Re: My K5 Blazer Story.

Didn't get to spray the raptor liner today, but I did have one of my Tech's sort out my TV cable issue. It was wayyy to tight. Fired it up and took it for a spin and it finally hits all 4 gears!

It actually moves out really well. Still has a stumble off idle but then it starts hauling the mail. That little 5.3 will roast the tires if you want it to. Yee haw! I was able to throw a dealer plate on it and run it down the street to put some fuel in it. But its first time I've driven on the street in my k5 in a year one month and thirteen days since the 75 shelled the 12 bolt. Words can't express my happiness.
I will say this the truck is tight. As in no weird rattles, squeeks or other odd noises. It just feels solid even going over bumps. So different from a swiss cheese 75 with worn out body bushings and flexy body. Plus the top isn't rattling at the windshield header since its not a full top.
Next phase interior and tuning.
