Hey Gang.
I'm new here and excited for the advise. I have a 1985 Chevy C10 V8 305 long bed. I've had this truck for 10 years and my dad had it before me.
My latest drama with "Big Red" happened the other day. As I was driving home, my choke light came on and would not go off. No flicker or anything. Solid on. At the same time, the fuel gauge started to go down. In 5 miles, the fuel gauge went from 3/4 tank to under 1/2 tank of gas. As I was trying to get the next 10 miles home, I noticed that the temp gauge was going down slowly as well.
So, now my fuel gauge sits at under 1/2 tank, my choke light is still on and my temp gauge stays at "zip". I have changed the 5 amp gauge fuse with no help. I love wrenching this truck but hate, hate, hate anything that might be electrical.
As a final note, I have an electric fuel pump under the truck that I repaved over a year ago. I do not notice any leaking from the pump. Hoping this is electrical and I still have almost a full tank of gas.
Thanks for the help.
