1994 Chevrolet Blazer Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 1994 Chevrolet Blazer is the one to have if the truck is a diesel: alongside the naturally aspirated 5.7-liter gasoline V8 of 350 cubic inches sits a turbocharged 6.5-liter diesel V8 of 395 cubic inches, and forced induction changes the fuel, air, lubrication and cooling work on it substantially. The two-door sport utility body comes as Base, Silverado or Silverado Sport, and the chassis, brake and body sections cover all three without distinction.

Known issues on the 1994 Blazer. Seven items are on the federal record. Trailer hitch attaching bolts left under their specified torque can work loose and break, letting hitch and trailer part company with the truck. A campaign on the 6.5-liter diesel addresses poor throttle response, stalling, misfire and long cranking when hot. Two antilock entries cover a drive-mode switch that lengthens stops and extended stopping distances across mixed surfaces. Of 707 complaints, 454 concern the service brakes, 49 visibility and 36 the fuel system — all systems this manual diagnoses and specifies.
