There are three engine choices available for the 2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer, starting from a 4.2L 6-cylinder to a 6.0L V8, with a 5.3L V8 in between. All variants in the 2006 model incorporate a timing chain, which can be viewed as either advantageous or disadvantageous, depending on one's perspective. Many experts consider timing chains to be more reliable. If you maintain proper upkeep, you generally won't need to worry about your timing chain, as they are designed to last over 250,000 miles. Nevertheless, unexpected issues can arise, leading to a scenario where you may need to replace it. Unfortunately, the cost of replacement could be substantial, potentially reaching up to $3,000, not including any additional damage that the failure could have caused to other parts of the engine.
