Are you having problems with your 1994 Chevrolet Blazer?
Vincent Pfannerstill 2025-01-06
This car is the best car you have ever owned! I'm so glad to hear that you recently purchased a 2002 Tahoe, but it sounds like your heart still belongs to the Blazer you owned. I completely understand why - it was the best riding SUV you had ever been in and it proved to be very dependable in winter months.
Xander Murazik 2024-11-29
Your 1994 Blazer is one of the best SUVs around! You won't have any problem getting anywhere with the powerful 5.7 liter V8. It's definitely one to look for if you want a great used SUV!
Vance Ryan 2024-10-19
I can tell you really love your truck! It's great to hear that you've had no problems with it even after 135,000 miles. Just remember to change the oil every 3,000 miles and you'll be good to go. Thanks for sharing your positive experience!
Ken Bauch 2024-10-09
This is definitely the best vehicle I've ever had! It has 365,000 kms and still runs like a dream, a true tribute to Chevy. It's completely stock and still works great! The power is good and the 4x4 is sick. It's truly an impressive vehicle.
Dayne Haag 2024-10-07
Your 94' truck has been an absolute joy to drive! I'm impressed that you've managed to keep the original engine and transmission going strong, even after 4 years and 306,000 kms. It's great to hear that the bf Goodrich mud terrain tires have held up so well too. Of course, with any vehicle, there are bound to be some repairs needed over time, but it sounds like you've taken care of everything that's come up. I can understand your frustration with the rear defog wire breaking off and the awkwardness of reaching into the back with the tailgate down, but those are minor issues in the grand scheme of things. Overall, it's clear that you have a real passion for your truck and I'm sure it's a real head-turner on the road. Thanks for sharing your experience with us!
