1995 Chevrolet Blazer T10 4wd from North America - Comments

Blazer had about 80,000 when bought. Replaced alternator and water pump myself. Replaced the octopus fuel regulator/injector myself. Plastic type housing over air conditioning items in engine compartment has broken off in various pieces. Replaced brake pads myself. Found all engine freeze plugs corroded had garage replace a couple. Had the oil line blow just as I turned off the engine - think the garage damaged it when doing an oil change since the hose and metal coupler adapter separated and it's real easy to hit that connection when trying to get the oil filter off. Think the O2 sensor needs replacing.

I like the blazer. It's easy to work on and parts are readily available. The 4 wheel drive works beautifully whenever I kick it in during the snow season.

I added a pair additional backup lights which I mounted to the tow bar and tied into the backup light circuit. I'd like to add a separate wiring run from the battery for these lights to work via a relay.

I would like to boost its power some what, but that's not really necessary for my usual driving. Its got a little over 140,000 miles on it now.

I like folding down the rear seats and having all that luggage space.

I'm thinking of pulling out the standard radio w/ cd player and putting in a smaller Sony or Panasonic unit which would leave space to mount a 2 meter transciever in the dash.

I'm also looking at running a 12V DC line with standard 12V utility socket back to the tow bar area - probably the bumper/fender area near the trailer cable pass through. It would be switched and fused.

Only complaint is difficulty reading the error codes since the computer interface jack doesn't seem to match the manuals. The label in the engine compartment says OBD2 but the interface connector doesn't look like an obd2 connector.

I really do like this SUV.

The diagnostic plug is obd2. I had to run a few codes on my 95 Blazer and it was obd2.

Well, I have certainly had many problems with my 1995 Blazer. I bought it at what I thought was a reasonable price of $1,400 but have put at least $4,000 more into it. I should have known better than to buy any vehicle over 10 years old and with over 100,000 miles on it. It does have power and got me through the usual bad winter where I live. That 4 wheel drive saved me a few times. The " SERVICE ENGINE SOON " light is on again. It happened just after I filled up. Perhaps there is a leak somewhere, it is an old car. I am used to this crap, but very tired of dealing with it. I think that the next time I buy any car I will spend the money up front in hopes of getting a good one. Whatever,...Oscar.
