My first car was a 99 olds intrigue bought it new drove it 235,000 untill 2008 with no issues at all love that 3800! Had a 98 olds bravada had it 4 years, drove it across the country, sold it with 142,000 didnt have to put a dime in it. Now I have a 99 blazer Ive had for over 4 years. this one hasnt been to good to me….. with 99,000 the head gasket went out, water pump, radiator, as well as all the bushings and everything on the front end. 4,000 miles later the oil pump gave out on the highway going 80 mph and siezed the motor, put another motor in, had lifter problems, had to take it out… put another brand new 4.3 in and had to do some wire harness work. but the blazer runs great now, seriously just like new ( guess it should since in dumped about $8,000 in it in 6 months, people thought I was crazy dumping that into it but the body and interior is prestine and its better quality than newer cars as far as im concerned) but either way I love my Blazer and Wouldn’t trade it for anything! I will be a loyal GM customer for life!
