Default Hit 150,000 Miles Today =(

Yep, I have officially hit 150,000 Miles today, sad but proud day for my Blazer!! As of right now, I have yet to replace anything major, except for the worst Wheel Bearings in the world (Which my Passenger one is starting to go and it's so deafening loud riding down the road).

Love the motor in these trucks, just wondering what I should be looking for to possibly go bad soon..I know I may have to replace the Alternator, it's pretty loud at times!!!

But like I said, I have done nothing to the truck behind regular maintenance...Mobil 1 Full Synthetic every 3000-5000 miles, spark plugs, wires, windshield washer fluid, just got brand new Goodyear Tracker 2 Tires 2 weeks ago..and that's it!!!!!!!

So yeah, that's my soap box, and congrats to my Blazer lol.

Id say at high miles look for waterpumps,pulleys and u joints. Change the oil in the diffs and pray for the best. Im at over 400k on my 1st gen. She still runs good!

Congrats. I was contemplating Plasti Dipping my stock rims black and after seeing your blazer I think I will do it now.

Mine is right at 100k miles and I hope I can make it to 150k pretty much problem free.

What? Parts on the blazer don't just rejuvenate? Dang it!

And I've got about 215k on my 96 and it still peels out . This motor keeps on chugging!

But as far as stuff going wrong, knock on wood! Hopefully nothing!

The Black Stocker's do set it off quite nice. I've also Undercoated the entire underside black, makes it look a hell of a lot better!!! Especially the ugly frame rail!!

But thanks man!

Actually I forgot, I changed my Transmission Fluid/filter last month, and replaced my Transfer Case Fluid with that smelly *** Blue stuff about 6 moths ago...Other than that, nothing major!
