    91 K1500 350 TBI Running Rough

    was the truck parked for a while prior to you buying it? you might want to do a routine maintenance run on it. I would also test the fuel pressure. you can rent a tool from a hardware store if you don't have one or want to purchase one,

    91 C1500 C notch problems

    91 c1500 Going 2" Lower Up Front
