    1990 K5 Jimmy. 130k, from Texas. It looks like a one owner truck, absolutely ZERO rust! Original paint, but it seems like the top was painted white. Was this done at the dealer when it was new? A few very small door dings, a bent piece of interior trim, a couple cuts in the bumper rub strips...

    My 1984 K5 Plow Teeruk 6.2 Rear Diffy Is Bad...

    I've been plowing for 10 years with a ratty K5 6.2 Blazer, and a few days ago the rear differential all of a sudden made some death noises. So I jacked it up and pulled the driveshaft. I've got about 75 degrees of rotation-play in the pinion yoke. So I left the drive shaft off and plowed my...

    I've been plowing snow for 10 years with a 1984 K5 Blazer 6.2 diesel. I'm tired of breaking the axle shaft where it goes through the spindle-hub.

    Vent Windows-How I Repair Them-K5 Blazer

    When I bought this 1984 Blazer in Salinas California last May, I had no idea of the life that it had led. When I picked it up it had no keys, the ignition switch didn't lock, and the drivers vent window turned out to be a replacement with the hole for the latch manufactured in the wrong place...

    1984 K5 Blazer Idling Rich-California Emissions-Coolant Sensor?

    I drove a 1984 K5 Blazer back from California this past May, and the last few hundred miles the engine started idling very rich. It's got an oxygen sensor on the driver's bank, the electronically controlled carburetor, but what looks like a stock HEI distributor. A friend of mine mentioned that...

    The Heater Relay-I Don't Know How It Works-Or Doesn't

    In my 45 years of repairing GM vehicles, I never understood how the heater fan relay works. So today I have to repair a 1984 K5, and the heater was only working on high-speed. So I took the resistor out of the plenum, polished up the contacts and put it back together, same. Then I changed the...

    1984 K5 Windshield Wiper Switch-Only Works On Lo-Bad Switch?

    I'm getting my 1984 K5 Blazer ready to sell, and the wipers only work on low speed. I understand that the switch is somewhere in the steering column. But in all my years and all my squarebodys, I've never had to change one. I don't think it's the motor, is that possibly the problem? And of...

    Ignition Lock Cylinder And Matched Door Locks Rear Window Cylinder

    I bought a 1984 K5 Blazer in the spring, and it didn't come with any keys. EBay and RockAuto sell a new ignition switch, but does anybody sell the door locks and tailgate switch all together, save on shipping and maybe a few dollars buying the whole set ?

    14B FF Inner Bearing C Clip Plier Recomendation

    I just bought a 1993 regular cab 2 wheel drive 6.5 turbo diesel with a 14-bolt full floater. Because the truck has been sitting for many years the left rear brake was seized to the shoes, so I took it apart and I decided once I had the axles removed I might as well check the bearings. The...

    Rustiest Radiator Thick Slimy RUST... How To Clean???

    Three weeks ago I purchased a 2 owner 1984 K5 Blazer with a crate 350. The second owner did nothing except drive it for years and years, never changed the oil, never even put antifreeze in the cooling system. So I changed the oil, and the engine consumes a bit, but I just put four thousand miles...

    Convert 1983 dash w-wiper-floor dimmer to turn signal stalk?

    I just put a deposit on a 1983 K5 Blazer, and I usually prefer to buy 1984 and newer because the windshield washer and dimmer switch is mounted on the turn signal stalk. Has anybody ever tried to update the 1983 and older floor mounted dimmer and dash mounted windshield wiper to the turn signal...

    I bought this 1984 K 2500 4x4 Suburban in San Francisco 10 years ago, and every time it rains water drips on the front driver floor adjacent to the cowl by the hinge post.

    Newer Style Center Caps & Wheels On 1978 3/4 Ton Pickup-Stud Question....

    My friend has a 1978 Chevy 3/4 ton C20 pickup with newer 2000 or so chrome wheels. He's missing the center caps, but the question is, what stud and nut needs to be used? The truck has a couple of the double threaded nuts, but my review of ebay shows that they're all 14mm metric. So I'm really...
