Re: Need Advice quick please 1986 blazer
The 2.8 is a very durable, very sluggish engine. The transmissions (700R4), assuming it is an automatic, were not the best those years, so make sure that tranny feels/looks good. Take it on the highway and go for a good boot if you can, make sure it shifts through all the gears and you have TCC lock up. The 2.8's used a specific 700R4, so you can't just get just any tranny. Of course, if its a manual, then you don't have to worry. Other than that, it still has all the other usual problems thee trucks have.
