Sounds like turn signal switch but check fuses first

Often that is a sign of a bad connection between the battery and the starter, or a ground. You might try using a jumper to the starter post to verify the problem.

Take off the negative battery cable for 10 minutes. While waiting for that make sure you have all the ground straps connected that go to the battery cable end and to the engine.

When you replaced the battery there is every chance that you have corrupted the CPU program. Use a code reader to reset the CPU and see if that fixes the problem

FIRST CHECK TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL.IF FLUID LEVEL IS GOOD. YOUR PROBLEM COULD BE THROTTLE CABLE IS BINDING OR OUT OF ADJUSTMENT.YOUR GOVERNOR IS DAMAGE OR MISSING PARTS.YOUR OIL PUMP PRESSURE REGULATOR VALVE OR TV BOOST VALVE STUCK OR DAMAGE NOW .IN THE VALVE BODY.STICKING LINE BIAS VALVE TV LIMIT VALVE MODULATED TV UPSHIFT OR DOWNSHIFT VALVES.OR A STICKING THROTTLE VALVE PLUNGER.STICKING OR STUCK 1 -2 2 -3 3 -4 THROTTLE VALVES OR PRESSURE REGULATOR VALVE.THE SPACER PLATE GASKETS DAMAGE.ALSO THE 2 -4 SERVO ASSEMBLY ACCUMULATOR DAMAGED.THE 2 - 4 BAND BURNED OR ANCHOR PIN NOT ENGAGED.

If its a gas engine its controlled by the engine computer.

I sounds like your power steering pump may be going out or low on fluid.

Sounds very much like a clutch problem

check ignition timing and firing order of the HT leads . There may be moisture in the distributor ignition pack

Blend door not working.

go to a wreckers that specialises in chevy and you should get one.

in-line fuselink

average should be about 300-500 bucks. (including the part)

slave cylinder is my first suspect.

everything you need below. NOTE: Rocker arms arent under torque. You can google the process to adjust them, but just enough to take the slap out.... too tight and the valves will go stupid. file:///C:/Users/owner/Desktop/Small%20Block%20Chevrolet%20V8%20Engine%20Specs%20%20%20Torque%20Specs%20-%20Cylinder%20Numbering%20-%20Firing%20Order%20-%20Distributor%20Rotation%20-%20SB%20Chevy%20267%20305%20327%20350%20400%20Cid.htm

year of truck?Does gauge jump around or just drop fast after 1/2 tank?

um..... start it up again....or did you have a question?I'm not trying to be rude, or funny, but you just made a statement and didn't ask a question, nor did you say what may have gone on when trying to start it again.

check for air, fuel and spark.

put the rotor on the dist and gently turn it while very slowly lowering the dist back in. You need to make EXTRA sure you don't drop that pump shaft into the block. I trust you have the engine cylinder #1 at TDC and are ready to slap it back together, but if you have more questions on that, let me know.

mine was both a bad wiper switch and wiper motor. when my dash lights acted up, a new HL switch sorted me out fine.
