I bought this blazer because the owner was parting it out and planning to scrap it. I paid more than I should have but could not let this thing be turned into a new kia.

My parents bought a '93 Blazer S10 back in the day. This is such a flashback. Glad to see it saved and appreciated. As you said it is strangely optioned with being bare bones with some minor options. Very cool.

Yeah I've never seen one optioned out like this one but I kinda dig it cause it's different. It was a fleet vehicle is why government use.

It was a fleet vehicle and has military numbers on the fenders if the light hits it right which explains the low miles and condition

My gf has one just like yours same everything 93 4×4 4.3 vortex with 190,000 miles . But white and then it has blue cloth interior and same wheels but id like to find the other wheels that has the 4×4 written on them . At moment it's waiting on parts the spider fuel injectors are shot which so so common on these 4.3s with the orange vertex .

@SethsBudgetBuilds 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah would be a neat idea I know the kid I got it from was paying payments off it so imma assume he bought it from a dealer who bought it at auction which means the dealer probably bought it off the original owner

Great video, thats a really nice S10 Blazer-I came across a 94 S10 Blazer LT Black with tan interior, wish I would of had gotten it. But now I have the pickup version-1991 S10 extended cab 4.3 tbi 2wd tahoe pkg fully loaded all power with cruise...love these vehicles, even had a 88 s15 X-cab 4x4 gypsy pkg when I was a kid... it had the 2.8L which was a turd...had to floor it all the time to make it move but great vehicles-reliable and fun to work on...

She's definitely a beauty 🤟 I bought a $3k, 300k miles 02' Blazer ZR2 in Very Mint Cond. You wouldn't think it with 300k miles but she still gets sticker mileage at 16 in town & 18+ on highway. Can't even feel it running at a red light with the AC on. The old man I bought it from in Houston kept her in the garage & know one has ever sat in the passenger & rear seats. The 4.3 Vortec is strong & fuel Trims on both banks read, 0.0 to 0.1 Runs better than my Wife's newer Ford Escape. lol But that's a gem. I love the old school boxey S-10 Blazers. My 1st Truck I bought was a 1992 S-10 4cyl Manuel Tranny. Loved that truck!

@SethsBudgetBuilds Жыл бұрын

That's alot of miles lol. If it's clean though would be worth replacing with a new engine when it fails I've seen 1 4.3 make it to 400k couple to 300k so maintained correctly they last. Zr2 blazers are cool I wish they had a zr2 square s10 ha

@hottroddchevelle Жыл бұрын

I live in WA state, most of the cars here look really solid underneath like that cause there is no salt used on our roads. They get wet but thats about it. I had a 94 like this one that was loaded, pretty sure it had every option offered and it started losing coolant so thinking it was a head gasket I pulled the heads only to find that both heads had small cracks in them. Put rebuilt heads on and kept driving it. It was a good rig. Sold it to a friend and he got rid of it when it had 250,000 miles, the trans started slipping

@SethsBudgetBuilds Жыл бұрын

Yeah the vortec heads where known to crack or have sticky valve issues and would miss at higher rpm. I will say though the 4.3 will last if you do your maintenance

Damn what a deal man sucks engine is done but that milage and how clean mint condition I would've gotten it too . Sadly I've seen a few at junkyard that was this mint and was even loaded power everything and leather seats and low miles like 100,000 or 150,000 miles or so and people just junk them and once that come in that's it which makes me so mad . I tryed buying one and they wanted $1500 and no title just like it was and I'm going hell no , no way.

Yeah I see it all the time I try to save cars from that life if I can I remember seeing a 1998 s10 blazer 4 door in a pull a part couple years ago had 54k miles was beautiful inside and put looks like they rear ended someone was totally fixable fenders where still straight and they let the insurance junk it so sad

If its in good shape don't scrap it. Atleast post it forsale for cheap someone like me would scoop it up and fix it. This one got posted for parts but I got them to sell it whole
