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 |

GM, Pilot will build EVgo fast chargers at 500 truck stops across U.S.
Thu, Jul 14 2022All of our maps showing electric vehicle charging stations across the U.S. are going to need an update. Today, General Motors, Pilot and EVgo announced plans to work together on a nationwide DC fast charging network. The plan calls for 2,000 charging stalls that can deliver up to 350 kW to be installed at up to 500 Pilot and Flying J travel centers in the U.S. The goal is to have DC fast chargers available in 50-mile intervals across the country. The new charging stations will feature GM's "Ultium Charge 360" branding and "Pilot Flying J" logos but will not be limited to drivers of GM EVs. The plugs will use CCS connectors and be available to anyone. GM EV owners can take advantage of benefits, including the ability to make exclusive reservations, get discounts on charging costs and streamline the charging process with Plug and Charge and in-vehicle apps that can provide real-time charger availability. The first installation phase will take place in 2023, and "the bulk of the installations" should be completed by 2025, EVgo CEO Kathy Zoi said during a conference call with reporters announcing the plan. "We're gonna get going immediately and commence all of that engineering and planning stuff," she said. "We've got a pretty orderly plan." Pilot CEO Shameek Konar said the company expects the new EV charging stations to coexist with the current fuel infrastructure. "An average Pilot Flying J location is about 10 acres," Konar said. "This will be in addition to all of our gas pumps. The way I think about it is, this is a new source of energy that is going to coexist with gas for quite some time. We can debate how long, but we need to serve both groups of customers." Installing DC fast chargers at hundreds of Pilot's travel centers — aka truck stops — means there should be food, drinks, restrooms, WiFi and even showers available while you wait for an EV to charge. Pilot recently announced its “New Horizons” plan that will invest $1 billion in upgrading Pilot travel centers with more premium amenities, including expanded seating and lounge areas. While the exact amount of time it will take to charge an EV using these new stations will vary on the EV and its current state of charge, most EVs can refill from a low state of charge to around 80 percent in 20-30 minutes on a fast charger. The new stations are future-proofed to deliver up to 350 kW, a charge rate that few EVs today can handle.
GM is the latest automaker accused of diesel emissions cheating
Thu, May 25 2017Volkswagen and Ram need to make room on the diesel-emissions bench for General Motors. America's largest automaker was accused in a lawsuit on Thursday of rigging hundreds of thousands of diesel trucks with at least three so-called defeat devices to ensure that the trucks would meet federal and state emission standards, even if they generated more pollution in real-world driving. According to the complaint, on-road emissions testing conducted for the plaintiffs found that Duramax-equipped trucks produced NOx pollutants, comprised of nitrogen and oxygen atoms, two to five times higher than legally permitted, and "many times" higher than their gasoline counterparts. The proposed class-action lawsuit was filed in federal court in Detroit on behalf of people who own or lease more than 705,000 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks fitted with "Duramax" engines from 2011 to 2016 model years. The lawsuit seeks remedies including possible refunds or restitution for lost vehicle value, plus punitive damages. It adds to legal problems for Detroit-based GM, which has already paid about $2.5 billion in penalties and settlements over faulty ignition switches linked to 124 deaths. GM joins at least five automakers whose diesel emissions have been scrutinized by regulators or consumers. They include VW, which has admitted to cheating; Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler; Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Peugeot and Renault. GM spokesman Dan Flores called the claims "baseless," and said the trucks comply with US Environmental Protection Agency emissions standards and California's own tough standards. Shares of GM were down 69 cents, or 2.1 percent, at $32.50 in afternoon trading, after earlier falling to $31.93. The GM lawsuit was filed by several law firms, including Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro, which helped reach multibillion-dollar settlements with VW on behalf of drivers and dealers. The case is Fenner et al v General Motors LLC et al, US District Court, Eastern District of Michigan, No. 17-11661. The named plaintiffs are Andrei Fenner of Mountain View, California and Joshua Herman of Sulphur, Louisiana. They said they would not have bought their respective 2011 Sierra and 2016 Silverado trucks, or would have paid less for them, had they known about the alleged rigging. Joseph Spak, an RBC Capital Markets analyst, in a research report said "negative publicity" from the lawsuit could drive buyers to trucks from Ford or even Fiat Chrysler's Ram.
Chevy Sail 3 lands in China
Sun, Nov 23 2014Shanghai General Motors took 32 cars to this year's Guangzhou Motor Show, with its Chevrolet Sail 3 leading the way. After putting almost 1.4 million of them into Chinese hands, the third generation of the Bowtie's entry-level sedan wants to "take the nameplate and the segment to a new level." Its new architecture sporting a 1.4-inch longer wheelbase supports a growth spurt of two inches in length and 1.8 inches in width. The exterior also gets "eagle eye-shaped" headlights and "dual-c-element taillights." Under the hood will be either a 1.5-liter DVVT or a 1.3-liter VVT, each of them more powerful and more frugal than previous offerings. Both can be paired with a manual or an automatic transmission, and qualify for listing in China's National Energy-Saving and Eco-Friendly Vehicle Catalogue, as well as a 3,000 renminbi rebate ($490 US). You can read more about it in the press release below, and get more info on the Chevrolet Camaro RS Limited Edition, Corvette Stingray Coupe, Buick Regal GS and Excelle XT also introduced at the show.
