Hi Tom.
You don't know me, although (from lurking) I feel as if I know you.
Meanwhile, I owned one of these blazers. It was the second biggest POS I ever owned (and I have owned a lot of cars including a BMW). The only vehicle I owned which was more problematic/full of recalls was a '93 ford mustang. (I actually traded the mustang for the blazer in 96). I traded the blazer back in for a suburban in 98.
So... my advice is to stay away from the blazer.
--humbly.
