Picked up this hurt 2008 Saab 9-7X Aero last week and here's the gist of it. Engine has at least a spun rod bearing, hopefully that's all. It sounds absolutely horrid. The engine is coming out and being rebuilt completely on the channel! For those who don't know what this is it is similar to the Trailblazer SS, which is a Trailblazer with the 6.0l LS2 out of the 2005-2007 base and Grand Sport Corvettes. With the "truck" intake and a slightly more restrictive exhaust (soon to be changed) the Aero and SS were rated at 390 HP and 395 lb-ft for torque, with a 0-60 MPH in under 6 seconds with help of AWD. This toy is going to be a lot of fun and make some great content for you viewer so stay tuned and subscribe so you don't miss anything! Quick 6.0l PowerStroke update, most parts are in and it will start going together soon so stay tuned! Sorry the audio is off at the end.
