A few months back, my Bravada had the torque converter fail, and I was in a tight spot financially so I had to sell her. But I've spotted a Bravada on Craigslist near me for a reasonable price and my tax return is coming in soon.

The issue with the Craigslist posting is that they claim it's a 2003, but the body style is from 97-01. I might be able to use that to talk them down on the price. If that ends up being a no go, I could always get a blazer. There's a handful of them in my area for sale.

That brings up a question. How much changed between the 99-01 models? If it isn't too much, I might be able to use the service books for it.

 

Pretty sure almost nothing changed in the drivetrain. Mostly just trim changes.

 

The guy I sold my Bravada to said he's had a few blazers and a couple Bravadas. He said he had one with a good trans, but a bad motor that was a 2000. He was thinking about swapping the trans out of the one I sold him, since the engine had one difference. I think it was the knock sensor that was a little different.

 

Ended up getting a 97 Bravada. Had 134k miles, and it's in great condition. Leather is all good, interior is spotless, has new alternator, AC compressor and starter. Transmission was flushed a few months ago too.

The seller said it needs an oil change, which is fine, since I was planning on doing that this weekend anyway.

 

What engine in the 1997 Bravada? Didn't some of those come with an optional 5.3 V8?

 

Nope, it's got the 4300
