13 Cons about the K5 Blazer

Had a request to talk about some cons of the K5 Blazer

[@raychat2816]

These cons are rather quickly becoming features rather than bugs thanks to manufacturers not only using spit to glue new trucks together but saving on the spit as well with each passing year

[@wirelessgnat4208]

I sold mine a couple years back and I miss it everyday. Dude sweet talked me down and it was worst deal I made truck had no rust 1 dent that was small like golf ball size. Everything worked and I used to take my top off alone and it weights more then I do. There amazing and I'm looking for another now. Great vid

[@esteved1812]

Aye these aren't cons simply things to keep us busy n proud. Best SUV ever!! Long live the K5 and the owners who have Em!

[@EddieC2000]

Really they are not cons. The pros out weigh the cons for sure

[@MohamedAbdallahCherif]

So sad there will never be K5 and Jimmy based on the current Tahoe / Yukon generation. I prefer it over the Ford Bronco.

I have my grandpas 88 k5 and drive it regularly. It's just about to turn over 80k original miles and runs great. I just got her repainted and spiffed up, but ever since reassembly, I'm having horrible electrical issues.

[@gublicity]

I’m 19. But I’d rather have these blazers than the shit ones they have today. I hope to get a k5 one day

You guys will have one. They’re the best. I got one at 19

[@armygreenfj3924]

The only con is not having one.

[@deegan727]

For the window, lube the cable,regulator, and tracks. Mine is fast now and I done it 2 years ago. Speed, re gearing is a must even with stock size tires. Mine had 2.73, yes 2.73 not 3.73. The top, I installed 4 folding surface mount boat cleats to my top and an electric winch in the trusses of my garage. It’s literally a 5 minute one person job now.

[@joed5472]

Yes had the same problem with a bronco I had and some lube fixed that.now I have a 76k5 manual window.

[@EddieC2000]

I will do that thanks for the tip

[@deegan727]

@62guitarguy Luckily mine has the 350, I couldn’t imagine the 305😂 I drive in D most of the time so it doesn’t hunt between 3/4. I’m currently building a 370 “LS” (6.0 lq4 .030 over) and a 4l80e to swap in hopefully next winter, I’m painting the truck this winter. 500+ NA crank hp and 4.56s shouldn’t have a problem getting 33s rolling after that.

[@wims58ej]

@@deegan727 I put a 383 and a 4l80e in mine . One thing I hate about the 4l80 is if you downshift it going down a hill , it just free wheels, no engine braking. Apparently they are made this way and can't be modded. Wish I would have known that before I installed it. I would have got a 5 speed stick. Luckily I have 4 wheel disc brakes. Love your truck!!!

[@natehartung8734]

I admire your 87 just as much as my 86 and they look almost identical and both from sunny California... but now in oregon. I love the video's you have posted and made my day your K5 again all sexy like...

[@marklivingston1479]

I have a 79. 1ton axles, cross over steering with hydraulic assist, 5:13 gears & 38" swampers! I LOVE IT!

[@muddyram]

Biggest con nowadays is the scarcity and price for a decent one. I truly miss having one. New trucks just aren’t the same

[@EddieC2000]

Yeah that's true. I might only see one or two a year around here.

[@wims58ej]

EddieC1982 , My 91 is super easy, just push on the back of the seat lightly and the back flips forward and the whole seat springs forward . Then you just push the seat back after the passenger enters, or the rear passenger can grab the seat back and pull it and it locks into place. Your rig is a Silverado, it should have this feature. Maybe something is locked up in the mechanism .

[@williamhenry1934]

I bought my blazer from Portland Oregon, it’s an 88 . They don’t treat there roads there and they’re not all rusty. I live in Pennsylvania . It wasn’t cheap to ship it , but well worth it. I paid 14 grand for it and we stripped it down and painted it. Not a dime size area of rust anywhere. After we finished it , it looks brand new . New bumpers tires trim rings , a few interior part and it literally looks brand new. It’s blue , not the most wanted color but the underside and no rust makes it worth it. Thought I would share with everyone looking for one of these my find and hope you find a solid project or finished blazer to enjoy as us.

[@theamaturepro]

I've also got an 88 and just repainted it blue just as it came from the factory. Mines the dark deep blue, I've seen others that are a lighter blue I'm not as much a fan of. But sounds like we've done and have pretty much the same truck. Yours a stick? Mine runs the small block and sm465 4 speed. Great for off road, but as a daily driver it takes a lot of energy to drive. Stiff clutch, gearshift has what seems like two feet between gears, and it's just a lot of mass to keep on the road sometimes

[@wolfweb448]

Had a k5 89 in the early 90s best car I ever had! A spme kind of dealers special imported 1990 to sweden, lockers, warn winch and a little lift on 35s and a gas preheateter. Great piece of equipment, way better than anything i owned after. I sold it after a couple of years and a lot of miles. Still miss it! Bought it with mudders on in the winter, first 4wd i drove.. gave me a scare when I tried to break and turn into my bushroad.. I past the crossing with a couple of hundred meters.. that gave 18 year old me rhe experience that Nordic studded tires are more important than 4wd on the road 😂

[@americanfamiliesfirst2790]

Had a park ranger 75 k5 Cheyenne and a 87 k5 Silverado. When i had the 87 k5, i found another top and cut the fiberglass(very carefully) 1" from where you bolt it on to the roof. Fiberglassed where it curved then came straight down. 1 1/2" thick and added a bracelets on the bed, reinforced the fiberglass with large steel washers. Molded a Silverado sliding glass on it. Painted the same color as the truck. Pin brackets for the backseat, even thou no one ever use it. I could turn it back and forth into a truck/blazer. Wished i had never sold them.

[@misterrbl5156]

I had a 86 jimmy and man there are days that I wish I still had it. It wasn't perfect but it paid for itself a hundred times over. I had that break issue but it was simple adjustment of the rear drum breaks that fixed it. If I ever had the money I would totally get one again but would fix all of those cons and make it better.

[@toddrowley5237]

Is there a reason the tail pipes are on upside down? Looks like the left is on the right.

[@EddieC2000]

I took em off. They would never line up right

[@johnmilligan2964]

One of the weaknesses of the the square bodies from 1973 through 1988 for the pickup trucks and 1991 for the Suburbans and Blazers is the hood buckling due to insufficient bracing and the strength of the hood hinges. You see quite a few of them with hoods that are kinked on the side

[@MyBuddyJohnny]

I sat there, trying to adjust the hood stops above my radiator, could never get that hood to sit down straight.

[@MyBuddyJohnny]

The biggest weakness on my blazer was the rear window keyed switch did not roll the window back up, had to use the switch on the dash panel, loved that blazer.

[@johnmilligan2964]

The door pins were always an issue from 73 thru 91. That is the reason you see so many of them that you have to lift the door as you close it or it will hit the frame instead of latching.

[@MyBuddyJohnny]

@@johnmilligan2964 looked like a solid retirement plan in my younger days, never had many issues with that truck, used to own a 93 k2500 5 speed & it had terrible door pins.

[@jerryrodriguez7261]

So for my K5 ,i had the driveshafts lengthened and rebuilt . Regeared to 456. Took off the hard top for a soft topper. Replaced the heavy tailgate with a pickup tailgate . Led bulbs in the guage.

[@isaacparras7772]

I’ve got a 77 (6” lift on 35s) but not nearly as nice as what you’ve got……yet. I agree with your list for sure. The passenger seat on mine flips forward with one handle, makes it pretty nice to get in the back.

[@patricksettle]

I just got my 86 rockers are gone lower quarters door corners all shot Minnesota for ya

[@cdeprima1209]

You need to be a mechanic to fix driveshafts, just need to lube u-joints; Need to setup springs to be happy, no overload thick bottom springs, need shackles at 45 degrees for comfort. Not too tall since can be tippy and teeter. No brakes do not pull to the side. Put good gearing and they go esp. with standard transmission. Forget all the princess nonsense! One of best looking vehicles! :)

[@josephmuratalla9074]

And he’s the gas tank on the passenger. Why 🤣🤣🤣💯💯💯💯

[@robmugs]

That tailgate...... always fought with keeping the window mech from rotting out. Not sure if that has been fixed with aftermarket?

[@johnwheaton4636]

Thanks... All true Back window is the worst Otherwise ❤ love my 83

[@ariegt]

out here in Holland the gas stations are small so if i pull up next to the pump i can't open my door IF the gas filler was on the driver side. So for me this is no con. Lube the hell out of your tracers of your rear window it will help and just put led lights in your gauge cluster. Could be also you have a little vibration in your driveshaft what kills the cross yoke. One real con i would mention is look out for a bended hood and push it to the back when closing , regards 78 - K5

[@hastyhillfarmand4x480]

This thing is gorgeous, I hope to get mine to this condition one day.

[@austinmonk8809]

Speaking on the rear seat access, I got an 84 and that mf is so easy, it’s just trying to get it to latch. People always think it’s gonna break. I love mine. I want to build mine into an all rounder vehicle. If I want to go rock crawling, it can do that, mudding, does that with flying colors. Whoops are my issue, it’s just too short to get it to no throw you everywhere

[@georgeperillo6421]

Back in the day I owned a 1981 K5 Silverado Blazer. My only cons were the door mirrors (blind spots) and the door hinges/springs gave out. I made the mistake of putting 33 inch Dick Cepek tires on it (great tires) not realizing that it came from the factory with 2:73 freeway flyers which made performance dismal. I wish I still had it as it was a stud, kept my family safe. It not only looked good but would reliably go anywhere I had the nerve to take it.

[@youngreap1564]

Is it a good daily driver? I’m thinking of getting one😊

[@thedobermangang3503]

I got a 1990 K5 I have my truck for years I never had a problem with my door flying open

[@firefighteruppy9121]

Don't forget the frame cracking behind the steering box. Of course this is a common problem with most square bodies. There's a company in Colorado, Off Road Design, that specializes in square bodies and has a fix for it.

[@EddieC2000]

Yep I've had that problem before it was $1500.00 to get it fixed too

[@angusbeef524]

You can also get the two piece channel set from rough country. Although off-road design is great for their Kevlar Bring bushings!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@David-vb8ih]

If you can get that K5 in your garage you can use what the Hardtop Jeep guys use to lift their tops. You can use a ceiling hoist system. Lift off drive out and leave the top in the air. When you want to put it back on just back into the garage under it and lower it back down. 1 man 2 to 3 min job.

[@EddieC2000]

Yeah I've though about that.

[@theamaturepro]

Where do you attach onto it with a hoist?

[@brendongollon868]

I've got an 87 Jimmy. For entry into the back you have to push on the back part of seat towards the dash and the whole seat should slide forward. Passenger side seat only though

[@ariegt]

the same for my 78 blazer , i thougt it was maybe because of a different year. I think its not original in Eddies K5

[@wims58ej]

@@ariegt Yeah, my 91 is super easy, just push on the back of the seat lightly and the back flips forward and the whole seat springs forward . Then you just push the seat back and it locks into place. EddieC1981 rig is a Silverado, it should have this feature.

[@heavychevygarage]

Im currently designing flip forward brackets that can mount slide rails as well. So both seats have flip and slide action.

[@wims58ej]

@@heavychevygarage Yeah, I've always wondered why they didn't make both seats go forward for rear passenger entry.

[@Coach_BigMac]

Miss my 75 K5 more than any vehicle I've ever owned. It was overbuilt with 1 ton axles and a 454 motor.

[@EddieC2000]

Another con I would say is you have to loosen the dashboard to replace the front speakers. That can be a task.

[@CJ-gk8jb]

In a meth infested neighborhood, difficult to remove parts are a good things! As its widely accepted to be difficult to do on drugs. Haha! thanks for the video.

[@richardorsulak1776]

The hard pull to the right is just the weight from the front diff

[@AnthonysResurrectionGarage]

I’d take these cons over the crap they make today.

[@heavychevygarage]

1. Drive shaft angle is important no matter what vehicle you lift. 2. I agree, putting the gas under the taillight would be perfect. 3. Tailgate - swap for Truck Tailgate no more glass and heavy tailgate. 4. Lol who doesn’t service their transfercase and axles? 5. Rust happens in some areas. 6. Dual shocks is absolute garbage. Ranchos are garbage. Go single mono tube billsteins. 7. Plop some Hp in it 8. Yeah 9. That’s from you having a bad alignment 10. I prefer dim gauges. Less distracting at night. 11. Door Hinge pins have to be changed. Buy a new striker they are $3 12. Yeah, the later models should have kept the jumper seat. 13. The tops are garbage. Soft toppers always. Hence the truck tailgate.

[@wims58ej]

The original strikers last an extremely long time, easily over 100k miles, so a new striker is a much better investment over the goofy ass diy methods I see people posting on youtube using various kinds of soft plastic tube. Also, non rusted K5 are so easy to take apart, there is no excuse to not replacing the door hinge pins and bushings. Even the door latch assemblies are reasonably priced. My driver side was pretty worn out and I got a new one for $65 and it really works nice. Hard closing doors is something I can't stand. When I put in new door seals it made the doors quite a bit harder to shut . Hopefully they will smush down enough eventually and need a less forceful slam.

[@heavychevygarage]

@@wims58ej make sure you put the door seals in the correct orientation. I put new seals in my new k5 and it was like that for maybe a month. But with regular use that has subsided. Although, Up north though that striker area usually gets rusted pretty bad. I’ve actually broken the entire piece off the door-jam trying to remove a striker. So I guess that could be a reason to just put pvc on it haha

[@MyBuddyJohnny]

On the later model blazers, to take the tops off, you had to take the interior apart to remove the two bolts running upwards into the fiberglass topper, Chevy must have been tipped off that in the 90s they were requiring a 3rd brake light hence the broncos sold after 91 did not come advertising a removable top.

[@rcdrives3882]

It might have some cons, but dang it's a beautiful thing!

[@mromatic17]

When I went to buy my truck I was looking for a square body k10 or k20 but I found a 96k mile 1994 f-150 4x4 RCSB 5.0 5 speed 1 owner for a really good price so I bought it. I still love it and I love all old trucks and cars as i'm not a brand whore!

[@andyw6702]

I had a 78 K5 Blazer. You touched on two pet peeves of mine. The rear window, worst design ever. You're right about rolling it up and down and potential for leaks BUT the worst is that driving in the rain, anywhere but particularly dirt roads, makes it impossible to see out of the rearview mirror. Every SUV I've had since, except for a Suburban with ambulance doors, has had a windshield wiper. Was it really that hard for GM to figure out? Ahhh, the "removable top". After I took it off the second time, I made a blood oath I'd never do it again. Heavy as hell, leave it off long enough at it loses enough shape to make it nearly impossible to get back on right. Talk about leaks! had to loosen and move enough to adjust the rubber strips several times. NEVER AGAIN. On a minor note, it was a rattle trap from the day I drove it off the dealership lot. I'm convinced it was mostly the spare tire mount, inside, but never could completely fix it. Oh, and the gas cap, spot on! Although, I'm pretty sure, since my first Suburban, the gas cap has been on the driver's side.

[@estevendouglas6957]

Ahhh. The wonderful Chevy gremlins strike again! Think illogical outside the box Check the light switch those go bad than look into loose connections from computer to ignition wires.My issue was my actual fuel injector wires where arcing and causing all kind of issues.I spliced in new wires and injectors from LMC and no issues.Good luck

[@wims58ej]

The galvanize on these was pretty horrible. I took my 91 down to bare metal, full frame off resto. The galvanize was bubbly and peeling off everywhere. There were some random spots where the galvanize was stuck tight, but I ground all of it off cause it's garbage. Resprayed everything with 2 coats of epoxy primer. GM had a lot of paint issues with their early attempts at galvanizing.

[@randysretired2020]

Another con is death wobble. I have it in my ‘87 Blazer and I’m having a tough time figuring out the cause.

[@EddieC2000]

Yeah I hear you on that one. I had to put 15 x 10 rims on mine. It stabilized it for me. I had 15 x 8 and it wobbled and swayed

[@christopherconard2831]

Harder to find, but look for a diesel version if fuel economy is an issue. A friend usually got 20-22 mpg. Though that was when it was much newer and he did a fair amount of straight driving without stop and go. The downside is he had to absolutely floor it to merge into highway traffic. I joked it had a 0-60 that was measured with a sundial.

My ‘88 had a mechanism on the passenger seat. Lay the seat back all the way forward. Once it gets all the way, there’s a mechanism that releases the slider and the whole seat slides forward and stays loose on the track. Pull it back then lay the seatback back. Mine is now non functioning but I haven’t messed with it to see what the issue is. So they actually improved for your 87 but it’s likely broken too lol.

i love square bodies but the fact that they put a gas filler on each side is so freaking stupid. why make the customer move the truck to a different pump just to fill up the other tank. if they put both behind the rear license plate that would be perfect then it hides it too plus you can get gas at either side the pump is on.

@@EddieC2000 yeah most old chevy and gm cars had the gas cap behind the rear license plate. like the c3 and earlier corvettes, camaros firebirds from like 1981 and earlier.

Yep loved the gas cap behind the plate. Didn't have to wait for a certain pump to open up. Or you gotta back it in to fill up. Freaking annoying

To fix your drive shaft issues rotate your axles upwards i had a '78 GMC 3/4 Ton 4x4 with a 6 inch lift 44 mudders turn your axles up and it helps 😎👍
