Yea this one was a 5.4 . I spoke to three mechanics who said they don't like that motor. The spark plugs tend to blow out of the head. Incidentally, that is what just happened to my car for me to be looking for a new one.

Thanks for the replies guys. I appreciate it. The hunt is on. It is much better to go buy a car when you don't need one though.

My new ride. 2001 Blazer 1 1/2 inch lift in front 2 inch in back with 31 inch General Grabbers. Custom lights, fog lights, Flowmasters and lots of road noise. It beats the Jetta, I just killed, by a mile. Happy as a mofo and my wife actually likes it too which is a serious bonus as she is anti-truck.

They are great trucks. I had a 1/2 a dozen Blazers from 1994 to 2001. Went to the TrailBlazer in 2002. The only problem I had with the Blazers was the front end. I must have had 6 or 7 ball joints, upper and lower replaced on all the years mentioned. Other than that they are great on the beach. I ran the Back Beaches every weekend then and I never had a probelm.

No boat, back in the suds.
