My 2006 trailblazer just hit 100,000 miles. Is it time to trade it in?

Could be lower arm bent,did you hit anything.

The creek? Sure sounds like it. Have a mechanic listen to the knocking. Rod bearings or crank main bearings may have gone out.

Thanks for choosing FixYa and welcome to the sight.A timing chain can last 100,000 miles or more. Some can last the life of the vehicle. Here is the thing though. If it breaks, you are not going nowhere and it can cause engine damage. If you have the money and time, plus it is over 100,000, go ahead and have it done. If not, it should be fine through 125,000 miles. Some last forever and some can break before 100,000. You really just never know. The call is yours. Thanks for choosing FixYa. If you need anything else, just let me know.

if it still has oem battery replace it......they go weak and will mess with the computer

YOU HAVE A TIMING CHAIN.

second hand engine ,bewst advice here is to trade car in under the goverment scrappage scheme

There was a recall on the Crank Angle Sensor and another recall in which the engine would consume too much oil due to faulty piston rings

i have the same problem and it will cost to have it fixed.but right now we are using our trip odometer by 1st fulling up and refueling at 300 miles then resetting.as far as the check engine it could be as smple as a lose gascap. go to advance auto parts and ask them to check it.they will do it for free.if you buy the part from them you can take it back and they will clear your codes.hopes this helps you get by for a while

It actually all depends on how you treat your car, any car that someone has put more than 80000 miles in 2 years is questionable, but if you have had no problems and you trust the car keep it.

Hi, what are the symptoms, what is it actually doing?
