Assuming it's the tried and true 4.3L V6 engine, there is no timing belt. The determining factor in my purchase of my 2002 Blazer was that this engine is a very old (read: proven) design and has little or no surprises. GW

Thanks for the feedback....Whats your feeling about this truck....will it last? anything i need to know or worry about with the push button 4x4...It has Auto4WD,2WD HI,4WD HI & 4WD LOW also a towing button. These gadgets sometimes scare me...should I be scared? One more thing the Passenger Heated seat doesnt work? The light doesnt come on & it doesnt heat up? How do I go about troubleshooting....is this common?
THANK YOU! Robert
Have the front end suspension/steering parts checked. They aree known for needing ball joins, Idler and pitman arms. Other than that, they are very solid trucks.
