My '94 K2500, once the major bugs were worked out (new water pump, distributor rotor+cap+wires, ignition coil, radiator, alternator and transmission), has been mechanically rock solid (good engine, decent body, nice interior), but every now and then, a sensor wire will pop loose under the hood and cause all kinds of problems (the TPS sensor harness once popped loose, and the truck would die unless I just barely tapped the gas pedal to get up to speed).
I'm sure the old plastic clips bending and breaking from age and heat fatigue is a probable cause, but is it normal? I could fix them with zip ties, I suppose, but I just want to know if it's a common problem, as I don't see many complaints about it.
It's been one of the major reasons I can't consider this truck to be 100% reliable, as this keeps happening, and I'd like to get to the bottom of this so I don't have to feel like I need to get a new(er) truck.
Even without this problem, I'm not sure I'd drive it across the country or anything (at least not without some upgrades to the interior, such as better seats), but it would be nice to be able to use it more regularly without worrying about wires popping loose al the time.
