    Tune, resistors and tcc

    Dex/merc fluid unless you want to rebuild your trans in 6 months to a year. Dex vi fluid is not fully compatible with older seals. It is a thinner synthetic fluid that GM came out with to try and eek out a tad more mpg's, and being a synthetic base stock with no additives to reach the desired...

    TDC Offset?

    Desired and actual timing is generally checked while doing a timeset, and time set is only required on OBD1, obd2 can go straight to a tdc offset relearn(but doing a timeset can come in handy when trying to dial in your tdc offset to see how close you are to hitting the magic 3.5 degrees).

    TDC Offset?

    Not always true. I just set red97's for him. It was at -.88 with his old pump, it went to -2.46 and set a resistor error when he installed his new pump WITHOUT telling it to do a relearn. So they CAN relearn on there own(seen it with my own eyes).

    AC questions and opinions

    A trinary switch does 3 things, it provides low pressure shut down(opens around 40 psi), it also provides high pressure shutdown (opens around 425-450), and they also provide an output to control electric fans(generally come on around 225-250). 2 wires are for the compressor control and the...

    Bolt in, no. They use completely different line connections.

    AC questions and opinions

    My 95 Suburban had the serpentine style that used the flat capillary set-up. I know later years went to a parallel flow design as my 99 Tahoe had one in it. And for the most part, sub's and pickups got the same condensers. GM came to there senses for the gmt800's and put in a bigger condenser...

    Torque converter for transmission

    The short answer is no. 98+ is a woven carbon torque converter clutch that is never meant to fully lockup. 95 is 1st gen pwm lockup, but uses a regular lockup clutch material that is meant for full lockup only. And depending on what the 2000 came out of, it could be a 298mm or 300mm tcc in a...

    94 chevy silverado 4l80e interchangeably any others years ???

    94 is a 1 year only. That said, if you swap your shift shaft, a 95-96 will directly swap in. 95-96 is the same trans, but they use a longer shift shaft meant for a shift cable connection instead of the mechanical linkage connection and have a nsbu switch to operate the cluster gear display...

    Steering Gear Identification, What's best for our Rigs, Can one be reliably be rebuilt.

    The gmt800 half ton steering box can be adapted to the gmt400 trucks. RA at one time was selling some of them.

    Steering Gear Identification, What's best for our Rigs, Can one be reliably be rebuilt.

    The majority of box slack that I have found is on the input bearing carrier adjustment. It is very critical to get adjusted and must be within an 1/8" of a turn to get the slack out. 5&6 lug trucks got the 83, 8 lug trucks should have the 84. You can replace the bearings(if you can get the right...

    AC questions and opinions

    None of them use expansion valves, even new trucks use orifice tubes. Look for a parallel flow condenser for a 95(only 95 has the switch port on the condenser). Last I looked they were on backorder though. EDIT: just checked RA and they have them back in stock. I have one of these in my 99...

    AC questions and opinions

    I don't like those repair kits and the stock 95 condenser was a serpentine capillary ribbon design that was crap for r134 to begin with. I would install a high pressure cutout switch at the condenser and install the purple compressor mounted switch to trigger your evc. 325 psi on and 225 off is...

    HELP

    Did you verify the number of teeth on the ring & pinion? 4.10 to 4.09 is a negligible change and shouldn't require any changes, but it sounds like you got a different ratio installed in it.

    6L80 Transmission.

    You need to get a high end scanner on it like the GM MDI and associated software. You need to check the adapt values, shift times, and I'm not sure sure if it will show clutch volume or not. I'm not well versed on the newer clutch to clutch transmissions, but you have to have the right tools AND...

    A/C part for easing clutch engagement

    It ONLY works for the 1st 45 seconds, after that it goes back to normal operation for regular cycling.

    AC questions and opinions

    The repair kit is in there because the condenser threads are aluminum and ALWAYS seize to the steel fitting on the line. The switch on the condenser is there to put the AC on inside air mode when the high side pressure reaches 325, and it reopens around 225-250. This is the switch that GM used...

    Which antifreeze

    It's silicates that you should avoid with diesels. Silicates are sand and other debris that present in most all green anti-freezes. Diesel engines have such high compression that anything in the coolant acts like a sand blaster from the shock wave that is emitted off the cylinder wall that it...
