    I have not posted on here in a long time, just semi'lurked. I finally had to do a repair on my 83 K10. The entire steering linkage had become so loose that I was steering 180 degrees and still going straight. It scared me even more when I was loaded down on the 8 ft bed with black locust. My...

    Heat thru vents

    My heat only blows through the floor or defrost. If I switch to vent it sounds like it is just circling inside the heater box. If I slide it over to cold, it blows hard out the vents. I checked all the actuators and vacuum lines plus the back of the control unit and everything is good. Is this...
