    Steering angle / position sensor - Fix for $30 USD

    Thanks for this, I grabbed the "wrong" part for $20 on eBay and it appears to have worked perfectly (with a little more supergluing than anticipated). The only real difficulty was the final install, I think I wasn't completely flush at first.

    Sway Bar link washer

    Bumping this old thread with the same question, but for the rear on my '08. I've changed these out on my '02 more times than I can count but I've never received a single washer. What's the consensus? Top or bottom and in what order?

    Front constant 12V Power other than DC outlets?

    Thank you, I connected everything last night and it does appear to be constant power. Everything seems to be working as expected. I might downsize the fuse as well.

    Front constant 12V Power other than DC outlets?

    This just might work, I forgot about this. I'll take a look tonight. Orange is constant 12V, correct?

    Front constant 12V Power other than DC outlets?

    Thanks, I actually took the time to remove everything and to run a wire from the Rainsense fuse in the rear to add a PAC AAI-GM12 and an additional DC outlet on the switched 12V power. Unfortunately the PAC adapter's audio quality was poor so I removed the PIE adapter from my 2002 Trailblazer...

    Front constant 12V Power other than DC outlets?

    Thanks but I forgot to mention I'm specifically trying to avoid the radio harness. It's looking like the DC outlet might be my only option.

    Front constant 12V Power other than DC outlets?

    I'm in the process on installing an AUX adapter (PIE GM12-AUX) that requires constant 12V power to function properly. On my old Trailblazer I tapped one of the DC outlets but I'm wondering if there are any other options for 12V constant power under the dash, specifically on the passenger side...

    What year Envoy or Trailblazer would you buy if you had to replace yours?

    Ah I do remember reading threads on that years ago regarding the odometer. I saw limequat's name come up when searching so I will send him a message when the time comes.

    What year Envoy or Trailblazer would you buy if you had to replace yours?

    I just did exactly this. My 02 has been falling apart for years now (and has been solely a winter/second vehicle since 2013). Michigan is not kind to cars as many of you know. An EVAP related stalling issue was the last straw for me. I love 360s and needed a replacement. The way the used...

    Looking at a used '08, possible exhaust manifold leak?

    Update: it's definitely the exhaust manifold, there's a huge crack at the Y. I have the shield off and will be changing everything out once I have some time. The squealing noise is the SAIS which I will be deleting once I get sick of it or when it throws a code.

    Looking at a used '08, possible exhaust manifold leak?

    Thanks, at least I know what I'm dealing with now!

    Looking at a used '08, possible exhaust manifold leak?

    I'm looking to replace my aging 02 with an 08 Trailblazer I6 that I found for sale locally. The main issue is that there is significant exhaust noise coming from the engine bay. My guess is it's the exhaust manifold (luckily I never had this issue on my 02 but I know it's common). It was...

    Sumitomo Encounter HT?

    Thanks, why do you no longer use them? The one I mentioned seems to have equal or better ratings than most competing tires.

    Sumitomo Encounter HT?

    Does anyone have any experience with Sumitomo Encounter HTs on their 360? My 02 Trailblazer is no longer my daily driver so it mainly sees winter use, but enough all season use to prevent me from just getting winter tires. I'm not looking to spend much money and these seem to be cheap and...

    First to second hesitant shift, what's the issue and what should/could I replace?

    Thanks, I'm not looking to add anything extra at this point, just change whatever is causing this (assuming I can do it myself or cheaply). It sounds like adding that kit didn't solve this issue for you unless I'm misunderstanding. At this point considering I only drive my truck a few times a...
