 Up for auction is a very clean 90 K5 Blazer.  It is currently being used as an everyday driver.  All maintenance has been kept up and are all current.  It has the factory throttle body injected 5.7 350 engine.  700R4 4 speed automatic transmission.  Just did major tune up recently.  Including spark plugs, ignition wires, distributor cap and rotor.  Alternator and starter are new.  Battery is about a year old.  Coolant temp and MAP sensors are new.  Fresh 5W30 Mobil One synthetic oil change.  New transmission filter and fluid.  Still has the factory front and rear axles with the 3.73 gears and rear limited slip.  New air filter and fuel filter.  The AC still has the R12 freon and I had it repaired and recharged.  It will freeze you out.  Rear brakes, drums, hardware and wheel cylinders were replaced.  Front rotors and brake pads are new.  Tires have over 85 percent life left on them.  They are 33X12.50R15 Goodyear MT/R tires mounted on American Racing 15X10 black steel wheels.  Power steering gear box has a slow leak.  Suspension is also new with 4" Procomp lift.  Front spring was replaced with Procomp lift spring and rear is 4" iron block.  Steering are was replaced and body mounts were replaced with Energy Suspension bushings.  All shocks are new with the lift.  Has factory dual front shock set up.  Procomp factory replacement steering stablizer.  The road manner is excellent.  The Offroad capability is also surprisingly well.  Took it rock crawling up in Big Bear CA month ago and had no problems what so ever. 

The exterior was repainted in the factory red color because the original paints clear coat was coming off.  I had a body shop strip it down and respray it.  The top I had painted satin black because I think it looks better then the red.  The body is rust free and strait.  Even the doors line up perfectly and shut like new.  All the weather stripping was replaced after the paint work was done.  The windshield is also brand new.  The grille was showing its age so I had them paint it satin black.  I think it looks cleaner then the black and chrome.  The bumpers are still factory and have some dings here and there but look okay from 5 feet.  Was thinking about having them redone in satin black also.  I just had a class IV hitch installed with trailer brakes and 7 pin connector for towing. 

The interior is mostly original.  The carpet is brand new replacement.  the factory side panels in the rear were cardboard and the material was looking worn so I had new ones made and had it covered in faux suede. The doors also have the same material in the inserts.  It looks great and custom.  The headliner was replaced in the past.  It is still good.  All the trim is in good shape.  The dash pad is the only bad thing, it has a few cracks.  The radio is the factory installed tape player with the eq.  It still works, just use the tape adapter for my ipod.  I changed all the dash lights to smd led bulbs and it looks awsome at night.  Nice and bright, even a hid blue color.  The driver bottom seat it starting to tear, the other seats are good, I just had them cleaned.  The fuel guage doesn't work correctly, was told it needs a sending unit.  I might have it repaired before the end of auction.  All depending on time.  I just keep it full and watch the trip odo.


I'm not really wanting to sell it, but other priorities have come up.  I have put a lot of money into it and love driving it.  I don't want to sell it but life makes us do things we don't like anyway.  I have always wanted a K5 Blazer and now I have to sell it.  The reserve is a lot lower then most being sold.  If you have any questions about the truck please let me know.  I drove it to Salt Lake and back 3 months ago.  Got 15 mpg.

Electric Cadillac Lyriq, Chevy Bolt EUV and more GM electric cars are on the way

Wed, Mar 4 2020

GM’s murky and somewhat secretive electric car plan is falling into place, as the company dumped a massive amount of information about whatÂ’s in the pipeline at an event at its Warren, Michigan campus today. New EVs are going to be popping up across the GM brand lineup, with new entries from Chevrolet, Cadillac, GMC and Buick in progress. We also learned some big news about GMÂ’s new Ultium battery tech today, but check out this story for all of those nitty-gritty details. The electric vehicle onslaught will begin with the Cadillac Lyriq, an electric SUV thatÂ’s already been teased out. Naming it the Lyriq is the news today. No explanation for the name was provided, so weÂ’ll have to wait for April to learn more. GM didnÂ’t specifically say if the Lyriq would be launched at the NY Auto Show, but that show (assuming coronavirus doesnÂ’t cancel it) will begin on April 8 this year. Next up in the order of events is the GMC Hummer electric truck that we know will be launching on May 20. This truck will use GMÂ’s modular Ultium battery technology. However, the wait to buy a GMC Hummer will be a long one, as the truck isnÂ’t going to dive into production until fall 2021 at GMÂ’s Detroit-Hamtramck plant. GM revealed that its new modular Ultium batteries can be configured anywhere from a 50 kWh pack to a 200 kWh pack depending on the application. Range is estimated to be about 400 miles on the upper end with the largest battery pack, and GM continues to boast about a 0-60 mph acceleration time of three seconds. Charging estimates for the Ultium battery-equipped Hummer EV were also provided. GM says its truck platform will have 800-volt battery packs and be capable of 350 kW fast-charging. Time estimates werenÂ’t given, but those numbers suggest the truck will be a rapid charger. The Hummer truck on hand, which was the same that previously starred in GMC's Super Bowl spot, showed off removable roof panels that store in the frunk, as well as what appeared to be a version of GMC's Multi-Pro tailgate. It also featured sail panels on the sides, similar to those in front of the bed of the Chevy Avalanche. In addition to the Hummer, expect to see a couple Chevys launching. GM says the refreshed Bolt EV will be launched “in late 2020” with a refreshed interior and what appear to be thicker front seats.

2015 Chevy Colorado takes Motor Trend Truck of the Year calipers [w/videos]

Wed, Dec 3 2014

The final winner of Motor Trend's prestigious Golden Calipers has been named, with the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado taking the title of 2015 Truck of the Year, likely shocking those who thought Ford's all-aluminum, next-generation F-150 would take the crown. But win the Colorado did, beating not only the new Ford, but two other brutish Blue Ovals in the F-450 and Transit. The midsize pickup also bested its brethren from General Motors, beating the heavy-duty Chevy Silverado 3500, GMC Sierra Denali 2500 and the GMC Canyon, the Colorado's fraternal twin. After an unprecedented two-year stint with the Golden Calipers, Ram sat this year's awards out. Most impressive about the Colorado's victory isn't that it simply beat the US market's other trucks, it did so with a unanimous vote. Praise from MT's editors focused on the trucklet's price, spacious interior, fit and finish and performance. Former Autoblog staffer Jonny Lieberman called the Colorado's steering the best he'd "ever experienced on any truck, full stop," in MT's awards article. "After days of testing, hundreds of miles on the road, and our most rigorous truck testing program to date, our editors unanimously selected the Chevy Colorado as our 2015 Truck of the Year," said MT boss Edward Loh. "Colorado is a smart, capable, and refreshingly honest truck that makes a strong value and efficiency statement. It's perfectly sized and suited for the needs of many of today's truck users." The Colorado joins the 2015 Volkswagen Golf and 2015 Honda CR-V among Motor Trend 2015 award winners.

Smaller Cars Endure Big Problems On Crash Test

Wed, Jan 22 2014

In a crash test of 11 of the smallest cars on the market, only one vehicle received an acceptable rating. The rest received marginal or poor ratings in the study, providing evidence that supports a widely held notion that smaller cars are among the least safe on the road. No other vehicle group has performed as poorly on a new crash test than these mini cars, says the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the nonprofit group that conducted the testing. The latest results of which were released Wednesday. The Chevrolet Spark was the only car earning an overall "acceptable" rating on the small-front overlap test, and even that vehicle had its shortcomings, IIHS said. "Small lightweight vehicles have an inherent safety disadvantage," said Joe Nolan, the senior vice president for vehicle research at IIHS. "That's why it's even more important to choose one with the best occupant protection. Unfortunately, as a group, minicars aren't performing as well as other vehicle categories." The Mazda2, Kia Rio, Toyota Yaris and certain Ford Fiesta models all received "marginal" overall grades on the test, while the Mitsubishi Mirage, Nissan Versa, Toyota Prius C, Hyundai Accent, Fiat 500 and Honda Fit all earned "poor" ratings. Results from these sub-compact cars fare much worse than vehicles sized just a little bit bigger, IIHS said. Among 17 cars evaluated in the small category, five earned "good" ratings and five more earned "acceptable." Only introduced a year ago, the small-front overlap test has quickly become a key indicator of differences in automotive safety. IIHS introduced it as a way to replicate what happens when the front corner of a vehicle collides with a tree or utility pole at 40 miles per hour. In the real world, these sorts of accidents are more dangerous than others, in part because they bypass the front-end crush zones on most cars.

Without a grade of acceptable or better, they cannot qualify for the IIHS' overall Top Safety Pick+ honor, given annually to the safest models on the market.
