1999 Chevrolet Blazer LS 4.3 vortec V6 from North America
Summary:
Definitely real Chevy performance
Faults:
I replaced the head gaskets at 100000 miles, and had a few engine sensors replaced, but that's about it.
General Comments:
True American truck. It sure uses gas, but the 4 wheel drive is excellent in snow. It's a rocket up to 40 and then it's slow, but it's a true real truck.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I have a 99 Blazer as well. I work on mine by myself. Mechanics are expensive. Might want to consider getting your hands dirty sometimes. I could have done all the same work for less than half of that.
Chevy is cheap... everyone knows this... but parts are generally cheap for Chevys... They're so easy to work on; a young kid could do it. I am 20, and I started working on Chevy trucks at age 14 with no help. Ford or Dodge are more expensive vehicles, and still have their own issues. Plain and simple, I tried Dodge and Ford, and I think I'm sticking to my Chevy; cheap to fix and easy to work on...
