Chevy Truck Problems

Hi!

I am having some problems with 2 of our trucks and have run out of ideas of what the problems are and what to do so I was hoping that someone out there might shed some light on the situation....Also we cannot afford to sell and replace the vehicles as money is tight right now and these are paid for.....so any help is appreciated.

1st truck: 1980 Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4
Its problem is that you can start it up just fine and go around 5 to 10 mile then the engine starts to hesitate then die. You have to wait about 45 minutes then prime the carburator to restart then it will run another 5 to 10 miles and does it again We have put a new electric fuel pump,new fuel lines, and filter. Please help!


2nd truck: 1984 Chevy C3500 1 ton dually
This truck likes to eat starters we have replaced the flywheel twice and the starter 6 times! We have tried shims,no shims,different starters,heavy duty starters etc. We have double and triple checked the flywheel and starters to be sure they were the correct one for this truck. The engine has been replaced, new alternator,new battery,spark plugs and wires etc.

We are at wits end! If you have any ideas as to what is wrong with either of these trucks please let me know! Thanks!

Replace the person who is driving it !

sounds like they are leaving the engine running while leaving the truck,
then comming back and hitting the Starter while it is still already
running 1984 truck
