Mr. R? Interesting fact you may or may not have known. The 4.3 Vortec is just a Chevy 5.7 (350) V8 with two cylinders hacked off. That is literally all they did to create the 4.3. Just took a 350, went HERE'S JOHNNY and CHOP. What's crazier though is that, at some point, Chrysler did the EXACT same thing to create the 3.9 Magnum (insert condom joke here) V6. They took the 5.2 V8 and chopped two cylinders off of it. And somehow it sold.
@vtr01049 жыл бұрын
Crazy 90's.. And to think in the late 50's and early 60's GMC was making V12's by putting V6 blocks together. I think even Detroit Diesels used a similar modular design, where you just added more blocks and turbos to make a larger unit. Back then people wanted more engine, afterwards they wanted less. Yeesh..

6 years from the future. I can explain. In the modern era 2000s onwards it's not common for average new age people to have a car for a long time before switching to newer models. About 4-5 years give or take then a new one turns up. Even less. Anyone born from the millenial era around the 1980s would be the last generation that really understood the concept of owning older cars and keeping them going and more importantly rely on a vehicle long term. So it comes as a surprise for people when they see a old SUV or sport car not of the famous variety sputtering around. And more surprised when they hear the mileage. Some cars were just built to last. The GMC Jimmy and Blazers of the 90s were one of the few vehicles designed to take punishment and keep going. Not to mention for a truck of the era it wasn't bad looking and were relatively easy to fix. My SLT Jimmy has been going strong with only the last year or two not being in use thanks to the pandemic. It needs work to fix up and restore back to the road but it's essentially the cost of a computer. Compared to some modern cars where even a check up rivals a down payment for a small car.

First car, middle of high school, and for almost a decade, was a 96 GMC Jimmy, the rebadged twin of this blazer. 2 door, automatic, and suffered all of these problems and more. Oh my god, the vacuum lines. The latter years of its life i gave up on believing i'd have 4wd or adjustable directions on the aircon. Feet and defroster, that's how it rests at failure, and that's how you're gonna get your hot or cold air. I was a teenager and i treated this car like an irresponsible teenager would. I plowed this through snowfields and brush. I crawled over rocks and through mud. I changed my oil not often enough and I drove until the piston rings were so defeated that i couldn't bear the embarrassment of driving the smoke machine around town anymore. Traded it for scrap about six years ago and this review fills me with such agonizing nostalgia for it. These are not vehicles that will last, the vacuum lines will make sure of that. The plastic and rubber everything will make sure of that. But this was a great SUV in its time, and a great size for a fun, versatile, capable SUV. I'll always miss you, Jimmy Bernie Bojangles. You were a great friend.

I'm not a hundred percent sure but I'm pretty sure those blazers have tapered bearings that at their most expensive cost 10ish bucks a wheel when needed to be replaced and they're serviceable in that every brake change it is recommended that they get regreased and resealed inside the rotor. Super simple stuff and most mechanics will add a small additional charge if any at all to your brake work in order to do it.

There are plenty of things on my car that I have just now replaced that were 46 years old. Such as my starter motor, (yes this is serious), head gasket, tachometer ect. Then there are things that are still 46 years old that work. Like the voltage regulator, heater coil, exhaust (minus the manifold. That was replaced with headers). I don't know how old the ignition coil is. It's either 46 years old or 30ish.

I own a 15 year old BMW E46, I got new suspension parts once for 300$ and that's it. I still drives like on the first day, nothing rattles, everything works and it's still gorgeous. There is nothing normal about replacing just about anything you can find under the hood in 16 years.

Windshield wiper fluid reservoir. Engine wire harness. Battery. Battery terminal connectors. Tires. PCV valve. A/C blower motor. Water pump. Exhaust manifold. Catalytic converter. *The entire oil pan/filter assembly.* Aaaaand *THE ENTIRE FRONT AXLE.* Oh, and the gas cap 'cause somehow *that* broke, too! :D Still needs: Suspension upper control arms in *all four corners.* Heater core.

It seems like my 2001 Blazer is always a couple repairs away from being a good SUV. I replace the rear end, transmission, ball joints, tie rod ends, idler arm, pitman arm, and the steering box. Now it needs control arm bushings and a motor mount. On the brite side it is the TrailBlazer Luxury edition with embroidered leather, heated seats and mirrors, climate control and 4 auto. Also it is lifted 4 inches and has off road tires. The engine is friggin great though. 18 to 20 MPG and reliable as all hell. I have never had a problem with it.

ugghhhhhhh man everything about this little truck conjures up so many, many sweet moments to be reminisced, even the hard, unplanned headaches are a drop in the bucket now, even those moments do i miss. Had me a little two door just like this, champagne-silver, sunroof, big ole all terrain tires and a rear window defroster where only 3 of the little wires worked. My first car at 19, two jobs, freshy in college and away from home. bought it in the spring, everything during that time was perfect in its own way. even the identity of this truck: a 90s kid, it was my other half in a way, everything was just so perfect in its own way, regardless of the many things that didnt work and were broken. I need to get her back.... one day..

Yes. Even with all my miles on it, those 4x4 parts are original. The engine, tranny, and differentials are original. I've replaced a few parts along the way, but the most major were just brake lines, fuel lines, water pump, and I've replaced the fuel pump twice. Really just parts that will go bad when your major components last that long.

My dad owns a used 2003 blazer that he's had for a while. It still runs, alongside with his red 1990 blazer. The red truck had part of the roof covering the back seat removed (sawed off) so technically it's an s10 pickup now. That ones not road legal, but during snow days he uses it as a snow plow on the driveway.

Cool video, as usual, MR. RCR... My ex wife had a 95 Blazer. The Vortec V6 was a horrible and unreliable motor. The old owners were old people who drove slow. The carbon buildup got so bad, the engine ended up throwing a rod(among other issues). After replacing the engine, she ended up totaling her Blazer while drunk lol Ahhh memories. Crazy women and Blazer's don't mix hahaha... Keep kicking ass with these videos, if you ever need some music contributions, hit me up, its what I do ;) Cheers!!!

Yeah, it probably is because you take care of it. My ex's motor threw a rod at like 120,000 miles. I think the prior owners were not very good with it.

3:00 for the record, this suv does not have a locking front differential, the front axle actuator is for the hubs. Also, for the record, all the things you rattled off probably cost less than $100 in parts... ok I'm exaggerating but seriously it is ridiculously cheap to maintain these things. As a virtually broke college kid I could afford to fix these machines. And once you fix it once you usually never have to fix it again.
