Also 4.3 Vortec engine are known for leaking intake manifold gasket problems. There have been a lot of them fail and GM did redesign the gasket a few years ago because of this. The leak coolant to outside or cranlcase when they fail. TBI 4.3's did not have this problem and while some did tend to leak, it was a mild oil leak on back of engine, not a coolant leak. If left stock (no lifts or oversized tires) those old S10 blazers are fairly sturdy. ----------------- TheSnoMan.com yes hello to update you i actually bought a 1990 nissan pathfinder because the ratings were awesome . blazer have a good motor but that s about it . i bought it for 2000$ with a new set of 31 tires,so i jump on it !!minor problems but compensated by the price thanks all |
