General Chat Chat about all things Blazer (and related vehicles). Off-topic stuff should be in the lounge, and all mechanical problems should be posted in the proper forum.

How long have you had and how much have you put into your blazer?

Add another 80 for the one of a kind bumper signals in the first gen.... find another set on a first gen.. I will wait.. well worth the money and time.

What I need to get done still....
Passenger side cab mount (already have everything I need but time and warm weather)
Tranny filter/pan fluid change
and some minor body rust.

Also, the valve seals in the heads.. but that is not a huge deal, they are not bad right now, only about a quart of oil between changes, which is every 7-9k miles.

I got my 93 s10 when I was 15 for $500 spent a week taking the seats and center counsel so I could deep clean the interior (was owned by slobs with kids lol) waxed the paint to shine like new, drove it for 3 years and put $1200 into the tranny, was leaking fluid out of torque converter (seal up on tranny, transfer case flush, front and rear diff flush, torque converter) new 4x4 encoder motor, 3 water pumps, 4 alternators, 2 full tune ups, 3 stereos, radiator, all new water hose's, thermostat, TPS sensor, all 4x4 sensors, 4x4 actuator, front hubs, coil, 2 fuel pumps, most recently new rear end bearings and seals, and rebuild on rear drum breaks. All work I did except with the tranny, all in all I have about $3000 into it with cost of the truck, and the truck has never left me stranded away from home and I have drove it everyday for just over 6 years, got it when it has 138,000 on it and it now has 268,600 miles on original 4.3 Vortec CPI and 4L60E tranny, Love this truck and I am going to keep her till she is not fixable lol

2 years. The most expensive thing to date is the radiator and alternator. I figure the next two things to go will be the starter or the fuel pump. I have already got them in the garage waiting for the day.

Spend $1,200 on a new rad and wheel bearing (plus labour costs) a little while ago. So far running good.

I've had mine a little over 2 months and spent an additional $900 over what I paid for it. Most of that was for new tires and an alignment though.
I'm in for somewhere around $5100 total.

Got mine for $800, excellent shape for a 95, only 99k. Brand new tires, and some front end parts.
Roughly $300 for a new fuel pump, $20 sway bar end bushings/linkage and $500 on a tune up, spider included.
