I have been meaning to ask this for years. The left/driver center vent does not blow as hard as the right center vent. It's very annoying when I have a passenger 'cause they get more air than I do. It's just not fair!! ;) So, has anyone else noticed this or do I have something blocking the flow...

OK, thanks, I am leaving it alone until it gives me more specific info. Thanks, Kev

04 Trailblazer 4.2 L A few weeks ago TB started to run very rough & throwing P0302 code, so I stopped & purchased a coil pack. I reset the code so it would throw it again & I would be sure it was Cyl 2. It wouldn't throw a code, but still ran the same. It cleared up after a few days of driving...

Thanks for the info. Is there a diagram somewhere that shows this type of connection? What is it called?

I have developed a fluid leak at the transmission cooler where the rigid tube connects to the bottom. The nut is tight, but I don't know how this tube seals. It has a snap ring with a black plastic cover. I loosened the nut & repositioned the tube (wiggled it) & retightened the nut. Can anyone...

Thanks, Couldn't find the bushing locally & the dealer only provides the complete cable. Needed to get running quickly. kev

Automatic Transmission Range Selector Cable Replacement 1 Ensure that the vehicle is in the park position. 2 Raise the vehicle. 3 Remove the end of the range selector cable from the transmission range selector lever ball stud if it isn’t already.(6). 4 Remove the retainer (5) from the range...

I will check that next time it fails. The bolt is tight & I have cleaned the connector. Thanks, kev

OK, hardest part was getting the cable through from the console, under the carpet & out to where it exits the cab. I have some tips, so I will put together my instructions & post later. Incdentally, I have an intermittent problem with my dash going out in a variety of ways. Today, after I got...

OK, everything is in, but looking for any tips on adjusting the linkage cable length. Do I just put the shifter in park & make sure the tranny is in park (check the indicator in dash) & then get the cable to match up to the lever & lock it down? THX, kev

I found detailed instructions on that other site. I think they are from a factory manual or Chitlins. At any rate, it looks like a bit of a pain to get to the top side where it exits the cab. Have to pull the carpet, but I am committed now. Or maybe I'll be committed afterwards ;) Hopefully I...

Well, no one in town has the bushing, so the dealer sold me a new cable assy. They don't do bushings. $80 bucks later I am on my way to install it. Several people I talked to said that replacing the cable is best as they have seen many of the aftermarket bushings fail quickly. It shouldn't be...

OK, I am going to use some incorrect words to describe what I found. Where the cable from the shifter attaches to the arm coming out of the transmission is disconnected. I just felt around, but I don't see how it will stay on if I get it back on the post. What part am I going to have to replace...

Would that explain why the display does not move from R when I move the shifter. Or why is rolls when the shifter is fully forward? kev

OK, here is what I know so far. Hopefully someone will get a clue to what is going on. Car will not turn over. No solenoid, but electrical is working. Batt good. Here is what I have found. Shifter will not unlock from park. Button won't push. Pressed solenoid to release shifter, but when in...
