I have owned this truck since 6/22/2011, so just under 3 years. I have put about 48,000 miles on it in that time. It works great, looks unique & presentable, and I would drive it anywhere. I am selling due to not needing such a large vehicle anymore...we bought a bmw 325i to replace this.

$5000

This Trailblazer is a 2005, with 178,832 miles. This is an EXT...so it has the somewhat uncommon THIRD ROW SEATING. Has the 4.2 liter inline 6 cylinder Vortec. I have current tags on it and I did an emissions test back in november (i have the registration but can't find the emission printout--actually, the MVD may have taken it when I got the registration). No trouble codes, runs and drives perfect.

There are a few MINOR issues:
1. The stepper motor on the tachometer and battery gauge are worn out and those two gauges frequently get stuck and do not read correctly. Speedometer, temperature, fuel level, oil pressure all work fine.
2. Few dings in the paint...but it looks pretty good...not like your typical Arizona car, the clear coat is there and it is shiny. There are some rock chips on the front edge of the hood, headlights could use one of those resurfacing kits, and the truck could probably use a good washing and wax. (The interior was just shampoo'd and steam cleaned).
3. I have the front bumper cover but it needs to be painted if you want to put it back on. I removed it so the aux lights could be mounted and to gain a little more nose clearance.
4. The air conditioning works & blows cold, but it is not extreme cold, I suspect it could use a recharge.

That's it, everything else works! Radio, cruise control, 4x4 hi/lo, AWD, all electric windows, front and rear wipers, all lights, the rear struts to hold up the tailgate, and the remote key fob...all of it is there and works like it should.

Also, some upgrades have been done to the truck:
* 3" suspension lift kit.
* 31" BFG Off road tires WITH full size matching spare
*Custom K&N cold air intake
*Custom Exhaust - Flowmaster 40 series 1 into 2, with custom done dual exhaust with one exit on each rear corner. This was shop done, not a hack job. The Flowmaster DOES add a little growl, so be aware (it is not obnoxious however).
*Truck has POWERLITE limited slip rear end.
*KC Off road lights, wired to the stock fog light dash switch.
*3 gauge pod mounted on a pillar (gauges are removed, but it is there and ready for you to put in whatever you want).
*New battery less than a year ago (Interstate Battery)
*New rear door lifts about 6 months ago.
*4 of the 6 ignition coil boots have been replaced with new.
*New exhaust manifold less than a year ago
*New brake pads and new front rotors about 1 year ago.
*New spark plugs 8 months ago.
*New serpentine belt 1 year ago.
*Probably a couple hundred dollars worth of towing balls/bars are included!

Title is in hand, regular/non-salvage, no liens.

Truck is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to void the auction should it sell locally.

Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner

Sat, 24 Aug 2013

For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"

Suzuki recalls 2 million cars globally

Wed, Apr 22 2015

Suzuki is recalling two million vehicles across the globe, including a number of Chevrolet Cruze sedans that it builds for General Motors, because the ignition switches may begin to smoke. None of the Cruzes being recalled were sold in the US, though. This recall is limited to the Japanese, European and Australian markets. In Suzuki's home market, 1,873,000 vehicles are being recalled, including the Cruze and a number kei cars built for Mazda (the Carol and AZ-Wagon), as well as the automaker's own Alto, Wagon R and Swift. Affected vehicles were built between 1998 and 2009. The remaining 133,000 vehicles include Cruzes and other Suzuki products sold in Europe and Australia. There have been no reports of injuries or accidents due to the 67 reported incidents, all of which come from the Japanese market, a Suzuki spokesperson told Automotive News. Related Video:

Chevy exec confirms SS production model reveal at Daytona on Feb 16

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

The 2014 Chevrolet SS will make its racing debut for the 2013 Daytona 500, but the production version of the car will get its official unveiling on February 16 in Daytona, a week before The Great American Race. According to a report by Automotive News, the reveal has been confirmed by Jim Campbell, Chevy's US vice president of performance and motorsports. With the departure of the Dodge Charger, the new Chevrolet racecar will be the only competitor to feature a V8, rear-wheel-drive layout in both street and NASCAR form.
NASCAR fans will be able to see the new fullsize performance-oriented sedan on display in the festivities leading up to the Daytona 500, but the car won't go on sale until later in the year. The Australian-built Chevy SS will be a low-volume performance model, and it will be priced above the 2014 Impala, which starts at $27,535.
