This thing still broke? Think it needs a caddy 500 conversion.....

Sorry to hear about your friend being hospitalized! Could your modifications have been the cause for his ails? J/K! I hope he gets better soon! Hospitals and illness suck!
You say experts working on ...... how much a hour are they gonna hit the pocketbook with this? Weeks of expert time sounds like $150 a hour?
Trying to understand why you lost ventilation. It doesn't run through the pcm, just the compressor does. Ventilation runs through the Bcm, which should be immune to the programming performed on the pcm.
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
Looks like I missed a bunch of progress. LolI'm actually getting ready to dig into my burb a bit. After shopping for newer rigs, I've decided that my money will go farther fixing mine up. My next big project is going to be a rebuilt transmission and transfer case. I'm leaning towards a "heavy duty" 4l80E from monster transmission. And I'll take care of the rebuild on the t case. I actually found a company that makes a slip yoke eliminator for the front output on the 246. I'm hoping that getting rid of the sloppy slip yoke that's on there will get rid of the vibration that is coming from the front shaft. Speaking of the front shaft, I noticed that yours doesn't have a cv joint at the top. Do you have any vibration from it? Mine has a dual cardan joint at the top. I figured that was pretty standard for lifting these things. How much lift do you think you got from the shackle flip ? I have blocks on the back of mine, which are ok, but a shackle flip might be better?Sorry to hear that you aren't going on the long trip that you were hoping for.

I only drove it a couple times before I realized I had fan problems so really can't say about any added vibration. But since I do not recall anything along those lines, it was probably fine. BDS suspensions do not call for the need of any change to the front driveshaft and the angular change is miminal anyway, so given the choice, I would not have elected to change the driveshaft.As for the lift from flipping the shackle, I'd say 5"-6". It seems that you get the length of the shackle in added lift. If you had a 4.5" shackle in the factory configuration and simply flipped it then expect a 4.5" lift over what it was stock. That may not be a hard and fast rule, but it is what I experienced.Flipping the shackle is much better than lift blocks. For safety reasons and for added flex in the suspension it is a great modification.And ya, I really want that truck back!So, Troy tells me he has the issue solved and the AC will flat freeze you out of the thing. He is now tracing all the wiring on the PCM bundles to make sure they are all in the correct orientation. I sure hope this doesn't go on much longer...
