Re: What year is the worst year for the Blazer ?
Well, my 95 was a problem from the get-go, (2 door 2wd), mostly interior parts that were cracking and breaking. That's why for a project truck I choose the 94, gen 1, so they had several years to have fixed all the previous crap. I also prefer the boxy, old school style. (and the stronger cpi motor)

Re: What year is the worst year for the Blazer ?
I'd guess that 1995 was the worst, because they have the leaking CPI to worry about as well as all the problems the newer ones have.

Re: What year is the worst year for the Blazer ?
"94 big faults in the earlier Linear EGR's. Also bad cause it still used R-12 Freon. I think it was the only production vehicle using R-12 in 1994.

Re: What year is the worst year for the Blazer ?
Wasn't the bad factory dexcool introduced partway through 95 through some of 96? I've seen 95s with green and some with red. Those vehicles had issues from the beginning because of the bad factory coolant.

Re: What year is the worst year for the Blazer ?
I can say this much, That my 1988 4.3 was rock solid. She was one mean B*%&^#! I would pit her with the best. The problems for me started when I payed more attention to my girlfriends corvette. Sorry that this year wasn't in the list, But I just had to commend my Gal for being there when I needed her. 4 wheel drive all the way. She had to have atleast 50 thousand miles trail driving and mountain climbing. The paint was gone, but the entire system was built like a mini-sherman tank. I wish that I could cuss, because she was that tough! If I find her again, I will buy her back.

Re: What year is the worst year for the Blazer ?
i have a 95 thats rock soild. all the work was done right. the only things ever changed on the truck besides fluids and tune ups is,exhaust,lower and upper ball joints,shocks,CPI twice. once since i've had it and one time before,brakes,tires and the EGR valve. thats it. 77,000 miles and still runs strong. 4X4 is always there as well. no problems with it yet. the only thing i'd say about the years is any 96 and ups because of the smaller HP and the 1st gen had the 4 cyinder which should have never been put in there. TOO SMALL.

The sludge was caused from air getting into the cooling system from the poor cap which is just as shitty as any other year due to the fibrous rubber gasket which will harden and fail.
