I have had this truck for over 6 years and it has been comfortable, great on gas mileage, had a smooth ride. I have packed 3 large suitcases, camping and fishing gear, dog stuff, snacks, blankets and pillows in the rear compartment and it fit well and still had power to go thru the mountains. Jun 06, 2014

May not have a fancy audio system, or nifty lights as it is older, but if you want a roomy, comfortable SUV this would be it. Great on gas, and has a smooth ride. Can pack the whole rear compartment and still have a smooth ride and room for 5.Jun 06, 2014

The truck is big enough to fit five adult in comfortably, but small enough to not absolutely crush the bank account on gas. The 4.3 vortec engine is surprisingly strong for a V6 and supplies more than enough torque for off-roading fun.
I was disappointed that the transmission broke at 188,XXX miles...especially since its a known issue GM should have probably fixed via a recall. But if that's the only real issue I have, then no big deal.Aug 07, 2013

Its a good rig for a family. I would recommend it to any family looking for a good
vehical. Reliable, tough, ballsy and looks good. Everything you need in a car. Deff
would buy another one. I love it. DoneJan 27, 2013

Powerful motor. 4x4 had issues from day 1. I didnt like the automatic
climate
contol. Never really got the temp right and i just swapped from hot to
cold alot.
Too many sensor for stupid stuff like lights and crap. Just annoyed me
more than
anything. Defrosting mirrors was pretty cool tho. Overall still not bad, I
just like simpler things. NEVER attempt the ball joints...Jun 10, 2012

Fun to drive espically in the winter time. Easily gets sideways even for the little 4.3. Although the gas mileage sucks its been alot of places and it always filled with fun times. Your only allowed to have 5 legally in there but ive managed to fit 10 in it with 2 12"s and amp. Dec 15, 2010

Awesome SUV this is my second blazer, first one was a 97' LT 4X4, never had any problems with either of them. would buy another. Goes through the rough Iowa winters with ease, bad this is it likes to eat brakes.Aug 25, 2010

Alright this car is Beast in the snow and bad terrain. The bad part is that the 4wd sticks, the car goes through Front end parts, and is not gas efficient. otherwise it looks nice and it performs well. I would tell people to get this car if they want a cruiser. Some of the options in aftermarket parts can make this a really fine ride.Apr 07, 2010

i like the fact that i can fit about 800 - 1200 pounds of tools in the back of the truck. And it only cost me 3500. I have alot of fun offroading in it. And for work it gets me into alot of places normal cars couldnt get.Nov 10, 2009

Not many people like this vehicle, but I love it. The clutch is a piece of cake. I guess one bad thing is the gas mileage, but its paid off and fun to drive! Plus I can take it off-road.Jul 03, 2009

had it fr over 10 years it has been to Virgina a few times, and made the treck from new york to Arizona and back and I would still trust it to get me there again. Although it has some minor electrical problems, it's been a great truckJun 23, 2009

The look i added ZR2 rims and yokohama 235's on it. I also took the brush gaurd off my old one and put it on this blazer. I also got it for only 2500 with 75,000 so the price was sweetApr 30, 2009

Performance - Accelerates at average rate, it can go up to 130 mph.
Quality - its a unibody which makes it strong in case of a crash and the only problem I've had is the backing plate was making scrathing noises but that was fixed.
Appearance - I think that the car has a though look about, I mean its nothing compared to my chevelle but for a daily driver its ok.
Cost - I didn't pay anything because my Dad owns J&V Auto Salvage in WHB and Southampton. I would guess it would probably be a little more than $10,000 but im not sure.

I got this car from my dad it now has 160000 miles on it and still runs like a beast.I love it in general, have never had any problems. the only thing that I indeed hate it the rattly plastic interior. other than that it is an enjoyable ride and i love my very nice custom sound system in the blazer.Aug 14, 2008

mine had alot of custom worlk done like a cowl hood, cold air, custom paint. I got anywere from 25 to 30 mpgs highway and it only cost $40 to fill the tank at todays gas prices. the 4.3 was a very reliable engine that even ran upside down ( the reason I had to part with the car) very stable and controlable for an suv.

Never had a car get over 200,000 miles on it before and still run like it's almost brand new. Maybe the constant oil changes make the difference, but I have been hard on this car at times and it just keeps going and going. Love it, just wish it got better gas mileage.Jun 19, 2008

it does real good off road till you get into a good bind then the limited slip front and rear can get you into trouble real fast, it is real good on the road it drives real smooth considerin i have a lift and mud tires so overall i think this is a good vehical for your hunters and outdoors people and maybe the soccer mom who needs to drive in snow, but not your hardcore offroader, unless you build the balls out of itJan 12, 2008

The 1998 Blazer is a good all-around vehicle. Not too big but a large enough cargo area and fold down seats to haul things in.May 10, 2007

I bought it to replace my 96 Ford Explorer LTD. I really loved that vehicle with all of the options. But I have to say that this Blazer is only missing a few of the options that the Explorer LTD. has. I like the classy look the Blazer has. It is wonderful on gas so much better. I haven't owned a chevrolet before but I guarantee it won't be the last. I really love it. I haven't tried towing anything yet, but I'm sure I won't be disappointed. There is my 19 yr. old daughter, myself and our 2 German Shepherds who ride in it and there is still quite a bit of room left. We all love it. It is so nice having the privacy glass in the back and sides to keep the dogs so much cooler than the 96 Ford Explorer Ltd. The one thing I was totally shocked by was the power of the A/C, I was really concerning about only having the A/C in the front, because I have a $25,000 Nov 20, 2006

1998 chevy blazer wont start
had a 98 blazer that ran perfect until it was stolen. they ripped the radio out and wrecked the dash. ran good after i got it back for two weeks then wouldn't start after i locked it. boyfriend got it to start and it ran for 2 days. hadnt ran since. weve replaced the bcm, the ignition lock cylinder, spark plugs, fuses, wiring harness. the lights all turn on when on and the passlock security light remains lit. weve gotten different keys and tried a bypass as well. it turns on and fuel pump goes on but no start.

on a 1998 Chevy Blazer the switch is on 2 x 2 how do I know when to switch to 4 x 4?
I recently was driving and it had been snowing and noticed my car was not handling very well.....some fish tailing, etc... wanted to know if it would be okay to push the button that said 4 x 4 while I was moving at a slow pace or do I need to come to a complete stop first
