@dcsteve7869 10 ай бұрын

actually you can do it with only a partial disassembly on the dash. Remove the top cover which is just held in by 2 7mm bolts and the rest is clips and that will give you access to the mix box top bolts, each are 10mm. Then you disassemble the lower dash kick panel which is just 3 7mm bolts and then undo the clips holding the glove box inside. Fold out the glove box and remove the 7mm bolts holding it in. Next remove the passenger side sill plate cover which is held in by clips and you should have enough room to undo the rest of the bolts and move the mix box out of the way just enough to slip the condenser core out. However, this is actually an uncommon problem. The majority of HVAC leaks on GM trucks are from the massive condenser up front. These are easy to replace and there is a retrofit that gives it more support so it doesn't form stress fractures around the ports for the tubes. Parts are around $150-$200 also there are vents leading to the back passenger compartment in these pickups. They're under the seat. There is an option for rear zone controls as well, same as on the Suburban.

@drecksaukerl 10 ай бұрын

Call me lucky, but the AC on my 2011 Silverado still blows cold enough to make snow. Got 120K miles. I will agree that the latch is garbage. Mine broke out of warranty. When I pointed out that it shouldn't have failed so soon, the service manager called GM and they agreed to pick up half the cost. Not perfect, but better than nothing. If something breaks prematurely on a vehicle out of warranty, it's a good idea to ask if there's a goodwill warranty. Might save you some money.

I'm already collecting my warranty parts. It hauled my boat.. motorcycle. my moving trailer. From Minnesota to Kansas several times. Everything on it still works. Even the license plate light. I'll bet ANY new truck owner that they're WORKING TRUCK.. not show truck... will last 30 years. I'll bet . Probably gonna replace front suspension. It's still cheaper than buying any used vehicle at this point. Let alone a new truck.

Scotty, a few things I noticed when you were diagnosing the Ram. You demonstrated a capacitive discharge when you touched the disconnected positive and negative cables together, if anyone were to try that you MUST make sure that BOTH batteries are disconnected if you have a vehicle with an auxiliary battery for engine stop start! Also, if you’re going to disconnect the battery positive cable but leave the negative connected, make sure to insulate and isolate the positive cable so it can’t touch the positive post.

It also has a bench seat that 3 people can fit comfortably. I bought it new. It suits all my needs. I can get 8 foot sheets of plywood or drywall in it, or 8 foot 2x4s, 2 dirt bikes or a quad, with plenty of rooms for fuel cans, ramps, and a bunch of other stuff. It has 321,000 miles. I just replaced both the engine and transmission. It's an AZ truck with zero rust. I'm 64, and see no reason why this truck won't last the rest of my life. The so called "trucks" they make today are not only junk, but they are almost completely worthless as a truck even when they do run.

Not mentioned here (no reason for it), but I'm glad the Ford Courier pickup truck went the way of the Dodo Bird. I had the extreme displeasure of owning a '79 model with electrical problems. Here's the kicker: no factory electrical schematics existed. It was next to impossible to find two vehicles that were wired the same. Why did the Ford/Mitsubishi merger do that? I have no idea. Once that little Pinto with a bed started having electrical issues, they never stopped. It drove my mechanic nuts, and I certainly didn't have electrical experience back in those days. He eventually refused to touch it. I sold it off, quick! Excellent information on these newer trucks! Thank you for sharing!

Our 2014 Ram 1500 hasn't had any major issues up to this point, ganted it only has about 51,000 miles on the odometer. It was my granfather's truck and he passed in 2018. Before that one he had a 98 1500 that was pretty solid up until around 2013 when the right wheel bearing blew. I think the only other issue is had was it needed an O2 sensor and alternator at some point. The 2014 was built in Michigan and so was the 1998 I think, so I guess that's why both held up so well compared to the Mexican built ones.

I agree that not all of the new bells and whistles are necessarily bad (especially in situations like you experienced...glad you came out ok). But I just miss the simplicity of old vehicles. My brother in law just bought an '84 Land Cruiser (needs a LOT of work and assembly) but we were going through it last night and you at least feel like you can get the thing back on the road at some point even if it is in 100 pieces in his garage. These new vehicles you may as well forget even trying simple things unless you have all sorts of specialized tools and gadgets and specific knowledge. I don't know I guess I'm just getting old. I might actually disagree with you on the self driving car thing though...I mean if we're going to have these rolling computers then I'm all for it being able to drive for me on long boring trips up to the cabin and that sort of thing so I can read a book or take a nap. But I do admit it would be hard for me to really trust it...but if you think about it, how much can you really trust the humans out there that are driving?

All the "creature comforts" in the new vehicles are nothing but problems you'll have to fix if you keep your vehicles for any amount of time. That's why I'm still driving the only vehicle I ever bought new, a 1994 K1500 extended cab 4x4, Z71 with a 350 and 14 bolt rear axle. Sure, living in New England I recently did body work, made a custom bed, installed a 3/4-ton rear spring pack and replaced 40" of rotted frame with a channel I formed from 3/16" plate. I'm just lucky I have the skills and the facilities to work on it and make anything I need. I even reupholstered the seats and replaced the carpet with a fitted vinyl floor mat. The crazy thing is I have a 4" suspension lift, 35" tires, and I'm still on the original ball joints, tie rod ends, CV and U-Joints, wheel bearings with 289,000 miles. The only thing I had to do up until the recent repairs was at 260,000 I had to rebuild the 4L60E after losing 3rd and 4th gears. I'm going to keep buying older and older vehicles. After I'm done with the Chevy I have a decent condition '73 F250 4x4 I'm going through for a 2nd vehicle. The car companies can keep the junk they make today that cost as much as a damn mortgage payment! Keep up the great videos. I really enjoy them!
