My wife and I bought a new 1998 Blazer ZR2. We owned it for approx. 2 years. We hated to get rid of it. But after the third pair of seat recliners broke. That was the straw that broke the camels back. It also had the ball joints go out at 30,000 mile and needed them replaced again at 45,000 miles. The rear tire holder broke and swung open. GM did replace the quarter and fix everything else. After talking to dealers service department I found out that the ball joints and seat recliners are problems with alot of S-10s. But like I said earlier we really liked the overall Blazer and did hate to get rid of it. It had a really good stance looked good. It was not uncommon to get compliments and questions about it. But when we owned ours there 3 on our area, 2 1998s and 1 1997. Every ZR2 has a posi, it is part of the package. And it is a package. They have a wider frame, 8.5 posi ten bolt, and a HO motor. Not like the ZR5s that are only fender flairs. I wouldn't mind having another one. But never the same dog bite you twice. Maybe our ZR2 was a lemon, I don't know. But on the other hand a buddy of mine has had numerous S-10s and ZR2 trucks. He sold his 97 Corvette,98 Corvette and a Boxter. But he will not part with his ZR2 trucks.
