My '88 now has 304,000 all original miles. at 302,000 i took it on a non stop trip to iowa from south carolina and then back a few days later (1,081 miles one way). Like i said, original engine, trans, rearend, and suspension. just changed out the ignition control module and pick-up coil, and she purrs like a kitten. expecting many more miles :-)

92,666 yesterday. Nothing but brake problems the last 2 months/2,666 miles. Brakes failed on Garden State Parkway 2 months ago. Dishonest shop replaced M/C. Did it again 200 miles later. Real problem was rear left caliper jammed. Pad was warn all the way down to the backing plate with the paint melted off. Mechanic said that I was lucky there was no fire. Gas tank is right near the wheel with the jammed caliper. Only wheel where the pads were bad. Opposite side caliper started sticking after the pads were replaced. Had rear calipers and pads, 1 new rotor/1 turned, master cylinder replaced so far. Only original parts of the brake system remaining are the lines (some rust, but not bad), hoses and brake booster (all confirmed okay). Fronts pads and calipers are getting done tomorrow. Rotors are only a year old, so I am keeping them. I believe the sliders are jammed and the inner pads are going bad or are glazed. The car is taking a long time to stop. No low pedal or anything.

i didnt have all the other stuff happen but my truck started taking a while to stop then one day my brakebooster just gave way when i was on the highway, when coming to stop then go it would either want to stall or stall then i replaced it & everythings mint!

I just cruised past 62,000 miles/100,000 km
hopefully the '02 Blazer has many more lol, just broken in with the tranny & coolant back flushes, both diff's got the oil changed & transfer case
It gets the oil every 3000 miles or so & next is the power steering fluid (thinking about an inline filter, couldn't hurt) & the brakes totally bled out
