#3103 of 3451 Ooops! Gas lines frooze!! by scottyj686 Jan 04, 2008 (9:17 am)
I have an'02 Blazer Extreme. I left it sitting for a few days with the tank very low(its been about 10 degrees for the past 3 weeks). Call me dumb, whatever, i'm beyond that. Anyway I'm pretty sure the lines(or whatever) are frozen and I put some Heet along with 5 gallons of gas in there. My question is what do I do next, let it sit? i've been trying to start it, hoping to try and get the Heet to start passing through and thaw out whatever is frozen. I've ran the battery dead and its recharging now. Should it have taken that long? any quick response would be nice, I kinda need it running by monday to get to work.

Replying to: scottyj686 (Jan 04, 2008 9:17 am) Scott,   How cold is it where you are now? If the lines are really the problem, and the truck is outside, you can try blocking the open area around the sides and back and blow a space heater from the front. Sort of like the skirting on a trailer. Go easy on the trying to start. If all other things are okay, it is either going to start in the first couple of rotations, or not start at all.   How do you like your xTreme? I was looking for one when we got my son his '99 four door,but they are very, very rare in Texas. Replies to this message: scottyj686 (Jan 04, 2008 10:21 am) jlflemmons (Jan 04, 2008 5:18 pm)

Replying to: jlflemmons (Jan 04, 2008 9:30 am) Well its actually the warmest its been in about 2 weeks(29 degrees). I just checked the weather report and they say it supposed to hit 37 tomorrow! Anyway, I'm not exactly sure if its the gas lines. I was just told that by a friend and he told me to put the Heet and the 5 gallons of gas. Unfortunatly he left to go to Boston for the weekend and is of no further assistance. There were a few times when I was cranking it that it seemed to catch and die just like that. Almost like it got a few drops of gas and burned it real quick. I'll try putting a heater to it, in hopes that'll do it. If not I guess I got a bigger problem. Any Ideas? When I crank it I can hear the fuel pump running so I think i'm good there.   But anyway, It's been alright to me. I have to add coolant about once a month in the summer. and thats probably a bigger problem i have to address pretty soon. I don't see any on the oil dipstick, and once this past summer it leaked right out the bottom. So i'm guessin it may be a bad seal or somethin. Let me know if you any tips on that.

Replying to: scottyj686 (Jan 04, 2008 10:21 am) These engines have a history of intake gaskets leaking coolant. I was told today by a dealer that mine has started leaking, but I sure don't see it. The antifreeze level hasn't changed, and there is nothing in the oil.   I had it at the shop as both motor mounts broke. I was all set to do the repair myself when I realized that I didn't have the tools to get into the very tight quarters. Glad I sent it over to them. Cost me $200, but it took them over four hours to get them swapped out. The tech said what I already knew. If only one is broken, you can lift the engine from underneath and it will pivot on the good mount and give you working room. If both are broken, the whole shooting match has to go straight up a couple of inches to get clearance. Took me about 20 minutes to figure out I didn't want to spend a day on my back fighting with that sucker. In case you hadn't noticed, that is one big honkin V6 to fit into such a small engine compartment!

Replying to: scout123 (May 28, 2004 3:41 am) Did the timing chain fix your noise problem? I have the same symptom but was never told of this problem by the dealer.   My 2003 Jimmy sls 4.3 liter engine has an almost constantly pinging sound (similar to a dieseling sound) when cruising. It goes away when I accelerate. I also have a 2001 slx which is starting to do exactly the same thing but not as bad.   Both start well, run well (other than the sound) and have lots of power. The 2003 has 45,000 miles on it and the 2001 has about 80,000 miles. Both have the original plugs, etc. I usually run regular gas (with 10% ethanol) but I have recently run several tanks of the highest test gas I can find with no noticeable difference.   I'm concerned this will escalate into a bigger problem, head, valves, etc., if not resolved.   Ben Replies to this message: jdoran (Jan 20, 2008 11:40 am) jdoran (Jan 20, 2008 11:40 am)
