    GMT400 HVAC swap

    Similar to Valyidol's post, I didn't want to hijack his, I'm trying to fit a 96' HVAC system into my 86'. I had to hack my trans tunnel and remove my engine bay side of my 86' Crew Cab HVAC. The GMT400 system is almost all under the dash, electronically controlled, and a lot cheaper then a...

    Electronic speedo?

    I just swapped a 90-91' diesel dash with the electronic speedo. My 6 speed Eaton Fuller has a VSS on the output shaft so I figured I could get a signal from that. I hooked one of the one sensor wires to the gauge signal and the other to ground. Nothing on the gauge. If I tap the ground wire...

    Laying frame on a SFBD'd 22.5 C30?

    Diesel HVAC controls

    DO the Diesels run off of vacume like the gassers? I'm putting a cummins in my 86' C30 and wondering how to run the HVAC. I found a Diesel Burb in the yard this weekend and wondered if the controls were different in them? The cummins has a vac pump on it but if I don't need it for the HVAC I...
