    Cooling fans failed

    Hey Adam, your interior work is awesome. I had some questions about this fan deal, but realized I lost your email address when I had a computer problem a few weeks back. Shoot me an email when you have time, so I can catch that address again. We were getting ready for a session at the...

    Cooling fans failed

    I’m going with the flex-a-lite 280. My A/C has always been ice cold, so the electric fans made no difference that I could sense. I went to electric fans, because the new water pump I was using spins the opposite direction from the stock pump, so I would have had to find a fan made to run...

    Cooling fans failed

    You are correct, they are alive and well, in Canada. Summit and Jegs are no longer carrying their “cool-pack” radiator kit. The perma-cool system I have, originally cost me close to $600.00. You can still buy it from their Canadian home office for $1,311.00. About a year after I had...

    Cooling fans failed

    It caused a heater hose to blow off, leaving a trail of antifreeze down the freeway for a ways. It happened close to home, so I was able to coast into the garage. A thirty amp fuse had blown and I suspect the relays may be damaged. The new setup will replace all the electrical, so it...

    Cooling fans failed

    My Perma-Cool electric fan’s took a dump. I lost track of the exact time, but I think they are about five or six years old. Looked for replacement motors and found a new Flex-a-lite system, is the same price as two motors for the old system. They also stopped making Perma Cool systems a...

    How to Recharge your Air Conditioning

    I have done both R-12 and R 134a. In both cases, I find that the air cons are cold enough at the lowest setting, that I find myself adding some heat to make it comfortable. :)

    How to Recharge your Air Conditioning

    When I switched over, I just ran the vacuum pump on the system, and loaded the R-414B, by weight. Each vehicle has a label as to the exact amount of freon required for that system. No other changes were done and I can’t tell the difference between the old freon versus the new. Between...

    How to Recharge your Air Conditioning

    I like using the 30 lb bottles. It’s a lot cheaper in the long run. When my R-12 bottle ran out, I got the new “Hot Shot” R-414B. It takes the place of R-12, R-134a, R-500 and 8 other versions of Freon. The thing to keep in mind about the various versions of Freon is that they all run...

    What Transmission???

    The problem with using stock TC’s is that they do not incorporate the “new technology”. They have been around for years and they are made for specific applications. Recent developments in design of the turbine and stator, allows higher stall speeds, while acting like stock TC’s for normal...

    What Transmission???

    Along with the other trans upgrades, add a higher stall speed T/C if you actually want it go have more "go". That is the only trans mod that can increase the torque multiplication...........:)

    Junking TBI

    You need to get a “pin out” diagram of the OEM ECM. You also need a schematic of the ECM for the new 383. Eliminate the connections not used with the stock ECM and share sensor signals for both ECM”s for things like TPS and MAP sensors or what ever the ECM’s use in common. I would...

    Junking TBI

    What brand ECM does it come with? You should be able to use your old ECM to control the 4L60e. Just need to share some sensor signals. I have done it before, it works fine.:)

    Who has a monster?

    Why do you think you need a “Monster” transmission? Unless you are over 400 hp, is kind of a waste of money. You can rebuild the one you have for less money and probably end up with a more reliable setup. If you are going to crank some big horsepower, than by all means consider the 4L80e...

    Did I pay too much?

    Ah, yea, now that you mention it, it was new at the time........

    Did I pay too much?

    If it will make you feel better, I paid something north of $25,000 for my 95 Tahoe. I don’t mind taking the heat for being the village idiot. It’s all a matter of what you personally think it’s worth. :)

    Help DOA!

    An old friend was a motion picture camera repair technician. They use hoppe's a lot on lenses and cameras fasteners. I don’t know what brands of thread lock, that hoppe’s #9 dissolves, but it has gotten me out of a few jams.

    Help DOA!

    Another thing to try is “Hoppe’s #9” on the threads. It will loosen some types of thread lock. For those not familiar with it, Hoppe’s is a gun powder solvent used in cleaning guns. You might already have some in your gun cleaning kit………….:)

    A/c clutch engauge disengauging

    The AC compressor’s function is to compress gas into liquid. There a high side connection and a low side connection. A/C gauges have both a high and low gauge to measure the pressure while running. The best way to be sure you have the exact amount of freon is to evacuate the system with a...

    A/c clutch engauge disengauging

    More than likely, the pressure switch is working. It is there to protect the AC compressor. If you wire around that switch, you will most certainly burn out the AC compressor. If you don’t want to go through the trouble of checking freon pressure. The cheap and easy thing to do is put...

    4L60E Behind a Mild 454 ?

    Steve, I have been using the TCI Transmission Control Unit, for quite a few years now, on both the Tahoe and Camaro. It makes controlling the trans a dream. You can set up shift points with the click of a mouse and also setup WOT shift points separate from normal driving. The Force...

    4L60E Behind a Mild 454 ?

    The original question here was how to make the trans stand up to the additional torque. The other half of that answer is what is the trans trying to move. Having experimented with many forms of the “built” 4l60e, I would make the suggestion that it depends on the weight of the vehicle. I...

    tranny prob

    So your code reader is able to do a re-set that corrects the problem until you use the auto start again. Perhaps a diode missing, or in backwards, from one of the connections to the auto start? The ECU will point to it’s malfunctions, with trouble codes, but it not likely to identify the...
