Among the highest rebates are $3,000 on the Chevrolet Blazer and Oldsmobile Bravada. Steve Host Vans, SUVs and Aftermarket & Accessories Message Boards |

Not only is there a $3000 rebate, you can also get another $1500 off a 2001 Bravada, if you have a 1996 or newer Oldsmobile via their Owner Loyalty Program. I'm tempted to trade my 1997 Bravada that has 54,000 miles and very few problems. There are few '01 Bravadas around and you also get a 5 year/60,000 mile GM warranty. Of course the '01 is "old" technology and when you go to sell it, Oldsmobile will be just a memory. Think I'll keep what I have. |

Just got my 97 Blazer back from the shop on July 6th now its going back on on July 24th. Transmission - Reverse is gone. The forward gears still work but shifting is erratic. I hope GM does a better design job with the new Trailblazer. This one is a flipping piece of cow dung. I do hope someone associated with GM reads through these groups. I've always been a loyal Chevy man but this is just too much. If I hadn't bought the extended warranty I'd have torched the damn thing by now and collected the insurance money.

The 1999 and on Blazer/Jimmy are excellent buys. Although the 2002 Envoy is the ultimate the 2001 is loaded with features at a much reduced price than the 2002. Good Luck! Of course, since this posting is much after the time you posted, have you purchased a vehicle by now, and what brand/make? Dick |

| No my niece hasn't purchased one of these suv's yet. She is still wondering about which is the most reliable. One of her friends had a 1998 blazer LS and had the worst trouble with it. The brakes wore out at 13,000 miles and then one day when traveling home from work the steering wheel began getting very hot and started smoking! This never got fixed by the dealer so she traded it in and got a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee so far no problems. So after that story she decided to rethink about getting the blazer. She likes the Mountaineer with the V8 and all-wheel drive. It seems to me that she will probably get that. She just has to wait and see if the dealer takes more money off either the blazer or cherokee so she will just wait a few more weeks before she makes a decision. | |
My Blazer has 55k on it, 4.3L, 4 speed Auto. While sitting at a stop light, the engine began to idle very rough. At speed the motor is running fine. The Check engine light has come on but I'm unsure of how to retrieve the codes. Any idea on what this is and how do I get the codes out.

I think you need some sort of computer scan tool to pull the codes from the computer, as well as a book that tells you what the code is. You'll then need to diagnose it from that. A service manual for your truck may be helpful. Or, you can just get your vehicle serviced at a GM dealership and let them deal with the problem. At the very least, they should be able to tell you what the problem is. Good luck and please keep us updated! Drew Host Vans, SUVs, and Aftermarket & Accessories message boards |
