Yes but if your name changed you could no longer be called by that name, it isn't your name any more. The Blazer is no longer an S-10 so it can no longer be called an S-10. It can only be called a Blazer. Well, you can call it anything you want but its actual name is just Blazer.

on my 95 4X4's inspection sticker it says T10.....

The Blazers are based on the S-10 body and frame. SO IN REALITY, it is a S-10 Blazer. This is a way to identify a Full size Blazer (which is now called a tahoe!) or a smaller Pickup truck sized blazer. Everywhere I go, I get asked if it's a Full Sized or S-10. I always tell them it's an S-10. As a matter of fact, I don't even wait for them to ask me. when I order parts, or anything for the Blazer, I tell them it's a 1997 S-10 Blazer, 4.3 liter V6 "W" engine. They know everything from there.

True, but that doesn't mean that it is not a T10.

[diddy0071]

True, it doesn't mean it isn't a T-10. BUT, so far no one I know has asked if it's a T-10 Blazer or Full Sized. They usually just ask for S-10 or Full sized. Besides, who cares what it's called. IT's a BLAZER.

and now were all nitpicking like a 5 year old girl who just had her favoret barbie called the wrong name... they are still s 10 blazers to the entire world who doesnt own one, my cousin is ase certifed, works in a shop his dad owns, who is an ase certified master machanic, and they both still classify it as a fullzied blazer/taho, or s 10 blazer... now they are "professionals" in their feild, and if they are still calling them that, because thats what they were for the longest time, then some dip shit behind a counter with no machanical background is going to need you to hold his hand, and need you to point, tell, then spell out for him exactly what your problem is and what you need to fix it my

You're thinking of s10 as a title, it isn't. It is descriptive, it tells what kind of Blazer. Think of it like this.....If my name was "Asshole Blazee" and I changed it to just "Blazee"....Even though it isn't part of my name anymore, I'm still an asshole.

Her name starts with a capital B not a lower case b and if you want to get technical about it....She is Princess Barbie.

Dilemma:
I have a 2000 Chevy blazer, (4.3l Vortech...4wd 2 dr) that has severe squealing from the belt...
Have had two belts replaced, a new alternator and two tension pulleys replaces...to no avail.
Can anyone help me figure out why the belt squeals, or if it is one of the pulleys...I AM GOING CRAZY WITH THE SOUND...

[BlazerLT]

Where is it coming from, if it is that noticeable, you should be able to pin point it.

95+ are still are still considered S10s and T10s, but it wasn't necessary to include it in the name after the full size was renamed to Tahoe.

That said....it still iritates me when they ask if it is an S10 or a full size.

Umm.. sorry but i think your wrong on that one the s-10's have always been offered in 2wd and 4wd models untill 94 when they stopped making the s-10's.

AH HA see there. They stoped making S-10 Blazers. Doesn't matter what they have always been called they are not called S-10 anymore no matter what people are use to hearing or saying. S-10 Blazers do not exist from 95 on. The S or T has nothing to do with what it is called and I better not hear some snot nose auto zone geek ask me what KIND of Blazer I have again or he's going to get my full wrath on his pimple ass. The only KIND of Blazer I own is a Chevy Blazer.

[dmbrisket 51]

your the kind of guy i would perpously give the wrong alternator, or wrong starter too, so increadibly stuck up about the fact that your blazer doesnt have a dime badge on it... to an owner, you know, but the entire world doesnt know that chevy quit putting s 10 on blazers in 94... if you want that kind of service go to the fricken dealer where they deal with Chevrolet parts only, those are the only parts people i would expect to know that 95 was a taho and 94 was a fullsize blazer and not an s 10 blazer

What do you think I'm wrong about? My post is correct. "S10" is generically applied all of them, but S is 2wd and T is 4wd. They didn't stop making S10s in 94 they just stopped putting words S10 on the truck in 95. GM still considers them S10s.

Check out this GM document you can see that they still called them S10s and S15s until 2004 (when the document was made) and they specify that S is 2wd and T is 4wd. It also shows that on the full size trucks C = 2wd and K = 4wd.

I think you should know that the guy you are quoting is the same one that posted this about airbags: (you should probably find a more trustworthy source)

I wish I had pics of it, ohh well. anyways when we shot it at an old car it went through the radiator into the engine block and compleatly destroyed the POS we found a piston head 75 foot from the car. Ohh and the reason we destroyed the car is because it was an 83 rustang with a blown v6. I ll try to get a digitall camera and get pics of it. It was really cool but i dont sudgest you do anything like this because it is considered a weapon of mass destruction and if you get cought with it you WILL go to jail.
