Blazers don't die! It must be resurrected!! its only an engine...

I know how you feel, Ive had mine for 14 years, never had the heart to part with it...

 

Thats sad man i would feel the same way if that happened to mine. But Diaita is right! its only an engine! go get a new one and get another 200,000 out of it.

Why did it throw a rod tho?

 

This doesn't have to be fatal. Check out the possibility of a used engine from a local auto rebuilder/dismantler if the body/remainder is worth keeping.

 

Yeah...get an engine. It will be far cheaper then getting a new ride and you keep your baby.
Thats my plan should that day ever come.

 

i am im already looking for one. well it blow a head gasket and had that fixed and when i got it back it started to knock and just got worse over time. it could of been fixed i bet. just didnt have money and had to get to work.

 

Here you go, $1849.00 (+$325 core price) NAPA AUTO PARTS

 

i would use it as an excuse to do an engine swap!

 

Nice!

P.S. I loved that show.

 

water killed the bearings. You always have a option of a used engine from a pull your own parts type yard. they are usually 200-300 for a engine with a warranty.
