The full size blazers are K5s Edit: Can anyone else back this up?  I'm back and forth...I thought there was an older T-10/T-15...which makes me think the T-15 was the 4 door...but at the same time...weren't 4-doors not produced till 95?  And then there's the whole 92-95 Blazer Sports...the full sizers with the single panel rear windows....were those still K5s?  I've confused myself...I should quit while I'm ahead < Message edited by WolfPack -- 4/18/2008 9:49:44 AM > _____________________________ 2000 Blazer 4d LS 4x4 - 265/70/15 General Grabber AT2s - Hunter Brush Guard - Surco Roof Rack with IPF 868s - 1.5'' Shackle + Tbar - 2'' BL (in reply to 95LS) Post #: 6

S15 Jimmy became Jimmy  in '92 S10 Blazer became S-Blazer in '93, which became Blazer in '95. The full size Jimmy in '92 (not the S15) becamse the Yukon, and in '95 the full size Blazer was renamed Tahoe. Still doesn't say when the differentiation between K5 and the full size Blazer (which became Tahoe) started.  Conclusion:  We both drive Blazers.  Anyone have any insight on the K5-Fullsize Blazer name switch? _____________________________ 2000 Blazer 4d LS 4x4 - 265/70/15 General Grabber AT2s - Hunter Brush Guard - Surco Roof Rack with IPF 868s - 1.5'' Shackle + Tbar - 2'' BL (in reply to 95LS) Post #: 8

A K5 Blazer is EXACTLY the same as a Tahoe. They just changed the name. It's on the same platform as a Silverado/Sierra/K-Jimmy/Yukon/Suburban (the only difference between the Tahoe and Suburban is that the latter has a longer wheelbase). An S-10 Blazer is what you have.  It's on the same chassis as an S-10/S-15/Sonoma pickup, and is exactly the same as an S-15 Jimmy. I really don't think there's any difference between an S and a T.  The differences we have to worry about are between the S and the K.  Does this help, or is it just confusing you more?  _____________________________ Raphael (in reply to WolfPack) Post #: 15
