Hey guys,

We recently purchased a '98 Blazer LS with 230K. It seems like it's an okay vehicle for what we need but it does need some work..

So far i've replaced the u-joints in the rear driveshaft, repalced the passenger side upper and lower ball joints, hub assembly, replaced front brake pads, gave the whole thing a good greasing, and plan on swapping all the fluids out.

Something I proabably won't tackle on my own is the intake manifold gasket. There isn't any water in the oil (after it's sat for a few days and I pulled the plug), but there are trails coming from the corners...

Aside from that it seems like it's a pretty solid little truck, the interior is mint aside from a rattle behind the gauge cluster when i'm sitting at a light and it's in gear (Automatic transmission).

Anyways, i've been using this forum for a couple weeks now to dig up info on this thing - the site has proved very usefull already. Thought I would finally introduce myself!

Names Brad, and I live in the land of the flat (Saskatchewan, Canada).

 

welcome from the land of the taxed lol (ontario). lots of canadians on here, and you can find out just about anything you need to know about your truck.

 

Evenin' from Nothern Ontario! I picked up a '00 LT w/ 177K on it a month or two ago Great place to learn stuff about the 4.3, and the lifting/offroad forum is a good read too! Post some pics!
