My 1988 K5 Blazer has been at time like I was going no-where. Any of you know the feelings if you ever restored a car or a truck. (Worse for a truck simple since no one cares about missing 3rd gear when driving a truck) Trucks and Corvettes are a lot alike, It's hard as hell to find one that...

Hi, Nah, you know GM had to change things. The front bumper is a 1986 to 91 bumper. Thank you !

Thank you !

I'm looking for a useable set of the 14" vertical bumper, they were in chrome and had rubber facing. I have the new facings but am in search of the bumper guards themselves. I enclosed a picture of a white K5 with the guards on the front so you can see what I'm talking about. Thank you and happy...

I hear ya, I'm getting ready to turn 65, and thank you, I think I could have a vacuum leak. I'll get the propane torch out and see if I can find it. I was under the unstanding that all fuel injected engine did away with waiting for the choke to open ? Thank you !

Yes, it only misfires for the first 2 minutes in idle, I don't idle it for more than a minute or so. It's TBI injected so it's not doing any good to idle it any longer than 45 seconds or so. And once I put it in gear the miss goes away, but it will come back until it's fully warmed up ?

Hay thanks for getting back, No, it just misfires in cold and once in gear there is no sign of any misfiring. I put a MSD coil on it, should I go with their cap and rotor ? OEM parts come from, hell I don't even know anymore. Thank you !

I have a 350 gas V8 and in the mornings when I start the engine, I have a slight miss until I put it in gear, then the miss-fire goes away, and the engine runs fine ? I restored the truck over the last few years and I put in a matched set of TBI injectors and an new Edelbrock 3407 TBI intake...

I never heard that Fram was making Mobil-1 filters, but I'm not sure about much these days of cutting cost. Personally I use AC Delco PF1218CL and Mobil 10/30 in the 88 K5 Blazer and Mobile 5W/30 in my 90 Silverado fleet side pickup. I'm not too sure, but I've never had any trouble using Mobil...

Yeah, I think the suburbans had the barn doors, and that is a trade off, as I've learned. With the tailgate all the adjustment is at the top or where the glass comes out and the amount of reveal and the function of the glass motor will give you. Too tight and the glass will come out but on an...

I forgot to mention it has a 1/8 blue pin strip running the whole of the red and I just installed a 'DrawTite' class 3/4 hitch on the back with the electrical connection. It has the spare tire inside so it seats 4.

Thank you !

I started 2 years ago on a 1988 K5 West Texas Blazer. It was totally rust free, but had so many hail ball hits we got a new hood rather than try to pull the old dents out. Well my efforts I think paid off. I have wanted a K5 as I'm a 80's sort of guy. The music the sense of life and of course...
