Re: 2003 LSx swap thread...here we go

You don't need no stinkin AC... I guess the compressor in the pictures is bad?
So they built custom headers for you that's cool, Looking good Andy.

The AC compressor is fine it just needed a serpentine clutch. They ordered a new one though because it was not much more than the clutch was. But it's on back order. Suppose to be here tomorrow.Oh and yes I do need AC!

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Cool, hope you both make it.
I was sure hoping to but it's not looking to good right now. I called today and Bruce was gone. Never herd back from him.

It's been a long day. Just got home about 1 hr ago! But I drove the truck HOME!!!!! Yeeeeeha!

I have to take it back but from what I drove it it seems to be good. I think they will need to rebalance the drive shaft though. It has a noticable viberation around 50MPH.
I also have to get the AC finished up and Dino it after I get the new 2.5" eshaust done. But it seems to be running good. They had to swap water pumps out and that threw them behind but they stayed until they got it done for now. It took awhile to get all the air out of the system.
I'll post some pictures tomorrow in the light.
