My blazer was a regularly serviced lease vehicle before I bought it (i have the dealership service records in the glove box). I now have 79,000 miles on it, but everything still runs excellent. I never miss a service interval and keep the truck spotless inside and out. How long will these trucks last? This is my first blazer actually this is my first chevrolet. I guess what i'm wondering is, will it bite the dust anytime soon? will it be a waste of money to lift it and buy new rims and tires? I just dont wanna get screwed, so are these good trucks, with long lives?

 

Well i just got a 87 S10 with a 2.8 with 257,XXX seems to run pretty strong! most the ppl here will tell ya they are good trucks...at 79k its just a baby on mileage..Just keep up on tune ups,oil changes etc....and should run for yrs...Godd Luck

i will be buying my first blazer in a few weeks and i did a bunch of research on them. From what i have read, both on this forum and other sources, if they get the regular maintence then they last forever. The fuel pump and ball joints are really common problems, but all and all it should last for ever. There is a miles thread on here somewhere and if i remember correctly someone cleared 300k on the odometer. If you do decide to lift it, that will put more strain on the suspension components and they will wear faster. But if that is a route you choose to go, there is a ton of info on here to help with that. Hope that helps.

 

I forgot to put it on there.... i intend to body lift it so i dont put alot of strain on stock suspension components. . .

 

Blasir has 322K on his, Just take care of em and they will last a long long time, like most engines.

 

It's all about the maintenance. A machine will last as long as its owner looks after it. Being that you are religious about taking your vehicle in for service and keeping after things, you can probably figure on having around for many years.
