Please help, my husband recently bought a 1988 Chevy 1500 4x4 automatic truck. It has a 350 engine 5 liter 8 cyl.
Bringing it home, it started backfiring and having problems shifting gears. The guy he bought it from said the tranny was newer. We have done a complete tune up, checked everything. When he went to back it up after working on it, it is now stuck in reverse and the gear shifter acts like it is not even there.
He heard about the vacuum hose problems and hopefully changed it, a piece of the hose that should have been attached to the tranny was missing. Hopefully this was the problem, but how does he know the hose is connected correctly? Why would the truck even start if it is in reverse????
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Proud owner of a 88 Chevy Cheyenne. 350 engine, 5 speed manual, and it is not the greatest looking truck out there, but it'll put a whopping on a 03 1500 Silverado.
Happy racing.
