bought this blazer in 2010 after my return from Iraq. Turned out to be a permanent "check engine" car... Until i had figured out what the hell to do to fix half of the problems. First the alternator took a dump, then the cv axle and sway bushings blew out. There was always something to work on with this Blazer, but that in part made me love it so much. Without getting this as a lemon, i probley would not know half the mechanical work needed to fix common and not so common issues. I do all my work on this Blazer, which makes me a proud owner of such a P.I.T.A half the time. But when life hands you lemons, you find a way to make lemonade. :)
