Bluetooth alternatives
Retrosound in both my squarebody and the Elcamino. Plug and play! Crutchfield comes with harness adapter, no cutting, no splicing. Im using and happy with the original speakers and later added a underseat subwoofer. Box up your original unit and tuck it away- Finkaire

Bluetooth alternatives
The FM transmitter works perfectly. I have a little Bose speaker that sounds terrific. It has a strap, it’s waterproof and I absolutely love it! It appears to be on sale at an incredible price- Finkaire

Paint search
I think that going as close to original is the best ticket. My truck was a peeler and also had no luster, almost a navy ship grey. Without having to paint the bed and the jams I ended up with a Mercedes color, real close. The color has a fine metallic and since it is a stock color will not be...- Finkaire

Replaced ac evaporator now pressures are off
Pressure = temperature. Feel on both side of the orifice. One side cold, one side hot, low and high pressure. AC 101: does not get cold, takes heat away. You need air going through the condenser, make sure there is no restriction, the fan is working and there is a shroud -
Replaced ac evaporator now pressures are off
Black death! You cannot flush a compressor or the accumulator. You can drain and refill, and yes. -
AC LOW SWITCH
The low switch is the cycling switch on the accumulator near the firewall. It is a 2 prong plug that can be inserted either way- Finkaire

NO BRAKE PRESSURE AFTER ALMOST FULL SYSTEM REPLACEMENT!!
Brake line hoses, maybe? Not exactly the same problem but it fixed mine. -
Replaced ac evaporator now pressures are off
Leaks are easy, seepage is another story. Seepage will show up as an oily spot. You don’t need dye unless you want to distinguish one oily spot from the AC to another. Look closely, inspect both sides of the condenser, all the lines, look up on the underside of the hood for spray coming from the... -
Replaced ac evaporator now pressures are off
The pressure differential is at the orifice tube. One side from the condenser hot and the towards the evaporator cold. Low pressure, high pressure. Cold and hot. It sounds like either the orifice tube was left out or you have a bad pump. You mentioned a Sanden pump which normally would be found... -
K10 Evaporator Box
In the old days, haha. We would grind off some of the non-essential plastic and mix it with acetone to create our own glue that matched perfectly- Finkaire

What size tires are those, they seem to fill the wheel wells pretty good. There is also a drop, am I right? -

Headers? worth the effort & cost?
Unless you plan on going racing the OE cast iron exhaust manifold is quiet, doesn’t leak and you don’t need to end wrench your spark plugs. IMHO- Finkaire

Need real-world exhaust advise
I agree with the resonators, I have three chamber Flowmasters. When I got them they were too loud, getting old I guess. Shop recommended in addition to the Flowmasters adding resonators and guaranteed I would be happy. The resonators they put on are what I believe and look like Glasspacks. That...- Finkaire

Fix this Paint? Any ideas that I do not have to repaint the whole Suburban?
Yup, mine was a peeler as well. Remove as much as you are comfortable with. Bumpers, mirrors, grill, door handles, moldings, have the glass removed and take to a place like Miracle. Somewhere where they just do completes, they typically do a pretty good job in that is all they do. It’s a great...- Finkaire
