my guess is one of two things is gonna happen now, your gonna have to share your ride with her... or buy her one...! good luck with that mr.p. lol

you wont be dissapointed, great temperment, and great compainions. if you do decide to get one, do your research and get one from a local breeder. these guys have a fair amount of health problems, but oh so worth it!

(the procedure didnt paste right, but start with the step that has u remove the hvac/ecas fuse). this procedure will recalibrate all the hvac actuators.its hard so say whats actually happening without havin a tech2 on it, but heres something quick n easy to try. keep me posted Alternate Method (w/o Scan Tool) <LI type=1>Clear all DTCs. <LI type=1>Place the ignition switch to the OFF position. <LI type=1>Install the HVAC actuator. <LI type=1>Connect all previously disconnected components. <LI type=1>Remove the HVAC/ECAS fuse for a minimum of 10 seconds. <LI type=1>Install the HVAC/ECAS fuse. <LI type=1>Start the vehicle. <LI type=1>Wait 40 seconds for the HVAC control module to self-calibrate. Verify that no DTCs have set as current DTCs.

thanks! my to-get list just got longer

is it manual or auto climate control?

these things are notorious for eating cycling switches. located on the side of the accumulator, pass side rear of engine compartment. hard so say for sure as we cant check the charge amount. but the switch is short money if you wanna just throw one in it.

she's beautifull man! here's my 14 month old male ,"Tank"

would it be possible to get a pic of one installed?

the trans temp sensor is part of the manual fluid pressure switch located on the bottom of the valve body. all 4l60-65e trans have em, but not all are wired for it,or have the guage in the cluster. as for installing an after market temp guage, i'm sure it can be done, i'm just not sure how those autometer guages are set up....

i've used it in customers vehicles and my own. never had a problem.

i'm not sure, i've heard you can put an air locker in em. that would be the way to go.

that is an 8.25"

you guys that are having trouble with your diffs stay locked or not locking when they're supposed to, pop the cover off and blow a few cans of brake cleaner into the clutches and the governer. let it air dry for 20 min, put the cover back on and refill it with gm's 75-90 synth and a bottle of limited slip additive.i've fixed upwards of 40 tucks with this same problem by doing that. fyi

the big plastic vent or an axle seal. more likely the vent, i've seen em loosten up and leak

i'm a tech at a GM dealership and can't remember the last tranny filter i changed as part of scheduled main. we just flush 14qts of fresh fluid into the trans via a machine that hooks into a cooler line. however do not let them run any flush chemicals through it, just new clean fluid, and you'll be fine.

here is a breakdown or your NVG149-NP3 transfercase. the viscous coupler you're replacing is #45. its a fairly simple job, no special tools required other than a pair of snap ring plies. there is a snap ring hidden behind a rubber plug in the tailshaft, other than that, she comes right apart. just remember to keep all components clean and dont use to much sealer on the case halves when u reassemble.

try selecting manual 2nd and see if it feels any better/different. the overrun clutch is applied in manual 2nd range, and if the 2-4 band is slipping, it may feel better. this isn't a fix obviously, just helps narrow down the prob. a common prob with these trannys is the the manual fluid pressure switch on the bottom of the valve body gets full of sediment. the result is delayed/late shifts that can be confused with slipping. def check fluid level,color,smell. that will tell ya if its actually slipping or not.

sounds like a dry u-joint to me man

the amount of work and re wiring involved would make this conversion pointless. transfercase control module would have to be added and wired into the ecm and encoder motor. encoder motor itself would have to be wired, and we're not talking about a few pwr and ground wires either, 6-8 at the encoder motor, and between 20-30 at the control module. plus the selector switch, witch is 7 or 8. possible? absolutely. practicle? i hope you've got a close friend who's a gm tech!

Mr. P is right, prob a bad 02 sensor. also you may want to consider having the ECM tuned by a custom tuner. the factory programing can't always compensate, especially when you start modifying stuff.

a higher ethanol content will not affect performance, but it will affect fuel economy. ethanol is roughly 8% less effecient than petroleum based fuels. more and more we see fuel with higher than 10% ethanol content in it. while a vehicles ecm can adjust injector pulse width and spark so u don't have any driveability problems, a side effect will be slightly lower gas mileage.

i work for GM and the new concept ss is just that, a concept. it was built with the ls7 427 but will probably never see production according to our avm. too bad, it's bad ass!
