Its amazing how people don't take care of their stuff.
I bought this truck as a backup work/driver truck.
I knew it might need a little TLC but I had no idea how much !
I should have looked it over better but I was on my way to take the grandkids home and stopped on the way to look at it. I bought it and went back to get it the next day.
after realizing what all it needed I had two choices. Lose on it or fix it.
I'm too poor to loose on it so....
I brought this clean 94 GMC K1500 home a month or so ago.
And started working on it.
I dropped the trans and transfer case and replaced the leaking front seal in the transmission.
Then changed the transmission fluid and filter along with adding Lucas transmission conditioner.
Then I replaced the electronic ignition control module,changed the oil and filter,fixed the broken dip stick issue and adjusted the fan shroud so the fan isn't hitting it.
Then since the passenger side front wheel was way out of adjustment on top I loosened the upper control arm to adjust the wheel.
One of the bolts broke,so after adding a new bolt and cams I got the front wheel adjusted.
Then jacked the front end up and went thru and cleaned the front calipers all up to cure the sticking front brakes.
I replaced three tires. Two had broken belts,the third was worn out from the the leaning out passenger side front wheel.
Then I got back under it and fixed the wiring for the 4WD front axle actuator.
This truck drives very nice now. Smooth and quiet.
I still need to replace the driver side mirror and put in a missing thermostat.
It's a fairly low mile truck for a 94 with 142,000 miles and has been kept inside pretty much since new.
It even still had the window sticker in the glove box.
Now it's getting back into shape to seem like it.
