So I got the truck and got it back to upstate NY earlier this week. Really nice, alot better than I expected actually. Originally I wanted to find a blue one but this Midnight Edition blew away all of my expectations. Only has 10K miles on it now. Found out the RPO codes is now in QR format...

Hmm.... Interesting. They fix alot of the mechanical issues but in the process some additional electronic ones.... Fun. Will do, I will check out the RPO sticker when I get it. Thanks

Thanks everyone for the good information. I ended up finding a 2018 Tahoe Z71 Midnight Edition with only 9k miles which I am picking up on Saturday. Originally I was considering a 2017-2019 slightly used with low miles but after seeing that the 2017 and earlier models had issues including the...

Good day everyone, been a while but still in the GMT family. I have been resisting family pressure to buy Toyota and investigating buying a 2019 Tahoe and then moving my 2007 Trailblazer as my second vehicle. Wanted to ask a couple multipart questions: -6 speed is the way to go for any of...

I am going to look into getting a tranny cooler then and additional hoses to extend the lines as a permanent solution, I already had a Dorman part around since this was going to have to be replaced either way as I also found another issue with that. I ended up throwing that in and found that the...

Great tip but where would I put something like that, especially if I already have a big tranny cooler up front? Really with the worm gear clamps, so that would mean the last guy overtightened them because it damaged the hose on the previous hoses. Are the factory style spring clamps any good? I...

The investigation continues. I don't think it was the neighbors, I barely know them around here anyway and it certainly isn't a conflict going on. I even take small courtesy steps to avoid problems since I drive in and out of the area during late hours like shutting my lights off if the truck is...

Hey everyone. Well seems I keep having issues with return lines on the driver side between the rack and cooler. This time, got yet another leak right at the cooler where the hose connects with a clamp. It is the Dorman model I replaced in 2013. Lately it has been the return line, either leaking...

Ok appears to be fixed now.... OEM caliper and brake hose replaced. Going to drive it and verify everything. Did notice a small amount of brake fluid on the brake line threads but hoping it was residual from when it was installed. Wiped it off and going to recheck. They could not determine the...

Really? Interesting... Yes, I am going to ask them to replace the caliper, hose and all the hardware. That would solve the immediate problem but in terms of the bigger issue of why I am still wondering how bolts could go from being screwed in (with the small distance, wouldn't they have been on...

Hey everyone. Happy new year and well this is a night to remember.... So last night I changed the oil, differential/t-case fluids and rotated the tires. Just basic stuff as I was planning on driving it on a 350 trip next weekend. Noticed no issues with anything with the brakes when I did the...

Hey everyone. So I have been doing quite a bit of traveling involving the Trailblazer since starting a new role at work, having been on several trips from upstate NY to northern VA (350 miles/6 hours). This truck is great on long trips, very comfortable and the right size vehicle for the job...

Thanks for the pictures and information, makes alot more sense as those lines had alot more clearance from the factory. Now how to fix this.... Any ideas? Can the lines be bent back easily from this angle without kinking? Yes that is a flared fitting and from what I was told it is copper nickel...

Yes, I did try but was not finding anything with a closeup of the line itself. Here is the photo, I can barely slip one finger between the coil spring and the line itself. I was told this was not a problem but still concerned about the spring hitting it. This is after multiple repair attempts...

Thanks everyone for the tips, the pulsation got worse over time including at higher speeds so I had the brakes done with all AC Delco OEM parts except for the parts where I could only find Professional like for the rear rotors. They had to be done anyway as they were...
