My 2000 4WD has 104,000 on the clock. Just gave it the first tune up, #3 plug is a pain in the butt, fuel filter and serpentine belt change. Transmission was rebuilt about 5 years ago because of the plastic overdrive ring they put in them, guy replaced it with metal. New radiator recently, soon need to put new pins and bushings in the door hinges the second time, other than normal maintenance, thats all that was done to mine. Need to replace the fuel pump someday but I'm not looking forward to that.

My origional engine in my 2001 4door 4x4 had 125,000 on it when it blew last november....I had bought it with 119,000 on it. No clue how many miles the junkyard motor in it now has on it.

the '97 has about 183,000 on it now. when i did a tune-up last year i checked the compression and it showed 180 on all 6! its only down a qt of oil in 4,000 miles (which is when i change it anyhow) and will get 23 highway mpg. gets about 17 combined. it does need shocks, but im amazed overall with this S-blazer.
