They are listed as 99 up. I've always used the metal ones on everything and reused them a few times if they were in good shape after removing the pump. Hell I've reused almost all the exterior gaskets quite a few times.... oil pan/valve cover/timing cover/intake/water pump, Just check them first.

haha i like you,your cool...yea i used the metal ones on my ls swapped blazer just checking because we just bought a 2006 trailblazer ss oh yea,its sweet,but has the same ole problem as most,the oil pan gasket is leaking and its leaking coolant some where in the front.so right now im just trying to clean as much oil and coolant and what ever else is there so i can try and find it and fix it.i have some extra metal ones,i even put a small amount of grey rtv silicone,hell it helps hold them in place if anything.my blazer doesnt leak any where.

heres something,not sure if your aware of,but almost all of the trailblazer ss guys have had to replace their oil pan gaskets because of leaks,whats the deal with this.they all use mobile 1 oil,hell it even says it on the oil cap,but ive never used it,ive always used castrol,i put royal purple in my 6.0 blazer,as for the SS im thinking of changing to a different brand or maybe from 5w to 10w.but good lord it takes 6.5 qtz
