight, blinker and grille destroyed by two deer in a month.
Replaced the stock AM/FM cd player with a JVC cd player with an amp and subs.
Replaced the front brake pads.
Replaced rear window wiper motor.
General comments?
It was my all time favorite vehicle, I really regret getting rid of it. I hauled vehicles with it and still got 14mpg! I usually got 18-21 without hauling anything. I had it customized to my likings with a mesh grille my friend and I made and installed. I yanked the stock cd player and through in a JVC cd player and an amp and subs to kick it up a bit.
I bought new tires for it a few months after buying it. I replaced the brake pads and changed the oil and stuff like that, kept it in keen running condition, it was my pride and joy. I also had to replace the rear wiper motor, I guess the wet snow of MN was too much for that little thing. I loved this truck and highly recommend getting one, they are the perfect vehicle in my eye. Thanks for reading.
