    Question about 1990 Suburban & emissions

    Colorado is now following the same California catalytic converter standards (only CARB certified cats) so be aware of that because you can no longer purchase federal converters in state. The price difference is significant: $300 for a good Magnaflow regular federal emissions cat and $1200 for a...

    New - Reproduction OEM Floor mats

    Any pics? I'd like to see how off the color is and if I could live with it. I also have the tan interior, but if the color is just wrong then I might get the black.

    Q-Logic Speaker Pods (Free) - Palo Alto, CA

    Forgot about this post... Sorry to those who messaged me, I will get back to you in case you don't see this update. I checked the post office and it doesn't fit in the standard flat rate boxes, so ideally looking for local pick up. I can try to find a larger box if someone really really wants...

    Q-Logic Speaker Pods (Free) - Palo Alto, CA

    After a few years of use, I’ve decided to part ways with these guys. I just don’t like the look, and I’m redoing my stereo system anyway and going a different direction. See link below for more info. ***Especially only for 78-87 (91) Q-Logic Enclosures Looking back, I can’t believe...

    Safe load for suburban stock rack

    I have not, I've been getting around with a roof-top box (thule-type deal) mounted to the factory rails. I'm still on the lookout, but haven't really needed it, or just made do without.

    AC compressor does line up; new compressor

    Polarity does not matter. Clocking does not matter either as long as the cable routing doesn't interfere with anything.

    AC compressor does line up; new compressor

    Our trucks with the original R12 system used a different style port to interface with the manifold gauges. When retrofitted, adapters are used so that the R134-specific connectors on these gauges can be used. So your new accumulator (like your old one) should have the old-style R12 fitting on...

    AC compressor does line up; new compressor

    I guess you could, but I wouldn't want to risk it. Plus, the orifice tube is cheap, so you might as well do that while you have the system open. The only heads up for the orifice tube is that sometimes they can get stuck in the evaporator inlet tube, but it's easy to check if you can remove it...

    AC compressor does line up; new compressor

    I went through two actually, the first one was a dud, and did not work straight out of the box. That was a Four Seasons R4 unit. It fit properly, the belt and terminal clocking (12 oclock) lined up perfectly, but was not pumping. I ended up wasting refrigerant since I had to evacuate again and...

    AC compressor does line up; new compressor

    I have since replaced the compressor, and now it lines up perfectly. Amazing how having the correct part works... So not sure I can help with a mismatched part or parts. Although mine ran for quite a while like that before I replaced everything, so it can be done.
