Yea it’s down to 25* right now. I get to park in a heated garage at work so it’s nice and warm in the morning when I leave. There are so many components with the heating and cooling system, I’d rather pay someone than throw money at it and still have a problem.

Well I went to the dealer a week ago and let them take a look at my HVAC problem. They tried to recalibrate it, but didn’t have any luck. They wanted $480 for a new ACDelco part and recalibration. I said screw that and asked for the part number they were going to use. I bought the same one off Summit Racing for $138 and installed it a few nights ago. Recalibrated it myself and I HAVE HEAT!! Couldn’t have waited much longer because it’s been in the single digits at night lol.
Lesson learned, just use OEM replacement parts next time lol.

Was it the blend door that is right above the transmission hump, or the one deeper in the dash?
I had high heat only on the driver side in my 2004 Yukon XL and it was the one right above the transmission hump. Had to do the recal as well and then all was well. I've heard that you almost need to tear the entire dash out to do the other one.

Nothing much to report lately except some general maintenance items. I threw on a new set of pads & rotors in the front. I’d say the old ones were just about shot lol.

Bought some cheap LED backup lights off Amazon a few weeks ago. They aren’t the brightest, but they’re better than stock. My phone wouldn’t really catch the difference between the two.
While I was at it, I installed a new washer reservoir tank because the old one was leaking. Got it all back together and the new one was leaking too so it has to be a line somewhere. Now I have to tear it all out again.

Bought some new Fel Pro valve cover gaskets a few weeks ago and finally got around to changing them out. Also gave her her first oil change while I was at it.
Within in the next few weeks I think I’m going to buy a new water pump/thermostat and intake manifold gaskets. I’ve been losing coolant and I wasn’t sure where it was going. There’s some leakage around the water pump, but tonight I found a little inside the oil fill cap. So I have a feeling I know where the coolant is going, which is weird because there wasn’t any in the oil when I drained it tonight.

The moisture inside the oil fill cap is normal. It is the highest point in the crankcase so its going to have condensation there.
Its prolly just water pump and maybe check the T fittings on the heater hose at the firewall. Sometimes those will drip some and evaporate on the the engine.
