Tips Membeli Opel/Chevrolet Blazer

Tips Membeli Opel/Chevrolet Blazer

A. BODY :

1. Pastikan body dalam keadaan baik, yaitu dengan mengetuk bagian dari body : apakah sudah terdapat dempul pada bagian tersebut. secara kasat mata, bisa dilihat dari bayangan / pantulan body tsb apakah bergelombang atau masih flat / rata. nampak juga apabila bodi yang telah di sol dan menggunakan dempul untuk meratakan, akan sedikit kelihatan gemuk (memang dibutuhkan kejelian tersendiri).

2. Up pron pada bagian dalam kap mesin. pastikan semua lipatan / tekukan dari bidang penampang di kanan kiri bawah kap mesin, adalah lipatan pabrik. akan nampak apabila mobil tsb pernah tubrukan, bisa jadi lipatan / tekukan hilang karena di dempul atau bergelombang / keriting karena di ketok.

3. DOHC 1997 wajib ber lis body memanjang dari depan hingga belakang dan lis chroom pada ke empat spatbornya. jangan lupa foot step yang asli adalah foot step yang menyatu dengan mud flag (jawa : kepet roda). foot step asli bukan ber merk dadone atau f1.

B. DASHBOARD / KELISTRIKAN :

Pastikan seluruh panel hidup (akan lebih sip) yaitu : power window, central lock, fog lamp, lampu pendek, jauh, petunjuk bensin, petunjuk tempratur, petunjuk tekanan oli, petunjuk pengisian amper, rpm, interior lamp, petunjuk suhu luar & arah mata angin dan YANG TERPENTING : ac kudu adem. beserta switch tempratur ac : apakah masih original menggunakan yang di dashboard atau sudah dirobah pakai switch di laen tempat (biasa di deket blower depan).

C. INTERIOR :

DOHC 1997 interior kulit pada jok dan door trimnya. plafond dari bahan beludru halus. pastikan karpet masih berwarna cerah dengan serat besar (aslinya). hindari karpet dengan warna eks kebanjiran maupun yang terbuat bukan dari bahan aslinya.

D. MESIN :

1. Indikator tekanan oli, ada di pojok kiri bawah. Range dari 0 sampe 500 kpa (maks). Yg dicari adalah : sekitar 5 menit pertama setelah mesin nyala, jarum harus mendekati 500 kpa (maks). Semakin mentok semakin bagus. Tapi RPM harus stabil di 900. Ini beda nya ama sebagian mobil lain. Mobil lain, ada choke otomatis, awal2 mesin nyala, RPM naik diatas 1000, lama2 baru turun lagi. Di blazer, RPM tetap 900 tapi tekanan olie maks di 500 kpa. Setelah 5 menit an, tekanan oli perlahan2 turun ke 250 (tegak lurus arah jam 12), tapi kalo pedal gas ditekan, jarum melejit ke 500 kpa, dan mulai saat ini jarum bergerak berdasarkan RPM dgn batas minimum 250 kpa.

2. Indikator tegangan listrik (voltmeter), ada di pojok kanan bawah. Yg dicari adalah tegangan yg stabil di 14v lewat dikit (jarum tegak lurus jam 12, miring dikit kekanan tapi masih nempel di strip angka 14). Nyalakan semua lampu, audio, AC dll, jarum harus diam tidak bergerak. Hindari mobil yg jarum voltmeternya tidak diam.
3. Indikator temperatur, ada di KIRI atas. Blazer yg dicari adalah blazer yg jarum indikator nya naik pelan2 dari 0 ke 102 derajat butuh waktu sekitar 10-15 menit. Kemudian xtra fan nyala, sekitar 2-3 menit jarum harus turun ke 80. Nyalakan AC, dalam kondisi idle jarum harus stabil di 80 (jika AC nyala). (Asumsi system pendingin masih original, belum di modif). No. 1-3 tsb sangat penting...
4. Suara mesin saat fan mati, harus halus, sehalus mobil sedan 1500 CC. Jgn lupa periksa kekentalan oli. Jangan2 mesin halus karena pake oli gardan.
5. Tes jalan dan rasakan apakah ada body getar dari rpm 0 sampe rpm atas. Hindari body yg selalu geter di rpm OR kmh tertentu.
6. Pindah dan jongkok ke dekat ban belakang kiri. Dengerkan suara fuel pump, hindari mobil yg suara fuel pump nya terdenger seperti lebah. Karena itu ciri fuel pump mau "lewat/Rusak/ bronjol/koil dan lain lain".
7. Tes jalan buat mengetest fungsi Rem ABS dan fungsi Active Safety Belt nya. Apakah bekerja optimal atau nggak.
8. Selain yg 7 itu, test nya sama aja dgn mobil2 lain. Periksa AC, kaki2, setir, dll.

Mesin DOHC-LT tahun 1999

E. KELEMAHAN
Kelemahan blazer yg mencolok ada di fuel pump. Kate dukunnya, 90% dari blazer yg mogok di jalan disebabkan fuel pump. Terus AC nya susah dingin, karena evaporator ada diruang mesin. Katenye sih itu buat safety. Tidak ada bagian dari sistem pendinginan yg letaknya dalam kabin penumpang/dashboard . Ntah itu bener, ntah alasan doang..

Solid-Axle Swapping - A 1996 Chevy S10 Blazer

Micro Machines Monster Truck

We think Mike Gold's brother said it best when he came through the doors of Revolution Vehicle Dynamics, looked at our S-10 Blazer, and said, "That looks like a Micro Machines monster truck!" With 35-inch Baja Claws sitting under it, our little Chevy certainly was looking tough.

We decided to make some drastic changes to our '96 S-10 Blazer last month. The IFS suspension parts had worn out, the brakes were shot, the steering was all over the place, and the Almighty Dime had basically been parked until we could do something.

That “something” ended up being a solid-axle swap for our mini Blazer. While it would have been nice to keep the 4WD independent front suspension and done some type of long-travel kit, we're not aware of any kits currently available, and the cost of fabricating one would be more than our S-10 is worth (which is no excuse: We often buy parts worth more than our trucks). A few people suggested getting rid of the 4WD and putting a 2WD long-travel kit on, but losing such an advantageous thing like four-wheel drive seems unreasonable to us. Our Almighty Dime sees more than just desert, and while it may not be able to go quite as fast off road (with a solid axle), a four-wheel-drive solid-axle setup will allow us to do everything we want to do while not being too expensive to boot.

We did some research, gathered some Wagoneer Dana 44 axles, Wagoneer front springs, a Sky's Offroad Design SAS (solid-axle swap) hanger kit, and a few other incidentals we needed to make this all work smoothly. Mike Gold at Revolution Vehicle Dynamics in Apple Valley, California, assembled the pieces, built a steering draglink to connect to the Wagoneer axle's tie rod, and bolted some Rancho Pro Series shocks and Mickey Thompson 35-inch Baja Claws onto the Almighty Dime. Our mini Blazer was ready for an initial shakedown run that ended shortly after realizing how much it wandered.

While the project was moving under its own power, there was (is) definitely still work to do.

Our two real problems were front suspension wandering and front-wheel drive.

After the first run, there was no question that the SUV needed a front track bar. Mike fabbed one up and we went back out for another round of testing, only to tweak the stock front Wagoneer leaf springs. This left our S-10 sitting low in front and slightly angled to one side. After we add some new Rancho 44044 Wagoneer front springs, the front should be back up to the correct height.

As for the front-wheel drive issue: We ran into a problem we weren't expecting with the long slip-yoke (not fixed) output shaft on the front of the S-10's NP233C transfer case. None of our local driveshaft shops could make us a front driveshaft that would work for our solid-axle swap. The first option we thought of was to swap the T-case. There are adapters available to put a few different transfer cases in back of our S-10's 4L60-E transmission, but our recently rebuilt NP233C is electronically shifted via a dash knob and already in the truck. Keeping the stock transfer case is definitely going to be the easiest route, if possible. A little more S-10 T-case research revealed that there are many similarities between the NP233C found in S-10s and the NP231J transfer case found in Cherokees. Other S-10 owners have had success swapping a front output from a Cherokee T-case into the NP233C, so we're in the process of tracking down a donor NP231J now.

It is close to done, but the Almighty Dime project is not quite finished. It's reached a point where it is stable at 65 mph and can handle prerunning duties with almost no tire rub. But some better bumpstops, lower gears, and most importantly four-wheel drive would complete our Almighty Dime.

• 
  1. Our S-10’s solid-axle swap revolves around 1980-and-later Jeep Wagoneer Dana 44 axles. Using them would give us an axle strength upgrade, a brake upgrade, and a suspension that was better suited for off-road use.
• 
  2. We used a Sky’s Offroad spring hanger kit to get the front Wagoneer axle on. Mike Gold of Revolution Vehicle Dynamics built a rod end draglink to connect to the stock tie rod of the front Dana 44 Wagoneer axle. He reused the original pitman arm on the steering box by modifying it to accept a rod end.
• 
  3. Since the Wagoneers had all-wheel-drive setups, there were no locking hubs on the front axle we swapped. We added a set of stainless-steel Mile Marker lockout hubs to the Dana 44 to give us 2WD/4WD capability.

• 
  4. To get the rear axle driven by the transfer case, all we had to purchase was a conversion U-joint to get from the original S-10 driveshaft to the swapped-in Dana 44 rear axle. We’ll have to change the driveshaft completely if we decide to do a fixed-yoke kit in the rear of our NP233C transfer case (recommended).
• 
  5. The front output shaft of our S-10’s NP233C transfer case was causing an issue. The solution is to swap in a front output shaft and yoke from a NP231J Cherokee T-case into our NP233C. As soon as we find a donor NP231J ’case, we’ll get four-wheel drive back.
• 
  6. Luckily, the Wagoneer axle’s shock mounts lined up in the rear (with the frame mounts) and we easily lined up the fronts since we used Sky’s weld-on Toyota shock hoops. But at ride height, our front 12-inch-stroke Rancho shocks had only a few inches of compression travel. While it was at Revolution Vehicle Dynamics, Mike figured out a solution. He realized he could cut off the front axle’s original shock tabs off the housing and reverse the U-bolt plates from left to right. The Wagoneer U-bolt plates have single-shear studs coming off of them for sway bar link mounts in front of the axle. By turning the U-bolt plates around, Mike effectively made a new lower shock mount that gave us about 2.5 inches more compression travel. While a single shear mount is not ideal, we believe it will be strong enough for this application.

While a single shear mount is not ideal, we believe it will be strong enough for this application.
• 
  7. After taking its initial shakedown run, the Wagoneer front axle proved to wander too much and was pushed side to side by the steering system. Wagoneers used track bars straight from the factory for this very reason, so our front axle already had a track bar bracket. Mike fabbed up a track bar bracket on the frame and a rod end track bar to match, keeping it parallel with the steering draglink.
• 
  8. The rear had no issues. We used Sky’s S-10 shackles, the stock S-10 leaf springs, and welded new spring pads to the axle. The upper and lower shock tabs even lined up. With the lift shackles, the stock leaf springs, and the spring-under axle, we were able to put on 315/75R16 (35-inch) Mickey Thompson Baja Claws on Classic III aluminum wheels.
• 
  9. Wagoneers came with 15-inch wheels, which typically have a higher offset than a 16-inch wheel does. When we went to put on our new 16-inch Classic III wheels, we didn’t get more than a few feet out of the work bay before having to stop for a rubbing noise. The tie rod ends were actually rubbing the 16-inch wheels. We would have gone with a 15-inch wheel, but tires for 15-inch wheels are getting harder to find and 16s opened up tire selection for us.
• 
  10a. Four G2 Axle & Gear billet wheel spacers solved the issue for us. Not only did it allow clearance of the tie rod ends and wheels, but it also allowed us to clear the front leaf springs at full steering lock. The added 1.25 inches of width to each side brought our track width back to about that of a factory Wagoneer.

• 
  11. While we had no front-wheel drive yet, we did make it around as best we could in rear-wheel only. We were definitely impressed with how far the Mickey Thompson Baja Claw radials took us in 2WD.

Chevrolet Blazer Vs. Isuzu Trooper Vs. Land Rover Discovery

Chevrolet Blazer Vs. Isuzu Trooper Vs. Land Rover Discovery

Battle Of The Urban Off-Roaders

It's no secret that America dominates the sport/utility segment in terms of sales. In fact, the Big Three accounted for almost 82 percent of all compact SUV sales in '93. Sales stats alone, though, are hardly a convincing reason when choosing a vehicle. Different buyers have different priorities: performance, roominess, cargo capacity, interior accommodations, ride and handling, and value assume disproportionate weights depending on your needs and demands. These three representatives from the U.S., Japan, and Europe illustrate the diverse selection that's now available. Each offers a generous helping of carlike amenities and ample cargo room, yet displays its own unique personality and strengths.The Chevrolet Blazer is thoroughly redesigned for the '95 model year and offers the most versatile lineup of the three. Its base price range extends from $18,145 to $21,953, with a loaded 4x4 LT coming in under $27,000. Its lineup includes two- and four-door models with either two- or four-wheel drive. Both imports in this comparison are available only in four-door, four-wheel-drive configurations (last year's two-door Trooper RS has been discontinued). In addition, the Chevy offers a unique selection of specially tuned suspension packages.The Isuzu Trooper is a solid contender in the inner-space crowd. Its tall stance and expansive cargo area provide generous acreage for handling everything from mountain bikes to weekend excursions to the home-improvement store. It's available in three trim levels (S, LS, and Limited) with base prices ranging from about $23,000 to around $34,000.The Land Rover Discovery is a trendy newcomer that retains the essence of the rugged individualist. It's clad in aluminum body panels and has a distinctive, stepped roofline that makes it easy to spot. The Discovery is the highest priced of the three, starting at $29,350 (around $35,000 for a well-equipped version). In return, it delivers a long list of standard features, the option to carry up to seven people, plus a hard-earned reputation for all-terrain prowess.All three offer welcoming environments that range from carlike comfort to downright luxury. The Chevy has the longest overall length, which translates into significantly more front and rear legroom than the others. Cargo capacity, though, is a "no contest," with the Trooper's voluminous 90.2 cubic feet (with the rear seat folded) dwarfing the Blazer's 74.1- and the Discovery's 69.8-cubic-foot stats.A look at engine performance shows another no contest, with the Blazer's 4.3-liter Vortec V-6 outmuscling the Discovery's 3.9-liter aluminum V-8 and the Trooper's 3.2-liter 24-valve DOHC aluminum V-6. In terms of output, the Chevy's potent 195 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque edge out the 190 horses/195 pound-feet of the Isuzu's strongest offering, as well as the 182/232 of the Land Rover. Likewise, aided by a lighter curb weight, the Blazer cooks 0-60 in 9.4 seconds, significantly dusting the Discovery's 11.5 and the Trooper's 11.9. Plus, it does this while providing the best EPA-rated fuel economy: 17/22 city/highway, compared to the Trooper's 15/18 and the Discovery's 13/16.Even within the four-wheel-drive systems, there are key differences. The Land Rover is equipped with full-time all-wheel drive, while the Chevy and Isuzu include part-time systems (a full-time system will be available on the Blazer as a mid-year option). The Blazer offers a choice of either shifting between drive modes with a conventional console-mounted shift lever or a dash-mounted push-button.In terms of safety features, all three of these vehicles come standard with some combination of ABS and airbags. The Discovery, Blazer, and Trooper Limited models have four-wheel anti-lock brakes; the Trooper S and LS offer only rear-wheel ABS as standard, with a four-wheel system available as an $1100 option. Both imports come with dual airbags, while the Chevy has only a driver-side bag.Despite their reputations as off-road warriors, most SUVs live the bulk of their lives on pavement. Chevrolet has addressed this dual reality by offering five individually tuned suspension packages to help tailor the Blazer's ride and handling characteristics to match each driver's taste and lifestyle. Among the choices are a Premium package, which provides a plush, luxury-car-like ride; a Touring package, for those preferring a tauter feel and improved road handling abilities; and an off-road package.Choosing the right sport/utility vehicle, of course, depends a lot on how a vehicle's strengths align with your own needs and desires. When pressed to recommend one of these three over the others, however, our choice would be the Blazer. Although the imports may have an edge in specific areas, the Blazer offers a competitive balance in all aspects while dominating in such important ones as power output, fuel economy, ride and handling, passenger roominess, and lineup versatility. Chalk one up here for the 'Mericans.
