Well the fucking piece of shit drive line on my 06 Trailblazer shit the bed AGAIN and went on the tow truck to Bob Jass Chevy in Elburn (I know nothing about them other than my girlfriends brother in law knows people there) since it blew while pulling out of the gas station on 23 in Sycamore and I'm stranded in DeKalb until I can get a rental tomorrow.
I pulled out of the gas station like a normal human being, didn't get on it and BOOM, no more Drive or 3rd gear, stabilitrac light on and I coasted into an empty parking lot. I knew when I heard the boom that both I and my SS were fucked and it sounded a lot like what I went thru before when I had the front splines on the passenger side half shaft eat themselves back in January. Difference is when the splines went I had no forward gears only reverse and although the sound was the same the symptoms were different. Just for the nay-sayers and people that don't know me NO I DON'T BEAT ON MY SS FOR THE SIMPLE FACT THAT I CAN'T AFFORD THIS SHIT. Regardless I'll find out whats wrong soon enough and be stuck in a rental until I can get this thing fixed. Oh that's after I try to get a loan thru my credit union to get this shit payed for. The splines was a touch under $3000 and if its the trans this time (which I'm starting to think more and more that it is) its going to be a hell of a lot more.
Now the decision to keep this thing is getting even harder to decide. Maybe I should just say fuck it and trade it in for a Jeep SRT8 or a Sierra Denali?
