This is a package deal 1983 turbo diesel k5 blazer 4x4 - 1985 diesel 3/4 ton suburban 4x4 - 6.5 military diesel engine The 1983 blazer I have owned for the last 4 years and have done a lot of work to it. Installed a banks side winder turbo and a 2 1/2 “straight exhaust pipe without a muffler. Sounds pretty mean! Replace the head gaskets and head bolts with the better 6.5 gasket. Replace all the gaskets on the engine. Completely disassembled the exterior and repainted the truck. I used epoxy primer sealer as my base coat and two coats of Polyester Primer. I than sprayed two coats of urethane paint over the primer. The color of the blazer is a flat Gunsmoke Metallic with flat Twilight Black Metallic trim. All the Twilight Black Metallic has a chip guard underneath it. The 700r4 transmission went out about a year ago and has been sitting in my garage ever sense. I have removed the drive shafts but just have not found the time to remove the transmission. The u-joint in the rear is completely gone and will need to be replace. I have removed the two almost new batteries, alternator and installed them in the Suburban. The power steering pump squeals from time to time so it will need to be replaced. The steering is a little lose but not treble. On the rear driver side wheel well I slid into a tree and it removed the rock guard but did not do any damage to the body. On the passenger side behind the door someone more than likely one of my kids ran into it with something and took a chunk of paint out. It is only about 3/8” round. I had seats from a 2003 Tahoe in it bur took the front seat out for a different project. The rear seat is still there. The diesel Blazers are getting hard and harder to find. This truck motor runs great and was a blast to drive and with a little work it will be an amazing Blazer.
The 1985 3/4 ton diesel Suburban is in great shape for being 29 years old and only has 144,000 original miles on it. The mile indictor is a 6 digit read out which I have never seen on this vintage of vehicle. I bought this truck for the parts but could not being myself to cannibalize it. It is just too nice. Last summer I drove it around a lot took it to Utah and back to Colorado. It was about a 1500 mile trip and it did great. The ac even worked last year, I haven’t driven it at all sense last summer. I do start and run it though its gears about once a month. Starts right up without any problems. I pretty sure the injectors need to be replace. It blows a lot of black smoke. The power steering pump is bad. It has some minor fluid leaks. The paint is flanking off just like all gm of this time period. About 99.7% rust free. The transmission shift good and it runs down the street straight.
The military 6.5 diesel I bought as a rebuildable engine about 4 month ago. I was planning on building a kick ass 6.5 engine. But life though me a curve ball and now I have to move to Utah. I believe it is a Navistar 6.5 diesel the holy grail of 6.5. This came in a shipping container that the lid weights about 350 pounds. I have not found the time to remove the lid to confirm the true identity of the engine. I am about 95% sure it is a Navistar because the picture I saw of the motor showed the side of the valley having the 506 with dots on both sides but the engine was somewhat dirty and I could not see the base of the valley where the Navistar logo would be. From another picture I could see the back of the motor under where the flywheel would be the casting date code looked to be -15H. Any time the letter comes after the number it is a Navistar cast. Gm had the letter before the numbers.

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
2015 Chevrolet Cruze spied on its home turf
Tue, 23 Apr 2013The next Chevrolet Cruze isn't set to go into production for about another year, and we're just now seeing prototypes of the new compact running around here in the States. Not much more has been revealed since we saw the car blasting through the snow in Europe, but we can still clearly see new design elements like the larger grille, slimmer headlamps and redesigned taillamps.
Our spy photographers worked up a composite image of this Cruze prototype alongside the current model, and here, we can clearly see some big visual changes are in store for the new model. The 2015 Cruze's hood slopes downward more dramatically, the windshield is more heavily raked, and the roofline looks more fluid overall. The next-generation Cruze will ride on the new global Delta platform that will also underpin other General Motors vehicles like the Chevrolet Volt and Equinox.
As for what's under the hood, we expect the normal range of gasoline four-cylinder engines (both naturally aspirated and turbocharged), and the compact's new turbodiesel four should carry over, as well. Have a look at the full brace of spy photos in the gallery above.
Detroit 3 to implement delayed unified towing standards for 2015
Tue, Feb 11 2014Car buyers have a responsibility to be well-informed consumers. That's not always a very simple task, but some guidelines are self-evident. If you live in a very snowy climate, you generally know a Ford Mustang or Chevrolet Camaro might not be as viable a vehicle choice as an all-wheel drive Explorer or Traverse, for example. If you want a fuel-efficient car, it's generally a good idea to know the difference between a diesel and a hybrid. But what if it's kind of tough to be an informed consumer? What if the information you need is more difficult to come by, or worse, based on different standards for each vehicle? Well, in that case, you might be a truck shopper. For years, customers of light-duty pickups have had to suffer through different ratings of towing capacities for each brand. For 2015 model year trucks, though, that will no longer be a problem. According to Automotive News, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler Group have announced that starting with next year's models, a common standard will be used to measure towing capacity. The Detroit Three will join Toyota, which adopted the Society of Automotive Engineers' so-called SAE J2807 standards way back in 2011. The standard was originally supposed to be in place for MY2013, but concerns that it would lower the overall stated capacity for trucks led Detroit automakers to pass. Ford originally passed, claiming it'd wait until its new F-150 was launched to adopt the new standards, leading GM and Ram to follow suit. Nissan, meanwhile, has said it will adopt the new standards as its vehicles are updated, meaning the company's next-generation Titan should adhere to the same tow ratings as its competitors. While the adoption of SAE J2807 will be helpful for light-duty customers, those interested in bigger trucks will still be left with differing standards. There is no sign of the new tow standards being adopted for the heavy-duty market.
