Re: buying a 99 trailblazer

- check the front suspension components for wear as these trucks like to go through ball joints, idler arms, tie rods, wheel bearings things like that.
- check the oil cooler lines for leaks as these also tend to fail.
- check the cooling system for any leaks or sludge in the system. if the dexcool is not properly maintained, it will accelerate the deterioration of the lower intake manifold gasket. it usually fails around that mileage so i would watch it closely.
- make sure the 4 wheel drive is operating correctly
- if you can, take a scanner with you and check the computer for any trouble codes.
