I have been turning wrenches since the 60's, starting with my older brother in law and his H/Gas at the Salt flats in Utah. Since then there have been a lot of street rods and imports that have been built in the driveway and in various small shops and all were pre-computer controlled (with the exception of new production cars I have owned, none of which I ever had electronic issues with). Well, that has all changed recently. Having just picked up a 89 K1500 4X4 truck, originally equipped with a V6 then threw in a 5.0 V8, prior to my buying it, now swapped a rebuilt 5.7 V8 and having a few nagging issues. The folks here seemed like a good community to get to know, so, here I am.

I also have 1988-89 Service manuals/unit repair manuals that I have acquired for the rig from which I am happy to share.

Thanks for being here.
