well after having my blazer for an amazing 2 years shes finally died... yesterday out of nowhere i get a misfire and engine knock, went outside today to find oil everywhere on the ground, topped my oil off cause i needed to get home, as soon as i started it bang blew something through the oilpan and not shes sitting at the shop, thinking about getting a new engine or maybe getting a new blazer, i just got my rims shipped to me like a week ago to wtf :*(

 

Sounds like a piston rod launched itself.

 

That sucks man...I feel your pain. I'm just saying goodbye to my Blazer.

 

ughh..

So many sad stories these days.

Not looking forward when my time comes.

I say get a new engine..

Stay up!

 

poke around c's list. you can pull a running 4.3 for like $300-$500... if you are savvy or have a pal who's savvy (and beer to supply) you could swap an engine in a weekend...

If you're not savvy, you can pay to play and score a new (used) engine dropped in for reasonable now that the economy sucks

sorry to hear about ride though

 

Like Alex/Sisk said - I feel your pain, I have issues with mine & after all is said n done it MAY be a twisted crank = sh!tload of money to repair. I would upgrade/have it built because the engine is taken out, but still, it only has 60,000 miles on it, still a newb/just broken in engine lol.

good luck mf!

 

thanks guys now i have to send my rims back to help pay for it these are what i got if anyone is interested payed $600 shipped http://www.monstermarketplace.com/ch...5-redrum-wheel

prolly gonna start looking for an engine tomorrow i know i can get a new gm one with a 2yr warranty for $1600 but i could get a 240 for that

 

Where do you live Zerbla96? My friend has a stripped down 4.3 that he's been holding onto for a while.

 

south jersey

 

I would say new engine :P if I ever had problems that would just convince me to swap for a V8 lol.
