well tried to post something last night, but was thwarted. Any car with 250k on it is "cursed" or accursed in my book. It's worn out. Whether that Blazer was cursed all along, or people were just dumping too many gallons of oil in the crankcase throughout it's life I can't say. We've all heard of or bought lemons. Saying you had a bad Chevy, very bad, is clearly not a representative case. But carry on.
