1996 Chevrolet S-10 Blazer review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
4 wheel drive computer - warranty.
Idler arm, ball joints, alignment / electronic wiper motor control, fuel pump, internal coolant leak, alternator, brake booster, upholstery - warranty.
Rear axle seal and brake shoes - warranty.
Oil lines re-engineered by me - 99.00.
Alignment by me cause the dealer did it wrong - 0.00.
Multiple sets of disc brake pads - 49.00.
Plastic timing cover and seal - 49.00.
Belt tensioner and water pumps - 159.00.

This vehicle was built during a strike at the New Jersey plant and it shows it. Now I need a CV boot, front differential bushing and the tools to install. No more US made for me -- All Japanese from here on out.
