Just an update on my oil consumption, on my way to work Friday the check engine light started flashing I shut it down and had it towed to the shop. They looked at the engine and proclaimed it dead, the number one cyclinder had 20% compression and the exhaust valve was burned. Needless to say the...

That's not too bad, I found a 2009 Acadia SLT1 with 77000 on it for 13000 out door with a 3yr 36k bumper to bumper warranty. I figure if the engine went everything else was going right behind it, and I had spent 2500 in the last year in repairs to keep it on the road. I'll miss the trailblazer...

How much was the labor to install it?

Yes I went to the dealer, I was hoping for some assitance on the repair. I have the 4.2, was the $3900 for a remanufactured engine or a used engine?

They quoted $8000.00 for a remanufactured engine installed and $5100.00 for a used LQK engine with 80,000 miles on it. The remanufactered engine had a 3yr/100,000 mile warrenty and the LQK engine had a 12 month warrenty

Thanks for the info, what is your current mileage?

Mine has been doing the same thing using a quart about every 500 miles for 4 years. What is strange is when you change the oil it will go about 1000 to 1500 miles before it starts eating oil. What failed on yours?

I have the Michelin Latitude Tour's on mine 30K on them so far. The ride is great and wet weather handling is very good, I would definnately recommend to Tour's.

Can I pay via PayPal? Also does it have the Nav Disc?

Would you be willing to take 250.00 for it shipped? I would need to replace the buttons

Do you still have the front power seat frames with heat? If so can you post pictures? ALos, How much do you want for them?

Thanks for the info, that makes me feel a little better. Now if I could figure out where the oil is going.

Yesterday I was driving about 70 mph and the oil pressure dropped to zero and the DIC indicated to stop the engine. I pulled off the highway and into a parking lot, as I was turning in the pressure came back up to normal. I checked the oil and it was about 1 1/2 quarts low, would this cause...

:thumbsup: I agree, this is the same issue a I had. My altenator passed the Bench tests but it turned out it had a bad Diode that was causing the fluctuations. I tried a Napa brand alternator and an Autozone one and had the same issue, I ended up putting in a AC Delco from GM and have had no...
