OMG guys i love my truck but im seriously thinking i have had it with this truck.
Its a 2003 trailblazer LTZ and im just at my end with it here is a little recap ...Bought it in late Dec, got it home realized battery was toast,not a biggie replaced with one out of my blazer then took in due to sounds under the hood put in a new tension-er and a new Alternator about 700 bucks all complete ...not long after start having the typical dirty throttle body issues kinda freaked more than i needed to but not a fan of the unknown.
Cleaned the throttle body start having all kinds of electrical issues lights intermittently working flashing lights coming up all that then my gear shifter lucked up and the key was stuck in the ignition, thank god i have a great soon to be father in law he towed it to his shop then sent it to the GM dealer all in all was about 550 bucks due to a loose ground and the sensor for my gearshift, then im driving my g/f daughter home from a movie and just dropped her off and about 5 mins later im driving down the road and no power so i pull over and there is smoke coming from under the hood open it and there is a fire down by the cat threw some snow on it sat there for the night and in the morning father in law towed to his shop to have a better look what had happend is the trans line blew off and spewed fluid all over exhaust, fixed the line and seemed to be ok till the next day i started driving to work and slipping like crazy...this point im LIVID drive to the shop trans rebuild im about about 3,000 bucks.
Now im looking at new breaks all around, new front drivers wheel bearing not too mention the new battery i bought (optima not necessary but audio i run why not) and i know this wouldn't me too bad however this is all within 5,000 kms.
If i decide to buy another it will not be chev the last 4 vehicles i have owned were Chev 1 was a cavy z24 lasted about 3,000 km....then chev s10 extended cab 4cyl(i know there not known as chevy's best product) think that was about 1,500 kms then jumped timing and cooked the engine... then i bought a chev blazer zr2 still have it but i have about 3,500 kms on it and i have put about 2,000 bucks into it and its at about 170,000kms.
Sorry about the venting and im not dumping on Chev but i have been very displeased thus far with all the chev products i have owned...im hoping that this truck will turn out to be great but off to a very bad start.
Thanks for the venting session..![Hissy-Fit :hissyfit: :hissyfit:](/forums/smilies/hissyfit.gif)
