For future reference, if you do a google search on the GM part number you will find quite a few GM Dealers and others who have the original BEHR unit on their shelves although not at Rock Auto prices. Before buying I would call them and make sure this is New/Old stock and not just some...

The speed of the fan clutch is determined by 2 things mainly. Water temp and A/C head pressure. If yours is an 02 then for sure unless the fan speed settings have been updated it turns to slow. Youll need to find a shop that can set the speeds via the computer. I spent 3 years trying...

I bought the Magnaflow complete set. Pipes from manifold to muffler. lil over $1000. Couldnt find a shop that would install them. They all said Magnaflow were cheap Chinese with a MF heat shield wrapped around them and wouldnt even pass state inspection brand new.. Ended up taking to a shop...

Been awhile since I updated my ongoing cooling issues. Been working on them but with temps here at 100+ everyday for 6 straight weeks progress has been slow...... So I had the cats removed and the tranny cooler done. Still was too hot to haul the camper during the day. Left at 1 am and...

I realize that parts are not cheap but take this from someone whos been doing a/c and refrigeration for 50+ years.... Your begging for a major repair bill if any 1 thing is not perfect with that used compressor. I wont go into a long diatribe since you may have it on and working by now but #1...

My camper towing adventure is turning into a huge disaster. Dont have time to tell the whole saga yet but it's looking like a 225,000 mi Envoy V-8 with the 3.40 gears and the inherent cooling problems of same will not tow my trailer. Drove it about 25 miles this morning with outside temp...

Ive got the same problem but with the rear A/c. I pulled the fuse last year and havent thought about it until now. Wouldnt mind getting it repaired... where should i start?

Hopefully someone can answer this. I have to pull my trailer on the 20th. I dont have time or money to replace the cats. If I take them off will I still be able to drive it? I guess Ill leave the O2 sensors where their at for the trip? Disconnect them? I dont have time to get the computer...

There is an XUV at my local u-pull-it. I saw it 2 days ago. If anyone could post a pic of what is needed ill try to see if its available. I looked at the parts on the GM website but Id like to be sure and get the right thing. I guess I should try to strip it clean. Might be a good...

Repaired 1 on mine today with JBWeld Fast Weld. Had to because 1 side holds the lamp on. Left it on about 2 hours and popped it into place . Held tight no problem.

Ok guys heres my 1st idea. It will definitely keep it well forward of the a/c condenser.. Im thinking some chicken wire and screen over the front face to stop road debris from puncturing it. Its 92 degs outside so the heat could be affecting my brain but Im not seeing why this wont work...

Ok , Getting started on the project. Yesterday I noticed the battery light was on so I replaced both the battery and alternator. The battery I put it in 2019 and the alternator I had gotten from the u-pull yard maybe 2 years ago. Im not positive which one was causing the problem but it was...

Clogged cats was the 1st thing that crossed my mind when I felt the initial tug because thats exactly what it felt like. Ive driven 2 vehicles with clogs and that is what this felt like. I dont "think" thats the case here because 1 I have been driving it a lil harder since I had the tranny done...

Finally found a lightweight camper at a good price. Drove about 75 miles away to pick it up yesterday. Immediately upon pulling out on the road I noticed it felt like I was pulling the USS Kidd....thru gumbo mud! Yea maybe the 3.43 gears are not great for towing. 1st stretch of road I came...
