AC Compressor Change - Accumulator/Orifice Tube Criticality
Thank you PeteJr! It's a fun vehicle to tinker with, despite the cussing/busted knuckles during tinkering haha! -
Say no to Cracks
FYI - if you have factory oil cooler lines, it really puts a bind/pressure on the lines if you don't modify the bottom edge of the main brace. I test fitted it a couple times and ended up notching the bottom to allow the lines to maintain their original position. I trimmed it and have about...- creich68

USA1 Industries
I’m fortunate in that I don’t live far from them. I went once because it was almost impossible to reach them by phone and I was driving right by their showroom. The showroom had quite a bit on display, and surprisingly there was staff inside and they had phones on their desk! Lol They were... -
AC Compressor Change - Accumulator/Orifice Tube Criticality
Doesn't appear to freeze so I'm leaning towards that it's operating correctly. It's a dual AC system with rear AC. Agreed, the desiccate bags are my main concern, especially being original. That's why I asked them to replace it when replacing the compressor. Good point on the orifice tube... -
Say no to Cracks
I recently purchased the ORD box brace as well. When I held the main brace up to see how everything lines up, it looks like the hoses for the oil cooler will interfere slightly on the bottom of the brace edge. The ORD installation instructions note this, but their website makes no mention of...- creich68

Steering rebuild question
I just replaced the drag links, tie rod ends, and both adjusting sleeves on my Suburban. My drag links/sleeve was 7/8" diameter and the tie rods/sleeves were 1" diameter. Keep in mind this was on a 91 Suburban 4WD so I'm not if that would apply to your K15. I spent countless hours researching...- creich68

AC Compressor Change - Accumulator/Orifice Tube Criticality
Hello All! New kid on the block, but not new to the 91 Suburban in the garage. I am the fortunate new-ish owner of the Suburban my parents bought new in 91. So many family trip memories that I had to keep it in the family. Being stored indoors it's whole life, it has been preserved well... -
R4 to Sanden whith stock ac lines(for serpantine)
Thank you! The 91 Burb I have was bought new in 91 by my parents, but over the last 1.5 years I've been trying to preserve it as much as I can. However, the NC summers have pushed me to consider deviating from original when it comes to AC. The Sanden route is very appealing for creature... -
R4 to Sanden whith stock ac lines(for serpantine)
Thank you both. That's much more inexpensive than some of the Vintage Air mounts I was combing through (although those were more geared towards a LS crate engine). I wish I had a way to cut/fabricate the mounts with the drawings, but unfortunately don't have the tools to do so. One follow up... -
R4 to Sanden whith stock ac lines(for serpantine)
I've been researching various threads on here and digesting this one in particular as I'm debating replacing my original Harrison, but leaking (out the back, not front shaft strangely), R4 compressor with a new AC Delco R4...OR biting the bullet and converting to the Sanden unit mentioned at the...
