@dcsteve7869 11 месяцев назад

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 11 месяцев назад

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.

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!

Great video. I love my 2008 Chey Avalanche 183000 miles and still running strong. I drive to work everyday very conservatively and consistently make between 17.5 and 18.5 mpg. About 550 miles between fill ups. Seeing how newer trucks are made my next vehicle will either be a 2013 Avalanche or 2014 Suburban.

I had a 1993 Chevy Silverado 1500, 6 cylinder. Bought it used in 1995. Drove it until August, 2018. Paid 0nly 4,500.00 for it. Never had any major engine problems with it, just normal repairs throughout the years. Guess I lucked out on that one. Gas mileage was great also. ⛽

@Dreson45 9 месяцев назад

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.

Scotty is behind the times. a 100 ohm resistor is required to clear a computer to prevent damage... and that is a VERY bad idea on many of the more current vehicles, regardless.

My neighbor was die hard Dodge so he owned several Rams over the years. He said that they just kept getting worse and worse. Eventually he had enough and bought an F-150. He said the Ford was better in about every way to the Dodge. Those older D100 trucks with the slant 6 were pretty solid but the new Rams are a symphony of problems. But I wouldn't touch an F-150 hybrid with an 11 foot pole.

So much power. 12-13mpg city and 17-18 highway. That's fine to me. And my favorite thing is the whole rear window rolls down. In SW Florida I use that every day. Beautiful truck.

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.
