What’s the word on this engine? http://media.gm.com/us/powertrain/e...Line Engines 4,5,6/06 4.2L I6 LL8 TB1 LoR.jpg
Any weak spots? Anything specific to look out for? Just picked up a second-hand 2005 trailblazer LS 4x4 & haven’t had a chance to dive into it much yet. The little bit I’ve driven it, she feels incredibly smooth and quiet. Pretty quick too for a ~4500lb truck. Some of the cool things about it: No EGR system, chain driven DOHC, coil-overs, fairly simple single cat exhaust, ~7qt oil sump & (large) oil filter mounts open side up. I know about the fuel efficiency thing. You cant talk to 3 people about a 2002+ trailblazer w/ out 2 of them complaining about MPG’s. So far as I can tell, it’s no worse on gasoline than the 2002 isuzu rodeo 3.2L we traded for the TB. Mid to high teen MPG’s, maybe 20mpg on a good day. Typical for a full framed 4x4 SUV.
Thanks fellas!
