Talking Hi from the UK
Just joined the site .

I've got a 1983 k5 blazer full-size 4x4 6.2 diesel.

She's not in perfect condition but she's an ideal daily driver !

*I think* diesel in the UK is pretty cheap because a lot of smaller cars are switching to it as a fuel

welcome to the show.

you know ABN, i'm getting better fuel mileage in my 6.2 'Burb, than in my 4.3 Blazer, plus diesel is about 7 to 8 cent/liter chaper than gas, so it saves even more money. also, i don't have to stop every 400 kilometers to fill up either!
this Blazer is getting the same MPG as my other 'Burb with the 5.7 in it. if the body wasn't so far gone (thanks to humid Ontario Winters!) i'd probably be driving that for my DD. but, i can't really take a 'Burb of the pavement (but i tried often!).
