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.

NHTSA probes 2010 Chevy Tahoe for side airbag issue

Wed, Jun 17 2015

After a person was killed in a rollover accident in a 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe in Texas in 2011, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is considering whether to conduct a deeper investigation into a potential problem with the model's side airbags. According to the petition filed with the government agency, the SUV's rollover side curtain airbag deployed in the accident, but the design allegedly still allowed some of the occupants in the second- and third-row seats to be ejected from the vehicle. One of them died in the crash. Based on NHTSA's preliminary review, this is the only report of this type of incident happening in a 2007-2015 Tahoe or GMC Yukon. "GM investigated the complaint that is the basis of the petition and found no defect trend," company spokesperson Alan Adler said to The Detroit News, and said the automaker will cooperate with the feds. Still, "a defect petition has been opened to evaluate the issue and make a grant or deny decision," according to NHTSA. Depending on the agency's findings, this could lead to a full investigation and possible recall affecting an estimated 58,000 vehicles. INVESTIGATION Subject : Rollover Side Curtain Air Bags Date Investigation Opened: JUN 11, 2015 Date Investigation Closed: Open NHTSA Action Number: DP15004 Component(s): AIR BAGS All Products Associated with this Investigation Vehicle MakeModelModel Year(s) CHEVROLET TAHOE 2010 CHEVROLET TAHOE HYBRID 2010 Details Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received a petition requesting an investigation of alleged defects that can cause occupant ejections during rollover crashes in certain General Motors vehicles. The petition alleges the defects allow second and third row occupants to be ejected despite the deployment of rollover side curtain air bags. The petition cites a 2011 Texas crash involving a model year 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe, which allegedly resulted in multiple occupants to be ejected. One of the ejected occupants was fatally injured. ODI's preliminary review of its consumer complaint data found no similar reports of occupant ejections on 2007-2015 Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon vehicles. ODI also reviewed Early Warning Reporting data submitted by General Motors. A defect petition has been opened to evaluate the issue and make a grant or deny decision.

2016 Chevy Volt sneak peek at CES

Mon, Jan 5 2015

Here it is, folks – your first real glimpse at the 2016 Chevrolet Volt. The gasoline-electric sedan will officially debut at the Detroit Auto Show next week, but Chevy gave us a sneak peek of its redesigned Volt at a media event in Las Vegas late Sunday, as part of its CES festivities. There isn't a ton to see here, and sorry about the low quality video (and for us not standing front and center during the reveal). But we can clearly see the car's redesigned front fascia – something recently previewed at a fan event in Los Angeles. For another view, check out a high-res photo of the new Volt from our friends at The Verge, here. Chevy even tweeted a photo of the Volt's new nose on its official Volt Twitter account, which you can see below. The automaker didn't divulge any details about its new Volt, but we already know quite a bit. For starters, the Volt will use a new, 1.5-liter gasoline engine and won't require premium fuel. It'll have more EV range and a bigger battery, too. We'll have a whole mess of information when the 2016 Volt is fully revealed in Detroit in about one week's time. In the meantime, here are some more looks at the Volt, courtesy of the Twitterverse. We're so excited about #NextGenVolt we brought it out early at #CES2015! Full details on 1/12 at #NAIAS. pic.twitter.com/hPCbTFGSV4 - Chevrolet Volt (@ChevyVolt) January 5, 2015 Take a look at the new Chevy Volt http://t.co/laCvWLRMXk pic.twitter.com/uOzRh5XCrP - Engadget (@engadget) January 5, 2015 The very first look at the 2016 Chevy Volt doesn't disappoint: http://t.co/PM0HcnyQOo pic.twitter.com/WFtoyd0utH - Gizmodo (@Gizmodo) January 5, 2015 Chevy just gave @Tim_Stevens a very quick look at the next-gen Volt at #CES2015. #CNETatCES http://t.co/3n6EK1yOrC pic.twitter.com/7KDYh0VSg0 - CNET (@CNET) January 5, 2015 Related Gallery 2016 Chevy Volt at CES Related Gallery 2016 Chevrolet Volt Teaser Images Green CES Detroit Auto Show Chevrolet GM Alternative Fuels Green Automakers Electric Hybrid Videos Sedan 2015 Detroit Auto Show CES 2015
