I have a 2002 CC with 230K miles on it. Bought in brand new off the show room floor. Still have the original heater core. I did have to replace the AC compressor, orifice tube and dryer this weekend due to the compressor failed.

Don't know if you have gremlins or not..

Bad AC Compressor. Don't know what p/n is on my compressor.

Rock Auto has a GPD 9611637 in a kit that contains the orifice tube, accumulator, and all gaskets for $153.

Is this the right kit for my truck?????

2002 CC with 220K miles.

TIA

The vacuum switch itself only goes in one way. It screws in. It has three nipples on the top with the key. The trick is to connect the hose connector to the transfer case switch so that the key on the switch goes into the hole on the hose connector. It is easily misaligned and causes this issue. If ...

okaussiee

The vacuum switch that sits on top of the transfer case is what switches vacuum to the front axle actuator . The connector to this switch is KEYED. If it is put on the transfer case incorrectly, ( it is real easy to do), the vacuum from the source would go to the front axle actuator in 2WD. There ar...

Thanks for the info. I still haven't done it yet but am still wanting to. I was just afraid that it would bottom out in the differential and tear something up. Since the outer end is attached to the CV axle shaft, I didn't see that end as a problem. When I get to it, I will let you all know how mine...

okaussiee

Since you have done this, how does the axle shaft stay in place without moving from side to side? I have also read where the shaft is 1/8 inch too long in the diff and has to be cut off. Was this true in your case?? I am still thinking about doing the swap and want to have all the bases covered befo...

okaussiee

Bump..

Surely someone out there knows of a better one than the plastic OEM cover..

okaussiee

That is what I am thinking too. It is rounded on one side of the teeth and sharp on the other which would give you reverse but not drive. The clicking sound I hear and feel in the right front tire tells me that in drive it is not engaging but it reverse it locks like it is suppose too. Based on all ...

okaussiee

_STUCKY I Pm'd you. Did you get it??

Bill

okaussiee

It has been replaced. My problem is, I only have 4wd in Reverse not in Drive. When I try to lock the right front wheel in, rotating the wheel in Reverse, it turns a little then stops like it should. When turning it in Drive, I can feel it clicking and can hear it clicking real soft. When I try using...

okaussiee

Yeah, I would like to go with the Bravada just because that would eliminate more moving parts to fail, and get rid of the entire vacuum system.

I will try your suggestion and see what turns up.

After looking at all the possibilities, I am leaning toward the rebuilding the front axle disconnect and keep it OEM. Here is why: I have been looking here in OkieLand and can't find the axle shaft. Can't find a new one online except for the one from Outfitter Design. That one is $318 and includes t...

okaussiee

I had a thought. I saw this on the s10 forum website. The split axle shaft was welded together by welding the sleeve to both gears, thus making it one shaft. My question would be, is it stronger and more reliable with this method vs, just welding the two shafts together without the sleeve??? If I ca...

okaussiee

I will report back when I do it. It may be a while due to funding and the ability to find the axle shaft. Other forums state I don't have to use the Bravada axle tube, just the shaft. All of those parts are interchangeable. We will see. If it is more reliable and cheaper than to rebuild the front ax...

okaussiee

I agree with the vacuum problem. I have had so many problems with my 4wd system and everything has about been replaced at least once so I thought the Bravada Axle Swap would be next. My CC now has over 210K miles on it and bought in new in 02. Seems like everyone likes the swap. My only question was...

okaussiee

I have a quick question about the Bravada Axle Swap. What keeps the Bravada axle shaft in place without sliding between the differential and the CV axle??? On the original axle disconnect you have the small axle with the gear that sits in the diff and the axle shaft to the CV joint keeps it there. A...

I just checked the Weather Tech and they still carry the front mats for the 4wd version.

.2002 Chevrolet S-10 Pickup _ Floor Mats - Laser measured floor mats for a perfect fit _ WeatherTech.com

okaussiee

It is Weather Tech. Some people have tried to use it on other versions of the S-10 but it won't work due to the floor configuration in the passenger front floor board.

I am thinking about getting them too.

okaussiee

I see you have a BadLand winch on the front. What size is it, have you used it yet and what do you think of it??

I have a 12000lb on my 02 CC and have used it very little. I do like it and it was cheap..

Bill

Mine, too, turned out to be the relay. Went to NAPA by my house to get one and they hard a difficult time finding it, but they did and it fixed it.

If anyone is interested is it part number AR176 at NAPA. Cost me 19.69 plus tax..

In my case, the third brake light is out and the ones on the bed are on all the time. The only way for them to go out is to remove the fuse. I, too, replaced the brake light switch with no results. My cruise control does disengage when I tap the brake pedal. This tells me the new switch is good. How...

My '02 is leaking oil really bad due to a leak on the timing chain cover gasket. Since the original cover is plastic, I have heard they are junk. Would like to put a metal one on there if it is better and will last longer.. I see Summit Racing has some that are metal. What would be the best after ma...

okaussiee

I totally agree. The only reason I took it there in the first place last year was because they did good work on my wife's 2002 Chrysler Sebring. And the shop that usually does my work recommended them since they don't do tranny's. I took it there this time is due to it was still under warranty. Only...

okaussiee

My 4WD didn't work again. Just like the last time they repaired my tranny. So I crawled under and found, what appears to be a rebuilt tranny, not mine rebuilt but another rebuilt. This one had gray paint on the pan and housing. Think that this time, rather than trying to repair it themselves, the pu...

Just got my CC back yesterday. No Charge. I asked them what had happened and they told me they didn't know but it was low on fluid. I told them that I had two quarts in on the way to their shop to see if it would fix the issue and they said it was still low. They told me that the input seal to the T...

Don't remember the miles on mine, but do know that I purchased it brand new in 2001 (a 02 model) it died in 2010, 2016,2016 all with the same problem. The truck now has over 209k miles on it. I just dropped it off this morning. Don't know anything yet. I did reenforce the fact they told me yesterday...

Was driving my CC today at highway speed and, what appears to be, the 3-4 clutch toasted. Only have first and second gear. This happened in 2010, then in 2015 and now one year later. This time, however is supposed to be under warranty so it shouldn't cost anything. The work has been done by two diff...

okaussiee

Sounds to me like it is electrical in the distributor. Ignition module. Starts good when cold and when it gets warm a component or wire opens up due to the heat thereby causes your problem.

I would sure look into the electrics part first.

Good luck and keep us posted

Mine never throws it except highway speeds at or above 60mph. I can drive in town at slow speeds all day long and it never throws it. I go out on the highway and it shows up within 15 minutes. I reset the codes and wait, it only shows up only under the condition listed above. The truck still runs sm...

It was an independent shop. It is a rebuilt Delphi unit. They programmed it. They first tried one from the bone yard and my truck wouldn't even start. So they bought the Delphi unit and it started right up then went in and programmed it. It just seems funny not ever having these errors then all the ...

okaussiee

I drove it for about 2 hours straight. City stop and go driving as well as highway at speeds of 70mph. No errors what so ever. In Oklahoma everything is flat, no inclines. It only happens after warming up and running highway speeds. Never cold and never in city driving at 35mph. As I said earlier, I...

This new code just showed up today. p0135 02 sensor heater circuit. Now I have two codes that never showed up until the ECM was replaced. I checked the timing advance and is between 12 and 17 degrees. I am thinking of taking it back to the shop that programmed it to see if they missed something. It ...

okaussiee

I have something similar. Mine throws the code after about 45 minutes of highway driving. Then goes away, the reappears. The difference in mine is, is that mine did not start this until my ECM was replaced. All the other codes and issues went away after the ECM was replaced, and now I have this, whi...

I think that Summit Racing has one for about $800. Too rich for my blood..

I will check Gibson..

Every place I have checked, Rock Auto, Advance Auto Parts, O Reilly's, NAPA, etc., all sell the Spectre and all for about the same price with the same guarantee. Makes me think that is the only vendor out there and we are stuck with it. I am going to take a look at it this weekend. Looks like, based...

I replaced my radiator in July 2011. My mechanic tells me it is leaking. Bought it at Advance Auto Parts, suppose to have a lifetime warranty. Want to verify it is REALLY leaking. My question is, What is a good dye or chemical to mix with water to check it for leaks? Then, if it is leaking, dependin...

okaussiee

Good thought. But it would be 50/50 at best it would be something NOT made by Dorman..

Bill

okaussiee

By the way, I live in Moore, Oklahoma, ground ZERO for tornadoes and have alot of GM Choices here.

Bill

okaussiee

I totally agree with the quality. When I get my CC back on Wednesday, I am going to replace the radiator. Then I will start looking for the transfer case switch, radiator, etc from other vendors to see what, if any, is out there. If I have to spend more money for better quality, then so be it. It wi...

All the ones I have seen are in the "HELP" display in the autoparts stores. They are all the Dorman variety. My mechanic told me Friday that they are having a hard time in finding good replacement parts these days. Example, They purchased a Rebuilt ECM for my truck and it wouldn't even start. They h...

okaussiee

Have a question. Does anyone else but Dorman make the vacuum transfer case switch?? On my 2002 CC I have been replacing mine about every two years due to it going bad and sucking fluid into the vacuum lines. I am getting mine back from the shop this week due to three things, the ecm went bad after 2...

okaussiee

That is what I thought.

BTW, found the noise was coming from the Blower Motor. Found out by removing its fuse. Glad it was so simple. Now the real work begins in replacing it.

TIA

Just got my CC back from the shop. Had the tranny rebuilt again. One week later I have a noise, sounds like it is coming from the instrument cluster. It sounds like when you put a playing card on your bike spokes. However, it does not increase with speed. It starts making the noise around 15mph . Ne...

Mine is mounted on a Westin Brush Guard. I bought it at Harbor Freight and purchased the universal mount for it. My shop retrofitted it to the Westin and works really well there. Hopefully I can take some pics to put up for you..

My thoughts exactly. From his website he looked like he knew what he was doing. I guess that what you get when you go with the cheapest. Most of the time it is not the best. I guess I am a cheapskate at heart..

I just spent almost $2300 on my 2002 today. The 2/3 clutch was burnt out of the tranny. If you look under my former name (okaussie) you can find out about its history. Looks like the former tranny guy used substandard parts. The new guy also told me that there were score marks on the inside like eve...

I would take a piece of vac hose and attach it from a vacuum source directly to the front wheel actuator under the battery. Raise up the right front wheel, start it up, put it in 4WD. Then check the front driveshaft to see if it is locked. If it is, then check the right front wheel for the same thin...

I have an 02 bought brand new in 01. Now has over 200k on it. At 160K the tranny blew some clutches due to no fluid. Had the tranny rebuilt and found that the front seal of the transfer case was bad and sucked all the fluid out of the tranny and into the transfer case. Like you I had no visible sign...
