Default My blazer is Junk

Well, I've burned $1,000 in parts on a 1992 S-10 4.3L vortec and it still won't run. I have never had a vehicle agravate me so badly. It must be the "W"vin.

Default RE: BLAZER = PIECE OF CRAP

So you buy a 15 year old vehicle and automatically condemn the lot... Good for you man! Kudos. What a waste.

I can understand your frustration, but is the language necessary? Throwing parts at a vehicle without first properly diagnosing the problem is a good way to **** yourself off even more.

You've created a number of threads on your troubles and most of those threads have garnered advice. Many of which you never responded as to the outcome of the checks that were suggested. Some of those threads which you didn't respond to the questions asked that would allow us to give you the appropriate advice. It is very hard for us to help someone that doesn't seem like they want to help themselves.

*EDIT* - Here is a thread that may help you formulate your posts in a way that will help get the most accurate advice in a short amount of time --> Guidelines for posting Mechanical Problem Threads

I bought a 21 year old Blazer, my first one ever so I was completely in the dark as to the tips and tricks associated with it. Within a few posts and the willingness of the members on this site spending the time to help me, I got it running like a brand new truck. Don't discount the years of experience available to you here.....you'll find it better than any manual out there.

Getting frustrated is the first sign of defeat, you never want to get that way. I know its hard to not get frustrated but with all the knowledge in this forum, all you would have to do is ask and then answers will come in for you so you don't waste money and replace part after part.

Brandon, be nice to the guy. I can relate to what he is going through. We don't need to knock him down in the process of helping him. My post was not intended to be a 'burn'.

Cars always frustrate me, but they always run better then ever in the end. Try rewiring a 25 year old car, thats frustration.

Kyle, you can only help those who want to help themselves.
