Re: Operable locking diff for 7.5" GM
The problem with a non-selectable locker like a Detroit or a PowerTrax no-slip is that as soon as you torque them they lock. So going around corners in snow will cause a drift if you are not careful. Astrozam ran one in his 95 RWD and liked it in winter as he had great traction. He just drove carefu...

Re: Operable locking diff for 7.5" GM
I would imagine the front IFS in the H3, Colorado etc is reverse rotation where the 7.625" rear in the A/S vans is a low pinion. You are right about the Truetrac slipping with one wheel in the air. An option is to swap in the open carrier and install a Power Trax no-slip locker. It's not select...

Re: A/C dose not work
Bad blower motors are somewhat common. You can check by putting the speed switch on high and pulling the plug at the motor and checking voltage. Should be full battery voltage.

Re: interesting info I found for 94 Astro/Safari's
Lockdoc did the CPI to TBI (350) swap and has it documented here in the V8 section. It was a bunch of work but turned ok really nice. Check his thread out for ideas. Sounds like a good plan. Too bad you are going backwards to TBI as they were the lesser HP engines. The CPI's were the 190 - 200 HP on...
