Damn I was going through the thread and figured a dyno video or track vid would be next and BAM chipped pistons... Very sorry to see that fella, get her back together and try again!

**Koniig** · 04-27-2011

I am sorry for your lots. :C

That sux dude. I had to sell my 07 when I had my daughter. Id say go for the concept the had for the Colorado SS. Pretty much a 2wd trailblazer setup or just sa f*** it and get a LS1 in there I think it was sum dude in Tennessee that did that not sure been outta that scene for a few years. remember tho in 07 GM made a few changes in the I4 and I5. All this you probably know.

Nice price for it being that complete! Did you get to hear it run prior to being pulled?

**Kejross** · 05-03-2011

Nice!

**chevyy1212** · 05-04-2011

Thats not a bad deal.

**MrPoopyButthole** · 05-04-2011

Oh snap...that blows. Glad to see you got a replacement already.

**BLKGP** · 05-05-2011

so i picked it up toady and guess what? the stripped all the accessories and hacked up the harness! f*ckin assholes.... whatever, they sold it to me for $650 instead of $800.. still a better deal than LQK wanting 1200 for one..

had a cracked valve cover which i already knew about.. so i swapped those out real quick along with my fuel rail and injectors..

these are some of the leftover parts

**Poil336** · 05-05-2011

those bastards. so... is this one getting the turbo too?

**TLSheff** · 05-06-2011

Nice Delivery Truck!!!

Glad you got the engine, sux that they hacked all the crap but I think it'd be better to just have the main engine go back in and use the parts you have that you KNOW work vs risking a broken wire causing problems or bad sensors or something like that later down the road, now you use all your old stuff with just the motor...

and don't forget the turbo, just get it properly tuned this time

nope, i pulled the starter out and the TC bolts were easy as hell to access, i don't think there's any way i could have gotten a wrench or ratchet in that access hole lol

TADA!!!!!!!
