You can thank obummer - he put a 7 year moratorium on new drilling in the gulf for American companies...
We have China, any number of South American cos., hell even Cuba and Viet Nam are drilling there, but not us...nooooo
We gave Brazil stimulus $$$ to drill new wells in the gulf
I listened to the former CEO of Shell, he's saying $5.00 is not far off.
Maybe the new congress can do sumthin, idk....
As much I like hearing people discuss who is at fault about raising fuel prices, and I'm also at fault also by posting the link. I've made a thread in the political section about the subject.You can thank obummer - he put a 7 year moratorium on new drilling in the gulf for American companies...

Hopefully, gas prices won't raise that high, but that may be a dream.
Now, let see Cyberfire has up his sleeve to improve his fuel mileage during these troubling times.

I'm sure one could find a 500+CI Cummins for it if one wanted.
Oooooohhhhh, that would be nice!
Front clip has been removed along with the factory radiator over flow tank, windshield washer tank and pump, rusted inner fenders and battery trays.
Will be replacing the AC compressor while all that is out of the way. Then in with replacement fender wells. Plan to construct an aluminum overflow tank and windshield washer fluid resevoir. Working on some aluminum battery trays to replace the rusty factory ones.
Then a '91 front clip goes back on.
Axles are getting regeared to 4.88:1's. Got some JFP 37" radials to replace the 36" bias plys.

Really looking forward to hanging out again this year Kert.
Sweet, new blower motor!
Oh you mean heater fan right..
Any progress is good progress Kert
Started drooling instantly over a blown bb. Shoulg have stopped reading and kept dreaming. Now I feel a little let down.
All the engine accessories are back in place with improved belt adjusters.
The radiator core support has had a few pieces grafted in to make it complete and rust free. AC condenser and aluminum radiator are bolted in to it. Should make for a nice way to design and build a shroud for the fans.
Got a header gasket to replace and a distributor to install and then I believe the front end is ready to go back together again.

They were aftermarket fans and they still maybe but windstars were discussed. I'm not sure if he got the wind stars yet or not.
Haven't gotten the windstars yet. In the meantime I may make a shroud for my existing electrics. They do the job well enough. Just thought a little less amp draw and more air flow wouldn't hurt.
I do miss driving my truck though.

I guess I wouldn't worry about windstars if you got fans to do the job now. Didn't you have just one on the K5?
I didn't notice what you have on the CC.
Can't wait to see this truck again.
Blazer had dual 12" fans. Crew cab has dual 16's.
The twin 16's put side by side are just slightly larger than the core. That was my only concern.
