UP FOR SALE IS MY SON'S 1997 4 DR BLAZER. BOUGHT IN 1997 WITH 75,000 MILES, NOW READS 114,000....LESS THAN 8000 MILES PER YR. OVER THE YEARS HAVE REPLACED THE RADIATOR, WATER PUMP, ALL BALL JOINTS, TIE RODS,IDLER,PITMAN ARM,SWAY BAR LINKS, THOSE ROTTEN LEAKY OIL COOLER LINES SO FAMILIAR TO 4.3 OWNERS, FULL IGNITION TUNE UP,SHOCKS, FULL EXHAUST,SEVERAL O2 SENSORS, BELT TENSIONER. IN LAST 18 MONTHS HAVE CHANGED REAR BRAKE LINES,TPS,FRONT BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS. AVERAGE OIL CHANGE INTERVAL AROUND 4200 MILES. NO RUST, TRANS SOLID, MOTOR STRONG (WITH AN ASTERISK....SEE BELOW), NO SMOKE. ABOUT 20000 MILES ON TIRES. NEW BATTERY 6 MONTHS AGO, NEW STARTER 2 MONTHS AGO. CLASS 3 HITCH. I DRIVE IT AS IS TO KEEP THE FLUIDS MOVING AND THE BATTERY CHARGED. TOOK IT OUT TO PA. LAST MONTH WITH NO PROBLEMS (ABOUT 170 MILES). INTERIOR IS PRETTY GOOD FOR 16 YEARS OLD.....NON-SMOKER OWNED.
NOW FOR THE BAD STUFF...THE ASTERISK REFERS TO THE DREADED CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BLAZER OWNERS ALL KNOW AND LOVE. I GOT A PO CODE FOR A MISFIRE (CYLINDER 2, I THINK) AND FIGURED IT NEEDED IGNITION STUFF AGAIN A FEW MONTHS AGO. CHANGED WIRES, PLUGS, CAP, ROTOR, AND THREW IN A NEW COIL FOR THE HELL OF IT. RAN MUCH BETTER, BUT STILL HAS THE LIGHT AND A ROUGH IDLE/MISS. RUNS STRONG ON THE ROAD WITH NO DETECTABLE MISS, BUT LIGHT NEVER GOES OUT AND THE IDLE ALWAYS SUCKS. MECHANIC FRIEND SAYS IT IS MOST LIKELY A CLOGGED INJECTOR, BUT I DON'T HAVE ANY MORE TIME OR PATIENCE FOR DEALING WITH THAT....MY SON GOT A NEWER RIDE AND I HAVE MY OWN 2 CARS TO WORK ON AND CURSE AT. INJECTORS ARE UNDER PLENUM AND REQUIRE REMOVAL OF INTAKE ASSEMBLY TO REPAIR. IF YOU'RE GONNA GO FOR THAT MUCH TROUBLE, YOU SHOULD CHANGE THE WHOLE SPIDER ASSEMBLY (AROUND$280) AND FORGET ABOUT IT FOR ANOTHER 100,000 MILES.
OTHER STUFF: THE STANDARD BLAZER & 4.3 IDIOSYNCRASIES - TICKY VALVES WHEN STARTED COLD (LIKE THAT SINCE WE BOUGHT IT), VACUUM CONTROL OR SWITCH FOR 4WD INTERMITTENT...TRANSFER CASE GOOD, 4WD RARELY USED BUT DOES WORK WHEN IT WANTS TO.....WISH THEY HAD LEFT THEM WITH MANUAL CONTROL LIKE THE OLD ONES...THEY ALWAYS WORKED RIGHT. REQUIRED CLUNKING FROM THOSE DAMN TORSION BARS....MOST OF THE REST OF THE FRONT END ONLY HAS ABOUT 25000 MILES ON IT. LOTS OF CENTER PLAY IN STEERING BOX...MIGHT BE ADJUSTABLE, NEVER TRIED.
SMALL PAINT BLISTERS AROUND FUEL FILLER DOOR (NO ACTUAL RUST), A FEW DINGS AND DANGS. 1 SMALL SEPARATION OF FABRIC ON DRIVER'S SEAT...SEE PIC
ALL IN ALL, WOULD MAKE A GOOD CHEAP WINTER STATION CAR, BEATER OR TOW MULE. GREAT FIRST TANK FOR A KID.....HEAVY, SLOW AND LOUSY ON GAS TO KEEP HIM OR HER FROM WANTING TO DRIVE TOO MUCH....FULL FRAME AND LOTS OF STEEL TO ABSORB IMPACT...ALONG WITH ABS AND AIR BAGS.
I'VE DONE THE BEST I COULD TO DESCRIBE THIS CAR ACCURATELY....PLEASE REMEMBER IT IS 16 YEARS OLD AND FAR FROM PERFECT....SALE IS "AS IS, WHERE IS"...PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO COME CHECK OUT THE CAR IF YOU ARE SERIOUS.....I DON'T WANT ANY AFTER SALE PROBLEMS
NO RESERVE....THIS CAR WILL SELL ! DON'T MISS OUT ON A GOOD BEATER....OVER $3000 IN PARTS CHANGED SINCE WE'VE OWNED IT....$600 SINCE LAST SUMMER....THATS PARTS ALONE...MY LABOR THROWN IN FOR FREE ! A LOT THERE TO WORK WITH AT A CHEAP PRICE !
P.S. - PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DON'T BID IF YOU ARE NOT READY TO BUY....IT IS NOT FAIR TO SERIOUS BUYERS.

2014 Chevrolet Cruze TD fires up its new diesel motor
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Ever since General Motors confirmed plans to produce a diesel-powered Cruze back in 2011, we've been eagerly awaiting its arrival. And as part of the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, Chevrolet has pulled back the cover on its oil-burning compact sedan, set to go on sale in the near future with a starting price of $25,695, not including $810 for destination.
The heart and soul of the Cruze TD (that's its official name) is a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline four-cylinder engine rated at 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, mated solely to a six-speed automatic transmission. The engine also has an overboost function that will increase torque to 280 lb-ft for up to ten seconds. The full brace of official specs haven't been released, but GM tells us that highway fuel economy will come in at 42 miles per gallon. If that number sounds familiar, it's because the Volkswagen Jetta TDI has the exact same rating. Unlike the Jetta, however, the Cruze TD can run on B20 biodiesel, where as the Volkswagen can only accept B5.
Model-specific changes to this 2014 Cruze TD include an aero kit and unique 17-inch alloy wheels. Inside, there's a full leather interior, and Chevrolet will provide two years of complimentary scheduled maintenance, not to mention a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
Car Club USA: Louisiana Mudfest
Tue, Jun 16 2015There's nothing quite like mudding. Big tires, huge power, and crazy-wild gearheads that like to throw down on a mud pit almost as much as a thirty rack of Coors. In the latest, and some might argue greatest yet episode of Car Club USA, we head to Louisiana to throw some dirt at Mudfest. As Louisiana's one and only Mouth of the South puts it, "If you don't mud ride... go to Texas I guess." Joining The Mouth and friendly rivals The Most Hated Mud Sluts, we dive in. Beyond the obvious V8 blasting and tractor-tire spinning, those who know best describe Mudfest as, "Good cooking, good friends, good fun, and a lot of partying." It's a motorsport spectacle unlike any you're likely to find up North or out West, though no less impressive to behold. Follow along with the fun, the impromptu drag racing, the trash talking, and the mechanical madness. And find out why, at Mudfest, "if we don't tear it up, we ain't done it right." Each Car Club USA episode features a different car club or event from across the US, where passionate owner communities gather to share automotive experiences and embark on incredible adventures. From Main Street cruises to off-road trails, catch all the latest car club activity on Autoblog. Chevrolet Ford Jeep RAM Truck Off-Road Vehicles Car Club USA Videos autoblog black
