2004 Chevrolet Blazer 4.3 0-60 (Before Tune)

[cnocher02]

@leonikozako Best reply ever

[kinkrenagade]

I miss my old blazer, its on my youtube, BUT it was always causing headaches. So I am kinda glad its gone. I did a lot to it and it was still slow :( FAST for a blazer, Slow compared to everything else lol.

[cnocher02]

@kinkrenagade Yeah, they're certainly not made for speed. I love mine though, it's had a few hiccups but I truly could not get rid of it

[blazerguy14290]

i got about 8.4 sec on the clock

[cnocher02]

@blazerguy14290 Thanks haha, that's generous of ya; it doesn't seem quick in the vid

[blazerguy14290]

@cnocher02 it's not too quick in second but got from 0-40 quick, mine does 0-60 somewhere in the 8's since i put in a new trans, seems about right

[BLAZER4able]

i have a 96 blazer 0-60 7 sec

[cnocher02]

@BLAZER4able Why don't you have a vid of it?

[BLAZER4able]

@cnocher02 i could but my camera gettin fixed but i will soon

[cnocher02]

@BLAZER4able Oh ok, hope to see one

[Motorfordtoyota]

Im a 4runner guy, but I love the Blazers too! Chevy and Toyota ftw!

[hondacrxd16a6]

we have a couple s-10's at my work with the 4.3's and it moves those little trucks pretty well..the motors themselves take a beating and still go..durable motor. imao

[cnocher02]

@hondacrxd16a6 Oh yeah, they're tough

[yellowcow13]

I do like me some Blazer, but im an Explorer man. Has anyone found a vid on a 2nd gen Explorer vs a Blazer like this one?

[coolgames14]

4.3L.....hmm that's gonna be six big holes

[cnocher02]

@coolgames14 Not quite sure I follow you...

[v8magnumram]

@cnocher02 Hes talking about combustion chambers i believe.. 

[cnocher02]

@v8magnumram Thats what I thought, but you never know

[gfrushour]

i am sorry my mom had a 1998 chevy blazer but ours was a piece of junk for the 3 years we had it they put over 10000 dollars into it

[cnocher02]

@gfrushour Yeah, that would suck

[mgospeed31]

I'd rawk it. 

[gfrushour]

this is going down a hill this car sucks get a highlander for gods sake at least something that can run sixty in 6.50 seconds or below!!!

[cnocher02]

@gfrushour Right, right. Question: Can a highlander pull a 23 foot boat or go anywhere? No, because a Highlander is fucking gay. Now, go to hell

[gfrushour]

@cnocher02 dude you have very bad anger issues just take a freaking chill pill

[cnocher02]

@gfrushour Take a chill pill after you come trollin' and trying to talk down on my truck? Nah, I'm good; you should just take a hike, kid. I don't buy trucks to go fast, that's not what they're for.

[Diadematov]

@cnocher02 lol pwnd

[cnocher02]

@Diadematov :D

[Tbolt1000TForLife]

@gfrushour asshole

[gfrushour]

@Tbolt1000TForLife dude just go and take a chill pill or something a highlander is much faster a 2011 3.5l v6

[Tbolt1000TForLife]

@gfrushour mind your own damn business

[DeftonesFan867]

@gfrushour Maybe he doesn't want a FWD POS Toyota?

[gfrushour]

@DeftonesFan867 ours is 4WD with a 3.5l v6 engine that has 270 hp

[ferniee16]

the 4.3l v6 is beast in Blazers and s10s

[CeilingFans4UrLife]

Is this A/T?!! Oh and how do you think a 2.2 manual transmision blazer will move?!!

[eduardosantacruz]

@CeilingFans4UrLife You should get a manual s10 with the 4.3L if you want speed

[CeilingFans4UrLife]

@eduardosantacruz In Indonesia there is only a 2.2 manual or automatic 2.2 (?) I wan't the manual

[MegaElijah56]

viperbasketball25 u can eat a dick you bitch

[TraditionalChevy]

What kind've modifications?

[cnocher02]

@TraditionalChevy Stock in this video

[kylesueltenfuss]

I have one of these bad boys. Just out of curiosity. who would win in a race 1998 s10 blazer 4d 2wd. 4.3l v6 or a 1994 jeep cherokee country 4d 4wd with a 4.0 I6

[cnocher02]

@kylesueltenfuss Probly perty close, not sure...

[kylesueltenfuss]

@cnocher02 I've looked at dyno charts on the net and it looks like ill win at the take off, but then it will even out

[alejandroschmitt13]

@kylesueltenfuss i have a1993 4wd in lline 6 limited grand cheroke and its really slow 0-60 AROUND 16-17 SECONDS

[MegaElijah56]

my blazer has a turbo and it a 96 so it can get up to 160 in 5.5 seconds

[cnocher02]

@MegaElijah56 I can only imagine

[viperbasketball25]

@MegaElijah56 yeah i doubt you dumbass

[idontlikecops1]

Gmc Jimmy Chevy Blazer Oldsmobile Bravada For the muthafuckin win!!!!!!!!!!

[nativebrother]

@idontlikecops1 Hell yes brutha!

[blueblazer8847]

TO ALL WHO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH A BLAZER........GO FIND AN EXPLORER TO DISS, YOU ALL EITHER HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT BLAZERS OR ARE JUST PLAIN STUPID. BLAZER=PERFECT

[nativebrother]

@blueblazer8847 I love my Jimmy!!

[Louie92801]

@blueblazer8847 I have a blazer what makes them better then Explorer?

[wowr90]

@blueblazer8847 amen



[masongalbraith]

@blueblazer8847 no car is perfect people have problems with all cars my 99 explorer has 226,865 miles on it and the only thing wrong with it is a delay going into reverse

[Motorfordtoyota]

@masongalbraith I agree, my 4runnerhas 262,620 miles and it has only had some gaskets and the alternator go out since 1988!! Not even the clutch has gone.

[masongalbraith]

@Motorfordtoyota yeah like i hate fan boys especially when there like im not a fan boy and there user name is the kind of car they have haha

[cnocher02]

@masongalbraith That is perty funny, Ill give you that

[Motorfordtoyota]

@masongalbraith Hahaha, my username is like that only because I couldnt think of anything else when I made the account!! lol

[masongalbraith]

@Motorfordtoyota lol not you im saying blueblazer8847 haha

[cnocher02]

@masongalbraith Now, you can't pick and choose

[Motorfordtoyota]

@masongalbraith hahaha, yeah.

[dustinby15]

nice i have a 2000 chevy blazer LT and for a V6 4.3 they do have some balls

[alexxzz1]

trailbleizer ss fucking lov it and finally got one!

[ktmyamaha01]

o2's are pain in the asses. my dads old cavi set the light off twice but we got er fixed for good now... idt my blazer is this fast, id try it but idk if my tranny would hold haha. it probably would, but ive been taking it easy on her for awhile, just for good measure. 156k miles on the 97 so far and going strong

[sean55719]

thats def goin down a hill lol

[cnocher02]

@sean55719 Haha it's really not

[BOOMymon]

mine has a cold air intake and alot of small mods and it does right under 9 seconds

[adogg619]

@sean55719

"goin down a hill" ?

No, these 4.3L motors made good low end torque plus a well executed launch would send these trucks jumping off the line quick. You've probably never driven the Vortec 4300.

[sean55719]

@adogg619 dude ive owned a total of 3 4.3s a 1998 and 2 1996s.

id much rather be doin a 0-150 pull in my 6sp camaro nowa days:)

[cnocher02]

@sean55719 Wouldn't we all...

[96999699]

get a trailblazer ss it runs 0 to 60 in just 5.5 seconds

[cnocher02]

@96999699 If I had the money I would. I raced one last night and stayed with him through first gear then, goodbye tbss!

[atgskater14]

@96999699

A trail blazer does not have the off road capability of a blazer

[Saidnovo]

Blazer FAIL.....

[cnocher02]

@Saidnovo Ok ya brazilian fuck, you can leave now

[cnocher02]

@Saidnovo XD just go home to your shithole

[Quatermain98526]

Alright, I can respect that you just wanted to test it out.

[Quatermain98526]

Why are you racing a Blazer? If you want something to race buy a sports car.

[cnocher02]

@Quatermain98526 Um, yeah, I'm definitely not racing my Blazer. I just wanted to see what she could do.

[weewoodeal]

@Quatermain98526 So why dont you give him the money for one or leave. wow such a bad boy ^^

[masterriku4]

im so sad we got rid of our blazer and we have a peice of crap hhr

[cnocher02]

@masterriku4 I love my Blazer

[scottyBoland]

@masterriku4 no shit? we got rid of my bravada and have an HHR

[cnocher02]

@scottyBoland No shit!

[scottyBoland]

@cnocher02 sad shit! damnit i don't even like the HHR its small for someone over 6'4" and has massive blind spots

[cnocher02]

@scottyBoland XD I love this conversation.... we drove an HHR as a rental and I hated every square centimeter of it

[scottyBoland]

@cnocher02 yeah try driving it till i bought another suv :) but still without the sunroof i would of been cramped bad

[corvetteboy10]

my 1995 blazer and also my 1996 silveraldo has the same problem with the Check engine light.....

[cnocher02]

@corvetteboy10 Yeah, it's really nothing

[CJDaTman]

@corvetteboy10 Actually with my 2001 blazer the engine light was on for fuel pump, which they go bad easily which i suggest a NAPA fuel filter and pump, then my transmission which i suggest to just rebuild it, but the engine light most of the time is fuel pump when it's running fine

[cnocher02]

@CJDaTman Well, it was just a bad o2 sensor behind the cat. I replaced it, and the light's been off ever since.

[CJDaTman]

@cnocher02 Oh well that's not too bad, the transmission was a pain in the ass, worst transmission I've dealt with. And also don't get a cheap fuel pump because they tend to suck up a lot of the crud at the bottom of your tank and resricts the flow badly resulting in you haveing to buy another one shortly after.

[corvetteboy10]

@CJDaTman i just got the pump replaced cause it was going bad

[640101vh]

Runs pretty good, do you still have the vehicle? I seen a bunch of these get blown up/destroyed, while the cash for clunkers program was active.

[cnocher02]

@640101vh Oh yeah, still got 'er. Love my Blazer, the CEL was just the post-cat o2 sensor

[drippinblood28]

my 4.0 i6 jeep does 0-60 in 7.4. This is slow

[cnocher02]

@drippinblood28 No, it doesn't. Plus, your Cherokee doesn't weigh near as much as my Blazer, and you're not runnin 31 inch mud tires either.

[whyisthisnottyping]

I love my 2000 Chevy blazzer

[hygeneisstupid]

ha...i got a blazer as well, there is a shit ton of power up till 60 then you lose it all, basically just bc gm was trying to make small truck be able to tow shit, which they did and ill give em credit

[cnocher02]

@hygeneisstupid Now it makes power all the way up, I took off the muffler and cats, and I got a custom tune. Runs real good now, and I get 17 mpg in town, 22 on hwy

[hygeneisstupid]

ya i got a high flow magnaflow cat, and a flowmaster super 44, sounds decent and i got some more power....wat kind of tune did you get? just the computer programmed for different shift points and such?

[cnocher02]

I got an 89 octane tune from Wait4Me. Just had them delete out the post cat o2 sensors, firm up the shifts, and a few other little things. Shift points stayed about the same, it just shift firmer due to that and my corvette servo. Money well spent. A little better mpg, too.

[badmonk3829]

ha service engine soon

[cnocher02]

ha o2 sensor

[IAteSomeCorn]

@badmonk3829 dude every zr2 has the check engine light on at least once a week, its common, mine comes on if i fill the tank up, floor it, hit a bump, hit a bug, anything sets it off lol

[cnocher02]

lol it's off now, has been for a long time. funny thing is, they come on, and it drives the same ?!?

[94EglVisionTSI]

What a surprise,.a check engine light on in a s10/blazer......

[cnocher02]

Yup, and it runs like a top!

[loucks428]

yep, no surprise that it still drives mint.

[Mattxman83]

Umm, did anyone else notice that the check engine light is on?!

Hahahahaha! Go figure!

I have a 2004 Blazer ZR-2...but would never do that to it...

[cnocher02]

What, you'd never floor it?

The CEL was on because of the post cat o2 sensor dumbass. Calm down

[cnocher02]

And where are the vids of your zr2?

[Mattxman83]

I actually just bought it about a month ago. So haven't had much time with it. I did own one a few years ago...but, umm...kinda totalled it! Haha! Live and learn, this is part of why I said "I'd never do that to my truck".

Even if it is your O2 sensor, it could be the result of beating on it...so, YOU calm down.

;-P

[cnocher02]

You're too funny. You make the comment that since I floored my truck once, it's being abused, which is the most rediculous statement I've heard in some time. It's actually good to do that occasionally, and that was the one time in about 6 months that I floor mine (and it runs great). The o2 sensor doesn't go bad because I "beat on it", it was that fact that there was a bosch sensor of the wrong type installed by the previous owner.

Until next time kiddo

[Mattxman83]

Calm down dude. For real.

It was just a basic observation based on one video you had posted.

Now, if you had posted all that info WITH the video, instead of leaving it wide open for people to assume...then I'd feel like an ass.

I observed. Thats all.

And, frankly...I don't really agree with flooring a vehicle & having it do any bit of good for it. Fuel injector/carb. cleaner, yeah...clean the bitch out. Stomping on it...not so much! Thats gotta be good for the drivetrain! Hahahaha!

[cnocher02]

Also, have you flushed the Dex-Cool out of your 4.3? If not, you desperately need to. I've flushed mine, replaced the therm. and rad cap, and filled with 50/50 mix of Prestone green.

[CatalinaSafari73]

I have heard a lot of horror stories about DexCool. My father has a 98 Blazer that fell victim to DexCool problems at 28K mies. The GM dealer told him never to use DexCool again. He has used Prestone green since then and has never had any problems since he stopped using DexCool and he now has 142K Miles on his Blazer.

[cnocher02]

@CatalinaSafari73 Yup, all that crap is outta mine for good. Wanted to stop the problem before it happened

[fr34kaccident]

well yes, in terms of the injectors coupled with fuel injection cleaner, and flooring it, yes that does help, but you are right, it beats on the driveshaft, the rear, and the transmission. now personally our 99 suburban is a tank, so we are not really worried, because we have owned it for 4 years, and floor it when ever we are on a major interstate. which is about 1 a month. peace anyway bro, and take good care of that Chevy, she will reward you in the long haul.

[cnocher02]

Yup, had a bottle of Chevron Techron in the tank here. I floor mine about once a month as well, and have found no negative effects. I've changed the trans fluid and filter, rear end fluid, and u joints, so I think I'm good to go.

[cnocher02]

As maintenance, nothing was broken and in need of replacement.

[Mattxman83]

P.S. (Because Youtube sucks like that!)

The 4.3 Vortec is (basically) bulletproof regardless of what anyone does to it. I just can't bring myself to do "that" to my kick-ass truck.

I have no warning lights on and wanna keep it that way.

I have to ask, does yours have quite a bit of cabin noise? Sounds like poor design to me. Like, too many plastic panels and not enough insulation. My other ZR-2 was the same way, and all the others I've driven/ridden in.

I find it's their ONLY flaw. Oh well.

[cnocher02]

Yup, the 4.3 is great.

I have no warning lights either, now. I replaced that sensor with an ACDelco and it went off that day. I now have a Wait4Me tune, as well, and it's a whole new truck. Flooring a vehicle occasionally is GOOD for it, dead serious. All that buildup has to come out somehow, and fuel injector cleaner can't get everywhere.

Yes, the fit and finish of the S-10's arent great. Just the nature of the beast.

[Mattxman83]

I haven't flushed out the Dex-Cool, but the old dude before me (only other owner) did. He also replaced the heater core...guess he had some issues. I have paperwork on it, along with all the records.

(Even a receipt from a Chevy dealer when he had a brake light bulb replaced. I mean, c'mon!)

I'm considering some upgrades, seeing as the warranty on most things has expired. But first I'm gonna see how she handles thru the snow. Fuckin' Vermont.

Gotta love it, or something...I guess?!

[Mattxman83]

I'm thinkin' bigger tires but have been told I can't go above 33" without modifying anything else. Is this true? I still have the factory recommended 31" BFGoodrich. Also thinkin about a full brushguard, Alteeza lights, HID headlights. Just the smaller shit to start with. Not sure what direction it's gonna go in yet. I also have a Ford Explorer Sport. Best of both worlds! Haha!

Variety is good, very good!

[cnocher02]

Bigger tires will be a good investment. Not sure about the ZR2's, but I have 31x1050 Cooper STTs and they are amazing. The biggest size on a non-Z blazer with no lift. 33's might be a little big, but idk. Get a custom tune, you'll love it. I got mine from Wait4Me and I really like it.

I plan on 6000k hid's too, and some small wheel spacers to make the rear as wide as the front, none on the front though.

[fr34kaccident]

acdelco, such a wonderful brand and friend of gm, love they're parts.

[homiegmarkster]

the 1995 blazer was the most powerful 195hp (some sites claim 200hp) and 260lb of tourque 2004 is 195hp and 250lbs after 1995 they changed the fuel injection system to meet emissions lowering hp and torque

[cnocher02]

By a small amount, but that CPI system in those was garbage. Plus they changed the fuel injection because the MPFI is more reliable, but still keeps torque and hp

[oldsmobiletw]

Ok is it ok to push these 4.3l engines past 4500 RPMs ? Because I pushed my 99 bravada pretty hard tonight and it reved up past 4500 and now my exhaust tick is a little louder it seems.

[cnocher02]

I guess, my redline starts at 5200 and thats when it always shifts at WOT. That is completely stock except for the Super 44 (had cats at the time)

[slipknot11080]

idk i pushed my 2001 blazer to the floor one night and i blew the plastic fan apart as soon as it hit 5000rpm. doing that also put holes in my radiator cuz of the fan. so i dont push it that hard anymore haha. but plenty of torque to shoot those ricers off the line.

[cnocher02]

Oops =O

But they are torque machines, and now with my Wait4Me tune, it pulls like hell

[slipknot11080]

how much was your tuner and wut exactly does it change

[cnocher02]

It's a custom tune from Wait4Me Performance. They can change whatever, but it gave me more power, stronger shifting, and 2 mpg. It costs $100, but you that's sending your PCM off and you can't drive till you get it back (bout a week)

[slipknot11080]

oh ok. thanks alot. anything to increase my fuel mileage would be worth it, filled up last night and averaged 12mpg. i drive it normal and ive tuned it with plugs cap rotor, fuel system cleaner, and tried everything to do with my intake,like cold air and back to stock box. it still sucks

[cnocher02]

Wow, that's terrible MPG. I got about 14 before the tune, but I have 31" mud tires. Did you use ACDelco parts for the tune up? If not, that's probably why MPG is so bad.

[yellowcow13]

nice im an explorer person tho

[BuhundredReturns]

Not the fastest, but I like Blazers. Chevy is a good company. A 3.4 4Runner would outrun a blazer though.

[cnocher02]

Think so? I bet my Chevy will outpull that 3.4 anyday

[BuhundredReturns]

Supercharge that 3.4 and it would outpull that 4.3, the supercharger was a dealer installed option. :p

Nice truck though. I like older vehicles more than new vehicles which are thrown together with plastic. Back in the day automakers actually used metal and didn't listen to those faggot enviromentalists as much as today.

[cnocher02]

I like my naturally aspirated, iron block/heads, and torque machine that is the 4.3 :)

Preciate that

[The2010camaro]

Does that have a Flowmaster? Cause my brothers has a Flowmaster and sounds like that.

[cnocher02]

yup

[nucleartractor]

whats the SES on light for?

[ScottXC91]

It's a Blazer, that's why. Mine hardly ever goes out.

[cnocher02]

Mine was only the o2 sensor behind the cat, no big deal

[ScottXC91]

Yeah, mines probably something like that.

[nucleartractor]

For some reason, I got a SES light for emissions, then in a week it went away... Am I gonna fail emissions next time?

[cnocher02]

I dont know. Might wanna have adv auto or someone check it out, should be free to read the code

[nucleartractor]

I took it up there and had it read (bout 2 weeks ago, bout a week after SES light went off), there were no active codes so the guy said if it doesn't come on again don't worry, then about a week later my catalytic converter cracked... now it sounds like a box of rocks...

[cnocher02]

If your state doesn't have inspections, get it gutted and get a flowmaster or something. (if you want) if your state has inspections, itll have to be replaced

[nucleartractor]

We don't have inspections, but we have VEIP emissions inspections through the OBD-II and since it has a downstream oxygen sensor, that would probably make it fail. As of now there is no loss of performance and no SES light, it's just annoying as can be.

[cnocher02]

yeah, I'd just have it replaced then

[BeboAltizer]

i have a 2.2 in my s10, and i want to turbo it, what would be a safe psi level for a daily driver?

[cnocher02]

safe and conservative, probly from 8-12 psi. Might wanna ask someone who knows real well because I'm not an expert for sure

[BeboAltizer]

thanks.

[blazerboy525]

a safe boost level is get a 2.8V6 and run 8-10psi. its just not even worth it with the baby 4 banger

[BeboAltizer]

wow, i didnt know that there was a turbo kit for the 2.8. i would rather have that anyways. thanks

[150peacemaker]

9.53 seconds

[cnocher02]

AKA slow as fuck lol

Love my Blazer though, I don't buy trucks for speed

[150peacemaker]

hey bro, dont feel sad. My P.O.S. 3.8l camaro is slower then your blazer

[cnocher02]

Nah, I ain't. My cuz has a 97 3.8 'maro and that thing is perty damn quick

[150peacemaker]

is it stick? the stick is conciderably faster then the automatic

[cnocher02]

nope

[nintendozelda98]

2004? by then it is a trailblazer

[cnocher02]

Nah, they still made the Blazer up until 2005, it was just entry level

[nintendozelda98]

by this time did you put the tune yet

[cnocher02]

nope, this is stock

[nintendozelda98]

how much horsepower it got is it lower than a vortec 4200 or faster

[cnocher02]

its got 190 hp stock, 260 torque

probably slower than the I6 4.2

[nintendozelda98]

the i6 has 291 hp in it
