    Wiper switch/signal stalk

    I agree the switch is bad but the stalk is cheap and might as well since the chrome is starting to lift and can’t see any of the markings.

    Wiper switch/signal stalk

    My wiper switch jammed in the column and can no longer activate the wipers. Before I buy a new switch and stalk (no writing left on it), is the LMC stuff any good? They’ve always been hit or miss with the stuff I get there, but their prices on these particular parts are about $125. Online...

    FM Radio Antenna Extension Cable?

    Trying to get my FM tuner working properly on my 91. The antenna base was busted, but I was able to extract the stud and install a new one with a new GM antenna. Problem is the other end is not connected and the original cable that ran through the firewall is cut off at the grommet. What type...

    ‘91 Suburban A/C Cooling Help

    Sounds like you got it pretty dialed. Mine is still working great, but I am fighting with the vacuum side now. I found a broken line where it passes through the firewall, but that repair made no difference. I think my selector valve is bad as I have good suction on the supply line going into...

    ‘87 454 R20 eye watering exhaust w/ windows down

    Just need to turn it out the sides then, that will help a lot. Does it have a rear spoiler behind the roof rack? That might make a difference to diffuse the air more, I don’t have one.

    ‘87 454 R20 eye watering exhaust w/ windows down

    Mine are behind rear wheels, no smell what so ever with only the side windows down. You will get a little blow back if the tailgate window is down due to station wagon effect, but only at slow speeds when the flow from the front vent windows isn’t strong. Is everything running OK? Not running...

    R12 to 134. Whats really needed to do this swap for a great working system. All parts needed?

    The parallel condenser was the missing piece on my Suburban, it kicks ass now. Pretty much sucked before once the temps got into the upper 80s/90s with 80% humidity of south Florida. I did do the Sanden compressor as well, but the R4 would’ve worked just as well I imagine with the new...

    Factory power steering cooler? 1991 Suburba

    That’s basically what I got but it’s a little shorter, I’ll take some pics once I get it repositioned to the grill opening. With the size of the trans cooler, it’ll probably have to go behind the pusher fan.

    Adding AC after ls swap

    These are 14” fans and run 16-20 amps each continuous per the builder after startup. I melted the fuse box with the 4-pin GM style relays originally, so now I’m running dedicated 40 amp circuits with 10 gauge wire being fed with a 6 gauge cable from a bus bar off the battery. Got all the juice...

    Adding AC after ls swap

    The Holley kit is basically the same, I just did not have the OEM compressor so I got the complete kit with the comp. One thing to note on the kit I got was I had to shim the whole bracket out one M12 grade 8 washer to align the belt and keep it from squeaking.

    Adding AC after ls swap

    I have my dual fans wired via relays controlled by the green wire, when the compressor kicks on they turn on. My fans are Fluid Dynamics extreme fans, so I have one relay per fan due to the high amp draw (they pull a ton of air), but they are in parallel so they both kick on at the same time...

    Factory power steering cooler? 1991 Suburba

    Looks like I’ll be trying it out in front of the radiator after all. I notice my 18 month old B & M super cooler is leaking from the bottom corner. Holley said to suck it, 12 month warranty and no discount code either to buy a new one. Done spending money with those clowns, they’ve gotten too...

    Factory power steering cooler? 1991 Suburba

    I recently added a double pass small cooler to my ‘91 as it was missing and the pump would scream when hot. Doesn’t seem to get much air flow down there as my temp gun shows about the same entry as exit temps on the pump. Anyone try mounting the cooler behind the grill like a trans cooler?

    85 suburban 454 exhaust setup

    I have a pair of 70 series exiting behind the rear tires on my Suburban, zero drone, nice tone, not annoying at all. Are you getting the Super 50s, or the big block 50 series? The big block mufflers are a nice mellow tone, but I would still run tail pipes, turn downs always drone and you run...

    1986 c30 Scottsdale single cab dually.

    What did you touch? Sounds like you inadvertently jumped power to the ignition. In my 91, ignition (switched) power is pink with a black tracer. If you find that circuit, check for continuity across the fuse to see if the fuse is blown. Wherever you were probing, you were in the vicinity.
