"A solid truck with reliable and powerful engine. Practical."

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Fuel pump quit shortly after purchase.

Wire used for defrosting window broke (twice). I've left it broken.

EGR valve got clogged.

Handle to recline driver's seat came off.

General comments?

I purchased a 1994 S10 Blazer 4x4 in Spring 1999 to tow my 16 foot Boat (with a 70 HP outboard). I bought the truck with 84,000 km. It now has 121,000 km. It has done a splendid job of towing the boat. As others have mentioned, it has tons of power. It also has good traction in 4 wheel drive mode. I have not had any of the problems others have mentioned. I have had 2 problems, the wire to the rear window that is used for defrosting the window has broken twice. It's a very poor design, the wire kinks where it joins the connector on the window. Only a matter of time before it breaks. My other problem was with the fuel pump. It quit and was replaced at a cost of $500. Oh yes, once the EGR valve got something stuck in it and had to be cleared out by hooking the truck up to the computer at the dealer. This was only $50. I think the drive train is solid, but concur the build quality/finish is not the best. There are many rattles and clunks (drive train slack). Also it tends to surge a bit under load. I have sold the boat and am thinking of selling the truck, but would lose a lot because of the depreciation over the last 3.5 years. May just hang onto it long term. The most annoying thing about the truck is that half the time when you put on the turn signal you rotate the knob on the lever ever so slightly causing the windshield wipers to come on. The wiper should be on a separate lever, not combined with the Cruise control, turn signal and windshield washer!

I'm 16 and have a 1994 chevy blazer, this thing is HARDCORE...it's a standard transmition 4.0 v6 and packs a huge punch in the mud. Everything is stock and runs great with 173k miles. If you need to go through deep mud, slap it in 4 low in this thing will get you where you want to go.

Just purchased a 1994 chevy 4x4 4 door blazer a week ago it has 119000 miles on it I gave 3200 for it. haven't tried the 4x4 out in any real mud yet. however checked the gas mileage on the first tank of gas. 13.7 gals on 291 miles came out to 21.24 mpg in mixed city and country driving. everything seems solid on body. except for the rear tailgate is a little squeaky. the engine runs like new and I'm actually impressed no leaks and drives great for the mileage that's on it. I would recommend this vechicle to my friends.. travis.
