1989 Chevrolet Blazer S-10 Tahoe 2 Door review from North America
"Alright little truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
First let me say the whole time I've owned this truck I've only put 29 miles on it& it has sat for more than a year before I purchased it.
About the 2nd or so day I had it the fuel filter clogged& the Spark Plugs fouled
The Spark Plugs keep fouling
Headliner sagging (does Chevy still replace them now?)
Rear window falls on you
Rear tire carrier is a little tricky to hook onto the tailgate
All the rear windows leak (where can I get the gaskets?)
Possible blown Head-Gasket
Possible oil-leaks
Transmission doesn't want to go into overdrive all the time
Front bumper is bent from when I rescued an H2
Right rear quarter panel might be loose
Makes black smoke or clouds of white smoke, kind of depends on what day of the week it is.
General comments?
My previous car was a Grand Wagoneer which was comfortable w/leather so I'm not use to the 'downgraded' feeling.
Accelerates great, first time I had it wide open I was surprised.
No major rust just (I'm in the rust-belt)
Mostly garage kept.
I haven't had the time to fully test the 4wd, but it works.
Ice cold a/c.
I have the sliding windows in the rear so it makes loading stuff easier.
I like the way it looks.
I'll post more stuff in the comments section when I drive it a little bit more, can't wait!
