About to ruin one of the nicest C3500's with an Ls.. Pictures
I got my transmission back finally. Unfortunately with what happened with the trans and being that now I'm stuck with a trans that was built by a place I have no confidence in, I lost motivation to work on the truck. I had to buy another hundred and fifty bucks in ATF, New lines and a new...- louu

Oh yeah, I thought it was something in the AC lines or something I didn't know about. Yeah I had to snap off a little nipple on the 6.0 intake and put the vacuum hose on there. It works like it did stock and switches through all the different vent. This truck has the hydro boost asis for the...- louu

I was able to use the stock brackets, just bought the oem ls style compressor. Yeah I have 2 spal fans being run by the pcm, I think they are set around 200 and 205. What are dampeners and where does the check valve go? The truck has all the original 1986 air conditioner stuff in there except...- louu

Man it hasn't been going good. I got it done and running about the end of May. It took a while to get it tuned because I used universal patcher to delete vats and rear o2's but if you ever use that program it locks up your pcm so no one can use hp tuners to do anything. I had to get another pcm...- louu

I just sat the intake and ugly cover on there to make sure I had Hood Clarence. I think I might paint the cover the blue like the truck to continue the black and blue under the hood- louu

I was also able to fit the stock AC compressor. One thing I'm having trouble figuring out is what suction and discharge hoses I need. I called some places around here to see if anybody can make me some but they don't think they can. Does anybody have any info on what I need to do? Or where to...- louu

I think it's a good progress hoping to have it running in a couple of days. I made my own engine mounts so I was able to use the stock drive shaft I just had to get a conversion joint. Here is the part number to go from the 2005 2500 to the 1986 C 3500- louu

The biggest this is have a positive attitude. It's going to be a ton of fun. Take your time, enjoy every minute of it and don't stress about anything. I took the train 12 hours south, drove mine back 650 miles and had a dam good time. I'd say as long as you don't have any major problems $500...- louu

Thanks it's a 4:10 rear gear. I'm not sure what converter but the trans shop is getting me a new one for the cam and towing. I gotta have a good sound though, almost went with the elchoppa. What did you do for an AC compressor? Any pictures?- louu

Thanks man, yeah it's been a dream of mine since I was about 13 years old back in the early 90s to have a 454 in a square with a big cam but I'm over it now. I'm on the fence about selling this engine and trans I'll make that decision after the new setup is finished. The only thing leaking on it...- louu
