I bought a 2002 Blazer ZR2 LE yesterday, body's rough but at 108K for $1200 I might as well have stole it. I checked the fluids and filters, tire pressure, the usual checklist. Is there anything specific to these trucks I should check/replace/upgrade right away?

PS-I LOVE THIS TRUCK!

 

Well you checked the Filters so a full tune up is always good. You know, plugs, wires, cap and rotor. That's always a great place to start.. The plugs are a Pain in the A** to do, best way is to use an extension and a universal joint and go in through the wheel wells.

Good Luck!

 

A ZR2 LE? Never heard of such a thing. What makes it different from an LS like every ZR2 I've ever seen?

 

ZR2's are easy as **** to do! Did mine about a month ago and had no problems. Just and extension is needed.

Upgrades: Probably some shackles to raise the back cuz they sag.

Lift kit, If you want it lifted

Wheel spacers! 2" in the back and 1.25" up front to widen it out and keep it grounded lol

Other than that, its completely up to you. Be sure to start up a build thread too!

 

It has an LS badge, not sure what it means but I think A/C, power everything, privacy glass, etc. This is my first Chevy so I don't know the differences in models yet.

Thanks for the advice guys, is there anything I aught to keep my eye on? Something that commonly fails in these trucks?
