Find a Tahoe or Burban with rear AC at a junk yard. I saw a few at Chuck and Eddie's pick and pull a couple days ago Southington CT. AKA Michael's Auto Parts- Dirty Bird

I think the biggest problem people have is when they mix the two different types of antifreeze together. This is where the problems start. Dex-cool was developed mainly for engines with aluminum components- Dirty Bird

Can we agree to disagree then? Dex Cool along with other organic acid antifreezes are not glycol based....- Dirty Bird

GM TSB 00-06-02-006 is just one of many TSBs on the subject. I also had a fleet of Astro Vans at one point. They all started doing the same thing after we had switched from Dexcool to the green (Glycol based)- Dirty Bird

Vortec engine/ stock GM intake manifold gaskets are not green antifreeze friendly. It turns them into jelly causing them to leak, sometimes into the cylinders then causing O2 sensors to throw codes. If you replace gaskets with quality brand like felpro you will be fine with either. If you have...- Dirty Bird

Rough idle, P0300, Help!
Had an Astro van with similar problem. Turned out to be a bad distributor. It was made of ABS plastic and wobbled around a lot after a hundred K or so miles. Also needed intake manifold gaskets because I used regular antifreeze instead of Dex Cool. Regular antifreeze ate through Factory intake...- Dirty Bird

Unusual brake light problem. Please help
For some reason I thought I read in one of your earlier post that you were able to get it to work by pushing in on the new brake switch? The circuit for the tail light also goes through the directional switch as well as hazard. Unless of course you have a European model that has Amber...- Dirty Bird

Auxiliary fan - purpose.
Hole to the right of the plate is for the spare tire drop/removal unless you have 25 gallon fuel tank with spare mounted inside. Factory exhaust should exit right rear not the back. I have seen models with single 3in or dual 2.5 exiting right rear behind wheel.- Dirty Bird

Check the brake light switch trigger Pin (or stud) at the top of the brake pedal just below the pivot pin if it is bent or loose it will cause the whole assembly to move forward and backward and not trigger the brake lamp.- Dirty Bird
