Re: Fuel Mileage Hi Jeff Kleb, great offer to get a vehicle from someone who you wouldn't worry about buying from, but I may be insane if I keep the Blazer that long!!! (But I'll keep it in mind incase I end out holding off for longer than planned.)

Blazer troubles - our lists are darn near identical but mine had the majority of the troubles before 80K. It has been comparatively better since then, but I've lost faith in the vehicle since whenever I feel I can breath easy the bloody thing throws me a curve ball. Guys, great info. ? What's...

good stuff to think about I am a pretty mellow driver so the V8 diff in mpg could be quite minimum. Also a good point that the 4.7 V8 has been around for quite some time. I don't tow much weight wise and I am even selling my boat :-( this spring. We adopted last year and it left us a bit more...

late spring or early summer I will be buying an 03 or 04 4Runner. In searching the web I see quite a few V8's for sale. I've gotten by with my 98 Blazer and a V6 for many years and I am sure the 4Runner V6 is light years ahead of it. So I question if I really "need" a V8. However, the vehicle I...
