A/C Clutch blew out, are there alternative compressors? 1978 K-10

Tried to post this in the 'heating A/C section but there is no 'new topic' tab on that page... ?

So the clutch blew out, and I am thinking before I replace it to ask the brain trust here if anyone recommends an alternate brand(s) that will bolt up, and maybe not take as much energy to run.

It's a single cab and this monster freezes you out, same huge FRIGIDAIRE GM used for years.

Any help is always appreciated!

Dash light question

August 20, 2019, 07:36:53 PM by MacQueen7 | Views: 71 | Comments: 1

Thank you for the help so far, i have a 1986 k10 that was not running when i bought it. My gauge lights dont turn on with the headlights. All head and tail lights work, each blinker works. Also the 4wd indicator lights up, and the blinker indicators on the dash work. Just not the dimmable lights. I did remove two bulbs from the dash and check them in the taillight and they turned on. I would go with pcb being bad, or the grey wire having a cut somewhere according to the tech article since i have power on one side of the 5 amp fuse. The ground strap is on clean metal to metal, as is block to frame and battery to frame. Am i missing something? Also the radio doesnt turn on, but i havent checked the fuse block yet and i need to double check wires, it was new when installed 4 months ago

I have a 1978 2wd C10, V8 305 with a turbo 350 long tail transmission.
I found a nice running V8 350 with turbo 400 trans
Still in a 1976 Chevy motorhome.(drives great)
I was wanting to pull mine out engine n trans together.
And put the 350 n 400 trans in still together.
Does anyone know what obstacles, or changes I may have to make?
Thank you!!

1982 C10 Totaled. How much will I get?

August 18, 2019, 11:02:20 PM by Rtlane | Views: 285 | Comments: 13

Hi,
So long story short my truck coasted down my driveway, which is on a hill, and the opened passenger door caught a tree which damaged the door and fender. The rear roll pan was also damage. The geico insurance adjuster came out and filed the report. She said more than likely it will be totaled. She said the damages would cost $4600 to repair. I will know this week how much I will get for the truck. How much has someone got for their truck being totaled? She said she put that the truck was in above average condition...she called it “dealer” condition.
