    Please look at Pictures

    Thank you for responding. Is there a way to test the TCC lockup switch? Also, what is ESC that you mentioned? Should I take the plug off and hook a vacuum line back up? Thank you for helping me.

    Please look at Pictures

    Can someone help me identify what I'm pointing at in the picture? I think it has something to do with the TC lockup but I'm not sure The reason I'm investigating this is my '85 K-10 has a noticeable "feel" like it tries to come out of overdrive at highway speeds but then quickly goes away. It...

    Power Windows Again

    Hello - I read a post from 2017 concerning a man's electric window problems. I have something similar going on with my '85 K-10. The LH window switch operates the LH window fine but it doesn't do anything for the RH window. The RH switch doesn't move the window either. I checked the continuity...

    Body Side Molding

    Thank you both for helping. I had already bought some side molding and now I know I bought the wrong style. I bought the chrome in the center with black on both sides (Silverado) and I'll send it back and get the correct molding. Thanks again

    Body Side Molding

    I have an '85 Scottsdale K-10 truck and have a question about whether or not the Scottsdale package came from the factory with side molding or was that just a Silverado thing? I am going back all original and I don't want to add side molding or wheel well molding if it was not put on...

    Can I Get a Build Sheet?

    Yours is beautiful. I thought about it. Maybe go with colors similar to yours and get some side molding. Do you know if the Scottsdale package ever came two tone?

    Can I Get a Build Sheet?

    Thank you to everyone for trying to help me. Yes the interior is the burgundy referenced on the glove box info. It never occurred to me that it could have been two tone until the paint man mentioned it. However now I think he is mistaken. The silver paint in the picture has been removed and some...

    Can I Get a Build Sheet?

    I have an '85 K-10 Scottsdale that I am working on. I'm not sure how many times it may have been painted before I bought it. Currently it is a solid silver color without any side molding. I have attached pictures of the glove box info. The man at the PPG paint store said that based on the glove...

    Dual Fuel Tank Question

    Okay, I get it now. It seems it is working fine now that I know a little better about what I'm doing. Thanks for the help.

    Dual Fuel Tank Question

    I bought a new dash mounted switch and I'm confused about the way it works. If you press the switch and release it seems to go back to an open circuit. I put a test light on the pink wire to make sure I was getting 12 volts. I then put the test light on the DK GRN or LT GRN wire and they only...

    Dual Fuel Tank Question

    I have an '85 K10 with a mechanical fuel pump and it is equipped with dual tanks and the dash toggle switch. My question is should there be a voltage drop from the switch to the valve? I'm getting 12v at the switch and about 7 volts at the valve. The dash switch has 4 wires and I have checked...

    Trouble with Cold Start

    No I'm not actually. My main question I guess is setting the electric choke for cold start. Should I be holding it to the floor to crank it or just press it down to the floor and then release?

    Trouble with Cold Start

    I have an '85 K-10 with a new Edelbrock AVS carb. I takes a lot of cranking to start it when cold but cranks and starts easily when warmed up. When cold and trying to crank it the "CHOKE" light on the dash comes on. Is the choke plate set too closed or too open do you think? And by cold starting...

    Windshield Washer Pump

    I asked this question not long ago but I think I rambled on about other issues and might have confused any help I might have gotten. My '85 K10 has a column mounted multi function switch that operates turn signals, hi/lo beams and wipers and washer pump. Everything works as it should except the...

    Wiper washer won't stop and I have no intermittent wipers

    I have a 1985 truck and I put in a new multi function switch just to "spruce up" the interior a bit. The truck originally came with intermittent wipers but they don't work. The PO spliced a ground wire into the pink wire on the wiper washer pump and as long as the ignition switch is on, the...

    Dash Lights and Power Window Problems

    Thank you to everyone that took time to help me with these issues. I may try to see if I can very slightly increase the "gap" between the gauges and the retainer somehow. Since it is rarely driven at night I'm not overly concerned but I still want everything to work like it is supposed to work...

    Dash Lights and Power Window Problems

    Good morning - I have a '85 K-10 and replaced many of the gauges and bought a new circuit board. I put in all new gauge light bulbs and they all burn as they should but when I put the black plastic piece that goes behind the clear plastic lens, I get NO light illuminating the gauges. I pulled...

    Heater/AC Question 1985 K-10

    I cannot get air to flow out of the dash vents. Air mostly comes out through the floor vents and a little through the defroster vents. Some say that is normal. I've never had another vehicle that did not force air out of the panel vents when in the "Vent" mode. When do the panel vents come into...

    Single wire temperature sensor versus two wire sensor

    Thank you that is good to know. My old sensor was what you called a button type where the wire attached at a right angle. I'll try to get on of those. Thank you again

    Single wire temperature sensor versus two wire sensor

    I bought a new coolant temp sensor (it is a two wire connector) and went to put it in and realized the sensor in the truck only had one wire. If I use the new sensor which wire do I use and what happens to the other wire. Should I just take it back and try to find a one wire sensor?

    1985 K-10 knock sensor

    Yes I'll take a picture and post it but it looks just like a greasy version of what chengny showed. I went ahead and got another one coming anyway. and a new pigtail. That brings up another similar question. I also bought a new temp sensor and pigtail. However the new connection has 2 wires but...

    1985 K-10 knock sensor

    Yesterday I removed what I thought was my oil pressure sending unit but it turns out I removed the knock sensor as I got a face full of water for my efforts. My question is should the end of the sensor where the wire connects be able to completely rotate? It is plastic ant the wire connection...
