Hi all, I just bought this 1991 Chevrolet Silverado K1500 (4/1/15)
Information known...
I bought this vehicle off of an individual in Spencer NY who had it for 2.5 years and used it mainly for winter.
The owner before him, lived in South Carolina and swapped a 4.3L to a GM reman. 350ci into it at approx. 99-100k miles.
My intent with this vehicle is to keep it as a nice daily driver and just general clean up and maintenance.
The vehicle currently has 159,6XX miles, and previous owner put approx. 15K miles on it only.
It's not the prettiest, has a lot of paint flaking off the bed, has minimal rust but has a crack in rocker maybe 1.5 inch long by half an inch tall, other wise very solid.
Here is the SPID tag below, I may need help decoding this, as I believe it to be a Z71?
Currently the truck has some cosmetic issues, and has a mechanical issue in which it feels it gives itself too much gas. At low RPM's it seems to just have the timing overly advanced or retarded, it has a large odor of fuel unburnt at idle especially. It seems worse at cold temps, but not much better at warm temps.
My first attempt will be to replace the coolant temp sensor, and after that I am already not too sure what to think of.
The previous owner had countless receipts totaling over $8,000 alone. Transmission, rear end, and transfer case are all relatively recently rebuilt. Interior needs some attention as well, I received a nice dash from the PO, along with a few other things, so that will be a project for another day.
But here is what many people were looking for; some pictures!
