1991 Chevrolet Blazer Silverado Sport Utility 2-door 5.7l on 2040-cars
Stanley, New York, United States
I am selling my 1991 K5 Blazer. I built this with the intention of keeping it but a mean wife forces the sale. No expense was spared during this build. It has just been sitting around for a year or so. I bet I don't have 1K on it since I finished it last spring. It is the original color. The owners manual shows a dealership in Texas. All the sheet metal is original with the exception of the floor pans and rockers. I had a body shop do this work for me. It was painted from the body line down on the front fenders and doors. The hood, roof and tailgate were not painted. There was no rust in the tub. I stripped it down to bare metal, primed it and coated it with Rock It liner. It looks very good. I also used a generic dyna mat on the floors. The carpet is new front to back. The seats are from a 2006 Silverado 2500. The drivers seat has a cigarette burn on the bottom. All the weather seals are new. The drivers side window works great but the wing makes wind noise. The passenger side works slow. I don't know why, I replaced both window motors and regulators. Every interior part was removed cleaned and painted with LMC's interior dye and clear coated. The dash pad is new from Summit Racing. It fits poorly but its not cracked. I called Summit about it being a POS and they said that they no longer carry that line and refunded my money. Thanks Summit! I had a dip switch installed in the DRAC so that I could program the speedometer. Its correct. The odometer has not worked since I have owned it. It has a flip out touch screen radio and junk speakers in the dash. The interior is very nice but needs the rear side panels. The rear window was working but now it's not. I hear the motor trying to work so I suspect the regulator is rusty. They axles are 4:10 ratio out of an 86 3/4 ton. The truck has an all spring 2-1/5" lift. I also corrected the steering arm. It drives great. The rear axle has a gov-loc differential and all new bearings. I kept the 3/4 ton brakes, which are all new and make this truck stop like its angry. Both drive shafts are custom made by Denny's Driveshafts. The transfer case is original but rebuilt. The transmission is a Monster 700R4 It was there most expensive one I forget what they call it. Here is the fun part!!! The engine is a .030 over 4 bolt 454. It is 9.6 to 1. Zero deck. The crank and rods are stock. The pistons are J&E flat tops. The bearings are Clevite's hardened race set. Total seal rings. The rotating assembly was balanced. The heads are oval port with new SS valves. Full aluminum roller rockers and a Comp Cams roller cam. It has an aluminium dual plane intake. It has Holley's EFI system that also controls timing. All new MSD external coil distributor, box and coil. It has an upgraded fuel pump in the tank Wabro? maybe? Coated Hooker headers with cats and flowmasters (sounds awesome). I have installed a knoc sensor but I never tried to program the computer to work with it. I think I have it set too sensitive and it immediately takes 3 degrees out of it. It starts and idles great hot or cold. On a very cold day its best to let it idle for a few before touching the gas pedal. Again I could have probably tuned the cold idle better but I didn't spend the time on it. In the interior photos you can see the USB cable. Just plug it into your laptop and tune. It was really user friendly. I added an aluminium radiator. It has an electric fan out of a Crown Vic Police Interceptor and is computer controlled. The A/C needs to be charged. The compressor and lines are new. I may have replaced the evaporator but I don't remember. The rims are cheap 16" with Goodyear Dura Tracks. I tried to spray clear coat on the rims because they shipped bare. I don't know how to paint so some of it flaked off. The tires are like new with no wear or dryrot. They ride real nice and quiet. I put a new heater core in it and disassembled and cleaned the heater box. All flexible brake hoses were replaced with braided stainless. This is a real nice truck! I think I could get it to wheelie if I really tried!!!
The areas that I would address are: Rear window regulator A/C charge Slow passenger window a small rust spot on the bottom of the passenger door Spend some time with the engine computer to dial in knock sensors and cold idle. Rear interior panels Wind noise from drivers wing window I have tried to describe this as accurately as possible. I have replaced almost every part on this truck. I have most of the receipts. This truck also has no battery draws and started right up EVERY TIME this winter even when it was near 0. The rear bumper is new from Goodmark. The front is a nice used one. The previous owner painted the old ones grey. Look over the pictures and ask questions. I would like to get her sold but I will not give it away. MILEAGE IS WRONG THIS IS A BIG BLOCK NOT A 5.7 |

2014 Chevrolet Malibu gets more torque, more room and inspiration from the Impala
Fri, 31 May 2013The 2014 Chevrolet Malibu, having stared at the Impala across the showroom floor for a year, gets nips and tucks all over inspired by its larger brother. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder in the base car will get a stop-start system and 23 city miles per gallon, 35 highway, each number representing a one-mpg improvement over the 2013 car. Output is 196 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque.
Opt for the 2.0-liter turbo and, while power holds steady at 259 hp, torque goes up by 14 percent to a striking 295 lb-ft (a figure Chevy calls best in the class). The final details include newly programmed transmission shift points and faster shifts, for better engaging and enjoying the added power.
Looks-wise, the grille's been reshaped to be more in line with the new Chevrolet look, a narrower upper grille hovering over a larger lower grille.
CNG-powered Chevy Sonic, Cruze headed your way
Fri, Nov 7 2014The value proposition for a Crazy Diamond Performance CNG ride was a little bit better before gas prices took a dive in the past month. Still, the Michigan-based company, which converts some of Chevrolet's compact vehicles to run on compressed natural gas, received approval late last month from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for two of its conversion models. And CNG is still pretty cheap. Crazy Diamond will start selling CNG versions of both the Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Sonic. The startup will target fleet operators looking to cut both refueling costs and their carbon footprint. CNG can be found in much of the country in the low $2 range, while the average CO2 emissions are about 25 percent less than those of similar gas-powered vehicles. Average gas prices have tumbled by more than 30 cents a gallon in the last month, according to AAA, but they're still at close to $3. The two models will be able to go almost 300 miles on a full tank of CNG. Crazy Diamond said this summer that it would start selling converted a CNG-powered Cruze that delivers 130 horsepower for as low as $26,000. The turbocharged version goes for about $28,000. Take a look at Crazy Diamond Performance's celebratory press release below. Crazy Diamond Performance recieves EPA approval on its CNG Cruze and Sonic CDP receives EPA approval for its Mono-Fuel CNG Cruze and Sonic. Shelby Township, Michigan, October 30, 2014– Crazy Diamond Performance (CDP) receives EPA approval on its Mono-Fuel Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Sonic. Crazy Diamond Performance has received EPA approval on two new mono-fuel small passenger vehicles, the CNG Chevrolet Cruze and CNG Chevrolet Sonic. These new mono-fuel CNG platforms are the first of a series of small and fuel efficient vehicles coming from CDP, where cost, low emissions and reduced fuel consumption is important for not only fleet owners, but to the general public as well. "Soon to be available, are the 1.8L and 1.4L Cruze and Sonic CNG retrofit systems. These two vehicles represent a change in the status quo, with an OEM level integration of the fuel system and its components" states Michelle Fern, Executive Vice President CDP Inc. These vehicles provide flexibility for fleets looking to purchase a domestic small mono-fuel passenger sedan, but have not had an option until now. There are significant emissions benefits over its gasoline counterpart, with an average reduction in Carbon Dioxide (CO2) of 25%.
Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat vs. Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 in latest Head 2 Head
Fri, Jan 30 2015"Olympian" is one of the terms we use to signify the greatest height, the seat of the gods. Yet Mt. Olympus is the second-highest peak in the Balkans ranges, overshadowed by the crest at Musala in Bulgaria's Rila mountains. Both great heights, but one is a little higher. That's how we get the Olympian Chevy Camaro ZL1 pitched at the Musalic Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat in Motor Trend's latest episode of Head 2 Head. The side-by-side spec sheet is filled with farcical numbers. For the ZL1, that's a 6.2-liter V8 with 580 horsepower, 556 pound-feet of torque, a 4,051-pound curb weight, 0-to-60 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds, a quarter-mile time of 12.2 seconds and a base price of just $57,800. Opposing that, the Hellcat wrings out its 6.2-liter V8 for 707 hp, 650 lb-ft of torque, weighs 4,449 pounds, does the quarter in 11.7 seconds and has a base price of just $60,990. Except in the case of the Hellcat, when Motor Trend put it on the dyno the machine spit out a reading of 672 hp and 606 lb-ft at the wheels. If there's a 10-percent driveline loss through those beefed-up internals and heavy-duty eight-speed transmission, that means the Hellcat is actually rated at about 750 horsepower and 700 lb-ft. But once they get put on a closed-off strip of coast road in Northern California, there are only a few strands of hair between their respective performances. That's not the case for they sensations provide; host Jonny Lieberman calls one of them, "One of the most incredible cars ever made," and says, "It changes everything." Watch the video above to see who got the verdict and how. Related Video:
