    I drove a 2006 Trailblazer with the 5 cylinder for 8 years and 150,000 miles with zero problems. It did need an alternator but that’s all I can remember.

    Latest HOA crazyness

    What are some of the common issues that can cause knocking (rattling of the engine)?

    8.1L V8 - oil black after 20hrs of use. Normal ?
