those were sweet gauges.

My mom used to have a bravada, it has the same setup as my blazer and components as a blazer and jimmy, but the bravada was actually slower becasue it has full time AWD!

My blazer has button selectors, to put it in 2WD, 4-HI, 4-LO, and AUTO 4WD (AWD)! Which is very nice cuz i get better fuel econ with 2WD (which is RWD) and more power!

However i'm not sure about a 1991 Bravada, i'm just guessing it had full time AWD but i'm not for sure.

yea this is full-time AWD but it's broken so it's relly RWD, i got a jimmy too check out my vid 2001 gmc jimmy 0-60

[94EglVisionTSI]

yeah id be interested to see a 0-60...Im guessing its the blazer/s10 standard 4.3?

[gearhead291]

yup , 165hp 232ft. lbs tq, i'll have to wait to get a 0-60 cuz it's my brother's truck now since i gave it to him

Yeah they look sweet, but those digital gauges actually blow dick. They go out for no reason at all half the time. My uncle had a blazer with the same gauges and replaced the cluster like 8 times in 4 years.

Replace the digital cluster from one at digital dash solutions on ebay and it should never go out again.

Your Bravada has 160HP because it has TBI. My '92 Bravada has 200HP because it is CPI. There is no "Smartrak fuse" on a 1st gen. The only way I know of to make this first gen RWD is by removing the front driveshaft, which forces the smartrak to give 100% power to the rear. Its default is 35% front, 65% rear. Same as the Typhoon/Syclone.

Your Bravada is A LOT slower then mine. Sorry.

@uniondude31 thats when you get a gmc typhoon lol awd all the time but they launch quick

i had a 94 jimmy miss the hell out of tranny went on it its was to much to fix i know on a v6 4.0 jeep grand cherokee its depenble but still like the jimmy better was thinking of by the olds version but i dint know the bravada was all wheel drive so thay dont have 4x4 version?

@uniondude31 you can make any bravada 2wd if you pull the Smart Trak fuse :) a little hint its awesome loads of power too

I have a Bravada. The only problem I had with it was the rear wiper. Every time I used it, it wouldn't come back up to the top of the window. One day I turned it on, got out of the truck with it still on, and heard a grinding noise. It was the post that the arm was on. I replaced the post and while I was at it, painted the arm black and got a new blade. Now it works and I can see out my rear window.
