    700R4 Gear “Hunting”

    I edited my post. The wire I am thinking of is actually on the gage/idle fuse. It might be purple down by tthe transmission, running on the driver side. I know because mine rubbed through from touching the transmission and I had an issue with my gage fuse popping. Here is a link to my thread on...

    700R4 Gear “Hunting”

    There is a TCC wire that is also on the gage/idle fuse. Runs along the driver side of the trans. I had a rub through that blew the fuse. Might be it is rubbed through enough to cause issues but not blow the fuse yet? Edited to correct fuse circuit

    Air Conditioning Advice Needed

    Sounds like maybe the compressor is locked up and when the clutch engages it bogs down the engine?

    Sanden AC compressor for Suburban with front and rear air

    Dryer and orifice tube for sure. The compressor I linked above works with stock hoses. Condenser is your call, really. Make sure the fan shroud is tight to the radiator to maximize fan performance at idle and low speed. Flush the system good. Pull the rear TXV to make sure it isn’t plugged up...

    Sanden AC compressor for Suburban with front and rear air

    this is what I am running in my dual air 1990. with a good fitting shroud, good clutch fan and a small pusher I run with AC on attached to my trans cooler i have no complaints at all. been running it for 4 or 5 years now. if the truck has been sitting in the sun it takes a while to overcome the...

    Temperature hunting at stop lights

    Does the shroud sit up nice and tight to the radiator? The shroud needs to be up against the radiator for the fan to pull the air through. Is 180 the right thermostat? My 1990 350tbi runs a 195. Maybe 454 is different? Also, the gauge isn’t always super accurate….you might be just fine at just...

    Help finding the DRAC 1990 V1500 Suburban

    Is that a 1990 cluster? Never had my 1990 cluster fully out, so not sure what the backside looks like. My DRAC I have had out and it is under the dash and doesn’t look like that box on the back of the cluster.

    Help finding the DRAC 1990 V1500 Suburban

    DRAC is under the dash below the radio. If you remove the crossover duct it will be visible. It sets on the backside of the metal dash. You can reach back and find it with the duct in place once you know exactly where it is.

    timing issue

    timing is set to 0 with the bypass unplugged. Do not plug in the bypass with the motor running. If it was running fine before, I’d double check whatever you touched.

    1987 V10 305 TBI - Good until it just falls on its face.

    I’d look very closely at the plug wires, distributor cap, and rotor. Could be stray voltage if the ICM is ok. Wires with cracked insulation, cracked cap, bad cap terminals, loose rotor under the cap, etc can all send stray voltage that will zap ICM wires and kill the engine like an ignition problem.

    700R4 Gear “Hunting”

    solenoid is accessible with a pan drop. but if it doesn't hunt in D, it probably isnt the TCC lockup unless yours has been modified to not lockup in 3rd. then it could still be the solenoid if it has been changed to not lock in 3rd.

    1987 GMC V1500 TBI crank but no start

    If you get the fuel pump sorted, you might verify timing is right with rotor pointing at no 1 TDC and the wire firing order.

    700R4 Gear “Hunting”

    Are you sure it is the 3/4 shift bouncing or is it the TCC hunting? Could be an issue with the TCC lockup solenoid? Does the issue go away if you keep it in D?
