1994 Chevy Blazer -- 6.5 liter turbo diesel.
I live in Missoula, Montana, but the vehicle has spent most of its life in Oregon and California.
About the Blazer:
1. Has a six disk cd player.
2. Has a PMD isolator (http://www.heathdiesel.com/P/HDP1280/).
3. Has a “chip” (http://www.heathdiesel.com/P/HDP1635/; I got it a few years ago, so might be an older version).
4. Has a turbo boost controller (http://www.heathdiesel.com/P/HDP1243/).
5. Power windows, power doors, power driver seat, power mirrors.
6. 4x4 (aka 4wd)
7. Automatic transmission
8. 152,000 miles
9. Starts well
10. Engine block heater
11. Recent brake work (new brakes).
12. Smittybilt step bars
13. Oil just changed
The bad:
1. Cracked windshield
2. some paint is chipped on the hood. A couple chunks under the lip of the hood are rather large and have started rusting.
3. Interior mostly clean. A couple of stains. More stains in rear/trunk due to biodiesel activities (hauling oil).
4. Three times, when the temperature was over 100 degrees when I lived in California, the engine would start for about one second, then stop, and would fail to restart. I have found a fix to this -- there is a small knob under the hood that I turn, then the car starts, then I close the knob. This has only happened three times under extreme heat and this has not occurred since summer of 2006.
Other:
1. This sucker fires up well, even in very cold temperatures. When it was -9 F, the Blazer started right up (but it was plugged in).
2. I have been running on biodiesel since I got it (I got it in 2004 or 2005). Lines between injectors have been changed to Viton. Runs and starts well on biodiesel.
3. Overall, the interior and the paint are very nice.
4. I am sad to let this go, but it is really too big for us and we wanted a more fuel efficient vehicle (got a Jeep liberty CRD).
5. I would not hesitate to hop in this sucker and drive across the country.
