GMC Blazer Engine problems by year

From a complete stop the vehical was turned around to pull into a parking area. The front bumper hit a tree stump where the license plate mounts. The vehical was moving less than 5 miles per hour, the air bags did not inflate. The bumper was cracked and more importantly the bumper brackets are mounted to the radiator which also broke. So this poor design of having the bumper mounted to the radiator caused aproximatly $1800.00 Worth of damage.

The oil cooling lines have been leaking for quite a long time, as a routine the oil level is checked often. After contacting a gm dealer's service dept they told me it is a very common problem with this blazer and with the truck no longer under warranty to contact the delivering dealership. Besides these hose assemblies are on back order I was told, which means it is a common problem and it may be a matter of time before oil fires may erupt if the line completely fails. After contacting the delivering dealership they will be glad to replace the hoses for $375, in which I would replace myself, but no parts available.*Ak
