This is my 5th GM vehicle, I'll never buy anything else. I have a 70K5 blazer which was my first vehicle, it's all original I only changed the plugs, distributor cap and wires. and it runs with anything on the road.



Thanks



Thanks, I have to wash the interior out. the dealer put way too much armoral in. I cant keep my feet on the floor mats and I keep sliding from side to side in the seat. Its nothing some mild soap cant fix, or maybe I'll rub some dirt on it .


I'm going to make my way to Virginia Speed today and see what they have to say. Shaun is a LS genius he should have some good suggestions.

This is the late model truck I have seen with room in the engine compartment. It seems as though GM has really moved stuff around and made this truck a lot easier to work on.

These pics don't show the room very well. the 2 inch body definately adds some room on top of the block....Whipple??

A supercharger would be really nice. But a simple cold air intake, tune and exhaust will make a decent difference. And save several thousand dollars too.
I know it's apples to oranges, but tossing a blower on can lead to tranny issues. If you are on the throttle hard a lot anyway.

I have a 2000 with the 5.3 l. CAI, tune....it does good. And with 210,000+ miles it still runs very strong. And my tranny has never had any issues. (i do not treat it nice in any sense of the word).
I like what Dodge and Ford offer, but after having all 3 and how well my chevy & GMCs have held up I can't see buying anything but another GM truck in my future.
Although a new 2wd hemi shortbed all hot rodded out sounds fun......
