Another Calgary Trailblazer. Sure do see a lot of them around the city!
Anyone in Calgary have access to a GM Scan Tool for doing a Case relearn?
Got a PCM For Less tune and am a little nervous about going to the dealer and having them over-charge and/or re-flash my PCM.
I had South Auto Pro do mine a few years back for a case of beer.... just phoned them.... they want me to book in my vehicle and the whole nine. told the guy to go shove it. Still looking to see who else does it without charging a half hour of labor for what is literally a 2 min operation to complete.
Phone around and tell people you replaced your Crankshaft Angle Sensor, most people understand what you require after you tell them that
I wouldnt let Canadian Tire touch my TB even if they paid me. You could always call NAPA and ask them. Ill talk to my buddy at southgate and see if he can sneak you in. Southgates in the S.E. by Lake Sundance. Can you drive there if I can get him to sneak you in. It would be free...
Sounds good. Ill call him after work. Ill send you a PM with the time and date. Look forward to meeting you as well. Doesnt seem like any calgary Trailvoyers come on this site much... I see 5 TB's every day on the way to work. And there the same ones.
Yeah, I see a bunch going too and from work on the Deerfoot as well as in my neighborhood. There looks to be an Envoy on my street that took off the side mouldings but left his Envoy badges on.
Would love to see how your lift looks as I am trying to convince the wife that it would look better than stock. No luck so far. :no:
Ya it took me lots of convincing to get the wifey to "approve it". I get compliments on it every day. If you decide to do the lift Im more then happy to help you install it. Took me about 2.5 hours. Ive seen so many TB's and Voys with mods lately. Last week before the long weekend I had to renew my registration and parked front bumper to front bumper with another TB. Started walking away and looked back and couldnt believe how small my TB was before lol.
Notice much of a drop in fuel economy since you lifted and put the 32s on yours? I'm a little worried about making my TB super expensive to drive when all I usually do is tool around the city.
Haha, don't let the off-roaders hear you talk about washing your rig. :laugh:
I'm too cheap to pay for washing. I just use my condos crappy wash stall.
Lol, ya its been moving along at a good pace. Ive been wanting to do the mirror thing so bad, but Im not all that good with the electrical stuff. I read the "how to" and still dont get it...:bonk:
I have noticed alittle drop in fuel economy. Not much though. With the CAI, exhuast and chip it was really really good before the lift. It still is really good.
For the exhaust all I was talking about was the Res Delete. I love the sound of my TB now. Sounds really good a WOT! I guess the CAI ect..really help out to.
The intake was so easy and really isnt all that special. I just wasnt paying $300-$400 for a K&N. Mine is still in the works. Its on there but Im going to be changing the look of it.
As far as washing it goes... We need to out here in Alberta. Mclean creek mud is so bad for a Truck. It sucks all the moisture out of everything which then creates rust.(As Im sure you know) The good old wash bays under ground. 3 years ago I used to live in Shawnessy in the condos right behinde Canadian tire. The wash bay wasnt to bad, but I usually got complaints from washing the mud off my Quads lol.
True, I need to wash my TB. Gotten very lazy with this heat. Actually I was great about doing it during winter as I didn't want snow, ice and salt all over my TB. I should go wash it sometime this week.
The mirror I have on it right now has the plug in the back and its hooked up, but I think its only for the airbag light and the on star. I dont see alittle box in the corner for temp or compass. How much would you want for the mirror? Ill buy the $10 piece if you dont mind helping me do it?
Do you use your airbag light? The mirror I have doesn't have the indicator just temp and compass. Say $40 for the mirror? I'll give you the harness for the ambient sensor (grabbed 3 of them at Pick N Pull when the dealer wanted almost $40 for a standard freaking harness! :hissy. For sure I can help you rig it up, I have some wire and connectors. Very satisfying to see the temp show up on the mirror after fiddling in the engine bay. :woot:
I did the exhaust my self in 25 minutes. So easy to do. I bought a nice pipe at Crappy tire and an exhaust clamp. Its been on there almost since day 1 and I havent had a problem with it.
Did you go stright out like the resonator or to the side? I'm thinking it might look good to have a stainless tip coming out the side behind the wheel.
The heat has been killing me lol. The wife and I live in a townhouse and yesterday the temp was 26 inside:sadcry: 2 days ago I pulled the TB out on the drive way and used my pressure washer to really get at it. Pissed some neighbors off because of the noise, but oh well. It looked great for about an hour until I took it out on the highway. Now the front end is covered with mosquitos. I think the temp is supposed to be 29 today
Yeah, it has been harsh the past while. But I can't complain, at least it isn't raining.
Past couple days the temp my TB displays has been approaching 30 when it is sitting in the sun. Thank god for air conditioning in the TB! Wish I had it in the house...
