CHILL OUT! - How To Wire LS Swap A/C SYSTEM - 1985 Chevy C10 Square Body - UTX

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Today at Ugly Truck, we've got our air conditioning system installed, and we're just a few wires away from ICE COLD AC! We use the OEM HVAC control module so that the PCM controls the system and can adjust the engine idle when the compressor kicks on. And on that note, the 85 C10 5.3 LS swap is complete!
Check out the rest of this square body LS swap here! • 1985 Chevy C10 - LS SW...

    @@UglyTruckExperience It seems that the Vintage Air and others suggest you use their compressor (Sanden 508). It seems the stock GM style compressor is a variable displacement compressor and has been known not to play nice with Vintage Air Systems. Probably going with a Sanden style low mount aftermarket mount which uses the stock crank pulley. Curious if the Sanden compressor will load down the engine. Seems mixed on LS swaps. Some say no problem , some have stalling issues. Does your workaround kick up the idle? I did not notice much change in the video. Or maybe I just need to chill and cross that road if it needs crossed, LOL

    Yes, doing it this way it controls the idle the same as it would in the original 2005 that it came out of. When you turn the ac on it slowly brings the idle up just a bit anticipating it coming on. You don't even notice when the compressor kicks on. It idles so low with ac off that it would definitely stall if it wasn't controlled by computer.

If not, I’ll use this method. It works, not too long to hook up, and it could be hidden relatively good and no interference of the feet. I have a overhead consol in my burb so maybe an independent switch of some sort somewhere.

    Hello Ed. The LS engine just works better if it is controlling the AC. When the AC is turned on it starts bringing up the idle, getting ready for the compressor to come on and It also cycles the AC using the high side pressure. It is just less noticeable when running and more efficient especially with electric fans. We appreciate you watching. Jerry and Emily

    If you're using an aftermarket ECM with the aftermarket harness, some of them will control the idle like the OEM PCM. But we've talked to a lot of folks with a lot of experience with LS swaps, and using this module is the only way we've found to do it with the OEM computer. All of our swaps are stock and reuse as many original parts as possible to keep the overall cost down and to make replacement parts easier to find, so we've never used an aftermarket system on our swaps. We're always curious to hear of another way, so be sure to let us know what you figure out. Thanks for watching, and Happy Holidays! --Emily and Jerry

  • @UglyTruckExperience

    Hello Terry. This system uses all of the original wiring in the donor harness to run the AC system. The LS uses that high side pressure sensor to cycle the AC system like normal and the trucks original low side switch on the receiver dryer is used also. That low side switch is wired to the AC processor and just lets it know that it is not low on refrigerant, allowing the processor to go ahead and tell the ECM to run the AC. Hope that answers your question. Thanks for watching. Jerry and Emily

    Hello Shaun. The Dark Green wire would be the wire that powers the Compressor. If the original wiring is all still there, that wire will have power with the AC switch on. It passes through the switch mounted on the accumulator, so it won't have power without the system being full of refrigerant. You can jumper that switch to confirm power at Dark Green with key on and AC on . Or just check the light green wire at the accumulator switch for power. That switch closes and provides power to the Dark Green. Hope that helps. Jerry

    I'm trying to get the high side pressure signal to the pcm. The high side switch I have on my 84 c10 is a 2 wire that is held into the back of the R4 compressor by a snap ring. The plug coming from my LS harness is a 3 wire. How did you get the 3 wire ls pressure switch to work with this setup? Did your hoses have a pressure fitting on the high side to fit a 3 wire LS switch? or did you somehow adapt the harness to work with a 2 wire switch? Thanks!

    The LS 3 wire plug is actually going to what is referred to as a transducer. It receives 5 volts reference, a ground and then a signal determining the actual pressure. You will have to have that 3 wire transducer. The only ones that I have seen thread onto a schrader valve on the high pressure line. If you don't have one you may have add one to the line. That switch that was originally on you 84 is just a on and off switch. On some AC high side fittings, they are threaded on so you can remove the service fittings. I have used that and then just read my high side with a scan tool. I hope this helps. Jerry

Hope that answers your question. Thanks Jerry

    On that truck the suction/discharge hose that I used had the valve installed in the discharge side of the line for me. When I don't use a similar hose or am having to make my own I just have to get that high side valve in there somewhere. Depending on what compressor you are using, some of them have a plug in the back that is optional for the high side sensor. It's that time of year. Everybody wants their AC running. Thanks NIck.
