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.
