Trailblazer LT

  • Automatic transmission
  • 140,000 miles

I have to say that I was surprised that the steering fluid cooler on this machine (at 14 years) has the cooler leaking a tiny bit of fluid. Actually the quality of steel chosen for this year of Trailblazer is terrible. I've got a 27 year old Buick Riviera that is a dream and I drive it everyday! There's no real option but to replace the cooler and Dorman makes one for $122 (Amazon), which I also thought was a bit steep. It seems easy enough to change and it is located on the low pressure return line so it only connects to the hoses with factory clamps. Just very disappointing like a lot of things on this machine!
