    88-94 5.7 Suburban A/C Diagnosis and Tuning

    Dinosaur relay appears to be working as intended for compressor staging. Wired it temporarily for testing, now to make it look nice. Local store out of 152 so it's on order to charge and then road test! Other than that, a nice fitting belt is in and the front system is up and running well...

    88-94 5.7 Suburban A/C Diagnosis and Tuning

    Thanks @1998_K1500_Sub I took that pic in the middle of assembly. It's all tightened down and no rubbing. Also screwed the Condensor hoses into the support bracket as well. @L31MaxExpress that's how it is set up currently, hopefully it isn't too heat soaked sitting in the middle. Need to...

    The Overhead Console Thread

    I think the 99-06 will fit but it may go in "upside down" relative to the GMT400 orientation. Shouldn't matter for the rockers. 5 should fit in there, above is a render of the panel and I put 2 rockers in there to make sure they wouldn't hit each other

    Looks tight. I can lay it out in cad and see. Shoot an email to [email protected] to get a ticket in so we don't lose it in the chaff!

    Furnace time delay relay for AC staging

    @1998_K1500_Sub Agreed - the furnace line was a bit of a joke. I will email the company and see if they are able to talk about my use case. I already have a ton of arduinos, logic level MOSFETs, etc to make it myself...but if theirs works, I'd prefer it!

    I created a thread with an interesting idea here regarding delay relays. https://www.gmt400.com/threads/furnace-time-delay-relay-for-ac-staging.67379/

    Furnace time delay relay for AC staging

    Anyone here know how furnaces are wired? It is truck related I promise. Long story short, I am running 2 AC compressors in my truck and I'd like a delay between the two compressors turning on. I don't want to load down the engine with two compressors switching at once. There's also a...

    88-94 5.7 Suburban A/C Diagnosis and Tuning

    I am hoping so too. Still, I have several of the control valves to vary the destroke point and also will be wiring in low side safety switches for redundancy. I am glad I added a reciever drier to the rear system in my earlier mods; that will make this conversion much easier! The immediate issue...

    88-94 5.7 Suburban A/C Diagnosis and Tuning

    GM V7 compressors, I used a 98-02 S10 2.2L as the search vehicle when parts buying. The flat front mounting pads are what are making this doable. There are also threaded holes on the rear of the compressor, which I may tie into to support the cantilevered load as @Schurkey commented on. I...

    Restored '92-94 180KMH / 110 MPH cluster

    Yes, I should have mentioned as I was nearly complete with sanding I did some wet sanding at the end to get finer results. The wax fills in little imperfections and adds a small amount of UV protection as well, although the lenses usually do not yellow in my experience. Start with the...

    Restored '92-94 180KMH / 110 MPH cluster

    Sure. I removed the lens from the housing and sanded the light blemish areas from 3000-7000 grit. Then I used plastic polish on a rotary polisher to brighten it up and finished with synthetic wax for protection. The instrument panel face plate pulls out of the rear housing. I fully...

    What type of rims are on your truck

    No they bolt right on my K1500.

    It'll need paint, SEM interior paints work best, you can search your color code on their website

    Reversion Raceworks 1999 C2500 Suburban "REVurban" Build Thread

    Pulled like 5# of copper out that's good scrap money. Luckily it all cleaned out with minimal damage to the factory harness

    1991 C1500 in Florida

    Yep that's me. We 3d print new covers. Used on FB Groups they are around 40$ but they're still 30 years old. Ours is around 70 but new plastic and reinforced tangs

    Reversion Raceworks 1999 C2500 Suburban "REVurban" Build Thread

    We've done a bunch of work to this rig already and I'm excited to add updates to the progress along with @reversion_raceworks! There's some YouTube stuff we've been posting with a little more behind the scenes action for your viewing pleasure. It was a challenge to get the team members to buy...

    Restored '92-94 180KMH / 110 MPH cluster

    Unpainted. They do fade to pale yellow but started a medium orange from what I can tell... I prefer the original bulbs instead of LEDs to allow for dimming and I just prefer the warmer look

    88-94 5.7 Suburban A/C Diagnosis and Tuning

    Follow up, mid 90s today and on the drive home was 38* front vents, rear vents about a degree or two colder. Lesson learned - there is no replacement for (compressor) displacement, regardless if sanden claims their enhanced compressor is up to the task.

    Restored '92-94 180KMH / 110 MPH cluster

    Wanted to share some images of my restored 180 kmh / 6k redline cluster for 92-94. They seem pretty rare. I cleaned and lubricated everything inside and changed out bulbs and it looks awesome! Function tested on my 93 and it was plug and play. Unfortunately, I live in the US so it will be a...

    Quad Beam Headlight Refresh

    Respect the insight! I grew up with those old cars and never was too bothered when they were maintained and aimed right. But now the roads are a battlefield of what manufacturer can make the biggest leds, and it can wash out my halogens sometimes.
