FOR SOME REASON I CANNOT CHANGE BLAZER IN TITLE.. THIS IS NOT A BLAZER AND NEVER WAS. THIS IS A S10 Xtreme. What we have here is a Chevy S10 Xtreme 2.2 Liter Stick Shift Base Model. A little history on the vehicle: I bought the vehicle with approximately 50 thousand miles on it from a Virginia seller here on Ebay. The gentleman who owned the vehicle was actually middle aged and was battling cancer. After the pass of this gentleman, the vehicle was left to his elderly neighbor who would not drive a vehicle like this type since she was elderly. I saw the vehicle on Ebay and fell in love with it approximately 10 years ago. I went to Virginia and purchased the vehicle. I have used this vehicle for many years to get through all my years of my college education, started a mobile auto detailing business with this vehicle, and got back and forth to the police academy with this vehicle. Now in my thirties and owning multiple business, and working as a police officer, I have simply acquired way to many vehicles and cannot drive them all. I hate to keep seeing this nice little truck sit and never get used. THIS IS A GREAT LITTLE TRUCK, BUT NOT A PERFECT TRUCK. I am an honest seller and will be as detailed as possible so you as the buyer are fully aware of what the truck is and is not.
As you can see it no longer has the Xtreme body kit on the vehicle. I lowered the truck an additional 2 inches in the front and three in the rear. Once in a white I would scrape the body kit and it would be difficult to get into some steep areas, so therefore I removed the kit. The holes from the kit on the side of the body where welded shut and body work was completed along with paint. As you can see on the rear of the vehicle, the tailgate has been removed and a California type of roll pan/skin was installed. About every two or three years, as you can see in the pictures, the rear needs to be redone. No matter what body shop completes the fix, minor rust spots and cracking occur as you can see.
BODY OF VEHICLE: I would say the body is decent for the year. As you can see there are no major dents or dings and scratches are to a minimal if any. I never liked to park near anyone to avoid the dings and scratches on the vehicle, to body I would say is clean for its age. The hood on the vehicle was replaced and there are some rock chips on the hood and bumper. The hood is a aftermarket hood and there are a couple small dents to the front of the hood that are almost not noticeable. There is some small touch up spots on the body that can be done with some touch up paint, and the rear roll pan area can be fixed. I think for a truck this old with higher mileage, the body is exceptional. As you can see there is a hitch installed on the vehicle with a wiring kit. This was used to pull a small open trailer that had a water tank on it for a detailing business that I still on.
Headlights: Cloudy. I will sand and polish them if the vehicle sells to restore as much clarity as possible.
Bed Cover. Has a bed rug carpet and a soft black bed cover. The bed cover bolt broke, so a new bolt/mechanism will have to be bought and installed if the new owner wants the rear bed cover to lock, but is not needed. The bed cover actually is only a few months ago, but the one peice broke on the cover not allowing me to actually lock it down.
INTERIOR. Missing speaker covers since I always felt that the speakers were compromised of sound from the covers. This vehicle had a rubber floor from the factory and I installed a carpet. I dyed the carpet to make it black and will dye it again for any touch up issues if the vehicle sells. The door panels were also dyed with plastic dye to make them black since they were a dark gray when I got the vehicle. Had a subwoofer in the vehicle, but no longer. Wires are still there along with one amp as you can see which is included. Has a hurt shifter that the first owner installed and stayed in the truck ever since. Minor dash board crack, steering wheel peeling on top (can put steering wheel cover over to hide). Has Chevy caviler seats installed in the vehicle and stock Chevy floor mats.
SUSPENSION: New shocks in the rear, beltech 3 inch drop blocks and 2” drop spindles. Everything else is stock Chevy S10 Xtreme suspension.
Mechanical: A lot of small issues that I KNOW ABOUT AND CAN SEE.
1.ABS light on: I pulled fuse because I hate anti lock brakes. Will re install fuse so light goes off.
2. Oil Pressure Senor. I replaced the sensor and the gauge still goes wacky sometimes. This is my third s10 and they are known to do this. Sometimes reads high, sometimes low, sometimes dead on, really don’t know if I got a defective new sensor or another issues. Been like this for approx 4 years now, just doesn’t bother me.
3. Exhaust : Gibson exhaust cut back for roll pan. Small leak in down pipe of exhaust in which I can get fixed if the vehicle sells. Must allow at least 4 days for me to get this repaired if buyer desires. Leak issue will be fixed at down pipe.
4. Brakes: I feel one brake caliper is beginning to stick when I drive the vehicle. Will replace the bad caliber and replace brake pads if necessary.
5. Underneath. I feel the underneath of the body is in great condition. Appears that a new seal can be put in at the rear diff. I always checked this, and level was always near spot on. Appears that surface rust is on rear diff cover and possible slow leak at bottle of cover, but during oil changes never had issue of extreme low fluid.
6. Steering box. The steering in the wheel had been loose for years now. This is a common Chevy issue again in which I replaced the whole front end. Spline, tie rods, ball joints, link etc, but steering was still sloppy. I believe the steering box is just worn and needs to be replaced. I drove it this way for years because it does not bother me to the extent to replace it. Can be replaced or left alone.
7. Wiring Harness for trailer hitch. Have a new one which will be included in sale. Needs to be replaced because of age if you are going to tow something. If not no replacement is needed. A simple 10 minute install, I just have not done it because I no longer drive the vehicle. 8. Check engine light was on then went off. I went to the store to scan the code and the oxygen sensor came up. The light went off and never came back on. We do not need emissions here, so I left it alone. Appears that gas mileage an performance did not change.
9. Engine cannot be power washed. As a detailer I always wash and dress my engines. From day one, this vehicle engine bay cannot get wet, or it will not start for an hour or so. I know the owner who passed installed after market intake, throttle body spacer and some type of performance chip so the car can be tuned. The truck will never bed fast as it is the slow, but reliable 2.2 liter, so I never touched this stuff. My buddy has the same truck with 400,000 miles on the original motor. These motors are known to go for many miles, one of the best motors Chevy ever made.
Overall. I really feel the truck is a decent little truck. We been through a lot together and has NEVER broke down on me. Yes it needs some work, but I feel that the work needed is minor and can be done with a short amount of time. I am good with mechanics, but the truck may needs small things that I cannot see or hear. I stated the issues that I know need to be fixed. I did not do a full inspection of everything on the vehicle. When things gave me problems on the vehicle I replaced them such as the following.
New Shock I rear New Clutch Front End Replacement Drive Shaft Components Starter Alternator Brakes, Pads Change Oil Anti Freeze Clutch Fluid Rear End Fluid
Why am I selling this vehicle? I simply have to many vehicles, do not have time to drive this vehicle, and have other projects I’m involved in. I no longer want to see this vehicle sit and never driven, it is a shame. I hope a younger individual can acquire this vehicle and smile the way I did over the last 10 years of driving the vehicle. Gets a lot of looks on the highway and lowered suspension handles like a dream.
QUESTIONS. EMAIL OR CALL 570-807-2019. I am an honest seller and want to express everything I know about this vehicle and not hide anything!!! |

Engine block heater issues force GM to recall 324,226 diesel heavy duty trucks
Tue, May 7 2019General Motors has issued a recall on 324,226 diesel heavy duty trucks that could be susceptible to short circuits, and consequently, potential fire. The recall affects several models of heavy duty Chevrolet Silverados and GMC Sierras with optional engine block heaters. GM is recalling seven different truck models spread across three years. The recall affects the 2017-2019 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, 2017-2019 Silverado 3500HD, 2019 Silverado 4500HD, 2019 Silverado 5500HD, and 2019 Silverado 6500HD, plus the 2017-2019 GMC Sierra 2500HD and 2017-2019 Sierra 3500HD. Specifically, it includes these models with the 6.6-liter Duramax diesel engines and the optional engine block heater. The recall technically deals not with the engine block heater itself, but the way it is connected. According to NHTSA campaign No. 19V328000, the engine block heater cord or the terminals that link the cord to the heater could short circuit. A short circuit could potentially damage engine components and result in a fire. According to The Detroit News, 19 fires have been reported but nobody has been injured. GM has yet to figure out a fix, and thus has not yet released a notification schedule for affected customers. If you believe your vehicle is part of the recall, contact GM customer service at 1-586-596-1733 and use reference number N182206310.
Leno drives Ringbrothers' latest, 1966 Chevy Chevelle Recoil
Tue, Mar 3 2015Jay Leno has been checking out quite a few older rides in his garage as of late, but has mixed things up a little this week. Ringbrothers took home an award at the 2014 SEMA Show for the 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle it named Recoil, and now the car has proven it can do more than just look good on Jay Leno's Garage. While the latest guest might look vintage, underneath those classic lines is a thoroughly modern muscle car sporting a claimed 980 horsepower. The heart of this beast is a supercharged LS7 V8 from Wegner Motorsports and a six-speed Tremec manual gearbox. Even with so much power, it can still run on 91-octane pump gas, and when Jay gets on the throttle the result is a wall of sound from the wailing supercharger. Despite the muscle, the Recoil doesn't really scream about its performance aesthetically. The color is a surprisingly plain beige, but the carbon fiber touches and side exhaust certainly indicate that there's something special here. The owner's sole request for the car was to include metal seats, and Ringbrothers provided them with a few bits of leather offering a touch of comfort. After checking the Recoil out from stem to stern, Leno finally gets behind the wheel and treats our ears to pull after pull from that big, supercharged V8.
