I would stay away from the late 90's or early 2000's GM smaller suv type or pick-ups unless they've had the tranny replaced. I know too many guys with 1996-2000 that have had tranny problems once 85k-100K miles.

I myself have a 2000 Blazer ZR2 it's been a great ride I have99,000+ miles on it. (only owner) and yep 2nd-3rd gear is slipping Estimate from yesterday is $1650 to fix. My cousins 96 tranny went. A buddy in bow league spent $2200 on his 2001 tranny..and a guy I golf with has a 2000 with the same problem as mine with 90K miles.

The tranny guy saysGMS of the lighter class are plagued with this weak transmission problem.
Yes I wrote software to test those I believe you have the 4L60E tranny.

If they were made in Mexico or Romulus plant look out[:@] I believe Romulus is shut down now.

Oh great, I have a 2003 Sonoma ZR2 with 67,000 on it. Yet another thing I can look forward to replacing on that POS.[:@]
