1984 k5 blazer

I bought an '84 CUCV Blazer. I love it. It's a little slow getting over the mountains but once you start wheeling it is surely a mountain goat.

Get a 1st gen dodge cummins they are tough as nails and are as emp proof as it gets I have 308000 miles on mine. Also they get better mileage then the crappy 6.2 I get about 18mpg average

Also a solar flare has the same effect as a emp That is my biggest fear

what year is your dodge?

what year is your dodge?

93 it only requires 2 wires to run all mechanical baby. And actually 1st gen is 89- 93 but 89-91.5 were non intercooled so I prefer 91.5-93 standard trans only. Second gen is 94-2002 but the mighty 12valve is 94-98 these trucks would also be emp proof or solar flare proof and they are also the most desirable because they have the p pump. And the holy grail would be the 1998 12valve 4x4 it's 1/2 year only it has the rear doors that open and is has bigger valves and the injector pump i think has bigger delivery valves and it is rated at 215hp instead of 190hp. But a nice 1998 12 valve is hard to find and they will cost you I searched for a year and finally found my dad a 98 short bed extended cab white sport package fully loaded 5 speed 120k and he gave 10 grand. My brother has 2x4 dually that is a 1998 and he gave 7grand

they stop the first generation at 98. 98.5 is second generation.

If you buy a '78 or earlier Blazer, they are emissions equipment exempt...classified as a Heavy Duty (6200lbs). '79 that changed. As long as it is tuned correctly, it passes the sniffer test.
