Hello all! New to this forum but very active at the Tahoe/Yukon Forum.
Recently bought a 2002 TrailBlazer LS for my girl Linda. I know I will need some expertise here and this forum was recommended by a member at my TYF. The new rig has only 70k miles on it. Does have the "sewing machine" valve train noise but no problems. Is out of the VIN window for the cylinder sleeves problems. Has already had the fan clutch replaced and does have a leak at the water pump but is completely leak free elsewhere. I will be doing the water pump and thermostat/water outlet, likely on Christmas day or the next day because parts will be here from RA and is supposed to be mid 50's here. The engine is peppier than I expected. Has no dents and was a one owner. I am posting pics and if you look close you can see the orange coolant leak from the bottom of the water pump pulley. I am open to any comments and to any help I can give to others.
