Just would like to correct a few misleading things in the video.
The 350 in 1987+ was tbi fuel injection.
Though the wood trim did exist in k5 blazers, they didn't come like that after the early 80s.
All k5 blazers are two door.
Silverado was the name for the highest trim package of the vehicle.

That's weird that your k5 blazer review is of the same modified one that Regular Car Reviews did a video on.

Bought a 1989 Blazer new and ran it until 2001 when I sold it with 235, 000 miles (same engine one tranny replacement) for a Yukon. Great truck. GM blew it not building them again with more modern guts like ABS, but it would never be a simple as these with emissions garbage to contend with.

I am amazed that it is still running after 31 years. Good review; thanks.

[celsovera]

I love how it still has the old-school Illinois plates

Freaking beautiful K5 man. I've been wanting to buy one a go through literally every last bolt and restore re-fab or re-new everything. That is exactly what my end goal looks like. I freaking love the color pant job too it matches the truck so well

You should see the gauges in the military issue Blazers, or a base-base Jeep Cherokee XJ or Wrangler TJ. You got a big speedometer and a big fuel gauge and a few small idiot lights for everything else, because that's all the bean-counters decided you needed.

So awesome you got to drive Dominick’s K5!

This is the blazer most people remember. The only thing the new one shares with this is its name.
Edit: when you mentioned the new blazer with its three cylinder engine, you were actually thinking of the trailblazer, which is a completely different model. And at least two sizes down from the blazer. The blazer has a four cylinder engine on base models with an optional V6 engine.

I had one back in high school, mine was a 78' she had a 3 or 4" left with 35" tires.

Good to see a K5 Blazer. As a GM guy from that era let me help with a couple things. Adding fuel injection injection by itself was not an upgrade to this Blazer. They were throttle body injected 350 engines since 1987. Also the horrible wood grain was aftermarket, and probably installed by the same pimp outfit that did the sunroof. Silverado was also not the name for the cap, it was a trim package before GM started using it as a model name. GM’s trim levels for their trucks had the Silverado at the top with Scottsdale just below it. Your review was good and most enjoyable. Thank you, but I just wanted to clarify a few minor details.

Nice talking . Nice old truck too . Beautiful Blazer like this Channel . Watching from GERMANY .

[lukeneff]

I want one of these so bad but it’s hard to find em especially on the east coast

[mromatic]

is this Dominic's blazer from regular car reviews?

[scottymoore]

I have a 1981 k10 SILVERADO that still runs like a top. Silverado has been the best, highest level trim for Chevy. Silverado has been out for decades. Been out since late 70s. Maybe earlier so don’t quote me. But been out a long time before 1990.

[abandonedwayamoon]

Just saying the 1990 chevy blazer 350 had Throttle Body Fuel Injection and it had it since 1987 so the engine didnt gain fuel Injection but it probably has better fuel injection and 140 more hps so that's nice!

[dickeymoore]

How much does one of these k5 blazers costs today?Thanks

[electriclott]

The 1990 had different rearview mirrors than this blazer. Unless that was part of a trim package with the power ones? I think I actually prefer these style of mirriors to the black plastic ones.

[johnmatthews]

I don't think you can legally remove the roof on this particular model--the seatbelts for the rear seats are mounted to it! The same thing would happen to the Bronco 2 years later.

[hunnerbunner]

13 transmissions? what a pile of crap! I love my chevy. these things don't die.
