Default Finally got the Blazer

After a week of getting the run-around trying to sell my old 93 step side Chevy, I finally had a gentleman call me, who had just totaled his truck and was in need of a replacement, he made an offer I couldn't refuse and had his friend drive him 2 1/2 hours to buy the truck. As soon as we pulled out of the parking lot after selling him the truck, we went and bought a 96 4 door 4x4 Blazer. It's been sitting for a while and has a few issues, but for $700 bucks, we couldn't pass it up. I'll post pics up later.

One quick question, where is the best place to get a replacement mirror from?

Wow, great deal! We got my blazer for $4K with lots of problems.

yup, wreckers is the cheapest bet.

picked up a pair of '01 mirrors for only $30, the other week.


what other "issues" does the truck have?

It's throwing a P0101 and a P1351 code, I'm pretty sure the P0101 code is from a clogged converter, but not sure about the other one

Can't wait to see the pics. Might be a good idea to make a spreadsheet like I did to help keep on top of maintanence. Always better to know and have a record vs scratching your head and guessing when the last time something was serviced.
