Thanks My vote will go to the tacoma every time. Is there a connector that needs to be disconnected while setting the timing or are my valves that tempormental. To answer your question, it does appear to have small rear seats. My father-in-law just told me Thursday that a tree fell on it during the last storm. The Chevrolet K5 Blazer could be equipped with a 250 straight six up to a 350 V8, standard or automatic transmissions, and came in two or four wheel drive. This is why vehicle historians and even those who are fans of the original Blazer have a problem with this vehicle using the name. Unless you're getting bogging or hesitation while acclerating, I'd rule out the fuel filter being overly clogged.

For the first few years of their existence, the S10-Blazer and S10 trucks were woefully under powered and easily breakable if pushed too hard. To me it looks like a little door and might have some kind of seating.
Long gone are the V8s and solid axles to make way for modular seating, Wi-Fi, and small hybrid drivetrains. Bought it in '87, just out of the Army, and drove it until it wouldn't go anymore. You are thinking of the S10 Blazer which was not and is not what people think of when they hear the Blazer name. The long cranking time would lead me to check out the fuel pump first. The down fall to the blazer is it is old so many more things can go wrong with it but on the brighter side it is old so parts are cheaper and labor is a lot less or you are able to work on it yourself. Need some serious help on this one.
Being off-road capable means your Chevy K5 Blazer parts will wear down, so finding aftermarket replacement parts to keep it running is important. Set my timing multiple times and the truck fires right up and idles fine in park and drive but have no power to go when in gear. I'll throw the body in for free! I always thought they were the useless bastard of the truck world. A Toyota pickup has a usable bed and gets better fuel mileage and will go anywhere a Blazer will. Other types of parts for the Blazer have been easy to find, plentiful in variety, and usually inexpensive. The original Blazer was 1 of Chevy's better ideas and the 1st generation of the Blazer was a very good, even popular today with the 4X4 crowd. There is a wealth of information available on the site.
If it's reading a warmer temp than reality, then it won't add enough fuel to start in the cold temps. It's a '75 Jimmy High Sierra that's been sitting in the woods for 15 some years just waiting for the perfect tub to rebuild it. One other minor gripe is the protrusion of the wheel wells into the cargo area. This vehicle only has 158 thousand miles on it and was well maintained for as old as it is. I have triplet teens so the size of the back seat is great they all fit.
I still have scars on my shins from the trailer hitch, would manage to bang into it at least once a week. The advantage to owning a full size Chevrolet Blazer is obvious. The 1998 Blazers engine is easily accessible and most parts are with in reach. I think I'm just going to replace the cam and see what happens, I mean a new cam thats better than stock can't be but so bad. If a tree falls in the woods. It's a sensor that is usually located on the front towards the grille and on top of the engine. I have owned the Chevy Blazer for 2 years, I bought it used.
Other models that tend to be cross-shopped in the segment include the Kia Sorento, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Toyota Highlander, and Honda Pilot. I have hauled longer items by securing them to its standard luggage rack. In 1975, the removable hardtop was replaced with a half cab design. Any of you have any ideas for what I should check next? It was coroded up and read as if it was already warmed up at a cold start and caused alot of stumbling and a rough start, when left overnight. Point: this should be marketed as a niche vehicle.
Paul You may be able to cure it without a cam, provided it's not worn out. It also triggers a code in the diagnostic system at least as often as every 400 miles. You might consider using the web to answer your questions. The way something looks is as good as any other arbitrary metric but most people have to compromise and give into to utility and value. I have pulled larger loads in my tacoma, and mine had the 2.
We will see and if they do, how close to the concept it is. I have triplet teens so the size of the back seat is great they all fit. I had a similar situation with my 78 Silverado back in college and it wound up to be a bad spot on the starter's flywheel. The equinox is perfect, and great on gas, thee acadia is huge and bulky, lots of wasted space. In 1979, a second seat became standard, while second row seating remained optional.
