GM doesn't have a v10 as far as I know, and the blazer doesnt have a v10 if GM has one. You're thinking of the 5.7L V8...small block chevy, chevy 350, whatever you want to call it

You'll get maybe 13-15 highway. On a good day

You're looking at about ~13mpg. I've got two of them and they aren't very good on gas.....but they are awesome for plowing. They're basically an suv made from a regular cab-short bed pickup. The older ones you could take both roofs off, which made it open air, like a Jeep.

Edit: Here's one of mine

and if u look at www.fueleconomy.gov and look for the K5 all they have is the V10 version (not v10 motor) just the model of it.

I see what you're talking about. I guess I was confused with your original post.

Don't know first hand, but a buddy has one of the diesel military ones, and supposedly he gets 16+

The 6.2L diesels get pretty good mileage. 15+ around town, low 20's on the highway. Unfortunately, they are extremely slow. The torque gets them going off the line, but after about 20mph or so they just die. The later 6.5L was better, but diesel Blazers/Yukons of that generation are hard to find.

What tires are those on your blazer? They looked like ground hawgs but I don not believe they came in whitewalls

I'd look for one from before 75 that way you're smog exempt in CA. I don't trust older trucks like that to continually pass smog easily. It's just easier not to have to deal with emissions.

Armstrong Tru-Grip R-V's

I believe Armstrong became Pirelli in the early 90's. (Tells you how old those tires are.)
