Hey man, do you have the part number for the sending unit you used?
What is the 4th tube on your sending unit? Fuel out, fuel in, vent hose... charcoal canister?
Did you end up usin that hose at all?

 

[Teck]

You will also want an 87 and up tank that have the baffles in it, if you don't have one.

Just picked up the rest of the parts I need to finish the AC.

Hope to have cold air by the end of the week. It was only 105 today. To hot to drive it without it.

 

[drew4x4]

what mount are you using for your AC compressor?

 

[y5mgisi]

Good luck man! You are just using the trucks existing system to control the ac right? Leaving the LS ECM out of the picture?

Went by today so Terry at TRM in Arlington could get all the pieces needed to make my AC hoses. Depending on my time I may have cold air by the end of the week.
