blazer on a road trip
So i have a 2000 ls 4x4, with about 112k. im kicking around the idea of taking from akron,ohio to the st.petersburg,florida area. Total its about 2200 miles...give or take. Ive never taken it on a trip of that distance...but ive never had a reason not to trust it. I already rebuilt the whole front end, new tires,new calipers, brakes, trans sensors, trans flush, plugs,wires ect. I do have a new spider injection system, felpro intake man gaskets, and lifters for it. basically i want to know if you guys think it would be ok to try it? i understand anything can happen, but im just not a just jump in and not think twice about it kinda person lol.

Last month the wife and I took her '93 Jimmy on a round trip from Western Washington to Southern Idaho. Two days, no problems.
Go for it!
Go for it!

If my 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse could make several trips cross country, going back and forth from Washington State and Colorado, then later going from Washington State, to Minnesota, to Nebraska, then back to Minnesota, and a trip to Colorado again and back to Minnesota without any issues, there should be no reason the Blazer shouldn't hold up.

I drove min from ohio to arkansas and back in a 4 day span. That being said truck has 283000. Milage doesnt really matter. if its well maintained should be no issues. i would hop in my truck right now and drive anywhere. As others said small tool kit and check your fluids at gas stops.
