My wife and I bought our Blazer used on jan.'08. It had 148,551 miles on it, it now has 176,894. We have had only one problem with it (the fuel pump finally went out in it at 176,756). Other then that the rig is great. The 4.3l v6 is by far the best engine I have ever seen in a rig. Its a shame they quit making it. We love the 4x4 system it has, and we like the auto 4x4 option it came with. I wasn't shur I would like the push button 4x4, but I will have to say I am impressed with its ease going in and out of 4x4 mode. In all we couldn't be happier, and we plane on keeping it for a long time.
Nothing to brag about

Bought this SUV for my wife. I have the same year Mazda Tribute and it is amazing how different they run. The Mazda is a tight ride, drives new. We have done nothing but general maintenance. The Blazer runs rough, we have probably spent $1,500 over the past year for repairs. A friend of mine had a blazer and he told me to stay away but I did not listen.

I bought my 2001 Blazer LT that had been garage kept with 95,000 miles on it. It looked like it just came off the show room floor and didn't have any issues at all except a shimmy in the front end which was the sway bar and I had that replaced. I went a step further and did a lot to it such as 4 new shocks, change transmission fluid, change oil, replace manifold gasket and valve cover gaskets, complete tune up, change gear oil, replace sensor and fuel pump in the gas tank, replace tires, bought a new stereo system and speakers,flushed the brake lines, flushed the power steering lines, flushed the radiator. When I changed the oil I added BG additive and also I add Lucas Fuel Injector cleaner to every tank of gas. Needless to say it runs and rides like new.

Bought new and replaced entire fuel system within the first year. Belt squall almost from day 1 that nobody has been able to fix. Too many major engine repairs early in life of the vehicle and too many parts wore out long before they ought to have. Not one of Chevrolet's best efforts

I've had my 2001 Blazer for about 2 years and I can honestly say that it has been a money pit. I've spent over $2,000 in repairs, it is definitely a maintenance item. The GM Dex-coolant clogged the heater core and radiator. I had to replace the radiator and hoses at about 120k. The engine is powerful but sluggish, the tranny slips, the door pins and hinges took a crap this winter, the four-wheel drive no longer works, the ABS and o2 sensors are notorious failures, the car is prone to electronic issues, and the gas mileage is similar to a full size truck. Car handles poorly, the interior plastic rattles, driver door panel is barely hanging on, and the ride is pretty rough.
