04 Trailblazer....best vehicle I ever had. Sold it in 2021 with almost 400k miles on it. Bought an 08 for my son's first car, 275k and still going....I worked at a chevy dealer for almost 10yrs. Yes, Chevy is junk, but I think the TB is one of the best they ever built. That straight 6 will last forever if taken care of.

Remember the good ole days, before the advent of the check engine light? If that wasn't a revenue generator for car companies, I don't know what was. When you cranked the car up, and the generator (not alternator) gauge showed positive, and the oil pressure gauge (not a light) showed you had oil pressure, you were good to go.

Scotty Ford guy here, I had this ride with 160K miles, no issues, Got stolen at Pick a Part, when i was looking for a part for my 22RE engine, valve cover, Miss my ride, still mourning

HOURS... of work distilled down into a 10 minute video.
Great job Scotty! 👍

[tedperzanowski]

I have a jasper engine in my 96 ford ranger 3.0 runs flawlessly. They do a good job rebuilding engines. 👍
And thank you Scotty!

I so love I found Scotty. He explains everything so clearly and I feel like I'm much better prepared to deal with vehicle problems.

Scotty, be careful with those drawstrings on your jacket. They get caught in a moving part, I don’t want to describe what could happen.

I droped the plastic tank on my forty year old truck, took the sending unit out, took it to power wash the inside to get all the crud out. then I ordered new gaskets and seals and installed new pump / sending unit which is what I would recomend if anyone does the same to their tank - make sure to clean it out and install all new seals with new pump / sending unit.

I even traded my '97 Sonoma SLS 4.3L with stepside bed for an '07 Trailblazer LS with the 4.2L in it. Solid engine and very fuel efficient compared to the Sonoma. I drive it daily to and from work. Only issue I've had with it is replacing the 16 year old gas cap. 😅

My wife bought her 2004 GMC XUV about sixteen years ago and loves it still. It has about 240k on it and i did replace the rear air bags and put shocks and springs instead which i recommend everyone do. I like the SUV too because it turns into a truck. It has the 4.2 inline engine and does not burn oil. Thanks for another great educational video.

Scotty can’t help but love you man....your in my opinion a great example of a true American

[gddavid]

I am failing to understand how the trailblazer qualifies as one of worst American vehicles made. It needed an O2 sensor, big deal. They have bad HVAC dampers and other annoying GM electrical demons but the 4.2 atlas is a good design and you can find these things cheap, what's not to appreciate?

[rayjohnson]

Tech Tip: If you live in the rust belt and decide to drop the tank then also check your long brake lines that run past the tank--Older GM cars and trucks lines rust out badly after 15-20 years and are easier to replace with the tank out....

[therealScopolamine]

It shouldn’t matter if you get low on gas and it sucks up “all the crud” from the bottom of the tank. Fuel filter is there for a reason.

[ErichH]

And here I go learning even more valuable information about automobiles- Thanks for the education, Scotty!

[claytondelanie]

I have a friend who has one of these, and he never had an import until the last couple years when I talked them into a Toyota van. For whatever reason that 2012 van turned out to be a huge lemon. His trailblazer he swears by though. Never had an issue.

[albertoserna]

Scotty you made the other video on the TB, saying its the most dependable suv, now this is. Well you did explain the oxygen sensor....so it makes sense.on my other car if the check engine light comes on, it means i have to change the oil.but my other car its the head gasket, which its a bigger pain to fic.thank you Scotty for the help.🎉

[bvu]

I had an 04 Rainier, same platform. Fuel filter hidden inside the driver side frame rail under driver seat area. Wouldn't hurt to look....

I tried to get one of those as my first car and the prices were crazy! Bought a 2002 Explorer instead and what a peice that turned out to be... Ford makes the biggest POS on the road
