Im new here and have a little background for you. I have a 1995 k3500, been driving it for a couple of weeks. Paid about 1000 for it with the enduro trade and 650 cash. It didnt run but the guy said it would and then shut off, didnt run for about a year. It had a replaced pmd and cooler that was new but he said that wasnt it. I looked it over really good and saw that the lift pump looked original, and did my research for about a week on this great site! I figured that id need at least a new lift pump if not an ip, so we started it and it died before replacing any parts to make sure everything sounded good and it had good oil pressure.
Actually we just wanted to crank it but it went ahead and started on us anyway lol. Well i thought the pickup might be clogged so we lifted the bed and replaced that, wow you wouldnt believe what we found. The baffle was off its stands and the pickup was broken and also the float rod was bent! New lift pump and now nice new fuel comes out of the t fitting at front of engine. The only issue im having now is tonight when driving it home the temp gage rose from its normal 190 to 260 and the dash showed check gages........
Am i having an overheating problem, or is the gauge screwing up? Will the dash show over temp with a light as well as a gauge for temp? I dont want to screw her up! Please chime in and help me if you can, thanks alot.....chris
