    2003 Avy Z71..AC controller malfunctions with actuators? AC Gurus?

    Hi All, So for the longest time I have been without heat. I did the basic checks and all was well. Figured out how to see both passenger and driver actuators... both were unplugged. Plugged them in, did a blend door reset, have heat again. Up until this point I havent had any issues with the AC...

    Are keys and new shocks needed to remove rake?

    I have a Z71 and Im not necessarily looking to lift, but rather just remove the forward rake. Just level with a little more room to get under the truck without a jack. Will I need new keys and shocks to do this? Or can I just crank the stock keys? Im worried that it being a Z71 it has just maxed...

    Truck dead, starter click - Battery is Good

    So just changed oil, and now I cant get her to start. In just a moments thought, I thought I would just bump the starter a couple times to prime the oil pump. Sounds dumb in hindsight. Third crank, the whole truck just died. The interior lights dimmed, cluster was flashing, wipers came on, AC...

    Oil Pan Drain Bolt Size/Special Tool?

    2003 Avy with the 5.3 Been trying for over an hour to get it out to no avail. 15mm is too big and 9/16 is too small. Is there yet another proprietary tool that I need to buy?! Also, assuming I actually can get it out eventually, what can I get to replace it? I do not want to use that garbage...

    4x4 selector going to N - selection not working.

    Symptom is that on startup the 4x4 selector is in N. Selecting any other mode, that modes light will flash for a few, then go back to N. So I had this issue once before. Found a thread that mentioned that sometimes the communication fails to reach the modulator on startup. Fix was to remove the...

    Poor AC performance - Heat turns on automatically

    So after a full flush of all lines, replacement of clogged orifice tube, vacuum and recharge I still have poor AC performance. 40/150psi @90* Front vents (and floor because it wouldnt stop blowing there) were less then 90, but rear was hot. After research I came across re-calibration...

    Need help iwth harnesses; transfer case, 7 pin...

    Hi all, Mom got a 2004 Tahoe from someone who must have been a nut case as the harnesses for the 7 pin, post O2 sensor, and transfer case have been ripped out. I already have the 7 pin plastic connector off of Amazon. It's a generic one so I need a wiring diagram. For the TC, it's the motor...

    Looking at buying NBS Hoe/Kon; questions

    In the market again for another Tahoe or Yukon and have a few questions; I see there are third row options. Ill be damned if I can find a pic showing before and after seats are removed. No use for them so wanna see if there are differences other than just having the option. Some of the middle...

    My fuel gauge is... Different...

    http://youtu.be/yaCmucY2dm8 This is not the normal buzzing, swaying, or dead gauge. I can still tell how much fuel as you can see it mostly rests in the same spot. When parked the gauge sometimes stays stationary. It is way worse since the recording, but still settles. This makes me think...

    Can tires alone cause death Wobble?

    I know my tires are shot, and I mean they are beyond bad. I feel a solid, even pattern, shake at low speed. This tells something is deff bulging somewhere, if not tires. Now Ive had it off the ground with wheels hanging and noticed there is a hair bit of slack pretty much everywhere, but the...

    No crank - 96 POS Tahoe

    First, the truck has always taken quite awhile to start but never had an issue cranking. Ive ran the batt dead a couple of times due to it being very hard to start with low fuel. So I ran the batt dead the previous Friday, charged it, all good. Did the same last Friday, charged, does not...

    Fuel gauge issue, where to find... and other Qs

    The damper fluid or the actual motor. To be a bit more clear, there is a supposed fix for the gauge by adding damper fluid, but I can't seen to find the right stuff. Or I would like to, or rather prefer to if the price is right, to replace the motor in the cluster. The fixes may not help my...

    Noisy IAC, No start; fuel, IAC, or?

    GF's 99 Yukon has been developing a no start issue. Not sure if it's low on fuel (gauge issue, another thread) or if there is an actual issue. It does have a code for one of the CATs and idle's a bit off. One time I actually showed up with a gas can and it fired right up, another time (after...

    Methed Out Fuel Gauge

    Well the GF never told me about the fuel gauge coming down off an 8 week meth binge. Normaly and has always simply did the buzz/blur needle effect. I borrow the truck this morning and the needle now goes E, F, E, 1/4, E, F etc... Is the sending unit fuckered? Ground? Cluster? Speaking on...

    New Ride! Need some (lots of) assistance...

    Just picked up a 96 Tahoe on a trade; 1. Didn't come with a key fob. Do they not come with keyless on 96's? If not, can one be removed from another donor truck? 2. A/C is charged and most all has been replaced by previous owner. Compressor still doesn't kick, though he did say it worked fine...

    A/C vent air volume not blowing strong.

    I have been able to compare my Kon to another, all original, Suburban. The Burb has much better air flow than my Kon. But my evap and drain is as clean as it can be and the blower is new. I can hear its working well but the flow doesnt match the sound; if that makes any sence. Ideas? 99 kon
