Sorry to hear that. Are you going to have the engine rebuilt, get a new engine, or are you going to get something entirely different?
How many miles are on the engine that decided to take a shit on you? What engine do you have? Even used ones are pricey... https://store.buyusedengine.com/#/product-c213110511g-chevrolet-trailblazer-2008-used_engines.html
I thought that's what you had in it. I hope you can find something with not so many miles on it to replace it with. The TB just looks to good to not try and get it going again.
Well after some research and pricing I think the Trailblazer will be going down the road. Hopefully on a few months I'll be looking for another truck.
Sorry to hear that Lee. You were in the process of making it your own with some of the mods you did already. Good luck in your quest for another truck.
