ball joints, pitman and idler arms, oil cooler lines leaking, intake gaskets leaking, fuel pressure up to specs and holding.

Re: Looking to buy 1998 Blazer
98 has some nice improvements over the 97 and previous but the fuel mileage sucks. Same motor and tranny - don't know why. Have had a 96 and still have and 97 and a 98.

Re: Looking to buy 1998 Blazer
in 98 they added a few more emission reduction parts which dropped the gas mileage so theres a few more parts to contend with

 These vehicles are inexpensive to buy used and I personally like them. They run great and are reliable. The parts are usually inexpensive too! I say go for it
