 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.

2016 Chevy Volt will not need premium gas

Wed, Oct 29 2014

Buried in the new technical details of the 2016 Chevy Volt released yesterday was a throwaway line about a small but important change that's due to the new 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine. The first-gen Volt has always required premium gas but the new powerplant will be happy burning plain old regular. The Volt's chief engineer, Andrew Farah, told AutoblogGreen that the change was due to today's Volt owners explaining they were not happy paying for top-shelf petroleum. "The ability to use regular unleaded was based directly on customer feedback," he said. "Since the range extender is an all-new engine, it was optimized to use regular unleaded at the outset. Using regular fuel will not have effect on vehicle acceleration or other performance factors." As Larry Nitz, GM's executive director of vehicle electrification, told AutoblogGreen yesterday, the new engine is more powerful and quieter than the outgoing 1.4-liter engine that's used in the current Volt. Fuel economy and EV range specs for the next-gen Volt are not expected until the full car is revealed at the Detroit Auto Show in January.

Texas sues GM, saying it tricked customers into sharing driving data sold to insurers

Wed, Aug 14 2024

Texas filed a lawsuit Tuesday against GM over years of alleged abuse of customers' data and trust. New car owners were presented with a "confusing and highly misleading" process that was implied to be for their safety, but "was no more than a deceptively designed sales flow" that surrendered their data for GM to sell. The suit contends that at no point was selling driving data ever even suggested as a possibility, putting GM in violation of the state's consumer protection laws. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is seeking a jury trial and at least $10,000 per offense (every GM car sold in the state since 2015) and a hefty add-on of $250,000 in cases where the victim was over 65. Texas seems to be flying high after a recent $1.4 billion settlement from Meta over other privacy concerns. This may well be a way to solve any pending budgetary issues in the Lone Star State.

GM sees 'strong year' in 2018, then gold in Chevy Silverado for 2019

Tue, Jan 16 2018

DETROIT — General Motors said on Tuesday it expects earnings in 2018 to be largely flat compared with 2017, but that profits should pick up pace in 2019 as its revamped line of high-margin pickup trucks hits the U.S. market. The 2018 earnings outlook was above market expectations, sending GM shares up more than 3 percent in premarket trading. "GM had a very good 2017 as we continued to transform our company to be more focused, resilient and profitable," GM Chief Executive Mary Barra said in a statement. "We are positioned for another strong year in 2018 and an even better one in 2019." GM and its Detroit rivals, Ford and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, are bringing on new trucks at a time when overall U.S. new vehicle sales have been falling, but truck sales continue to grow as consumers abandon passenger cars in favor of pickups, SUVs and crossovers. GM on Saturday fired a new round in the battle for profits from one of the U.S. auto industry's most lucrative segments when it showed a new generation of its Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck at the Detroit auto show. The new Silverado, a highlight of the event, is the successor to GM's best-selling vehicle in North America. Sales of the current Silverado rose nearly 2 percent to 585,000 vehicles in 2017. In the coming months, the company will also reveal a revamped GMC Sierra pickup truck. U.S. new vehicle sales fell 2 percent in 2017 after hitting a record high in 2016, and are expected to drop further in 2018 as interest rates rise and more late-model used cars return to dealer lots to compete with new ones. GM said on Tuesday that while it retools a factory in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, to make the new pickup trucks, it will shift some production to an Oshawa, Ontario, plant in order to avoid missing sales in a hot market for the vehicles. The No. 1 U.S. automaker said it will record a $7 billion non-cash charge for its fourth-quarter 2017 earnings related to deferred tax assets. GM said it expects capital expenditure in 2018 of around $8.5 billion, about $1 billion of which will go toward funding self-driving car technology. Last week, the company said it is seeking U.S. government approval for a fully autonomous car — one without a steering wheel, brake pedal or accelerator pedal — to enter the automaker's first commercial ride-sharing fleet in 2019. GM said it expects 2017 earnings per share at the high end of its previously forecast range of $6 to $6.50.
