Re: What year is the worst year for the Blazer ?
I think the 95's are... my 96 has been rock solid, but my buddy had a 95 that had to have 3 injectors replaced at 80,000 miles. It also had a few other ticks to it that he had a lot of problems with.

95's don't have individual injectors you can replace.

Re: What year is the worst year for the Blazer ?
Ah, ok, that means he had to replace the CPI injector. When it fails, it over fuels three of the cylinders and leans out the other three.

Re: What year is the worst year for the Blazer ?
the 1995 is the worst. of course, ALL vehicles after 1972 are crap. i'm so tired of some silly ass computer thats located inside everything else, cost $900.00, and replaced something that cost $.10, that all i wanna do is find myself another 1968 c-10. i drove one of those for 4 years, spent maybe $100 on in that entire 4 years, and when something needed fixed, it was easy. i guess i'm rambling, but i'm SO TIRED of fixing this "modern" piece of crap...btw does anyone want to buy a 1995 blazer that i can't fix?

i put 94 but the truth is 85. like the domino effect everything goes in order water pump, altinator, tranny, radiator just desinagrates my frame rotted in god damn half. Twice two totally different blazers and actually 3 x's once with a 90 s-10 pick up. I have a 96 blazer now and besides replacing a heater hose it is perfect.

Dexcool was changed because of the mudding AND the hardening of the cap gaskets. seems its composition contained an oxydizer, great for cleaning, murder on rubber and other things... and btw, in a proper coolant return setup NO AIR touches the internal setup after its initial purge. Thats the nature of the beast.

Based on your NY license plate in your sig I can understand your rusty frame! I'm from Rochester and my frame is all rusty too.
I heard that the dexcool formula was changed around 1996 from my dealer. I don't have any information beyond that, but I do know that sludging was not the same issue for later year cars, and I doubt the radiator cap was the problem because it's design has not changed.

No, the coolant is not causing the problem, the defective rad caps GM installed caused air to be able to seep into the cooling system which caused the mudding.
Don't believe me? Read this:
