I know the one on the bottom is the new K5 Blazer they're planning on releasing.  Personally, I would love to have the top one, like a full size Blazer.  Only having the S-10 Blazer and 2 door Tahoes, leaves a hole in the marketplace for those who liked the old full size Blazers.  I think they dropped that line in 95.  Mid size doesn't do too much for this full size guy-

I saw the top one before the 99's came out. That was a concept they were playing with back then.

I wonder what they do with all the concepts after they're done with them?

They both look pretty cool...  Too bad that most concepts dont get produced.. I think GM could narrow there huge line up of cars/trucks and then they could put some into production..

I saw recently a TV show that was gi en access to GM's concept facility.  Every concept made by GM is housed under high security (if I remember right) in a huge facility where the concept cars are wrapped and stored on huge shelves.  Car guys toy store on steroids!!!!!!!!!

GM would do well to produce the full size Blazer again. The market has a huge gap in this area. I too would like to see the Duramax option.

Actually, guys, the K5 concept (the bottom one) is supposed to be the next gen fullsize Blazer.  They just haven't shown it too often with the hardtop in place -- they wanted to focus on it being removable since that's what a lot of people did with the old K5's.

As far as the white one is concerned, I may be wrong, but I believe it is in production already -- on the foreign market, particularly Mexico and South America, much like the crew cab S-10 has been for years.

If you look at the top pic of the modern K5, Ford also has a concept for a new bronco, whic is essentially an excursion with two doors.  Aside from the different styling, the two are almost the same.

i hope they build a k5, the white one is really cool.  if gm made a new k5 that would spawn a new bronco (ive seen some awsome drawings of a super duty based bronco concept)

From the information I have gathered on the K5 it looks like it will have the 6.0. I am getting the feeling that GM will produce this truck, most likely in 03 or 04.

I like the Mexico Blazer (or what ever it's called)

 

 

 

It does look pretty cool.  I think it isn't able to pass DOT requirements, so that is why we don't see them here.  I don't know anymore how well a two door vehicle will sell in the country.  Even with pickups we are seeing a shift away from two doors, it'll be a tough go for it.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I find it amusing the OP doesn’t realize this threads heading includes several engines. He should have posted in the off topic section if he wanted a more narrow focus. I really appreciate and find amusing that he actually pointed out one of my many vehicles. The Odyssey. That happens to use 0-20 oil. I love pushing his buttons.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.
