Nice

I don’t know how Partsouq does it. OEM parts from Dubai to my front door in Amazon Prime levels of fast.

Spring was broken and rubber was completely rotted in my heater valve

 

[BurntToast]

Plan on running the trans cooler lines here. Should be ok with some thermal wrap. Side not Summit AN fittings suck, Aeroquip is now my goto

Not exactly sure on exhaust routing yet since I’ve seen @cruisermatt cross over before the oil pan. The front driveshaft area doesn’t have a ton of space.

 

[BurntToast]

Also another donor oddity. Looks like the AC compressor is different. Don’t think Mosley hoses work here. Any ideas on fitting adapters?

Looks like perhaps one of these

Started the wiring work. Think I’m going to have to pull the dash.

99% sure the inboard harness has nothing in it I need to keep… pulled it. Less than half of the other pass harness I am keeping. All lights, trans sensors and batter fusible link lines. All 5 fusible links will be replaced by modern fuses.

Tap shift should be a nice pain. Diagram for reference

Hoping Trail Tailor can lend some wisdom on that and possible routing of the Lokar shift cable. If I floor mount the shifter, the cable need to go through the body somewhere near the parking brake line

Decided to give the gates powergrips a chance too, hopefully I didn’t do this too early

Last is I was able to get an OEM rebuild kit for my loose steering box. Going to do a rebuild plus potential tap for hydro assist

 

[cruisermatt]

You don’t need hydro assist.
Did you find a adapter for the AC comp? I need the same for a project we have here.

I’m tempted to try the one I linked above. They make one that exits left and right. I’ll let you know.

Hydro Assist is tbd.

Let me know when you get the 6L80 tcase shifter brackets in, I am in need of one

I’ll get on it

 

[BurntToast]

I understand why no one posts detailed how tos for wiring. It’s basically a trace source and destination marathon and cutting the stuff that doesn’t belong

All useless wires removed from engine bay harness and all BP automotive harness tie-ins identified.

There’s a few different variations of those ac hose adapters on ebay. Some USA made. Do you know if the original hoses had sealing washers or o rings that go in a groove on the tube? Any numbers on that compressor, make/model?

I do not know, I didnt get the hoses with my swap.

GM GENUINE 92265300 seems to be the compressor

Drill through the floor support. Add grommet and all done.

My man, I appreciate it. Just bought grommets yesterday so was thinking that may be the case

 

[BurntToast]

Working on my electrical in the engine bay planning. Did a continuation of a dive into fuses I did a while back for the BMW seats.

FJ62 Fusible Link Replacement discussion

Been talked about probably in 10+ threads, but figured why not experiment a bit more. I am doing an LS swap, but I figure this info would be useful for more than just my application. Not here to debate fusible links vs fuse methodology, lots of opinions. I have ran this by a few EEs at my job...

Here is my current plan for wiring. Pos and Neg Bus bars, followed by the 5 circuit Littelfuse box. Relay box and alternator on a terminal fuse block on the positive battery.

Relay box trigger wires go into the cab, except for 2 sets that the GM computer will control for the Spal fans. 3 relay circuits left for other uses.

 

[BurntToast]

Finished the trans cooler lines. Decided to drill and put grommets in on the core support. Not sure how comfortable I am with the upper hose in the upper support bar. Also put some shrink tube on the hose in locations where rubbing is possible

Also I don’t like the spade based connectors the Spal fans shipped with, so Deutsch it is

Do you use the Lokar reverse light kit? Trying to devise a tricky way to get reverse lights to work

Do you have the switch box on the side of the transmission?

 

[tmxmotorsports]

Do you have the switch box on the side of the transmission?

It has a more technical name than that but having trouble remembering it.

 

[cruisermatt]

6L80 doesn't have that.

@BurntToast any interest in a extended NSS/reverse light pigtail to plug into the stock body connectors? happy to make that for you.
