All,
I just bought a 1990 Chevy k1500 Silverado, 5.7L TBI. I bought it as a beater, trips to Home Depot, the dump, stuff like that when the trunk of my car just ain't quite big enough. What I'm looking for is a website with just general information on it. It came with the manuals but they really didn't go into some of the specifics (like horsepower, towing capacity, stuff like that). Also, I bought the Haynes manual (is there a better one out there?) for any DIY stuff that comes along, but a website that has a bit more extensive repair section would be great.
Next, a stupid question. Is saying "K1500 Silverado" redundant? I know the K1500 describes several models, but is the Silverado only available as a K1500?
Finally (for now at least), I'm looking for a few success/horror/opinion type stories. The truck has 186,000 miles on it. I bought it as a beater, expecting to put a couple thousand miles a year on it. The more I thought about it though, the more it occured to me that I could use it as a daily driver, while restoring my car (91 Audi 200TQ, 149,000 miles). The last thing I would want though, is to own 2 vehicles, and have neither work if the truck goes down. I know that none of you know the condition of the truck, but, at 186,000 miles, am I allready on borrowed time with it? Should I just be happy when it makes it to Home Depot and back (around 4 mile round trip)?
TIA for your advice and help Bill
