    Parasitic draw

    I am not an electrical guru but can promise you from experience on a 79 Trans AM that, yes, it can. It would drain the battery in 12 hours and test AOK on the parts house machine.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I noticed my fan clutch has been hanging on and a slow warm up. I did some reading last night and found I needed a severe duty as that was the stock clutch versus the heavy duty I had. Hayden 215045 is the stock clutch for an 80 with AC. Also found that Murray 2797 is the cross and OReallys...

    Wiper switch/signal stalk

    I'd say the switch is the issue, but, if you are there the stalk makes sense, too. Mine is not set up like that but I recently bought a Standard stalk off Parts Geek, I believe, for my 99 Camaro . This has the cruise switch and was roughly 60 bux IIRC.

    1973-1980 K10 Front Tow Hooks

    As best as I know they were both - an option, and part of an equipment package. The 77 Silverado Suburban I had as well as Goldie had tow hooks. I do not see a separate tow hook code on my SPID label on Goldie so I assume it is part of the Sierra Classic trim.

    Whirling Sound While AC is Turned On, Matches Up With RPM

    Take the belt off the compressor - it is separate from the others - and lets find out together ! :cool: If the noise goes away , there ya go. Of course, no AC w/o a belt, but ... Well, I say that. Your 87 may have a serpentine belt. Then I would unplug the power plug at the compressor.

    Whirling Sound While AC is Turned On, Matches Up With RPM

    No timing belt on these engines- perhaps you meant timing chain but you would be hard pressed to hear a noise unless it was so loose it was slapping the timing cover. We had a similar situation with our 77 Suburban when it was newer ( 4 or 5 years old) and since it 100% matched engine revs I was...

    1970s Rally wheel center cap insert decal

    77 was some anniversary year and got the yellow band for the trim and one year colors for the rear caps. Even back in the day the parts people at the dealership did not know about them. No repops I know of, but maybe someone else here does.:cool:

    4 wheel drive indicator light switch

    I can tell you I bought mine in 2021 from https://www.ebay.com/usr/abssrsautomotive . It was P/N 265067046679. That P/N does not come up on Ebay anymore.:( The OE P/N was 14024304. Long ago discontinued. But, maybe those P/N's will help in your search. Speaking of, somewhere here someone...

    Suburban Interior Trim

    My 80 is bare like that and so was the 77. Goldie, the 80, is a Sierra Classic, and the 77 was a Silverado so I assume that they fancied them up later in life. Less plastic to fade for us. :anitoof:

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Yeah, but it has always since I have owned it blown colder while moving. I wonder if there is some restriction in the lines but really don't know. We just did an evac and recharge and the machine will only let you program a fixed amount. So, topping off after that would need to be with a...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Approx 95 degrees and 60 percent humidity. Charge was based on 80 percent of the 5.25 lb R12 charge called for by the sticker on the blower box. No real pressure fluctuations so the compressor seems OK and the tech did not think the orifice was clogged. So, ?

    What have you done to your square lately??

    LOL- whatever OE for 1980 was. :Big Laugh: I keep reading that parallel flow is the way to go but no idea how you would pick a replacement part number.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Compliments of a tech at my work, we evacuated and recharged the ac in Goldie. Crazy, but only pulled like 2.5 lbs out and put in 4.5 of the same R134. R12 sticker called for 5.25 lbs. Funny thing is that I can't tell it blows any colder ... :think: High side around 250, low around 70. I...

    1978-80 dash trim on a 1977 dash?

    I think the dash pad changed in 78. I think the trim piece is probably the same fit but brushed aluminum vs woodgrain. I wonder if LMC carries the one you need, though. :think: Worth a look.

    Brake booster pushrod firewall grommet

    My 80 had the yellow one but I had to modify it to fit the replacement booster. If you have the P/N for it that would be cool. If someone knows of a source for an anodized booster that would be cool, too ! :)
