Now is the time to seriously consider buying a new or used truck. Prices are really low and dealers can't get rid of the gas burners. Calculate a payment you can afford. Most dealers will do most anything to get rid of their overflow inventory of trucks. Personally, I wouldn't waste money on an 89 unless I had to. Sooner or later something else will come up with a truck that age.

 

the truck has 148k miles on it, i have owned it since 138k miles, and the problem started around 140k miles, had it in the shop, they said nothing was wrong, but it still does it, and before i take it to the shop today I was wondering if anyone could let me know if there is something seriously wrong.

 

 

Ican predict whats going to happen, mine was doing the same thing for about a week then one day i was pulling out of my drive way heard a clunk and my rpms shot up. The tranny failed and i could only drive in reverse luckly i was under warranty, paid100 bucks for a new tranny i got lucky.
