1995 Chevrolet Blazer LS review from Norway
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The front suspension squeaks. Have tried to give it some grease, but now the sound is back again.
Once in a while, the engine goes crazy. It revs without me touching the pedal, and stalls when the rpm gets too low.
I've tried to give it a fuel treatment (standard gas station product, and then the problems disappears for maybe a couple of months. Could it be the ERG valve?
Other than these problems, the truck seems OK. No other known problems.
General comments?
Nice mid-size SUV with good winter-driving manors and OK design (for a 95.)
We have almost 7 months of winter here in Norway, so it's almost a public need to have a 4x4 ;) The good thing with the Blazer, is that although it is really not a terrain vehicle. its ground clearance is actually very good. That is a good thing when the snow plows are a bit late here!
