200,000 on a Blazer? That's remarkable, for a Chevy. That wouldn't deserve notice if it were a 'yota. Just think, you could have logged those miles in a comfy Toy instead of a rattlebox Blazer.... My last Toyota-the Land Cruiser: purchased with 127,000 miles, drove the HELL out of it, and sold it at 267K. It did require a new tranny near the end of my tenure but it is still out there with a "new" factory 5-speed. I think Terry's has twice that mileage and is still going strong. Andy

(HOW long have you been reading Sleazewheeze's posts on Cave Tex???) Though not frequently challenged - my 21 yr old S-10 Blazer did turn 200,000 mi the other day. It's been holding its own while THREE other R-22 Toyota's I know of have lunched their motors FIVE times. (Something to be said of old technology - pushrods, low compression and large displacement. Maybe I just know how to treat my toys right.) -WaV On Thu, Oct 27, 2011 at 10:29 AM, Stefan Creaser <stefan.crea...@arm.com> wrote: > You mean you drove all that way for one snake and a couple of lizards? ;-) > > > > From: bmorgan...@aol.com [mailto:bmorgan...@aol.com] > > Despite it being a summer day it was cold as hell up there.
