    door lock relay or?

    Hey guys, So today, on the 00 Limited, everything was hunky doory, and then making a left turn the doors locked by them selves. And it seemed that the door lock actuators continued to try and keep locking the doors for the remainder of the drive home. Got home, and the un-lock button...

    A/C problem, compressor?? Help

    I'm not saying spend 150 on gauges. I'm saying spend more than 150 on the full kit. That 150 for everything you want to replace is very cheap.

    Better Gas Mileage?

    It's a 6000lb beast. MPG's aren't going to be that great. With that said, I have a 2000 Limited, and I can get around 16-17 in town being really easy on the throttle. And going 70mph down the freeway can get 20-21. We averaged around that on our trip out to San Diego last October. Takes...

    A/C problem, compressor?? Help

    The harbor freight one's aren't that bad. I've had mine for a couple of years and they work pretty well. I've also had some really good high quality gauges at work, and honestly, for the price of the HF one's, it's not too bad. Also, I'm with Sunlit, if you are only spending $150 on all...

    A/C problem, compressor?? Help

    Clean your evap coil and see if that helps. There is a DIY on here somewhere. Your coil could be dirty.

    A/C problem, compressor?? Help

    To be honest, I would guess your charge is still low. and you are not getting enough liquid refrigerant past the orfice tube to give the evap coils enough mass to actually cool the air. I would suggest having the system completely evacuated, and flushed, find your leak and repair it, and then...

    A long story to a small question.

    I say sell it. Let someone else enjoy/fix it. If it is just going to sit, then doesn't seem worth holding on to. Insurance and maintenance is just an expense. In good condition they are only going for 2500-3000 around here. It isn't going to appreciate in value. Ever. So what you can get...

    00 Limited Trailer Hitch

    I'm pretty certain it will fit. Will probably pick it up tomorrow. And when I looked under the car there is a connector their already for trailer brake lights. Just need to buy the harness.

    00 Limited Trailer Hitch

    Tools I'm not worried about, I have plenty of those. Installation shouldn't be too bad. Does anyone know if the Yukon is the same for this era? I found a tow hitch from a Yukon on CL for $50 that I might go pick up. Or are the ones for the Suburban and Silverados/Sierras the same? I've seen...

    00 Limited Trailer Hitch

    Hey guys, I'm looking to put a hitch on my 2000 Limited. I saw a video for installation to a Suburban that required fishing the bolts and square washer through the frame. But on the Limited, the frame is basically open, it's more like a channel than a Box tube. Is this normal for all...

    AZ heat vs old worn A/C

    If you haven't already purchased everything from auto zone, there is a shop in PHX that has very good prices. I had to replace the compressor, condenser,and txv on my wife's car about two years ago. All the parts were about $400. I have the website saved in my favorites to my computer at...

    AZ heat vs old worn A/C

    I have professional grade vacuum pump, gauges and scale for weighing it back in. Its a little harder to erigh it in with the small cans. If you just leaked out, and are just replacing seals i don't think you would need to replace all of that. Its when the compressor siezes that you get a...

    AZ heat vs old worn A/C

    i have the fan installed, but havent completed the wiring. i think th biggest issue is more the volume of the cab as opposed to the efficiency of the system or the color of the car. if you have no window tint, then get that done first, that will be a huge benefit. do you have rear AC? I do...

    AZ heat vs old worn A/C

    I'm also in AZ. I am in the process of putting a condenser fan on the truck. My Tahoe spits out ice cubes when moving but not too cold when sitting. The fan should help this.

    99 Yukon losing oil

    well if you aren't leaking it, and you're down 3 quarts, I would say you are burning it. How long between oil changes?

    Adding AC Condensor Fan

    Well I think I have it figured out. The wires that goes to the ECM C3 Connector Pin 25 is the AC request. This should be the signal coming when you push the button on the dash. I will investigate in the next day or so and report back the outcome. Hopefully that is it, then I should be able...

    Adding AC Condensor Fan

    I thought about the toggle switch too, but would rather have it wired so I don't have to remember to turn it on. This is where I was thinking of the time delay relay. Basically if it had a delay of say 1 minute to turn on after the compressor clutch is cycled on. And then 1 minute to turn off...

    Adding AC Condensor Fan

    Well I got the condensor fan mounted up today, but didn't get the wiring done. Basically, I found that every wire I was going to tap into for the relay to the fan, was already hot. My interpretation of the schematic in the haynes manual was that when I pushed the button in the dash, it ran the...

    Adding AC Condensor Fan

    I got it from amazon. I will get the part number and some pics later today. Going to try and get it installed today. The wife has been driving the Tahoe because it has rear ac that comes down from the ceiling to keep our 1 year old cool.

    Adding AC Condensor Fan

    Just trying to get the ac to blow a little colder at idle and low speeds. At freeway speeds it spits out icecubes, but not so much when sitting at idle. That is a good call to run it from the main switch. I will have to pull up the main harness diagram and see where I can tap in to have it...
