Its been a while but I ended up buying a trinary switch and a ac hose crimper. I found a wire under the dash that comes on when the ac button is pushed and the blower is on. I ran that to the trinary switch and then to the ac compressor and the...
Sounds like a tight fit. Any swapped vehicle is only as good as it's installer. A 5.7 V8 and proper automatic should be nice off road, assuming it's put together properly
How rough is the 5500 dollar 80 series?
I think I mentioned I did have problems with pressures spiking as the daytime temps approached mid 90s. Even with the 4 runner factory condenser which has an additional condenser sitting in front of the main one, an upgrade from the pickups...
I'm no expert but the 17.99 jegs or summit trinary switch as a present low and high pressure sensor. I think low is approximately 20-25psi. The AC freezes when the charge or pressure gets too low.
The factory yota compressor is a fixed...
I should also note the TDI is a sophisticated throttle by wire engine. There's not a need to raise idle while AC is on, the ECU senses the load and adds fuel to maintain the set idle speed. The only time a TDI has a higher idle is cold start...
Knock on wood I've never had icing up issues. With original condenser I did have over pressure issues when temps were above 80.
I upgraded to an aftermarket condenser with much more cooling surface and those issues went away. At the same time I...
I spent a good deal of time reading threads of how guys with old muscle cars (expansion valve AC) got the AC working after installing and LS engine (orifice tube). It's a similar concept. I'm sure there are ways one could incorporate the...
If the second gen is like the 1st there's an amplifier system that I didn't want to figure out. The 1st Gen is an expansion valve system and our TDI compressors are built for an orifice tube system so I'm not sure the amplifier system would work...
I ran two fused relays from my AC push button (only hot when key on). I disconnected it from the original truck wiring and ran it to another fused link in the driver's fuse box that was hot with key on. It feeds power excite of the relay so...
A majority of our local "non" ethanol stations still test positive for ethanol. Even non ethanol fuel has a shelf life of 30-45 days, same as 10% ethanol,;because there are no stabilizers in the fuel anymore
Add stabilizer at every fuel fill...
That depends. It doesn't "bolt in" if you have the later 3.4 sourced transmission due to it being longer. Hopefully OP will respond back with the length of the input shaft. I have two 3.0 sourced transmissions torn down in the shop I can...
