Propped up my window today. The water deflector was beyond repair so I made one our of a trash bag! I think it will serve the purpose.

The last time I "fixed" it, I removed the door panel and the sheet of plastic/rubber that is attached to the door itself is basically falling apart. The sticky stuff that holds the sheet to the door still works, but the sheet is falling apart. I assume that's to keep any water off the door...

Hi all, I have a 2003 TB LT. My kids are grown so I very seldomly use the 2nd row of seats. The window regulator on the driver side, 2nd row of seats, has failed. Since I don't use it, I removed the failed regulator and propped the window up by wedging with a piece of rigid foam between the...

Spent yesterday changing my radiator. Not an easy job, but pretty straight forward. While I was in there, changed my lower radiator hose and noticed some cracks in my serpentine belt, so I changed that as well. I got a TYC brand radiator on Amazon. Not the cheapest or most expensive (OEM)...

Thanks all... I'm taking this opportunity to flush the system. I've bought new Dexcool to replace it with. It looks pretty straight forward, I've replace my fan clutch before. If I recall, the trans cooler hoses are held to the radiator with clips that I need to use a pick to get off? Is...

I thought I had mentioned previously that I found a couple of drips on the driveway. From underneath the car, I could see the radiator was leaking. I added a can of Stop Leak to the radiator and was going to keep my eye on it... Well... today I went to check my coolant level. This is what I...

OMG!!!!! I just watched the video on the heater core replacement... Please, don't be the heater core. Please, don't be the heater core....

Thank you all... I'm not doing anything until I figure out where the coolant is going. The engine is not overheating so right now, it's just a 'keep and eye on it'. In the winter months, that will tell me if I have a heater core issue. I read somewhere that the reservoir has a low level...

Thank you both. (I have a 4.2) The Chevy service manual says I need to drain the AC first...??? Is that true???? (I noticed an access panel in the engine compartment. I don't suppose I could change it that way?

Thank you both! I did smell a faint coolant smell, but I attributed it to topping off the reservoir and spilling. Now I'm beginning to think it may be the heater core, and it's just not cold enough outside yet to make it obvious. (Until I figure it out, I will do some research here on how to...

Hi, I have a 2003 TB LT. I was going on a trip a week ago and checked the coolant level in my reservoir. I couldn't see it so I added some DexCool. I went on my trip, a couple hours each way. I checked it when I returned and it might have been slightly lower, but not noticeable, anyway, I...

Thanks Mooseman. I received a new actuator and replaced the suspect actuator. It is not making the rotating noise, but it does not switch between the hi and lo vents. I opened the original actuator expecting to see some broken teeth, but I did not. It indicated it was 'out of range' so I...

I have an '03 TB LT. I will be replacing the blend door actuator shortly. This is probably a straight forward process, but is there a link on how to recalibrate the HVAC actuators after replacement? Thanks!

FYI - I was still under warranty. They are sending another one. Thanks.
