Eh, theres mud at the bottom of the water, its not like its paved or something, but yeah, i guess its not a lot of mud. I could change it i suppose. Might be kinda confusing though if it says water bog
Thanks! yeah, he was an ok dude. I think it helped alot that we were respectful and all. actually drove up to talk to him, instead of just taking off or something. Always pays not to be a douche bag :)
@tommartyn i love it, its makes me feel like im back in the country with my dad and we're running in his bronco or his friends silverado 94 i think it is? im not sure, its been a long time
hahah, awesome man. glad i could bring back some good memories. This field and mud hole, is actually where when i was a kid, i used to go with my dad in most of his different vehicles, but especially the 79 Trailduster, and we would rip around like crazy out there, get stuck, get pulled out, pull out other people. just have a good time
Nice video editing man and sees to be a good running blazer as well Just did a 50 dollar paint job on my 85 k5 350 one I've took it through some pretty rough stuff around here in tennessee and she always comes out without a hitch unlike my glorified 4 wheeler/cj5 lol but love em both but ain't nothing like a k5 sorry to disappoint you jeep boys out there,the jeep does come in handy around tight stuff though and narrow trails
@tommartyn oh really,why is that? Thought those blocks would be bullet proof being so big! Ha ha cant get these sorts of trucks in New Zealand mate other wise i wouldnt own a nissan!! ; D
They might be bullet proof, but they don't have very good lubrication for some of the crank bearings. If you put a turbo on them, they tend to fail... :( they're known for going through alot of head gaskets too. And they don't have all that much power (without a turbo) but we do like them :) Sound very cool, and who doesn't like a diesel? :)
Nah, nissan's are far better made trucks. And they can seriously out off road an american truck with ease :) Lightweight and all
There's to 600,000km on my dad's dually 87 6.2L and the engine has never been rebuilt. Plus the 6.2L exhaust note goes really well with the K5's aggressive looks!
Yeah man, for sure :) Anytime i hear a gas powered K5, its really dissapointing. And i don't care if the 350's have more power and all, Still, i love that 6.2L... Freaking awesome engine. :) 600K Kilo's? What, does it think its a cummins or something ;)
@tommartyn nah we just took good care of the truck, it was never driven in the winter, Never took on loads it couldn't handle, we just hauled a 30 footer goose neck camper, 25 foot goose neck trailer, boat and that's about it. Most of the time it was a summer daily driver. (my dad was the only teacher at his school with a dually crew cab truck :P before he retired) It didn't have much pick-up and go, but just the sound of the engine made up for taking 20 seconds to reach 60 mph.
:) nah, a K30 is called a 3500 now a days. The K stands for 4wd, a C would stand for 2wd
K10 1500 4x4 1/2 ton
K20 2500 4x4 3/4 ton
K30 3500 4x4 1 ton
and the K5 is just a blazer or a jimmy. Their built out of the truck's, but they're way smaller, so they give them the 5 rating, But i don't think it means they are 1/4 ton or anything. Maybe it does though.
thanks , a friend just ordered one for me, i will see if its the right one , if not see if your friend may have one for 1984 , has the yellow lights in grill not bumper,thanks again for looking for me,
hey tommy, if you still have that k5 and are going to junk it, i could buy the grill and hood from you, my email- david_obbar@yahoo.com, thanks mine is a 84 scottsdale almost same truck, bye.
Nah, sorry, this beast has been gone for a long while now. But drew's had a bunch of different K5's and K10's, so i'll ask him if he's still got any grills or hoods around.
@tommartyn haha ur right but we have an old harbody 4x4 nissan that we beat around il try to make some vids of it this winter haha so my blazer will probably never see mudd that nissan does work man
@ctesdahl1026 Why? So they can hit their head on the roll bars and be knocked unconscious or possibly be crushed by them if the truck rolls over? Dumbass is one word, dumbass.
hahah, yeah, pretty much. Plus the roof above the front seats bassicallyworks as a roll bar anyway, so theres no reason for him to complain about it anyway... freaking people man.
@SakoTGrimes ......well i cant spell...never said i could....but a roll cage is always a good thing...if you did any hard wheelin you would know that...but with those pussy ass tires im guessing you get stuck alot
why did you not give him the keys and say have fun? The owners actions earn respect. He had every right to call the cops but he did not. He chose to talk one on one. You were respectful as well. Go back and film him in your blazer....now that would be amazing.
:) i think we thought about that. But i don't think he would have taken us up on that offer. He wasn't the actual owner, he was just renting it from my one Aunt. He called her and She said to call the cops right away. but luckily he was a good guy, and came back to talk to us. As soon as we saw someone walking down, we stopped, and drove nicely up to him. Normally people would probably just take off.
It really would have been awesome to have footage of him romping!
Chevys and other GM vehicles are pretty awesome for sure, but there are alot of other American company's that are awesome too. I'm a big Willys fan, they made some awesome stuff. And a really huge old (pre 81) chrysler fan. (chrysler, plymouth, dodge)
you put an 8 inch lift, and 40 inch crazy tires on anything, and ANYTHING will go anywhere with no problem :)
As far as stock trucks go, with no lift, and no special tires, 79-87? Toyota pickups will out romp any other stock truck thats ever been made. They are truely amazing machines.
haha, nice. 67 on a riding mower... Sounds safe :)
My first car or truck was the 76 or 77 ramcharger i had :) 360, 4 speed manual, no front drive shaft. The thing was awesome. I probably topped it out at 37MPH in the field :) Most of the time that thing didn't have brakes. But we've probably had about 200 cars/trucks through here since then.
My first ride was a Bolens 1050. 10HP, maxed out at 6.7MPH when the governor was reving up.
Yeah, that was over at my grandfathers house, but its like that here too come to think about it. Around this area Its all shale under neath the mud. so bassically, if you dig down a little bit, your hitting a pretty solid surface... In most places anyway :) There are some deep mud areas where you can get stuck.
Thoes frames do really well no matter what you are in. I have a 79 frame under my 51 Chevy. 350 small block, not the diesel. And you have to be really deep for that thing to get stuck. Check it out.
haha, nice. yeah, i spent a few minutes trying to figure the comment out, then decided it had to be a mistake. :) that kind of stuff happens to me with tons of tabs in firefox as well, it gets pretty confusing.
Its fun stuff man! maybe someday when the suburban is older it might be ready to rip some stuff up!
Can't wait. I'm 16 right now, but I'm looking for a K5 with a 6.2 as my first car.
So far, all I could find locally were Blazers with 350's. The average price around my area is about 500 - 2000$ Hopefully I'll find one that suits me.
And once I find it the first thing I'm going to do is swap the rear end for one from a 3500 and convert my blazer into a dually blazer. I already have the fiber glass fenders and the 3500 rear end!
ah man, THAT sucks. those starter's have to be crazy expensive. The regular k5 12 volt starters for the 6.2's are alot. but a 24 volt one has to be crazy.
Whats wrong with how it starts? are the glow plugs bad?
@tommartyn yeah the glow plugs them selvies aint bad but the wiring to them are and the people that had it before me sprayed ether to it just making that much worse and me my self i dont know too much about a diesel i have always worked on gas burners so i am really lost trying to work out the problems this whole 24v system has me scratching my head most of the time and yeah the starters are crazy high but i know if i can get it right it will be a hard truck to stop off road
@st0ner4life i think my friend drew's one blazer, and his K10 pickup had bad wiring, or a bad solenoid for the glow plugs. he just kept a jumpercable under the hood, on the positive of the left battery, and when he'd go to start it he'd pop the hood, and pop the other end o the cable off of the glow plug wire rubber, and put it on the side that goes to the plugs for 15 seconds or so. on his the solenoid was on the inner fender, near the hood on the left side.
@tommartyn thanks for the advice man will give it a shot any thing that will help start that monster and and give that starter some releaf will be a life saver for me from what i have seen that truck do she is worth the trouble
i have a 83 diesel k5 also and to be honest i think the do better in the mud than gas blazers ...i have staight pipes turned up pump and ram air 190 horse other that that its stock with 33" baja claws and i run circles around bigger more built trucks

in comparison to some other engines thats true. but this thing did have a good amount of power. It could powerbreak it posi, and could fuck some shit up in the mud. For how little fuel they use, and how crazy they sound, they are some awesome engines for sure. And they're not disgustingly average like 350's.
@brad11344 ya i was surprised as to how much mudthat thing threw up, they are badass sounding, but if you get them with a turbo it would be awesome. i had a k5 with a 400sb it was fun
Nice! we knew a guy who had a 400 in a k10 (i think a 10 could have been a 20) and that thing was mean sounding. i'll send you the video we have of it pulling us out one time. pulling out a different 6.2, and a ramcharger with a 318, no rear driveshaft, and no reverese :)
Yeah, drew had another k5 with a banks turbo i think on it, and it seized up a main bearing... they don't take the turbo thing so well. the 6.5's have better lubrication, and hold up to a turbo better.
sort of,:) drew had an 82 pickup with a 6.2L, and went through a flooded creek crossing, sucked up alot of water, and hydrolocked it.then it sat for a few months like that, till we finally thought to take out eh glowplugs and crank the water out. then it started right up :) and ran fine.
I'm kind of a big fan of diesel's in general, and the fuel mileage and all. Not really a fan of GM gas v8's so much. Plus, the axles and drive shafts couldn't take the 6.2's power, i really wouldn't be looking forward to even more busted parts.
Haha... I understand. I got a 77 K10 with a 350 and its wicked on gas! I get 9 to 12 mpg depending on the mood of the truck...lol. I think mine has the same front end tho. But I will put it in anything...lol.
man that guy is cool as hell about you being there... everywhere I go either a hunter pops out of no were with a shotgun or the damn cops come... Most of the time it is both... LoL
Yeah, he was pretty decent. He was renting that property off of my Great aunt, and he called her when he saw us back there, and she told him to call the cops, but he told her that he'd just go out and talk to us first. Then when i saw him walking down, i told drew to drive up to him, instead of just running. i think that helped. Then we weren't assholes to him, just told him that i'd been coming there my whole life, and it was my family, and he let us know she didn't want us there. Worked out
i used my Macintosh G4, 867MHZ (i think) and Quicktime for all of it except encoding. I used quicktime to record the footage from my sony digital 8MM camcorder, and edited it in quicktime, then saved it as a stand alone full quality file. minus what i cut out. The reason the sound looses sync, is because i recorded over part of the tape, accidentally in my room, and Quicktime doesn't react well to Abrupt unexpected returns to other footage with different timecodes. Imovie works better.
well, it stopped shifting for a few weeks from this mild beating in the mud hole. then drew somehow found out it was some easily replaceable piece that could be unbolted from the outside, and swaped out. he did that. then it might have lose reverse at some point... but the front axle broke. the ujoints near the wheels broke, and some other ujoints broke. got bashed into alot of stuff. then one day, drew took the intake manifold off, and the hood i think. it rained in the engine... sad..
Yeah it sucks too, because this is a place i always used to go with my dad in his Trailduster when i was a kid. True True! cop situation would have sucked.
awesome! just wondering because i saw a suburban one time that someone put a 6.5 in, and it wasn't turbo. which was cool. from what i've heard all 6.5's in vehicles came turbo. I really don't recomend putting a turbo on the 6.2. it will give it alot more power, but they are known to seriously break with turbo's on them. one of the main bearings will seize up, and crack the block.. its bad news. If its got plenty of power as it is, i'd leave it.
i may leave it. it runs great so i'll leave it be for now. i had to change the injection pump on it as the one on there was rusted inside from water in the fuel. Only major thing left is body work to get rid of the rust.
yeah, my great aunt or what ever she is, that owns that land, was telling him to call the cops, when he called her and said we were back there romping. She sucks. we see alot of 6.2 powered blazers down here. drew has had 3 :) and 2 pickups. none of them were stick though...
They really are awesome things man! crazy perfect running machines, that don't care about water. diesel ones anyway.
This vid is from a few years ago. we have ALOT of footage, and most of it is on my computer. sometimes i look through them and realize, HEY, this is awesome i should upload it. theres alot of stuff that is only a few days old when i upload it too. sometimes, rarely, that day i'll get footage up. but some could be 9 years old... :) crazy thinking about it.
all this footage was actually shot by this guy steve oleary. he sold me this camera about a year later. and i'm not as good of a camera dude as him at all. he had some really awesome creative ideas. used all te cameras features. i suck, i just film stuff. haha, but it all made for a cool video :)
thats true man, no 24 volt action here. the front axles on these half ton chevys suck. without a doubt. they are heavy and weak. But the truck was a blast! And this thing could powerbreak posi! as it was limited slip in the rear :)
I've always wanted an original ramcharger (74-81) with a cummins in it. Stick. That would be the best thing ever... for sure. sucks that there wasn't any diesel ramchargers... seems like the perfect idea.
haha, i wouldn't feel too insignificant. it only had a max of about 160 HP. a crazy amount of torque though. the main thing was that it was diesel. :) got around 15 MPG or more maybe, and had no ignition stuff to get wet at all. so it liked water :)
I heard tht the deisels hav like no power compared 2 a 350 is this true???
xXLEVERACTION78Xx 2 months ago
@xXLEVERACTION78Xx
Hey man, These are the 6.2L stock non tubo diesel V.S. a 350 gas comparasons
350's have alot more HP and probably a little more torque,
350's weight a serious amount more
They probably last about as long as each other
6.2L's are more reliable, as the fuel injection system is mechinaical, and simple, and there is no ignition systems.
6.2L's can go through any amount of water, running 100% perfect, as long as none sucks in the intake.
6.2L's run cooler, don't over heat as easy
tommartyn 2 months ago
@tommartyn no the 6.2 is going to have more torque then the 350
weedissafer 2 months ago
@xXLEVERACTION78Xx
6.2L's are really good on fuel, ESPECIALLY compared to 350's. For most people the less power is a fair trade for the higher MPG.
They sound much cooler then 350's (in my opinion at least.)
And diesel's are just cooler in general.
350's are all over the place, they're in everything. Its boring.

@tommartyn
Can't wait. I'm 16 right now, but I'm looking for a K5 with a 6.2 as my first car.
So far, all I could find locally were Blazers with 350's. The average price around my area is about 500 - 2000$ Hopefully I'll find one that suits me.
And once I find it the first thing I'm going to do is swap the rear end for one from a 3500 and convert my blazer into a dually blazer. I already have the fiber glass fenders and the 3500 rear end!

nice i have an 84 army k5 with the 6.2lt just haveing someproblems with it starting burned up two starters
st0ner4life 1 year ago
@st0ner4life
ah man, THAT sucks. those starter's have to be crazy expensive. The regular k5 12 volt starters for the 6.2's are alot. but a 24 volt one has to be crazy.
Whats wrong with how it starts? are the glow plugs bad?
tommartyn 1 year ago
@tommartyn yeah the glow plugs them selvies aint bad but the wiring to them are and the people that had it before me sprayed ether to it just making that much worse and me my self i dont know too much about a diesel i have always worked on gas burners so i am really lost trying to work out the problems this whole 24v system has me scratching my head most of the time and yeah the starters are crazy high but i know if i can get it right it will be a hard truck to stop off road
st0ner4life 1 year ago
@st0ner4life i think my friend drew's one blazer, and his K10 pickup had bad wiring, or a bad solenoid for the glow plugs. he just kept a jumpercable under the hood, on the positive of the left battery, and when he'd go to start it he'd pop the hood, and pop the other end o the cable off of the glow plug wire rubber, and put it on the side that goes to the plugs for 15 seconds or so. on his the solenoid was on the inner fender, near the hood on the left side.
Yeah! Hard to stop for sure :)
tommartyn 1 year ago
@tommartyn thanks for the advice man will give it a shot any thing that will help start that monster and and give that starter some releaf will be a life saver for me from what i have seen that truck do she is worth the trouble

brad11344 1 year ago
@brad11344
in comparison to some other engines thats true. but this thing did have a good amount of power. It could powerbreak it posi, and could fuck some shit up in the mud. For how little fuel they use, and how crazy they sound, they are some awesome engines for sure. And they're not disgustingly average like 350's.
tommartyn 1 year ago
@brad11344 ya i was surprised as to how much mudthat thing threw up, they are badass sounding, but if you get them with a turbo it would be awesome. i had a k5 with a 400sb it was fun
brad11344 1 year ago
@brad11344
Nice! we knew a guy who had a 400 in a k10 (i think a 10 could have been a 20) and that thing was mean sounding. i'll send you the video we have of it pulling us out one time. pulling out a different 6.2, and a ramcharger with a 318, no rear driveshaft, and no reverese :)
Yeah, drew had another k5 with a banks turbo i think on it, and it seized up a main bearing... they don't take the turbo thing so well. the 6.5's have better lubrication, and hold up to a turbo better.

sort of,:) drew had an 82 pickup with a 6.2L, and went through a flooded creek crossing, sucked up alot of water, and hydrolocked it.then it sat for a few months like that, till we finally thought to take out eh glowplugs and crank the water out. then it started right up :) and ran fine.

I'm kind of a big fan of diesel's in general, and the fuel mileage and all. Not really a fan of GM gas v8's so much. Plus, the axles and drive shafts couldn't take the 6.2's power, i really wouldn't be looking forward to even more busted parts.

Haha... I understand. I got a 77 K10 with a 350 and its wicked on gas! I get 9 to 12 mpg depending on the mood of the truck...lol. I think mine has the same front end tho. But I will put it in anything...lol.

Yeah, he was pretty decent. He was renting that property off of my Great aunt, and he called her when he saw us back there, and she told him to call the cops, but he told her that he'd just go out and talk to us first. Then when i saw him walking down, i told drew to drive up to him, instead of just running. i think that helped. Then we weren't assholes to him, just told him that i'd been coming there my whole life, and it was my family, and he let us know she didn't want us there. Worked out

What did you use to create the video and edit it?
Pitster73 2 years ago
i used my Macintosh G4, 867MHZ (i think) and Quicktime for all of it except encoding. I used quicktime to record the footage from my sony digital 8MM camcorder, and edited it in quicktime, then saved it as a stand alone full quality file. minus what i cut out. The reason the sound looses sync, is because i recorded over part of the tape, accidentally in my room, and Quicktime doesn't react well to Abrupt unexpected returns to other footage with different timecodes. Imovie works better.

TheAdioman126 2 years ago
well, it stopped shifting for a few weeks from this mild beating in the mud hole. then drew somehow found out it was some easily replaceable piece that could be unbolted from the outside, and swaped out. he did that. then it might have lose reverse at some point... but the front axle broke. the ujoints near the wheels broke, and some other ujoints broke. got bashed into alot of stuff. then one day, drew took the intake manifold off, and the hood i think. it rained in the engine... sad..

Nice man!! Is it a 6.2, or 6.5?
tommartyn 2 years ago
it s a 6.2 according to the valve cover. I'm gonna try to get it rust free and turbo it in the future. only thing missing is money.
iamdave0887 2 years ago
awesome! just wondering because i saw a suburban one time that someone put a 6.5 in, and it wasn't turbo. which was cool. from what i've heard all 6.5's in vehicles came turbo. I really don't recomend putting a turbo on the 6.2. it will give it alot more power, but they are known to seriously break with turbo's on them. one of the main bearings will seize up, and crack the block.. its bad news. If its got plenty of power as it is, i'd leave it.
yep, Money's always the missing thing :)
tommartyn 2 years ago
i may leave it. it runs great so i'll leave it be for now. i had to change the injection pump on it as the one on there was rusted inside from water in the fuel. Only major thing left is body work to get rid of the rust.
