I had an 87 Blazer I loved but it rusted out in the rear after I moved
to Houston from Boston area and the rear tailgate would no longer open.
I had put a new engine in it, which I pulled along with the tranny and
have in the garage, and gave the hulk to some guy I knew who was into
cars. Engine had the TBI which was somewhat problematic toward the
end. I found some app a guy in Finland or somewhere had made to run on
XP, along with a little circuit he designed you could tap into the ALDI
(I think that is what it was called) and read engine data in real time
on a laptop. I did that a few times, it was kinda interesting, but
reprogramming the computer was a very involved thing. A newer 4bbl or a
controllable throttle body injection system would probably be the thing
to do if I ever do something with the engine. As I recall it would get
about 17 on the highway, about what the 96 Silverado and 2000 Suburban
get. Not a lot of progress in that aspect.

The 88 had throttle body injection, so it was actually pretty good on fuel,
especially on the highway.

I drove an 86 Silverado Suburban for almost 10 years. Red with the cream stripe
around the middle. 2WD, barn doors, 3rd seat etc. Rear air caused trouble. Salt
ate the pipes underneath twice. 350 4 barrel was great. OD auto not so good.
Rebuilt once and needed to be done again by 200 K miles when I sold it.
