Thanks for the input. I already ordered a lift pump last week from ssdiesel. I do have pressure out the test valve, but the fuel pump is 5 years old and is ready to fail.

I cranked it up and let the key go quickly and the solenoid/starter did not stick. It immediately disengaged.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8L_696f4Ctk&feature=youtu.beideo Youtube video link above for startup. You can hear the high pitch sound right after it starts and then quickliy goes away. Don't remember hearing that from the previous starter.

I'll post a youtube video tonight so you guys can hear it too.

It's a quick wind up - wind down noise. I did not notice any difference with shims, but the booklet that came with the starter said shims might be required =(

Do you think this means the clearance between the flywheel and ring gear is still too close? I have more shims if needed.

First off, the starter to R&R was a complete PIA. I have a 96 chevy pickup 5.7 vortec too and the starter R&R was like 30 minutes. I spent nearly 5 hours R&R the starter w/ the special sizes and adapters to get into the front support bracket. Swearing at the engineer who designed it like...

Thought I would let you guys know the AC is successfully working now. We had to add another 12 ounces. Low side 43 high side 240 at 90 degrees outside. Thanks to all that helped with this fiasco. Would probably not have been successful without the input on here. Vent temps front and rear...

Wow, those are some serious high side pressures. No wonder my mechanic undercharged it. I guess the normal truck would take 2 pounds and do 30/175. I had an extra 10 ounce can of freon from an old leaky honda civic. I started at 30L/175H and ended up at 30-35L/225H after I hooked up the...

You may be right on the condenser. It does have round tubes on the end, and it's made differently than the original one. Napa said this was the right part. It fit into the same spot perfectly; but the original Harrison unit was thicker. The part from Napa was a OSC 4544; which shows up on...

That's a very good question on the condenser. The condenser I replaced was the same width and fit the same dimensions; the factory harrison condenser seemed a bit thicker. I asked for the condenser from Napa for a suburban and had them look it up w/ rear air. I would assume they did it...

I'll have to try that. What should the pressure be for the system at idle (700 rpm) and at 2000 RPM? It sounds like I should really make sure the rear expansion valve is getting enough contact w/ the factory clip. Posting a youtube video here. http://youtu.be/_vWwm3o7SR0 Once i've...

I have a complete AC rebuild in a 96 6.5L diesel suburban. Mechanic is stumped (He is reputable), and I'm $1000 down the hole so far with the wife still without the rig that has air. Not good for the marriage either =) of course, it was my idea to buy the beast so we could tow. History 2...
