I have been all over the internet trying to find a replacement dashboard for my 03 Suburban. I have seen plenty of covers, but my dash is destroyed. There is not enough structure left to attach a skin to. Anyone know of a source to get replacement dashboards? I imagine junk yards might be one...

Finally got around to checking AC clutch gap. (FWIW I have only had the problem twice since original post). I also tried the flushing water over the condenser while the problem was happening (no change) Gap is difficult to measure accurately while in the vehicle, but best I can tell, .035 is a...

So something like this? GPD Kit I am mostly concerned with how the accumulator hose hooks up to the evaporator. I DO NOT want to have to take the dash out to deal with changing the evaporator so matching connections, fittings and seals will be important here. (been there done that -Twice, with...

My 98 Expedition needs some AC work. Definitely front suction and discharge hose assembly. Maybe a compressor? Seals are leaking for sure, but if this was under 250.00 I would probably replace. I made a separate post about this...not too many responses though. I imagine accumulator should be...

Nothing came apart. Seals and hoses leaking. Looks like the hoses are leaking at the rusty fittings that are crimped to the hoses.

My 98 Expedition 5.4 (250k+ miles) has a noticeable AC leak(s). It is clearly leaking at the hoses and looks like it is leaking at the seals on the compressor. The dye is around the fitting connection on the compressor...and even that could be leaking down from the leaking hoses. Mechanic quoted...

I did do some research. Everything I researched was a bit gray. Turns out some of these had it, some didn't and a lot of mixed information. Mine is one that does not have it, so that is why I couldn't find it.

You called it again! This was the issue. Problem Fixed... Thanks! Problem fixed. Was definitely compromised insulation causing a short. Used adhesive line heat shrink for insulation repair. I didn't think it would work, but for the wires that only had a little insulation burned on 1 side, I...

Is there a cabin air filter on a 98 Expedition Eddie Bauer 5.4L? If so, where is it? I looked behind the glove box...no sign of one there.

Problem fixed. Was definitely compromised insulation causing a short. Used adhesive line heat shrink for insulation repair. I didn't think it would work, but for the wires that only had a little insulation burned on 1 side, I split the heat shrink up the middle, placed over the wire with the...

Compressor clutch makes sense too. Drove last night- Ambient temperature around 80 degrees. No AC issues at all. In fact, the temperature at the vent was 45 degrees, even at idle...almost too cold. Problem only occurs when the outside temperature is high.

My thoughts exactly (on paper). I think the general concept here was that with the 3.42 ratio complimented the 8 speed transmission. My 4 speed has the 4:10. I test drove an 04 4 speed Suburban with the 3.73 and it was a noticeable difference. Much smoother on the shifts, but something felt...

This is an interesting thought. What years/models could this swap be made in? Thinking I might have a better chance of getting a high mileage 1500 and make this swap. It sounds like you have the experience, what kind of dollars does this pairing cost to upgrade? Would you do new or rebuilt? I...

Great advice. It looks like these were in production until 2013. Did the 2500 GMT 900's suffer from the AFM problems that seem to be so talked about? These are hard to find. I looked at one with lots of miles, 15 thousand dollars and was from up north so rusted chassis and the rear leveling...

This is what I am talking about...you have a practically new vehicle and an old one, and you seem more confident in the old one. 335k miles, congratulations. I am at 223k on my 03 5.3 4L60 with 4:10 gears Suburban. Lots of confidence in this. I did have to do rear main and fuel pump, but I trust...

I have been nursing my 98 Expedition and can't seem to let it go. 250k miles plus on it. I always fall into that rabbit hole of rather spend a few hundred to fix it than get into a car payment. Now AC is leaking (quoted 1500 to fix) Need 4 tires...Another 800.00, rocker panel rust is creeping up...

I am trying to narrow down my shopping selection for an older model Suburban/Yukon XL/Denali XL for my wife's DD and for towing our 5500k lb RV. I have made a few other posts regarding specific vehicles, but this is for a more generic inquiry. The more research I do, the more I find out problems...

Before I got my Suburban, that was on my radar, purely based on published specifications. But after the Suburban, I am gonna stay away from Ford/Lincoln. I have an older 98 Expedition and a 03 Suburban. While there is a 5 year gap in model years, and 3 speed vs 4 speed tranny, the Expedition is...

I never hear that roar, even on startup. I had a similar situation on the Expedition, changed the fan clutch and the roar definitely appeared, but no improvement to AC performance on very hot days.

Interesting strategy. I have to duplicate the problem to try that. I just tried, but the conditions are not hot enough to make the problem occur. One thing I did notice while trying this is that while at idle, with controls set at 60, the temp at the vent is 70. When I increase RPM to 2500 in...
