yea man I was suprised when I looked it over. it has a 2" dent on one of the passengerside doors and has some surface rust on top by the windshield and roof rack but other than those things there's really nothing major!!
I NEED a 97-99 LD9 engine harness for an auto.PM if u hav info.!!
i have the exact same thing except blue the only problems i have is the egr valve sometimes clogs with carbon very easy fix and no major problems....mine looks the same with the damage to haha god damn hit and run....but other wise nice find there very reliable
I had a 94 jimmy with the same engine. When i sold it it was still running well with 165k+ on the odo.
cool. thanks guys. kg ive been hearing that they were the best v6 that gm put out at the time that was just under a v8. (whatever that means) so i heard they are pretty strong motors as long as maintenance is kept up with.

My truck has the same motor, they have been around a long Time.
I had a 93 s10 and had no problems
my buddy had a 95 2wd blazer with 250k, had it two years or so and Never changed the oil and still ran fine.
looks like you got a good deal!

01 CAVY + 93 S-10 here
2.8 5-speed, 180k on the dial, not a single problem.....besides rust, and being ugly.
Its getting repair panels and paint this spring/summer to fix that though. Also looking for some drop spindles to take my 3/3 drop to a 5/6. Shaved handles and tailgate, and will be making a custom flushmount tonneau with linear actuators.
LMC truck
Get the catalog ASAP.
Had an '88 S-10 as my first modded ride, hell yes!
^^ kinda expensive, but they got everything. between Summit and LMC, you really dont need anything else to mod these things
* * BIG FOR SALE POST * *
I have had three s10's with that motor, the only problems gm really saw with the motor is the fuel pressure regulator, but they are easy to replace but somewhat costly
cool thanks guys. i already ordered my free catalog from lmc
and ive looked on summit and suicide doors etc already.
03supercharged its funny you say that because i can already see that mine is going bad. i hav yet to price a new one out yet but ive helped my friend change out his regulator on his tahoe .
first things i plan on doing is removing the roof rack and spare.getting a new bumper and lowering it. but im def in no rush to do all that right now as i still gotta finish the swap on the cavy lol

i dont know if this year had problems with the fuel spider, but with all the injectors it had some issues, still a great 200k motor easy, oh and the internals are from a 350 so if you want to bore it the parts are commonplace and cheap. it can be stroked if you get froggy as well. btw nice iroc rim score too!
I have a 92' with 246xxx on it and the engin still runs like a champ!! Only thing it needs is some U-Joints!!
2004 Turbo cavalier 11PSI and blown!
Old School GM SUV = <3
My Cav
I give up...
i'm buying a VW those people love trees, so they should love eachother too... "Andy"
thanks fellas
and jason i know what you mean. its been nice not having to drive the cavy every day. ive been driving the blazer since saturday. so now she finally gets to be tucked away.driving the blazer and not having to worry about where i can drive,whos gonna hit me,or breaking something on the way to work has been just a big lift off my shoulders

yeah was going to say that also. i don't think it was year specific just the vortec 4.3. it will start as a rough idle and turn into a partial miss. my grandma had to have 2 put in a 700 a pop. other well know problems are upper and lower ball joints go bad quick, idler arms also wear out quick, trannies don't hold up do to lack of mantaince. if it starts slipping or not shifting right then just look for another, more towards the 2wds than 4wds. also intake gaskets like to fail on those they usually rot out at the drivers side front corner leaking down the front of the block. some have problems with push button 4 wheel drive. the actuator will go bad and cause it to get stuck in 4wd. those are the most common problems with those besides rust. just thought i would give you a heads up since you asked. and don't take what i said as an insult all vehicles have there problems. as long as the above stuff is taken care of or is not a factor then you have one heck of a blazer that will perform excellant. i'm a little rusty on my s-series facts but they consider that the ho 4.3 to. meaning it out performs all the other 4.3 they produced with a good bit more torq and horsepower. good to see you now have a dd.

so this is the HO?> i actually read that on a website that there was a HO but i didnt know if it was mine. cool. shes def got torq. big diff from driving the cavy lol. you know it does kinda have a rough idle not all the time but sometimes. i will be doing a tranny flush,oil change,new plugs etc here soon just to be on the safe side as he couldnt tell me the last time he changed the plugs. however he had documents on all oil changes at pep boys and were all on time. as well as had a new starter put it. ill def keep my eye on those things you listed above man. i dont take it as an insult,thats what i was wanting to hear from others. thanks for all the info man i def appreciate it.!!
