Known issues on the 1985 K10. The certification label on the left front door is the subject of this truck's single recall: it may have been produced without the rim information the federal tire and rim selection standard requires, leaving that reference data missing from the vehicle itself. Two owner complaints appear, both on the fuel system. Wheel and tire specifications appear in the chassis material, and fuel tank, line and delivery service is covered with its own procedures, specifications and torque values.
