If my memory is correct, 10 GMs, all 4wd, all at LEAST a half ton, and all modified by me to a certain extent

 

1978 K5 Blazer- spent too much money getting all the rust cut out, was a good rig 350/TH400

1985 K1500 - bought it with a 6 inch lift and 35s - what a pile! had a 305 and 3.73s, nothing but trouble and work

1989 Sierra K1500 SLT- Great truck! 5.7/auto had 200K on it when I traded it

1991 K5 Blazer Silverado- Bought it brand new and fully loaded, last of the big blazers, a sweet rig!

1993 Full size Blazer Silverado (Tahoe) Great reliable rig, had over 200K on it when I sold it 5.7/Auto

1996 K1500 Xcab Z71 LT - Another great truck, no problems 5.7/auto

1997 K2500 Xcab Sierra SLT- MY BEST TRUCK EVER 7.4/Auto

2001 Tahoe LT - so far so good!

2004 2500hd Crew cab 4x4 - 8.1/Allison, gas guzzling beast but a great truck, I miss it!

And several GM cars....but they're not trucks. ;)

3 GM's but only 2 of them were trucks.

 

89 Corsica - 4cyl 5spd. Seems to be rare as I have never seen another 5spd, especially one where you had to put on the right turn signal to start the car, other wise the alarm would go off. Sold it with 150k for 5 bucks to a less fortunate kid in high school. I could of sworn I saw it last month....still running

 

04 ext cab Colorado Z71 4x4 - Traded for Sierra

 

07 crew cab Sierra z71 4x4 - Enjoying every second of it!

Heres my list in order of ownership:

 

'83 S10 4X4 Reg.cab short-bed,The 2.8-V6 had NO power and couldn't get out of its own way!

 

'91 S10 4X4 Reg.cab short-bed,My first NEW truck! I special ordered it and waited almost 5 months for it! The 4.3-V6 was great,plenty of power (compared to the 2.8 I just got rid of!) and I loved the digital dash I ordered with it,Its the only GM product I've driven/owned where the gas gage was correct! I Also loved the Bilstein shocks as part of the ZM6 off-road package.

 

'93 K1500 Reg.cab short-bed Z71,350-Auto.trans.My first full-size! Loved it,but hated the color...White,I will never own another White truck again...EVER! They've all been Black since!!!

 

'94 S10 Reg.cab short-bed "ZR2" (special ordered) Factory 31" BFG's,200-horse V6,3.73's,Bilsteins,..whats not to like? Just not enough room for my NASCAR trips that I starting making,which led me to all my future trucks......Full-size,ext.cabs......

 

'94 K1500 Ext.cab short-bed Z71,350-Auto.trans.Perfect traveling truck for my trips,lotsa' room inside!

 

'97 K1500 Ext.cab short-bed Z71,(special ordered)350-Auto.trans.Nice bump in power thanks to the "Vortec" 350,Loved the "F44" H.D. Chassis Pkg.,And better access to the back seat thanks to the 3rd door,Why didn't someone think of that sooner?

 

'99 K1500 Ext.cab short-bed Z71,4.8-V8,Auto.trans.Unbelivably better from my '97,The power!.It seemed a little smaller up front though,I think it was because of the console coming down from the dash to meet the center console,which is still a problem today.Why no 4th door always bothered me GM said it would have delayed production on these trucks and they didn't want to wait any longer to bring them to market,Why no Bilsteins anymore? :)

 

'04 K1500 Ext.cab short-bed Z71,5.3-V8,Auto.trans.Love the On-Star and XM,and...yippee a 4th door,how nice! What a disappointment though that GM took a lot of stuff out...Underhood light,glovebox light,courtesy lights under the dash,full overhead console,no pwr.pass.seat w/o leather,no lumber adjustment w/o leather (My back loves that! :D )And who's idea was it not to put moldings on the bed :uhoh:

 

'07 K1500 Ext.cab short-bed Z71,(special ordered) My current ride...Love the 6-liter,And I finally got a sunroof!!! :)

I've had 4:

 

99 GMC 3/4 ton Suburban

 

01 Chevy 1500 Silverado extended cab

 

03 1500 Chevy Suburban

 

08 GMC 1500 Crewcab

 

The 03 Suburban was awful. I think it was a lemon....almost made me question GM in general, but the previous two were rock solid.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By whenindoubtuseahammer · Posted

      Good evening. I was lucky enough to get passed down to me a 2007 GMC LBZ that was my great uncle's. While the underside and rockers are more or less gone I feel like with time I can restore it to working order since it only has 110,000 miles and he put nearly every option he could get without getting the new body style since he did not trust DEF. So far I have done everything I can think of but when I put the key into the ignition nothing happens. I put 2 brand new batteries in it. Cleaned the terminals. Check all the fuses and relays and they all pass with my multimeter. I know I'm missing something that I just cant think of. The only odd thing is the OBD2 port works which makes me think its not the mega fuse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
