    86 K10 smoking under dash.

    I wish it were just a cigarette LOL. It'd be a lot easier to fix. Well if they're on the tail light circuit then I have separate problems as I suspected because the tail lights were still working. Maybe I let the smoke out of the light switch, if only I knew how to reinstall the smoke

    86 K10 smoking under dash.

    Just went to take my son to practice last night and there was quite a bit of smoking coming from under the dash. Disconnected the battery for now and found the dash lights and the radio were not working when I had a quick second to check it. The 15 amp radio fuse was blown. I tried another one...

    Fuel issues

    That's probably not a bad idea actually, I cleaned the whole tank and replaced all fuel lines when I got the truck but there's always a chance of getting trash at the gas pump. I would hope the filter sock in the tank would catch it but who knows at this point.

Not knowing the mileage I was thoroughly surprised at how good the cylinders looked and compression was at 150...

    86 K10 pickup Column Shift problem

    You were right. I pulled it back apart and adjusted the switch towards the back and it all works properly now. I didn't pay attention that it was slotted until you posted this.

    86 K10 pickup Column Shift problem

    Got a weird problem after dropping the steering column to replacing the ignition switch on my son's 86 K10. After replacing the truck starts up fine but the column shifter only moves a slight bit like it's locked, it makes a slight clunk like it's about to shift out of park but it doesn't. Could...
