    sas minimum lift

    I know this thread is old, but recently revived. Here's mine on 37's. SuperDuty 60 on 2003 SuperDuty springs. I did another 97 Burb using the Chevy 73_87 springs and it rode like a tank, but I think the weight if the Cummins might have had alot to do with that.

    Fitting an intercooler

    Yeah, on my first Suburban/5.9 swap that I did in 2011, I never did get ac back up and running. I just got this 2nd one on the road, and momma laid down the law...gotta have AC. What a pain in the arse getting the dual ac system together. It eats up a lot of real estate on the pass side of the...

    Fitting an intercooler

    The AW setup you're considering, is it a stand-alone system?....has its own radiator and circulation pump, or does it use the engine coolant system?

    Fitting an intercooler

    Hmmm...I don't know much about the air/water setups. I did recently see one on one of the 12valve forums from Facebook. Guy was doing a 12valve swap and was taking all the AW stuff off...he wasn't going to use it. I suspect his 12v might have come from a piece of heavy equipment.

    Fitting an intercooler

    I also started out with the mechanical fan in my first build, but ended up going to the electrics from Flexalite.

    Fitting an intercooler

    Well...lots of guys have used the 1st gen IC but it's quite small for what a P-pump is going to ask of it.

    Fitting an intercooler

    Hey, this swap is my second time around on a 97 Suburban. The Superduty 60 was a bigger job, and neither was the job that my son's 93 S10 was. Shoehorning a 5.9 Cummins with compound turbos in an s10 is a real job!

    Fitting an intercooler

    Two pics above show the cutout for the 2nd gen radiator. I did have a good pic of the core support with the grille off....but I can't find it. But yeah, the core vertical supports get cut out and then rebuilt.

    Fitting an intercooler

    My wiper washer tank came from a diesel pickup, maybe a 94 I think. In my first Suburban build I went 11 years with no windashiell washer as I had to lose the tank under the batt tray. I also no longer have antilock brakes. I did away with all that stuff when I swapped in the 1 ton Ford...

    Fitting an intercooler

    In the above pic you can see what I had to cut from the composite headlights adjusting mechanism. That's a left and right, sitting alongside an uncut assembly. I do still have the cut ones if you want them. Mounting those would show you where my IC locates. Now, I have heard guys say that they...

    Fitting an intercooler

    35.....yes, my whole engine/trans/tcase, rad, ic,....everything....came from a 1995 3500 dually. That being said, your 1 ton may have some differences....most notably in the frame. If you want to, give me a call at 812 989-6059.

    Fitting an intercooler

    That's not much to go on, but you can see where the core support was notched out for the radiator. You have to turn the hood latch 90 degrees, using one original bolt hole and drilling for the second. I can take pics of that for you. Bottom of the hood latch bracket that is behind the grille...

    Fitting an intercooler

    Hmm...I used 2nd gen Dodge radiator and Intercooler on my 97 Suburban/5.9 Cummins swap. Put a Dana 60 on leafs up front too. It's a pain with the composite headlights. I had them on my first swap and had to butcher the headlight adjuster mechanism. On this present Sub I swapped the composites...

    Interior lights wont turn off

    I have a 97 Suburban that the courtesy lights would come on and off at will. I found that "relay...or whatever it is" was the problem. In the dash fuse panel...driver side dash...there are 2 relay looking things. Left side of fuses, stacked vertically. I could gently wiggle the top one and the...

    Will this harmonic balancer need a repair sleeve?

    Your pic might be making it look more worn than what it is. Can you feel it with your fingernail? Personally, I'd SpeediSleeve it.

    Wiring A/C to work without PCM 98 7.4L K3500

    nws, my apologies for taking this long. Unexpected trip out of the U.S. I'll post these 2 schematics. 1 is original wiring tied into the ecm. 2nd is how I did mine. Since I have a Cummins engine, and am not using the original ac compressor, I used a binary switch in place of the GM high pressure...

    Prevent Rust on Solid Body Parts

    Northstar, I have yet to do it. I bought my Sub out if Az and have just now got it on the road. Took me a yr to get it to this point, did a Cummins swap along with 1 ton SAS. From my research if the product, it was developed by a guy in the Northeast and was used by highway depts. to...

    Prevent Rust on Solid Body Parts

    I've got a can of fluid film and applicator gun in my shop, that I just received...and I've got a 97 Suburban that has spent its whole life in AZ., but now resides here. Its as rust free as the trucks rolling off the assembly line at the plant where I work. Hoping to keep it that way with...

    Wiring A/C to work without PCM 98 7.4L K3500

    NWS649, I haven't forgotten you. I have most of the schematic drawn up, but couldn't remember a couple wire colors on the bottom side of the underhood relay/fuse center that I had to cut and splice. Just been busy and haven't had time to disconnect batteries to get to those wires to complete the...
