I'm a proud new owner of an 85 K5 with a 350. /forums/images/graemlins/k5.gif /forums/images/graemlins/woot.gif
The truck needs a couple of things and I thought I'd ask the questions here and see if anybody can help a nOOb out.
Electrical problem. With the headlights on if I put the truck in reverse (auto) it kills it. There's obviously a short somewhere but just wondering if anybody knows where I should start looking.
Catalytic converter: The truck came from California and the guy took the cat out of it. How is this going to effect me for getting emissions here in CO? I need to replace most of the piping as it's all rusted and leaking all over the place. Do I need to have a new cat installed as well? Any ideas on what muffler/exhaust sytem I should have installed and where to have it done at? Also, I think it needs to be adjusted for high-altitude. It's running a little rough right now and I'm thinking that may be part of the problem. What do I need to do for that?
Spare Parts: I need a couple of things for the truck, namely a new driver's side corner vent window and the antenna mount on the back left corner (not sure if this is stock or not). Where can I get these things? I've checked eBay with no luck.
Thanks again for the help. /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif
