Hello everybody I’m Michael. First post here. First I love these old trucks lol. I have a 96 1500 z71 but frame is broke and it’s been patiently waiting a frame swap. But anyway. I just today got a 96 k2500 regular cab 5.7 vortec. Was auto originally but somebody swapped a 5 speed nv4500 in it. First question is sometimes it wants to idle high sometimes it don’t. I don’t know anything about it as the guy I got it from didn’t know. It ran and drove ok for the hour drive home. He did do a intake gasket on it before he sold it to me. Also the speedometer doesn’t work. Other gauges seem to. I have found a couple frame spots that need attention but better then a complete frame swap like my other one. Any and all advice is greatly appreciated. If this has been discussed before which I’m sure it has I’m apologize. I’m not to tech savvy and just trying to figure out as I go. Thanks.
