I have had numerous problems with my 96 all wheel drive Blazer. Rear main seal replaced - still leaks, dealer now says it's the intake manifold gasket and I can't find any evidence of oil around the manifold. The only place that I can see oil is on the very bottom of the bell housing near the drain plug.
Air conditioning compressor replaced, oil lines replaced, oxygen sensor apparently bad, the garage where I bought vehicle wants to replace all three. I have been told if only the bad one is replaced, it is common for the others to go shortly after, is this true?
I recently installed a cat back system to try to increase power. Could this affect the O2 sensors?
Clicking noise coming from speedometer.
Hinge pins replaced in drivers side door.
I bought this Blazer to replace a 98 3.8L Ford Windstar (mint condition) to improve towing and found no difference in power, I've regretted it ever since.
Did I mention the bad power mirror switch? $108. I'll be rolling down the window and using my thumb!
I have had almost identical issues with my 96 Blazer. I actually bought it from a guy who had the engine replaced twice within two weeks from the dealer for a leaking intake manifold gasket issue and related other issues. When I bought it I thought having a new engine was a good thing. What I didn't count on is the new engine having the same problems to old one had. The blazer is in the shop as we speak and will cost $1800 to repair including the intake manifold gasket which supposedly is leaking. I am also have the alternator replaced (for the second time in 10 months). What have I gotten myself into?
