I bought this Blazer last month. I had been looking for another Blazer & I found this 98 Blazer LT 4x4 with a little over 100,000 miles with a good clean Carfax. I knew I had some things to fix. I bought it right I felt & left myself room to get repairs done. There were a lot of little things that I didn't expect.
But today I got it back with all the issues fixed & working great. I liked the way this Blazer drives & runs. It has a lot of upgrades over my 97 Blazer 4x4. For one it has good oil pressure & doesn't have a Balancer Shaft knocking as did my 97. But it also gets a little better gas mileage, it stops much better with 4 wheel disc brakes. I really like the automatic headlights. Talk about getting lazy. Don't even have to turn on the lights anymore.
There are only a couple of things I wish this one had that my 97 had, skid plates, G-80 Rear End, & a lift hatch rather than the split hatch. But I can buy the skid plates I think. The holes are there & the longer bolt on the T/C mount to bolt up the plate. I will look for metal plates because I'm told the 98s up had Plastic skid plates.
Anyway, I'm a happy owner of a nice, good running Blazer 4x4. Thanks for everyone's help that has helped me with issues.
