I pulled the trigger on a Summit White 07 Trailblazer SS w/50k miles for the wifey last week. It's got "certified preowned" status which gives me the 100k mile powertrain warranty. It seems to be well taken care of. Body and paint are perfect (not a single scratch or stone chip), interior is perfect, wheels are an 8 out of 10 with some chips in the clearcoat.
My question is...Is there anything special I need to know about the LS2? It won't be raced or abused, so I figure regular oil changes with good syn oil should suffice. Are there any common problems that I should be on the lookout for. Any extra special attention that the SS model requires? I searched one of the TBSS forums, but didn't find the answers I was looking for. I figure since this is a site full of LTx/LSx gearheads, someone else in here probably has one, or knows alot about them. |

Ours is one of the early '06's (first one the dealer got), totally stock and we have 47,000 miles service free miles on it. A lot of those miles were towing either the Camaro or Solstice on an open trailer. I autocrossed it at a PCA event a couple of weeks ago and it surprised me and most of the people there with its composure.
We had the floppy front bumper issue which I fixed myself and we do have the rocker and rear door rash that's covered under a TSB but I've never bothered with it. We bought it for me and my wife hijacked it. |

I noticed the area in front of the rear wheels looks pretty vulnerable. I was thinking about that 3M clearguard stuff. What does the TSB say? I don't know about the "floppy bumper issue". |

It's very vulnerable. The TSB is for a repaint if necessary and applying the 3M film. The floppy bumper was also referred to as shaky fog lights. The TSB added braces at the bottom of the bumper. That one may have been picked up at the factory later in production. I made up my own and bolted it on. Took less time than 2 trips to the dealer would have. There's plenty of information on both at TrailblazerSS.com. |
