But before we get to that, a quick little back story. This Trailblazer SS had a hot cam applied along with a high stall converter and 2WD conversion keeping the 4L60e. It was recently purchased and the engine failed in the worst possible way shortly after that.

Here is a video on the engine removal..

2005-2006 Trailblazer SS is supposed to have a 24x engine. The beginning of gen iv still used the 24x crank wheel. But as we tore down this engine we saw a 58x wheel. This video is an understanding of how the 58x motor was found in the 24x vehicle..


These are our thoughts on the proper way to chase power and our plan to move forward with making lemonade for this Trailblazer SS..
