I have owned a 95 Blazer LT as my second vehicle for five years now. It's a beautiful vehicle, and very comfortable. The only problem is that the looks don't match the quality. The problems started within one month of buying it, and continue to this day. The problems are everything from coolant leaks, oil leaks, failed alternator, failed starter, E.G.R. valve sticking, Spark plug wire failure, rear wiper motor failure, front wiper motor failure, 4WD failure, front wheel bearing failure and front wheel speed sensor cable failure. These are just a few of the problems. I'm 27 years old my first vehicle was an import, and the rest of the vehicles I buy in my life time will also be imports. Buying this Chevy blazer is on the top of the list of my biggest mistakes.
I own a 1995 4x4 gmc sonoma and a 2003 blazer with cooler lines leaking and I am not surprised to hear problems, but on the other hand maybe people with 4.3 engines should lift their hoods every now and again and inspect problems before they have to dish out money.
I bought my 1995 chevrolet blazer one year ago to date. It is a 4X4, with the 4.3 Ltr, LT model. I run fully synthetic oil (mobile one). The only problem I have had is my injector went bad, I replaced it myself, about $500.00 (The cost of the GM part). I could have purchased another brand, it would have cost $250.00. The Blazer had 97,000 miles when I bought it. It has 144,789 on it now and I have never had any of the problems that all these comments have said. If you just check your engine and car on a reg. basis you shouldn't have these kind of problems. At least you can catch any MAJOR problems before they happen and it will a cost a lot less.

Hi!
I have a 1995 Chev Blazer S series with 4.3 vortex and my oil cooler lines blew off at the crimp. Cost me my engine. When talking to GM Customer Service they said you have to expect things to happen to an older vehicle. They claim they have no problems with these hoses. I am trying to find-out how many owners are having this problem. Hope you can help.
Hello
I have also had a lot of the problems that everyone else
is having. Since last July I have replaced the fuel pump
and sending unit, EGR valve, fuel pump relay, and last and
not least, the engine. The oil cooler lines broke and by
the time I could pull over, it was too late.
The problem that I am having now is blowing fuel pump
relays. Sounds stupid, but I keep an extra one on hand
just in case. If someone is having the same problem and
knows how to fix it please e mail me.
Thanks,
Dave

Just had to put my two cents in on this subject my family is all for chevy my dad drives a 2000 lumina my uncle has a 95 suburban are work truck is a 95 silvarado extended cab and I drive a 94 chevy blazer and we have not had any problems with the oil cooler line bursting, but on the blazer the suburban and the truck the oil cooler line leaks If any one knows where I can pick an oil cooler line up for cheap I would appreciate it.
But one thing to remember it is only a rubber hose and that hose has 60#s of pressure running through it all the time and it goes from hot to cold and they do get weather cracked and beaten on so Don't dump Chevy because of one small thing they need to get worked out.
HI...NAME FRAK FROM N.Y.C..1995 S10 BLAZER WITH THE 4.3 MOTOR. I JUST HAD MY OIL SERVICE TODAY... AND JUST WHEN I PULL OUT OF THE QUICK LUBE PLACE MY OIL LINES BURSTED...I WAS A LUCKY ONE MY MOTOR IS OK!! THINK GM INFORM THE PUBLIC OF THE BAD OIL LINES AND THE DANGER OF THE OIL LINES. $100 TOW FEE!!!BACK HOME PLUS OIL CHANGE MONEY DOWN THE DRAIN...: (
I bought a 95 blazer a year ago, it had a bad oil leak I thought I found the problem, the bottom oil coolier line was leaking so I replaced it. WRONG it was the top one. Not known this. I thought I fixed it. a few months ago I was driven home from work, oil presure dropped to zero, no where to pull off the road because of the snow, I thought I could make it home. WRONG. The engine locked up. Here it turned out it was the top line. Needing a 4x4 for winter and all the new parts I've put on it. I bought another 95. think I could salvage all the parts off the other one. Big mistake. A week after I bought it, samething happened the bottom hose blew apart. lucky enough I saved this one. After I got it towed home. I replaced both lines. So far so good. I've been looking for a engine for the one I locked up. No luck yet. All the salvage yards tell me it has to be out of a 95 and nothing else. Bill from pennsylvania.
Recently purchased used 1995 Chevy Blazer 4x4 110,000k. Mechanic informed me oil cooler lines leaking. Suggested I fix this immediately. Anybody with any experience bypassing the cooler lines and running like an ordinary engine?
Hello having problems with a 1995 blazer wants to start, but dosent. does anyone have any suggestions for me, thank you.
I previously owned a 2000 ZR2 Blazer where the oil cooler lines leaked, fuel injectors were constantly clogging, and couldn't tow a trailer worth a crap! I turned that one in to get a new one, 2002 ZR2 Blazer. I just had it out of the shop for replacement of a power window motor and outer seals on both doors. The ABS telltale came on just other day... I took it in they couldn't find a problem with it... I took it in again (now with the Service Engine Soon light on) and they found a problem with an electrical connector by the battery. I drove it off the lot and it staled and was running like crap... so I took it right back in. I was using a K&N air filter in it and they told me that the oil on the air filter caused the mass air flow sensor to go bad and that the repairs are NOT going to be covered under warranty! That is $300 down the tubes! I am looking into a lawsuit regarding this matter. Refer to the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975 regarding this matter.

Hey I just purchase a 1995 chevy blazer in January of this
year and had it for 6 months and while traveling on the road
my truck started running hot and I had to have it tolled from
Arksanas to Missouri. Took it to the shop and they are telling me that I need a new engine in it. it has about a 11000.00 miles on it and it hard for me to find a engine. I am wondering if their is a default in these engine in these 1995 blazer chevy 4x4 truck. Is their anybody out their that can give me some information that will help me. beside all this that is gone wrong Iam still paying on this truck.
Hi.
I own (and now wish I did not) a 1995 Chevy Blaxer 4.3
I bought it last year. Since then I have had to replace the transmission (rebuilt $2200.) torc converter ($300.) CV joints (100. each) oil lines coming out of the filter ($54.) and now the fuel pump along with the sending unit is currently being fixed and of course it is only a dealer part. ($380.) All of this plus the cost of labor!!! I will never buy this car again and belive me the dealer knows it. By the way nothing is covered under the warranty!!!
