Helping out a buddy & getting me some mod money.. Changing out a motor in a trail blazer sucks ***. Pulling the old motor wasn't that bad, but putting the new motor back in was a b I t c h... 3 hours to pull it & 7 plus & still ain't done.. Hope to finish tomorrow early.. Don't wanna ever do one of these again.

 

pull it with the trans? i now its a bitch when you dont to put it back in

 

Naw just the motor. The damn oil pan & tb. I don't understand how it came out so easy. Once I got it in then I had to fight with the damn heater hose that bolts to the transmission. All I got to tomorrow is bolt everything up & hope theirs nothing wrong with the junk yard motor..

 

try doing a 2.2 on a 2000 sonoma.

 

Charge him overtime

 

Oh I did like the hole for the torque converter bolts.. Lol

Hey kid, if it's anything like this trail blazer I don't want NONE...

 

LOL I need too.. I wonder how much a shop would charge. I'm doing it for 400.

 

hmm, my brothers trailblazer sent the engine south, he had it replaced and the total was over 8,000., its a 5.3, his warranty covered it, but after closer inspection of his invoice, it was a reman engine from the zone or similiar, i laughed my *** off

 

8k.. damn I have been robbed. LoL
Job got done @ 1:00.. Ran nice & smooth..
Made me a 100 dollar tip.
