How many miles you got?
140,000 on my 99 Tblazer, had it for a week now. Engine sounds very quiet, no valve train noise at all.
Some drive-line rumble above 60, sounds like my Scout in 2wd with the hubs locked in. Gonna take a look at the u-joints next Saturday.
This is my tenth 4wd, everything from a 63 Scout to a 04 Touareg V8. All in all I really like this Blazer. The Auto Transfer Case is a tad too electronic, and currently on the fritz. Wish it was just old-fashioned levers and hubs, but hey, projects can be fun. And I know once it get it sorted out I will appreciate "electronic" when it turns into a blizzard outside and I need 4wd NOW.

334,xxx.
Bought it 2nd hand at 330xxx or so.
I'm going to treat her well, & make it mint.
Original engine & tranny. New radial tires, & I've just removed the back seats for cleaning. Ball joints & u joints needed replacing.
Going to rust-proof soon, since it gets salty on all of our roads.
Black on gray, ls 96.
I have ideas for reupolstering, but will shampoo wash the interior first. If that doesn't fair too well, I'll be placing in a new vinyl carpet or other by springtime.
Any ideas?
I'll get you a nice pic of the odometer reading tomorrow.
I'm going to start a progress thread one day, and would love to hear input from everyone else. It'd be nice to hear from others who can bring a little something to the table. There's lots I haven't thought about, but want to make this mine.
I srsly think mine tops the mileage count. I'm not sure what sort of repairs were done before hand, but I'm going to go all out, piece by piece.

Anyway, I want to do something about cleaning up and rust-proofing the underside, to protect my baby from the northern Pennsylvania salt roads in the winter. Let me know what you decide to do.
Thanks!
