    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

    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?

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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...

    Interior Lights Stay On

    I have a '85 K-10 that I have been working on for about 5 to 6 month. It has not been cranked in at least that long. I charged the battery up and before I could get to the cranking part. I noticed that the dome light and courtesy light will not turn off when the doors are closed. I tried the...

    Problem with Door Locks

    I have an '85 K10 and the PO said there were no keys to the door locks so I bought new door lock cylinders. After installing the new lock cylinders, you could not move the lock knobs up or down with your hand and the electric locks would not function. I could lock and unlock the doors with the...

    Power Window Question Again

    I know that has been asked in different ways but I would like to ask one more time. I have a 1985 K10. Both of the window switches are getting power (using a test light) and the proper power is getting to the window motors but the motors are not working in the door. I can take the motor out of...
