Bravada Engine

Renegade_Z · 02-01-2009, 03:15 PM

OK guys heres the thing Im at work and this guy calls looking for a starter for his 02 Bravada. He says it has a 4.3 in it and our computer system says it has a 4.2 DOHC motor in it. Sure enough its the 4.2. Can anybody tell me if the 4.2 is just in the Bravada? Power ratings? Trans? Etc. Thanks for any help.

Ya, it's no longer an s series in 2002. The engine is a I6, somthing like 285 hp @6000 rpm.

The LL8 (or Vortec 4200), is a straight-6 truck engine. It was the first Atlas engine, and was designed for GM's new SUV line. It displaces 4.2 L (4160 cc, 254 cu in)[1], with a 93 mm (3.7 in) bore and 102 mm (4 in) stroke. When introduced, this engine's power was 270 hp (205 kW) @ 6000 rpm and torque was 275 ft·lbf (373 N·m) @ 3600 RPM. 2003 saw a slight bump in power to 275 hp (205 kW), while torque was unchanged. For 2006, power was increased to 291 hp (217 kW) @ 6000 rpm and torque to 277 ft·lbf (376 N·m) @ 4800 rpm with the addition of a MAF and a complete internal redesign of the engine. The Atlas LL8 was on the Ward's 10 Best Engines list for 2002 through 2005. Engine redline is 6300 rpm.
LL8 Applications:

2002-2007 GMC Envoy, Envoy XL, and Envoy XUV
2002-2007 Chevrolet TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer EXT
2002-2004 Oldsmobile Bravada
Buick Rainier
Isuzu Ascender
Saab 9-7X

I think they made both models that year, the midsize and the s series truck.

C&P

Oldsmobile's version of the redesigned General Motors midsize sport-utility vehicles shared a new body-on-frame platform with the 2002 Chevrolet TrailBlazer and GMC Envoy. Each had its own styling, inside and out, and rode a wheelbase 6 inches longer than before. Bodies were longer, wider, and taller by 5 inches. All shared a new inline six-cylinder engine, which developed 80 horsepower more than their previous V6. A four-speed automatic was the sole transmission. For the first time, Bravada was available with two-wheel drive, which included traction control. The four-wheel-drive version used Oldsmobile's SmartTrac all-wheel-drive system, which did not include low-range gearing. Antilock four-wheel disc brakes and 17-inch alloy wheels were standard. GM's new SUV design lacked an independent rear suspension, though Bravadas could have an air-spring rear suspension in place of coil springs. Standard front side airbags included head protection for the driver. Seating for five was standard. Unlike TrailBlazer and Envoy, Bravada did not offer an extended seven-passenger model. Bravada was slated to go out of production during 2004, before a full life cycle, as part of the phaseout of the Oldsmobile brand. Rivals included the Ford Explorer, Honda Pilot, and Toyota Highlander.
