Yes, congrats to you and the family.

I always wanted to swap a small block for that 250 ci 6 banger that was in the 69 C10 that we had. My buddies dad had a late 60s Ford F150 with the 352 V8 in it. He bragged about how strong that Ford was, like my dad's truck is faster than your dad's 6 cylinder Chevy.

So sorry to hear about your daughters house, such a bummer, especially before Christmas. Glad that they got out alive, could have turned out alot different. I wish you success on your medical visits, hang in there, they will get you straightened out. All we can do is pray and hope for the...

You know better than that, after you do a full restore on it, here's what it will look like, just different year models. https://www.rkmotors.com/vehicles/5193/1971-chevrolet-k5-blazer

Yelp, if you're going to test stuff, do so with an equal test, as they say apples to apples, not apples to oranges. He should have started fresh when he tested the Prolube the same exact way for sure.

Back in 80s my Dads brother had one of those Olds diesel cars it was blue in color. He was a truck driver for years, then he started his own truck sales business. He also liked diesels so he had to have him a diesel car. I can remember hearing that car run, I thought it was so cool to hear it...

Other options I found doing a search...

This anything you would be interested in? https://oamusa.com/collections/1999-2006-silverado-sierra-crew-cab

Congrats on the new addition, let us know how it performs. I've really been interested in the 3.0 Liter Duramax, but the extra cost of diesel versus gas has turned me away. At one time I had it calculated as to what kind of fuel mileage the diesel would have to get to even come close to...

I learned to drive in a 1969 Chevy C10, three speed on the tree, 250 CU IN, 6 banger. Dad let me drive on the dirt road on the farm, from the start of the road, to where the state road started. It was probably a half a mile and had a pretty good hill on it. When I first started learning, I...

18.45 MPG ?

You really want that .444 Marlin, just do it and then there is no more fretting over it. In the past I debated about certain ones, thought I really didn't need. Now, these days the item is no longer available, and I think well heck, I should have bought one. Yelp, I have several options...

I'd really like to see GM come back with a big block gas engine, over 7 Liters, that has some serious grunt about it. Ford has the 7.3 Liter Godzilla gas engine that seems to have some respectable numbers. Not sure how it's holding up or performing., I know there's tons of videos on line...

GM coming out with a new, gen. 6, small block V8 in 2027. Guess that will be interesting. I'm sure it will still have that active fuel management on it of course. Could they not learn from the issues with 6.2 Liter V8?

They are putting the Inline 6, 3.0 Liter Duramax in the new Suburbans for a pretty penny these days. I know, they are not as classy as the older ones...:happy:
