Well that sucks that you blew a rod. I know drperry did to with an '05 blazer with less than 60k miles. It is a perfect time to upgrade to a v8 if you got the cash. From what I understand a 350 does well in the blazers.

Yeah, my #2 piston also busted the rod...
I was told it was my #2 piston before I looked that far underneath! lol.
No noise for me either, just gave a little jerk... Though, still accelerated after that first jerk for a second or so
I thought it was the fuel pump quitting until I saw all the oil underneath...
I posted up about it on ZR2USA and one of the guys was like "I bet ya the intake valve retainer on the #2 piston let go, dropping the valve, and when the piston hit it, it snapped the rod."
40,139 miles and mine went poof
