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.

Amelia Island 2013: Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray from concepts to split windows
Wed, 13 Mar 2013While this year marks 60 years of the Chevrolet Corvette, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance focused on one of the coupe's most sought after models, the 1963 Sting Ray. General Motors design boss Ed Welburn was on hand to show off the all-new C7 Corvette, but even the hard-edged styling of the 2014 Stingray couldn't take away from the beautiful 1963 models sitting out on the field.
In addition to the original Sting Ray and the 1959 Sting Ray Concept, some of the other classic 'Vettes included "Big Tank" racecars, an interesting cutaway coupe, a right-hand-drive Z06 and the attention-grabbing 1963 Corvette Rondine by Pininfarina. Another impressive Corvette was the 1964 Corvette XP-819 rear-engine prototype. Owner Mike Yager had the car finished as a driving chassis for this year's show, but promises the car will be back to its original glory in time for next year's event.
Chevy to show redesigned Captiva in Geneva, will it come to US rental lots?
Wed, 27 Feb 2013Unless you're renting a car or driving through Orlando, Florida (the rental car capital of the US), you'll probably never see a Chevrolet Captiva - the rebadged, fleet-only version of the old Saturn Vue - on our roads, but this crossover is popular in many other parts of the world. As such, Chevrolet announced that the Captiva will be getting an update for 2013, which will be unveiled next week at the Geneva Motor Show.
Coming off a pretty extensive refresh in 2011, the 2013 model year will bring even more changes to the Captiva like LED taillights, new 18-inch wheels and revised fascias with a new grille and fog lights up front and inset chrome exhaust outlets at the rear. New interior features include heated rear seats, dual-zone climate control as well as available options on some of the upper trim levels such as leather seating and keyless entry and start. We have yet to hear back from Chevrolet as to whether or not the updated Captiva will be making its way to a rental lot near you, as the model is only available in the US to fleet buyers.
Alongside the updated Captiva, Chevy is also showing off its new Trax in Europe, where the subcompact crossover will go on sale this spring. GM's press release for these two Geneva-bound models is posted below.
2014 Chevy Silverado priced from *$24,585, V8 gets better economy than Ford EcoBoost V6
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Chevrolet has thrown down the next hand in the pickup truck poker wars and revealed at least a couple of potential aces - depending on which numbers matter most to you. The 2014 2014 Silverado 1500 with its 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 gets 335 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, is mated to a six-speed automatic, can tow 11,500 pounds with the optional Max Trailer Package and costs the same as the outgoing Silverado, $24,585 (*including $995 destination fee). Chevy says the Silverado also stands atop the fuel economy charts when comparing any competitor with a V8 engine - and some competitors with V6 engines. The two-wheel drive model returns 16 miles per gallon city, 23 mpg highway, 19 mpg combined in two-wheel drive guise and 16 mpg city, 22 mpg highway and 18 mpg combined as a four-wheel drive.
For context around those numbers, the most fuel efficient V8-powered 2013 Ford F-150 pickups lose about two mpg in every metric compared to the Silverado, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost returning 16 city, 18 highway and 22 combined in two-wheel drive. However, that EcoBoost does have 365 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. You can get a Ram 1500 with a 3.6-liter V6 that gets 25 mpg highway, but it has 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. The 2013 Ram with the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and its 395 hp and 407 lb-ft drops one mpg in every category to the Silverado. Its tow rating is 200 pounds beyond its nearest competitor, the F-150 with the Max Trailer Tow Package.
Elsewhere, the new Silverado gets a quieter cab with a redesigned interior, a new bed with improved load-management possibilities, disc brakes all around, tweaked steering and suspension, along with free standard scheduled maintenance for two years or 24,000 miles.
