Re: My 78 K15 High Sierra build - Fish Tremble

Well, I've been driving this truck as my daily for a month now. It has been doing well, no new surprises that are too much of a concern. I think my reman power steering pump may have a leak, and it seems like fuel is draining out of the carb and fuel line when the truck sits. Have to start it a couple times before it stays running with plenty of pumping each time, but once warmed up a bit it has not died on me.

I did replace my shocks this weekend with Bilstein 5100's. They seem to have improved my ride a little, but not enough really to justify the cost and effort. The sway bar disconnect/adjustment brackets made a more noticeable difference, but every little bit helps. Overall, pretty dang happy with this truck!
