sorry to jump right in with questions, but im new to chevy trucks. i just bought one that needs some work its a 2002 denali xl. theres quite a few things wrong with it and im the type of person that has to fix them all lol. i had a lexus and did all the work to it myself aswell as all my previous cars. and am on other forums aswell. so i know you guys know your cars in and out. ill start with what it says on the screen
low coolant (but its full)
service air ride(but rides smooth as butter)

now engine and a/c (p.i.t.a)
pulled out dip stick sleeve and it came out completely (wtf did i do lol!), where does it go? its the sleeve that the engine oil dip stick goes in
a/c runs but it wont blow cold air, the guy i got it from says it needs a new tensioner because the one he put on was cheap but it was acdelco so he lied.lol what else can it be? it blows cool. if anyone has any experience with this please let me know! thanks again sorry to come in like this

This is a common problem with the Denali rear self-leveling air shocks. The factory shocks and air compressor usually die after a few years. A lot of people here replace them with an aftermarket setup which lasts longer, you'll have to wait on them to answer because I don't know what it is.

Welcome to the forum though, I'm rather new here myself. Not to discourage you, but that sounds like it had an apathetic owner who had it before you... How many miles does it have?

thanks. yeah i guess the previous owner didnt really take care of the truck but i got it for a good price. so im o.k with it. it has alot of miles though 175k but i have an expedition with 283k i believe most cars when taken care of can last as long as you need it to. so its got something to do with the rear? shocks? struts ?sensor? lol new to this . and again thanks hopefully someone else chimes in here
