I bought the other cause I’m fixin it it’s a 2005 trailblazer LS EXT and this one suffers from the common issues that these cars with a inline 6 suffer from, compression, and spark issues, along with a few cooling codes I’ve ironed out it’s in great condition on the interior and exterior just has mechanical issues I got it for 600 bucks my other trailblazer I got it for 1,000 and this one is a 2003 trailblazer LS EXT in amazing condition interior, exterior, and mechanically as well it was cheap due to the mileage on it.

    You probably have one of the most interesting automobile channels on KZread. I had 2000 Blazer with the 4.3 Vortech. I probably paid for that truck twice with all the repairs I incurred. The thing eventually started eating fuel pumps at the rate of 2 per week for a while. Ironically, I have a couple of friends that both own a couple of the 1989-1994 body style and they have no trouble with them. Great video as always!

    They changed the name blackandgold because in 1995 they dropped the s10 on s10 blazer. 1995 and up s10 blazers was called just blazer. I'm guessing so that we wouldn't be confused. 1994 was the last year for the s10 blazer and the last of the square body style. 1994 WAS the first year of the round body style for the s10. The blazer didn't change till the next year 1995.

    Some have already pointed out that the 2DR S-10 Blazer was introduced in 1982 not 1992. The K5 full-size Blazer actually became a 2DR Tahoe/Yukon at the very end of its lifespan when the 4DRs were introduced in the mid 90s. Most young people are going to associate the Blazer nameplate with the S-10 variants. Also, the 4.3 V6 and its 190hp/250 lb-ft were quite competitive for the era. My first car was a 2001 4.3/L35 equipped 4x4 S-10 pickup with a 3.73 final drive gear ratio. Fuel economy was abysmal, but words cannot express how much more low-end trailer towing power was available from this setup vs. the 2018 200hp+ 4cyl engines people are comparing to this powertrain.

The only negative was it got terrible gas mileage. I felt good about this vehicle as my son had a lot of snow in the winter and with the 4 wheel drive, it served him well. We keep it for another 12 years. It just ran so well. We then sold it and I know it's still in use. P

    Owned a 97 & 04 S10 Blazers (Eaton G80 rear diffs stock, upgraded spring packs/shocks/mild torsion crank for a 3/4" front lift, with ZERO effect on ball joints/suspension/control arm wear, no keys, just a crank on the 2 bolts). No complaints. Jumped it, took it odd road everywhere (snowmobile/atv trails included). Bullet proof engine, CHEAP AS HELL PARTS because of the astros/jimmies/safaries, easy as shit to work on (worst thing was cold chiseling the OEM ball joints rivets to bolt on the new ones, but really not a big deal at all). Not a mechanic myself, but with the haynes manual, I could do EVERYTHING in my laneway, never took either too a mechanic ONCE. Sold the 4 dr 97 with over 350 000kms on it (100,000 kms on logging roads in Northern Ontario), with no issues to be found. And unfortunately the 04 got written off by an idiot. The 04 had a lower gear ratio, and 2 drs, and was actually more fun with the shorter wheel base, drove it coast to coast, dogs loved it, folding seats made it great, towed my boat no problem, they were a great lil SUV. Still wish I had it... Mind you I have an 07 FJ Cruiser now, and, well, it's a tank, but also it's a silly vehicle for my general use case at this point in my life, and drinks fuel like I drink beer (A LOT). Also the 07 FJ was over double the price with 150 000kms on it, and the 04 Blazer was better for it's ability to actually fit places... Plus I paid under half the price, with 50, 000kms, and 6 months left on the warranty. SOOOO... Still rather my blazer.
