Undoing a lift.

Hello everyone. It's been a while since I've posted on this site. I thought I was going to sell my truck, but it turned that my Ford sold first. That has left me with my Chevy. I bought the truck with a lift already on it, and, to be honest, I don't like the truck lifted. I'd much rather...

Transmission cooler

I would like to put a transmission cooler on my truck--'88 5.7L, TBI. I have never done this before on any vehicle I have owned. My question is this--Should I completely bypass the radiator all together, or do I find the return line to the transmission coming from the radiator and mount inline...

Spark Knock

Well, here I go again. *sigh* I thought I had everything lined out on this truck. I bought a camper today. It's an older one, '74 18' Prowler. I know this thing doesn't weigh more than 3600-3800 lbs. I hook on to it after paying the fella we get it from, head on down the road grinnin from...

Wiring harness

I have a friend who is putting a 305 into a 1987 K10 that originally came with a diesel. He knows he needs to get a gas engine wiring harness, but what he doesn't know is if the harnesses have the same style plug on them where they bolt into the fuse box at the firewall. He's hoping that he...

Towing a camper

He everyone. We would like to buy a camper. I found one recently that is one of those slide in types that goes in the bed of the truck. It hangs over the cab of the truck, but not past the bed of the truck. I really don't think it weighs very much, but there is a sticker in my glovebox that...

Souther Indiana/Northern Kentucky?

Anyone else around here from a southern Indiana border town along the Ohio River? How about northern KY along the Ohio River? I live close to Evansville, Indiana.

Don't know what to try next

Hi. Out of desperation, I have decided to join a forum like this one to see if I can fix my truck. Back in September I bought a 1988 K1500 with a near new 5.7 liter engine (installed in Feb. '10). The truck ran fairly well, but it had a problem with a very low idle when in gear. My mechanic...
