Has anyone replaced the AC actuator yet in the dash that switches from defrost to floor vents to the main AC vents? Mine just took a shit yesterday, now it's stuck on defrost.

Messed with the HVAC

No front heat on my '01 SLT.

The rear heat works so I know it's not the core or coolant related, so I tried the actuator relearn procedure. I can hear the actuators move when moving the dials, but still no heat. I'm getting ready to remove the cover under the dash so I can visually watch the blend door actuator and tey to figure this out.

Actually it CAN be heater core related. The front and rear have two separate heater cores. But if the rear is getting hot, you at least know it's not coolant related. Either the front heater core is clogged or its something to do with the blend door most likely.

Yeah, my bad! It would be kinda hard to use the front heater core for the rear heat unless there was some crazy ductwork thing running back there from the dash.... Lol

Made that mistake 1st time I changed the oil. 4.8, 5.3 and 6.0 all take 6 qts. Not sure about the 8.1 tho.

Yeah I didn't realize that when I changed the oil in the 'hoe last week. Bought a 5 qt jug and a filter and thought I was good to go.... till I got home and saw that it required 6 qts.... then of course had to go back out for another measly little qt. :banghead:

I get two 5qt jugs and use one for just the 6th qt that lasts me 5 oil changes and just have to buy one 5qt jug for each of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th changes.

Now that I have 2 yukons I do the same thing but start with three jugs and the extra jug I take the 6th qt from only lasts half as long.... Lol

I do something similar. I get mine when there's an O'Reillys deal for $10 gift card rebate. Limit 2. You can buy jugs or quarts. So I get one jug and 5 quarts. This way I can keep an extra quart in the truck, too. Then use the $20 gift cards to buy them next time the deal comes around. Lol.

ive done valve seals, not the worst job out there. just a little scary lol

Yeah I did a valve seal job on my Jeep. Wasn't the worst thing in the world once I got the proper tools. I tried doing it without an air valve holder at first.... that was pretty stupid. Luckily though, it's not the Hoe that's leakin', it's the Ram. So I only have to remove about 2/3rds as much stuff to get the valve covers off ;)

That's not a bad idea. I'll have to do that next go-round.

I usually order a case of Amsoil, which is 12 quarts. Exactly enough for two oil changes. The Amsoil filters have gotten ridiculously expensive the last few years, so I usually ****** a few Mobil1 filters from Rockauto whenever I place an order for other parts. I do sometimes grab those Mobil1 deals when they are ridiculously cheap at Advance, O'Reilly, or AutoZone, but 90% of the time I run Amsoil.
