    6 Lug to 5 Lug Conversion

    Thank you for your input. Your comments are exactly what I was looking for. Unless someone out there has a compelling argument that sways me, you've convinced me to revert back to my original position.

    6 Lug to 5 Lug Conversion

    I'm sure this has been covered, but a quick search online yielded pages of 5 lug to 6 lug, not vise-versa. A quick search on this site didn't get a hit either. I'm parting a 2002 Escalade out and a guy on FB suggested I use the rear in my 86 C10 for the posi and disc brakes. I didn't originally...

    LS Swapped 86 C10 DBW issue

    You were close, but the pedal doesn't matter. As for the TB, I don't know for sure since that matched. I did resolve this yesterday when I discovered the issue on this post below from 15 years ago...

    LS Swapped 86 C10 DBW issue

    Thank you for responding. I've been waiting on the edge of my seat overnight on this since I really want to get this out of my garage today (actually my wife wants it). It's been taking space for 6 weeks now. My neighbor has a 2006 C10, so I think I'm going to hit him up to see if I can check...

    LS Swapped 86 C10 DBW issue

    I had bought and installed a Chinese standalone harness, so I figured I better be on the safe side and I spent 12 hours checking the PCM harness for shorts and opens. Found 6 wires that were in the wrong locations. Got them moved around and started up the truck. Started right up and after I got...

    A/C issues on 84 C10 with 5.3 LS

    1. Flushed out the evaporator and hoses. Removed the condenser and flushed out. 2. Changed the orifice tube to the .062" RED. 3. Replaced the accumulator and added 6.5oz of PAG 46. 4. Evacuated the system for about 5 hours. 5. Charged the system with almost 3 full 12oz. cans of R134. Pressures...

    A/C issues on 84 C10 with 5.3 LS

    Opened up the system this morning and collected all of the oil that I could. Got some drips on surfaces, floor etc. Removed the condenser, tipped it and blew it out, blew out the evap, dumped out the accumulator (stored it upside down for 2 hours and kept tipping it), and dumped the compressor...

    A/C issues on 84 C10 with 5.3 LS

    Based on what you guys are saying, I'm thinking it had oil added. Will separate system, blow out evap, empty out compressor, and drain out new accumulator. Thinking about adding a parallel flow condenser while I'm at it. Once system has been drained, how much should I put in? Full system is...

    A/C issues on 84 C10 with 5.3 LS

    Hey, thanks for the feedback! Definitely fixed, just like the OEM. Didn't know that the compressor might be pre-charged. No info came with it when I ordered it online. It's actually a knock off Sanden. Made an assumption that it had no oil in it besides assembly. Could it be that there is...

    A/C issues on 84 C10 with 5.3 LS

    I know, I know. A lot of info, but without it you won't know what I'm dealing with. Evacuated and charged the A/C system on my 84 C10 and I'm having issues that I've never experienced before on any vehicle. Of course, it's a kluge, so I should've expected to run into some problems. It cools...
