If gas milage is an issue then the ´01 TrailBlazer should be the one to go for...though I like the ´78 Blazer´s styling a lot

I like the second one for sure!! :)

 

$3650.00 sounds like a lot for that third one :)

I'd get the second one. They're full of shit when they say it's never been muddin', though. NOBODY owns a lifted truck that big and old and doesn't try it at least once. I'd get it, say the hell with A/C and roll the windows down. I've had my current truck over a year and have turned the A/C on once (during the test drive). I don't see what all the hype is about.

I live in san antonio, Tx. The AC will come in handy. Plus the wife would like a vehicle with AC just in case I hve to get the kids or something or she has to drive it.

i have talked to the people about the '01 white blazer they are offering it to me for 4500 what do you think abpout that price.

I'd check with NAPA,AutoZone,Advance,etc. on a new or reman. unit.

A 74 chevy stepside is worth way more than a 86 blazer, and is also in better shape, everything has been restored. They want over 4500 for the second one and 3700 for the third and you're going to complain about the third one's cost. Definately the third one (74 chevy stepside). A 74 stepside is much more rare than a 86 blazer. There's tons of blazers around here and you can bet one thing about everyone, and that's that it's seen its fair share of mud and broken drivetrain pieces.

In ALL reality, for a daily driver the blazer would be best, but I'd try to get them down to AT LEAST 4000.

How much would you offer for the third one?

 

For a stock '74 2wd truck?.....I can't see no more than a grand,if that.

The '74 is 12 years older,and its only 2wd,A stock '74 2wd truck just isn't worth much,especially compared to the '86 with 4wd.

    • Thank You Another JR, I watched the transmission temp the highest was 214, the engine temp seemed normal.  Hoping not a valve body issue, but...
    • dexos began as an effort for GM to control the oil change market because the Quick Lube Industry was eating into dealer service department profits big time. So they attempted to get other oem’s to develop standards as well and that would make it hard for Quick Lubes to compete because all the oems would be different. GM faced lot of industry push-back, mostly the quick-lube industry and they went to licenses. Still GM it making a ton of money (est'd 30-40 million in 2025) off the license structure as they charge a hefty fee to get oil tested then require a royalty on ALL gallons sold applicable to GM vehicles. 
    • Those are parts changers. It can get expensive though. I was a mechanic for 30 yrs. My truck has made this noise since new. I really don`t know what it is. It really doesn`t bother me. I`m still in warranty but have not brought it to the dealer.   I`m not buying the oil pump prime thing. Screw the TSB. I believe it`s in the trans pump gears. They rattle when that piss poor ULV oil drains off after a while. I believe those sharp tooth gears, with backlash, can rattle when dry. Not a vane style oil pump. Wonder who`s right? Me, or the TSB?🤔   Maybe I`m wrong?
    • Sounds about right. I miss the days of mechanics lol. 
    • On the PCM side, blue PCM connector, pin 18, solid gray color (no stripe) wire circuit 435.  That is the EGR low circuit which an issue on that line (be it the wiring, the PCM or the EGR valve or system performance) will trigger P0401 when it tests that code.     There is also a VERY old TSB that states to make sure you clear the DTCs ANY time the PCM is unplugged, reprogrammed, or if the EGR valve is unplugged or replaced as the PCM has an auto zero function in the PCM for the EGR pintle data   61-65-59: SMU - SECTION 6E - ENGINE CONTROLS - CLEAR DTC'S - (Nov 25, 1996)   "CLEAR ANY DTCS FROM THE VCM ANYTIME AFTER DOING VCM REPLACEMENT/ PROGRAMMING, TURNING THE IGNITION ON WHILE THE EGR VALVE IS DISCONNECTED, OR REPLACING THE EGR VALVE."   Some diagnostic aid notes in the GM diag on P0401 for a 1995 S10 Blazer:   Diagnostic Aids Notice: In order to prevent further damage if the EGR valve shows signs of excessive heat, check the exhaust system for blockage (possibly a plugged converter) using the procedure found on the restricted exhaust system check. If the exhaust system is restricted, repair the cause; one of which might be an injector which is open due to one of the following reasons: Stuck Grounded driver circuit Check the oil for possible fuel contamination if a stuck open fuel injector is found. Poor connection or damaged harness - Inspect VCM harness connectors for the following conditions: Backed out terminal BL 18 Improper mating Broken locks Improperly formed or damaged terminal Poor terminal to wire connection Damaged harness Intermittent test - If connections and harness check OK, monitor a digital voltmeter connected between terminal BL 18 and ground while moving related connectors and wiring harness. If the failure is induced, the voltage reading will change.
