Coolant Reservoir Clean Out

[89Suburban]

My Tahoe has rear A/C also, but I would suspect that the accumulator is the same for at least 03-06 and possibly 01-06 Tahoe Yukon Suburban Escalade....as long as they all have rear A/C.

The factory original one on mine is in place as well. I'll bet your accumulator was replaced at some point in the past and they did not replace it or move it onto the new one? I will look at an 06 Yukon next time I'm at a PYP yard to see if I notice any last model GM SUV's without the insulation jacket.

They all don't show that part for my year.... ( I ordered it anyway) Geeze $10 to ship, but what the heck..... maybe you can take a photo of yours? I'm just curious...

How does that insul wrap mount? Just zip tied on there?

You can sort of see it in this thread I have going...but it's not a close up or clear picture, since it's just background 'noise.' If you would like a better picture or from a different angle, let me know and I'll snap one.

Engine swap '04 Tahoe 5.3 to 6.0

I believe it's all one piece... seems I saw a replacement new harness available recently for a coupla hundred somewhere. This may have been what I found - I probably would have considered it when doing my motor swap, had I known it was easily replaceable...

I give. New reservoir ordered. My cap still looks good so I’ll leave it for now. You guys are a terrible influence.

Pot calls kettle black.

My guess..... Pull it up from the bottom? Maybe also remove the mounting strap "belt" first?
Getting it by by 7/5...... Then I'll figure it out.

Great idea.....Thanks

Something else you might try... Soak in plastic friendly cleaning product. Then rinses out as you previously had, add the distilled water, then set it out in the summer heat

As soon as I receive the accumulator insulation, and I will see how to make it fit ( it is just cloth)...

I figured most members around my age went through putting on a stupid tight 'disco era' "Sergio Valenti" denim pants ( You had to lay on the floor to pull them on)....
Then, we can "dress anything".....

Chicks word those pants in the 60’s but no men that I knew…maybe that was a California thing.
