1987 Chevrolet Blazer Tahoe 2.8 Ltr from North America
Summary:
Rusty bargain
Faults:
84,000 Original miles.
Body badly rusted (good old American construction).
Headliner droops, had to staple to keep up.
Factory Delco still works, have to push power button a few times before it turns on though.
Tailgate Lock mechanism does not open tailgate or tailgate window, have to use the inside tailgate window button.
Power windows work, but drivers side does need help going all the way down.
Had to replace rear break line ($200).
Replaced both fuel injectors ($100 Ebay special)
Leaks oil from the valve covers.
Replaced Cat and exhaust ($350)
Have to hold up tailgate window with head per shocks shot.
General Comments:
Overall is a good vehicle has not cost a lot as far as repairs.
We call him "Bullet hole bob" per the rust, the drivers side has a rust hole the size of a fist.
Only has 84,000 miles on it, too bad previous owner did not take care of him.
Has the scary 2.8 Liter engine with an automatic trans, has enough power till you get to a hill or incline.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Ah yes - the all powerful 2.4 cubic inch motor. Could you mean 2.4L?
