    A/C only blows out of floor vents, how to fix?

    Is there a servo somewhere under the dash perhaps? I thought it sounded like the flaps were struggling to change position a few months back, now all I get is floor - no matter what I have the fan direction selector dialed to. ps. I changed the blower motor/fan/resistor/relay last winter, so...

    How hard is it to replace A/C system?

    oh it's empty alright. compressor sprung a leak so big I could charge the system and have it last 2 days, spraying crud all over the bottom of the hood while it bleeds out.

    How hard is it to replace A/C system?

    [1995 2WD Sierra 1500, 6Cyl. VIN Z] I need to replace my A/C system, it has been empty and useless for a couple years now. I can't afford what my mechanic wants to charge, and he said I shouldn't attempt to do it myself. I think he just wants all my money... how hard is it, really? Sure, I'm...

    desperate for truck. flying to texas.

    Alright, I made it back to NC in one piece after a bone-rattling ride back home. The tires are ridiculous! Told my wife it felt like riding on a vibrating exercise ball... Anyway, against better judgement, I took it to a shop my in-laws recommended and I'm glad I did. It was more than pads I...

    Hey, I actually would like to know where to find a reputable tire place with a big selection in the Plano area. Figure I should invest in some new ones before setting off and risking a blowout on the interstate. They say the tires are 12 yrs old, and if it's been sitting... sent from the...

    OK... back with an update and some corrections: Turns out this truck is NOT the W/T version, but is a RC/SB Sierra. Also, truck did not need a starter, it only needed a mere battery cable! $35 buck repair. But, as you see from the attached photo - this fella needs some new tires, so...

    Well, I see your point - but this is a family of lawyers who aren't really hurting financially. They have enough vehicles and were going to donate it to a charity for needy kids. I guess they found a needy kid.

    so, how crazy does this sound? in-laws are giving me a 1994 GMC 1500 W/T, 3" lift. been in the family since new. 160K miles. no rust. keep in mind this is the lowly RCLB 4.3 V6 bone stock. ... and here's the catch: hasn't been driven in months, it needs a starter, and it is 1,200 miles...
