Sounds like my blazer. It spends more time in the shop than on the road.

Exclamation sticking with it

.. made a thread asking about Trailblazers... I hunted around and wasn't able to get the one I wanted thru financing (credit issues) - door wasn't shut just had to do more hunting.. and waiting.


Wasting time I cannot afford. Blazer is leaking oil like crazy, spent about 100 in oil last 2 weeks. A hose that is crimped just inside the skid plate is almost off. Add to the my U joint grinding and the power steering leak I still haven't resolved. Talked to garage that fixed my heat, said he give me a good price on the repairs. Got an estimate and should be doable this Thursday.


ZR-2 still lives!!!
