The 1970 K-5 Blazer is not as rare as the 69 which they only made 4935 of but the 70 was right behind it with 11,527 that were produced and after 43 years many of these are rusted out and in the bone yard. The high NADA value of this rig is 30k and average is 11,500k look it up for your self. This K-5 is in excellent condition it has spent the large majority of its life in a garage and is rust free it currently has a new motor 5k on it with valve guides that are set up to run with ethanol fuel, rv cam, new rebuilt transmission and transfer case np 205, 307 gears in front and rear so it will run 75 mph down the freeway with no strain on the motor,  new brake pads and drums, new master cylinder and booster, new leaf springs, new fuel pump and line, new gas tank and fuel sending unit, all new radiator and heater hoses, belts, vacuum hoses, battery, battery cables, wiring under hood has all been redone, new exhaust gaskets and donuts, carburetor has been rebuilt stock 4 barrel quadrajet (750cfm), new rear and front wheel bearings, all fluids recently changed,  heavy duty aftermarket drive line, rancho shocks and front stabilizer shock, new spark plugs, wires, and distributor. I currently have 12 k Invested in this vehicle and 1000s of hours of labor. Ac system is all brand new and works perfectly, i just replaced all of the ac/heating duct hoses, I have the bottom heat register, i just sealed the bottom of the duct box off because the flapper door broke so it blows super cold through the top vents, it is a 100 dollar fix from old air products for a new duct box, but it works fine just the way it is. There is also no glove box just because i use the center console and the glove boxes were cardboard so if you put anything heavy in there is will tear it up, the glove box is a 12 dollar purchase if you wanted to put one in. My Loss is your gain, I think the only part i have not replaced on this blazer is the power steering pump and it works great. There should not be anything that you would have to do to this truck it is in excellent mechanical condition and i use it as a daily driver. It also has all new body mounts. I have all of the receipts and warranty info from all of the parts i bought as well.

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.

GM recalls 3,300 pickups and SUVs for new ignition-switch issue [UPDATE]

Mon, Oct 19 2015

UPDATE: A statement from GM about the recall has been added below. The exact total of vehicles affected is 3,296, including 3,073 of them in the US. General Motors isn't letting an ignition-switch problem grow into a massive scandal again. The automaker is recalling about 3,300 North American trucks and SUVs. They are: the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra and the 2015 Chevy Suburban and Chevy Tahoe, as well as 2015 model heavy-duty pickups, the Detroit News reports, citing an Associated Press story. The issue appears to have been caught fairly quickly. In this case, the keys can get stuck in the "start" position and then slip to "accessory" if bumped. This is because the ignition lock gears have an outer diameter that's larger than the specifications allow. When that happens the engine shuts off, and the driver loses assistance to the steering and brakes. The airbags might also be affected. The vehicles get a new ignition-lock housing to fix the problem. According to the Detroit News, an employee who experienced the problem with the switch discovered the issue, and this person then let officials at the automaker know as part of the Speak Up for Safety program. A total of five reports of the fault were discovered. However, there are no cases of injuries or crashes. The claims to the automaker's resolution program eventually tallied that GM's previous ignition switch problem included 124 deaths and 275 injuries. The company also had to recall millions of vehicles and pay significant fines to the US government. GM Statement General Motors is recalling 3,073 full-size trucks from the 2014 and 2015 model years in the U.S. Some of these vehicles may have an ignition lock actuator gear with an outer diameter that exceeds specifications, which may make turning the ignition key difficult. The ignition key could get stuck in the "start" position. This may be more likely at higher interior ambient temperatures. If the vehicle is driven with the key stuck in the "start" position, and the vehicle experiences a significant jarring event or the vehicle's interior temperature cools, the ignition lock cylinder could move out of the "start" position, rotate past the "run" position, and move into the "accessory" position, leading to loss of power steering assist, power brakes and potentially air bag deployment in certain crashes. Dealers will replace the ignition lock housing.
