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 put another 20k on it the past year and a half!
While it’s been on trips 60-75 miles regularly with no trouble, recent trips of 250-300 miles have presented a problem. After a 250 mile trip with no issues, the next morning the truck started but without cylinders 2 and 4. I replaced the coil, ignition control module rotor and cap and was on my way. Another 300 miles later, while I was driving at highway speed, I had the same problem. I limped to the next exit, replaced the cap and rotor in the parking lot of a Napa auto and made it home. Since then it runs fine on shorter trips.
Thanks for reading and any help you can offer.
