    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

    Very clean Florida truck, but I did clean some grounds that were indeed dirty. Still I want to find the ground for the main negative lead. As some one mentioned before was to check for corrosion and did. Its starting now with the Firebird battery. Still weak tho.

    Truck dead, starter click - Battery is Good

    Thanks for all the help guys. Pulled a battery from our dead Firebird and it worked, worked with way less charge than the original battery. Old battery still tests good, so I dont know what to think about it. Im still going to probably have to get another battery as it still seems like it a has...

    Truck dead, starter click - Battery is Good

    Cables look very clean, but Ill check in the lead cover. They are a pain to remove. I might just cut them off if they get corroded anyway. Whats the point in having them.

    Truck dead, starter click - Battery is Good

    Cables are very clean. I just cleaned grounds under the driver door on the frame and the one that goes to battery by the radiator. Still same result. Still dont know where the main negative cable goes tho. Any idea?

    Truck dead, starter click - Battery is Good

    Battery tests good and I dont even need to turn it over for it to lose power. So in this case I dont think solenoid would cause power loss, right?

    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?

    I feel like the previous owner got that thing from a VW. At closer inspection, it looks like some sealant was put on it and some got around the head of the bolt. Still wasnt a 15, but deff altered enough to make it near impossible to remove. Had to use an impact and one of these...

    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.

    Thanks for the info guys. I should note that all other times the 4x4 works perfectly fine, so the encoder motor does indeed work. Now it is to the point that the issue hasn't come back once since posting this. My guess is Tech 2 would show all is well considering how inconsistent it is. I...

    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...

    No heat on driver or pass...

    Everything works except heat, literally. AC is ice cold, all vents work, all selections, etc. No coolant loss at all. TBF tho, Ive only had the truck for about two months now. I myself haven't done anything to the coolant system, but that's not to say previous owner hasn't. Again tho, the heater...

    No heat on driver or pass...

    Engine hot, all controls responsive, but no heat. Dual-zone digital climate control. Temp never changes no matter what I select with the knobs. I have changed out the airaitor, done complete recallibration procedure, and checked that the heater core hoses are indeed hot. Are the temperature...

    Poor AC performance - Heat turns on automatically

    I think youre onto something. So I patched up the box and did a much better job. Manually moved the selector to vents as shown here . Took it for a ride and now have super pressure. AC nice and cool, but not as cold as I like, but prob still enough to freeze my mother out. But on that ride I...

    Poor AC performance - Heat turns on automatically

    Good to know. My mother honestly doesnt care about rear AC. So just focusing on the front for now. I did witness that both temp actuators work fine. I also covered up the right side gap, between enclosure and evap and I got a ton of cold air in the face. Felt great! That got me to thinking -...

    Poor AC performance - Heat turns on automatically

    Yes sir. Evap looks new along with blower. I have peeked inside and both doors are closed on heater core so that is fine. My money is now on the actuator that controls the where the airflow goes. I made adjustments on the controller and didnt see it move. It also blows out of floor and vents at...
