    Distributor issues on long trips...

    I bought a 1997 K1500 305ci 5spd for use as a plow truck and a run around on the property for weekend work. It had over 200k miles when I got it. Problem is after new plugs, wires, cap, rotor, water pump, t-stat, tires, belts, tensioners and all fluids changed it runs great. Runs so well I...
