Hey, today I decided to go offroading witch did not end well when my 4x4 actuator decided it would break. This is my second actuator in a year and I just got this one 4 months ago anyways I was just wondering how common this is in blazers and how often they break because I don't like fixing my 4x4 every few months.

 

Check out the first couple pages of my build thread I have a cheap $40 solution so that you never have to worry about a broken actuator again

 

Alright thanks, I will check them out for sure and get some ideas on how to do it.

 

I must be lucky...on my original one...235k miles

Now it will break.

 

I still got my original Knock on wood

 

I could put my original back on right now and it would be fine i just swapped mine so i didnt have to ever worry about it! I did a write up in my build with parts and where to get them if it helps any. Feel free to ask if you have any questions.

 

No comment... me no jynxy.

 

Smart man

 

Mine was still good when I pulled it out. 17 years, 200k kms.

 

I have no reason to believe mine isn't original so, 22 years and 239k miles later. All that has been an issue is the vacuum line, which ripped apart. I'm going to a manual cable setup similar to Rex's.
