Death Gamer

Hello everyone, My name is Brodie and I am 14. I own a 2005 Trailblazer LS, Inline 6 engine, Vortec 4200, 275HP and 275 ft-lbs.

This is my first car and I feel like I know a lot about cars, But I would like to know every little thing about my car. for example air to fuel ratio, compression ratio, common problems. ETC.
Also, I would like to upgrade it a bit so if anyone has any recommended aftermarket parts, please let me know.

I'm fairly new to these vehicles, myself, so I don't know a whole lot about them, but I would strongly suggest that you edit your post and remove your email address.

Inline I-6 gasoline motors are rare these days. Chevy used to build lots of them like the 235 and 250 cubic inch I-6 back long ago. They can run a VERY long time, as they are inherently balanced. All heavy-duty semi-trucks have only inline six cylinder motors for a reason, but those are turbo-charged diesel motors. Back in the old days I used to hear of the I-6 motors running for 500k. Not as much HP as a V-6 or V8 but heavy on the torque. My old Jeep CJ-5 I-6 258 cubic inch is still running with NO work done to other then a Cloyes timing chain and that was not due to wear. I did it to increase dependability and longevity. It seems to have worked.My brother owns it now.

Brodie, forums are for open discussion. We don't really email each other. (and you're about to start receiving a lot of spam).

Dig into wikipedia, and let us know if you have any specific questions. Good luck.
