I have a 2005 Trailblazer LS 4.2L motor. I was having any issue with shifting out of 2nd gear so the truck would not get above 40MPH, it was just rev up when it was time to change to 3rd gear. The check engine light was on so I pulled the codes and it came back that I needed a speed sensor. I...

Short-time reader, first-time questioner here. I recently got an 05 LT EXT for a song, but there are a few quirks that I need to clear up before I trust that it's road worthy. First I'll start with the things that I believe are connected. Both brake warning lights are on and the speedometer...

Recently my 2003 Trailblazer (4.2 V6) transmission lost power while driving on the freeway. I decided to do a full tune up on the vehicle in hopes that it would fix the problem. I changed the transmission fluid and filter and replaced the spark plugs. For two days, my car was running like a...

Hey guys, I need some expert opinions on what has proven to be a hard issue to resolve. I bought a 2004 Trailblazer 4.2L about 2 months ago. About a week or so after I owned it, it started to seem quite sluggish to me, and it also shifted hard, especially in the lower gears. Then the check...

I took my 04 TB into the shop because the battery would go dead if not driven for a couple of days. Prior to this, I was experiencing some performance issues (rough idle, lower fuel mileage, shifting at higher RPM in low gears, etc). I think the battery might have had a bad cell (brand new 6...

Question about a transmission issue. My '03 Ascender has 123k miles. Just recently the truck gets a little "boost" while shifting from 1st to 2nd. This only happens if I accelerate slowly or quickly. If I do a real smooth acceleration, the little boost is not felt. Thanks for the help. JT
