Have any idea how the gas mileage is on the road?
I also had the alarm system and remote start installed, in addition to the sound-proofing package.
Gas mileage is presently around 16mpg in the city, but I haven't taken it on the highway, yet.
The only issue I've had so far is with the stereo system. I had the standard system, but it just doesn't give me the sound that I want. The Bose system didn't come with the one I bought, so I'm going to have a better quality system installed this week.
Just hit the 1,000 mile mark, and it's great!
Vic.
ps. This is a great forum, love the conversation!
I still haven't heard much from the front speakers under the windshield, though. Are they just for chimes? Can you hear anything from them?
Thanks. I'd rather have the same system, than two less airbags. Haha

She's my first black vehicle (Onyx black with pewter two tone trim) and very nice pewter (two toned) leather interior. The stereo is better than the Mach system in my former car, the Mustang. I love my SUV! It is a very sharp looking vehicle. Nice deal also...we got the rebate and the 0% interest, nice trade and are very happy. The dealer was terrific.
Donjoy asked about the simonize. Well think the dealer has to get some money! We detail our own vehicles using Pinnacle Souveran wax (expensive but incredible) and other products that many pro detailers use.
My spouse, not to be outdone, bought another vehicle too...keeping the Blue Oval folks happy. His is sportier, but I love my Trailblazer. Really like OnStar and all the electronic extras. Have everything programmed to a "T" now and find I like driving even more than ever.
Has anybody experienced this? If so, what was the cause and how did they fix it?
Thanks for any advice!
One: Adjust the stand off post on the left and right of the hood. With the hood closed, I could lift mine up slightly. I turned each a quarter turn at a time to exted it until this play was almost totally gone. The has stoped the noise you are talking about.
Two: Early on I had a major squeak that turned out to be from one of the plastic wheelwell fasteners. It was located on the right side under the air cleaner. I was resting on top of a line fitting and you could see the polish area when I snipped off the end of the fastener.
Hope these help!
Thanks again!
Rebadan,
In fact, I just brought my TB to the dealership. They claim they found a loose clip and replaced it. However, they did not remedy the problem.
While at the dealership, I had an interesting conversation with a fellow '02 TB owner (purchased in July '01). He hears a suspension noise as well. According to this owner, early TB models had front stabilizer problems.
What have they done with the front stablizer? Did they tell the owner oh well, live with it or get a different vehicle?
The mechanic I'm dealing with where I bought the vehicle has never heard of this problem (or so he says).
The dealers mechanic cannot duplicate the noise and they said nobody else is reporting this problem.
If you are experiencing this noise with your 2002 Trailblazer LS Model, please report it to GM Motors.
So far there have been a few people complaining about this problem. If enough people go to GM about this issue, they may just address it and fix the problem.
Some tips have come through to try to resolve the noise, but the annoying chirping noise on certain roads and bumps is still there.
Thank you.
The owner had not yet brought his TB to the dealership for this issue.
I suggest you invite the service writer or mechanic to take a ride with you so they can witness the noise.
Next week, I plan to bring my TB to another dealership to fix the suspension noise. I will let you know.

The computer had to be re programed because it had a valve clatter so loud I thought something came loose. The second day I had it I found screws loose under the hood on the hood support arm. It sometimes bumps into gear in low & others it takes too long to shift into the next gear. Aside from this it rides nice & pulls my boat very well.
4 windows. I have found several types (3M stick-on, clip on,
insert in window channel) but am not sure which is best. Has
anyone out there have window vents and care to comment
on their satisfaction for the type? I installed "autovent" from
the local auto parts store to my 1996 GMC Jimmy which used
the 3M tape and they fit perfect and lasted for the 7 years I
owned it. They are great for summer rains and heat disipation. Thanks for any advice on experience with the
Trailblazers.
Can someone please fill me in on the reliability of these vehicles? I haven't heard great things about chevy but in the same, I've heard they've been changing their ways. Please please help me, I'm going coocoo over here trying to decide what to buy
Thanks for your help!
Lower the park brake lever.
Raise the park brake lever.
Lift the park brake lever boot to gain access to the multiplier lever at the front of the park brake lever assembly.
Pivot the multiplier lever up and down 3 times.
Cycle the park brake lever up and down three times for auto adjustment.
Lower the park brake lever boot.
Thanks
