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

Default What I have done..lets see

I will be the first to say that there is probably stuff that I should be doing but have not been doing. Mine has been pretty bullet proof on the major stuff. Here goes:

Intake manifold gasket
Brakes all round
More tires than I can count for some reason
Oil changes and fluids


the old girl has 103,000 miles on her

Thanks

I inherited my 2001 blazer with 68000 miles on it from my grandpa in 2012, and have put about $2500 into it. Needed intake gaskets, brakes, rear pinion seal, secondary air injection pump, a whole list of little things, and then I rebuilt the ABS brake module. Now I just rolled over 71,000 (it is a secondary vehicle) and it needs a new thermostat. I love my Blazer, but it definately has costed me some $$$ in the 2 years I have owned it.
