Well, the first thing that happened, one week after purchase was the electronic system. The battery cables, alternator and battery went out. Two weeks ago the radiator went out. I am on my second engine, and third carburator, and fourth distributor cap.
When I purchased this truck it had been lowered but no other modifications had been made. The only reason it is fun to drive now is that I have installed a 300 horsepower motor in it. Who ever the engineers at GM were that thought it was a good idea to put a 16 gallon gas tank on a full size truck, well...
Exactly! The water pump needs replacement constantly. The trany needs rebuilding every 50k-80k. Needs lots of other things from time-to-time. Money pit indeed!
