Just got old switch out. & swapped it into the new compressor. I replaced evap, heater core, compressor, condenser (got the slightly bigger Suburban dual air one), & new lines. As I've got the entire front sheetmetal off for another project, I kind of wish now that I'd tried to find the '96+...

I'm replacing an R4 on my '95. The old compressor has a switch on the top rear, where the replacement compressor just has a blank plug. Is this a high side cut off switch? Do I need to swap the switch over to the new compressor? I'm wondering if it's a high side cut-off, if it's redundant...

I found them while searching ebay, but went to the site & logo is identical, so believe www.justchevytrucks.com is the same place.

I can confirm the GMT800 Delphi 800 series, (#64 casting) has the same 3 bolt to frame mounting pattern as my 8600# '95's original steering box (#84 casting). Newer box needed the 3 grooves in splines pitman arm as compared to the 4 groove pitman arm on original box. The spool/barrel valve out...

I would interpret the RedHead 680 ad that says the new box only fits 1999-2010 to mean that the 680 box on the newer GM 2500/3500HD trucks has the same bolt pattern to the frame as the earlier Saginaw/Delphi 800 series steering gear boxes. Here is a pic of the GMT400 splined input shaft...

Meaning out of stock from Borgeson?

Here's a link to one of the best articles I've found on steering boxes. Toward the end, there's an image showing how the various ratio's are achieved & showing rack piston's with constant ratio & variable ratio teeth. Looking at the variable teeth profile, it makes sense that design wouldn't...

I'll bet the Cherokee I pulled this shaft (that didn't work) from was '95+. The flat on our GMT400 truck's rag-joint coupler (to steering box) is 90 degrees rotated from the flat sides of the upper shaft. So when hunting the salvage yards, the Cherokee shaft for this project needs to have...

Parted & prepped the Jeep shaft I pulled last summer with this project in mind. Then when mocking up for the extra length needed to fit my 3" body lift, I notice the clocking of D shape coupler (to steering box input shaft) puts the flats of the steering shaft 90 degrees off from my '95 truck's...

That vintage Cherokee also has a conveniently rectangular shaped underhood fuse/relay box I wish I'd known to scavenge while harvesting the steering shaft. This fuse/relay box 7 common automotive size/configuration relays/fuses & can be a clean way to add circuits that should be powered through...

Yep, same with several rag joints I got from Pick-N-Pull sourced steering boxes to part & learn from. Rubber material was in OK shape, but lots of play in the riveted joints. I'm using the remainder from that joint to weld an old 1/4" drive socket to - to adapt to an inexpensive 1/4" drive...

Bummer Les, but agree that's a good life for what these trucks cost new.

Very nice! I've got the Cherokee shaft setting on the bench waiting to do this very thing. I wonder how much more road vibration it will actually transmit; guessing if we're doing this mod, it will be a good compromise. Guessing the heavy portion on the Cherokee shaft's upper joint was some...

I'm near finishing the swap to GMT800 K2500HD brakes (GMT800 calipers/rotors frnt & rear, adapted hydroboost from '04, new '04 mastercylinder & the adaptor to fit our GMT400 brake lines, etc., etc. Thought I'd add a link to my thread for easy cross reference. Last post in thread shows a DIY...

Yep, good to evaluate wiring loom as the ends by exh manifold live in a harsh environment.

Tank style heaters can often be faster heating (compared to freeze plug block heater) when the plumbing circuit has a fair bit of vertical height difference, so convection can effectively drive directed water circulation. Keeps bringing fresh, cold water past heat element, so heater isn't being...

x2 on LED's & the 3K color selection if you can find what fits the need at a cost that makes sense. I just swapped MR16 halogens to Feit Electric 3000K 8 Wt 500 lumen output. They're a pleasant (not too harsh) white, fiancé likes, & they don't show any pulsing used with the common household...

I did a heavier charge wire quite a while ago, anticipating I'd upgrade to the CS-144. I'm finishing up these brackets & installed the better alternator now as I've had the front end/rad/core support out for DMax IC project. Doing a number of things I've been planning (& squirreling away the...

The AD244 is the updated, newer version large frame alternator - so 144 updated to newer model 244. The number refers to rotor size, for example cs-130/cs-130d = 130 rotor, cs-144/AD244 = 144 rotor. The AD's have the new, more rounded cover with internal fan. The AD-244 mounts entirely by 2 -...

Here's a pic of the intake air heater Ford used on the 7.3's,& a Cummin's 5.9 oil pan plug to fashion a block off plug so the heater & the restriction it'd cause could be removed for the majority of the year. I just spoke with the guy that gave it to me who has several modified Ford diesel...
