If you ever need a hand with something, and are willing/able to drive it out to Niverville, PM me and I might be able to help out depending what I have going on at the time.

Sweet I appreciate that.. I think my original suspension needs to be replaced and upgraded.. considering doing that after my power steering is resolved.

CITICARB on 592 Dobbie Ave in Winnipeg has been great find for me thus far. This past summers heat and our crazy winter and my truck hasn't over heated, based off of that I went back for my latest repairs.


Replaced Cooler lines from motor to oil return
Replaced u joint with a heavy duty one
Replaced a bunch of light bulbs

truthfully, a few people I know that owned a Blazer told me their repairs and of course reading about fellow board member repairs... this old girl thus far hasn't been the norm. Maybe due to the low kms? or just lucky.. funny u mentioned the fuel line, ive been expecting that to go at 100,000...

So 10months later I am replacing these rear pads again. Not sure why when the front pads are on year two and going strong!?




mind u I have increased my driving by 6 times... daddy duty picking up dropping off.. daycare... mothers place etc.. my fuel bill is $240 a month am on the prowl for another cheaper vehicle.. considering swaping blazer and my buick for something SUV -ish and cheaper on gas.

I have a 93 corolla I use when I don't have my son with me or when I don't need 4WD. It is definitely cheaper on gas as it regularly gets 30+ MPG.
