    No acceleration at beginning of drive

    When I start driving either when the car is cold or warm, the truck hardly responds to the throttle. I can put it to the floor and no acceleration occurs. After several seconds, the truck starts to respond and runs fine. I took it to the Chevy dealer and they said it was due to a gummed up...

    vibration at hwy speeds

    1998 K1500 5.7L Truck vibrates (not terrible but annoying) most noticeably at 60-75mph. I also notice it when I let off of the throttle to let it coast (again, at hwy speeds). Any Ideas? It is not the front end as I had the whole front end replaced (not because of this issue).

    fan won't work on high

    My blower fan won't work when it is on the highest setting, it will work on the 3 lower settings though. I am thinking about maybe trying to replace the blower motor resistor, any thoughts?

    weak air coming from dash vents

    When I have the dash vents selected for the HVAC system, the air coming out of the vents is really weak & also blows out of the floor vents. Shouldn't the floor vents be blocked off? I can hear the blower motor is really working (it is new).
