Re: Suburban Vintage Air A/C
Nice work buddy! I assume you have to flip the control knobs to get it to turn on and set temp?

Re: Suburban Vintage Air A/C
To bring this back from The dead. Do you guys who have installed this unit think it can be retro fitted into the stock overhead ac. I have the unit that runs front to back. And would love heat for rear

Hi Jeff. Do you have any pictures of the second row seat how it is mounted? I tested fitted my seats from a 04 Suburban and they seem very close together.
Thanks, Nick |

Re: Suburban Vintage Air A/C
I have been trying to get my '72 Suburban original-ish front and rear A/C working with some success. I live in Florida, so I have some minor complaints from the family on the cooling power, especially in city driving. It gets hot here!! The A/C didn't work when I purchased the vehicle about a year ago due to compressor bearing failures. After a little research, I purchased a Four Seasons 58098 AC compressor, with clutch.
It worked ok for a while (about 6 months), but died on me last week. The clutch started spewing black super-heated liquid all over the engine bay. AutoZone - where I purchased it - gave me a free replacement that I installed this week, so I'm back in business. One question for this group of folks - does anyone have a perspective on replacing the front fan for the A/C system? Is it very involved? Only the LOW and MED speeds now work, and the fan speed was anemic even when the HIGH speed worked. While I have plenty of cold air available, the fan just won't push it to the 2nd row of seats. Thanks in advance! |
Re: Suburban Vintage Air A/C
Here's another question, does the newer model Gen IV system do any better at cooling one of these big beasts than the Gen II on the original post?
|
Re: Suburban Vintage Air A/C
If I am not mistaken, the Gen II uses the old style pulleys and cables and the newer version uses electronic solenoids. I believe the cooling capabilities are similar. I had the old style and it cooled fine. I did add the rear air in addition to the traditional system.

Re: Suburban Vintage Air A/C
I have had both, and now have a VA monster unit. Light years ahead of the direct fit. A monster unit will heat and cool the whole car, but it uses bigger hoses in the front that uses more of the valuable room there. I never had any luck getting the stock rear unit to work properly.Direct fit is just not big enough for these big cars.

Re: Suburban Vintage Air A/C
What model Slimline did you use for this?

Re: Suburban Vintage Air A/C
The monster unit evaporater fits behind the dash, but had to put the vents under the dash. No room for in dash vents

Re: Suburban Vintage Air A/C
Has anyone mounted one of the skin units above the second row seat? I don't have 3rd row seat I'm worried the second row seat won't get cold enough. I have 5 year old that sits there and as it is the front barely gets cold enough in 95 degree temps
