Hi all,
I just got a 2002 Chevy Trailblazer this past week, with 74k miles. Looked around and found this place and all its good advice.
Figured I'd sign up and say hi.
I used to own a couple of Merkur XR4TIs that I had to fix, a lot, and did all the work myself. Bought a Subaru after I had to let the Merkurs go, and drove that until it was vandalized. That leads me to my first truck, the Trailblazer.
I've looked around, and already cleaned the throttle body from seeing the suggestions, and man was that nice and gunked up. Also had to replace the radiator, which was a bummer, but that's my luck. Every car I've owned has needed a major fix in the first month of ownership. I swear my next one will be new with warranty. Other than that, multiple mechanics have said my truck is really clean and well maintained. The carfax showed that the previous, and only other owner, did all the maintenance by the book at the dealer.
I'm running mpg calculations now to see what I'm getting.
So, anything to look forward to other than the next major maintenance at 100k miles? The truck runs, pulls, and drives smooth as butter.
Other than that, hi all. Nice to find a solid, informational, forum and group.
