Re: A/C compreesor clutch

DONE!

Took my father in law and I about 2 hours to do it. He had the vacum pump and had a friend who had a tank for the freon. blowing nice and cold air now.

Really was not that bad of a job. 1 more repair learned.

Re: A/C compreesor clutch

After reading the thread, I decided to go ahead, suck it up, sell the firstborn and replace the whole compressor.

A/C compreesor clutch

Driving home form the inlaws tonight, the A/C compressor started making a grinding sound. It quits when I turn the air off. I'm hoping it's just the clutch and not the entire compressor.

Question is: Is the clutch easy to replace? Any special tools needed?

Re: problems in overdrive

Thanks for the feedback. One more question on this, do you think a faulty TPS could cause this problem. (My check engine light is on, but its that annoying P410 or 401 code.)

The idle is fine and I have not had a chance to get with the dad in law to use his scanner, but what do ya think?

by PATRICKH

Re: problems in overdrive

Going to try the filter change this weekend. Trans was rebuilt about 15,000 miles ago. $1,900. If that does not help, going to the shop. AGAIN.............Guess that is expected for 150,000 miles.

Hey guys, any ideas on what would cause a, I guess you would call it a surging or I guess it could evenbe a slipping sensation in overdrive at about 60 to 70 mph.

Nothing else to add that has not already been said.

Just a thought.........

I was driving home from work on Interstate 71 north in Boone County KY at around 7:20 pm (eastern time) and passed a Blue or Black CC. Got to wondering if it may have been any of you fellow members?

Anyone??

Is this fuse located in the fuse panel under the hood? the only one I can find that looks remotely related to it is the ENG 1. Or is it another one?

Nice shot. Quick kill.

I had our processor mix several lbs of the burger with sausage a couple of years ago and it was GOOD!.

by PATRICKH

He did say that was a worst case scenario.

Anyway, went with the AC Delco rapid fire plugs.

by PATRICKH

Oh BTW, the guy I talked to at Oreilly said that they are not reccommending the E3 plugs for stock engines. By that he meant that unless you are running a modified air intake and exhaust system, (guessing more airflow?) the E3 plugs produce too hot a spark and can possibly burn a piston. Just wanted...

by PATRICKH

Be sure to read Warning Plastic Distributor Cap.

GREAT, I read this just after I finished installing my cap/rotor.

by PATRICKH

My question here is, has anyone done it and how much does it cost.

Still running the stock wheels (not the zr5's) but am interested in powdercoating them

Saw it done in this month's issue of 4 wheel and off road

by PATRICKH

Thanks to all. Sorry, right hand threaded is what I meant.

Yeah, got it put back together and it's back on the road after he let it sit for about a year. Got to share my limited knowledge with a newb.

Thanks again.

2000 silverado Fan clutch removal

I know this is a non Crew cab question but need your help. Got a friend witha 2000 silverado withthe 5.3. Needs to replace the water pump and needs to remove the fan clutch. The nut holding the fan clutch to the pump, are these reverse thread ?

That's kinda what I thought.

Funny you mention bowling, WileyHunter

That's what we did last night!

I need to replace mine (the rears) they work only when they want to.

by PATRICKH

Be warned though (as Henry J hinted but I think it's a very important point) ... do NOT lie directly below the filter as you are taking it off. Unless you really enjoy having fuel all over your face and the taste in your mouth. Guess how I know this :shock: :D DITTO. learned the hard way. :oops:

Anyone tried the E3 plugs?

Why is it that these A**holes think that they have to do this kind of crap all the time. :twisted: We have a dragstrip near here that has been open since the 40's and the idiots that moved in next to it started complaining about the noise and are trying to shut it down. :cry: Getting tired ...

by PATRICKH

What type of transmission do our CCs have?

And please don't say automatic.

by PATRICKH

Yeah, saw several Cragars I liked. They will be mainly for street use, still driving the truck 300 miles a week to work.

by PATRICKH

Yeah, I think we'd all like to have a set of th zr5 wheels. (those of us who don't)

Any other ideas ?

by PATRICKH

Wheels

Looking to put a new set of wheels on the CC. Was wondering if any one had any favorites. I was partial to American Racing Equipment (worked there for 5 yrs) but don't really like the selection they have.

Pics would be helpful if you have any.

Thanks

by PATRICKH

Light bar

Does anyone know if anyone makes a bed mounted light bar for the CC.

If not, how about a good roof mounted one?

by PATRICKH

Looks great. How's the sound?

Take their advice on the rebuild/reman. I had mine rebuilt a couple years ago and one of the things replaced was a detonated sun-shell. And I do mean detonated! It is a weak spot. The sun shell went out on mine as well. Go for the rebuild. Peace of mind, warranty, ect, ect. Sucks paying out $1,800 ...

by PATRICKH

I have replaced the hardware kit on mine. New slides, clips, seals for the slides. Not a big deal to do. I do it on my truck and my wifes car every other brake job.

by PATRICKH

The casino where I work in Indiana has one other employee that has one. He parked next to mine and I had to do a double take to see which one was mine.

Guess that means I need to get busy and do some more mods to mine huh?

by PATRICKH

Oops............ My bad. LOL

by PATRICKH

Wow. I mean wow. that is scary. Looks like something you'd see here in KY

by PATRICKH

Don't risk buying one from NAPA. Their pumps are poor. Junk may be more appropriate. Buy Genuine AC Delco. Check Rockauto for good pricing. Spend a little more and do it once, or go cheap and replace it over and over. Couldn't agree more. I had to do mine last year. What sucked the most was I lived...

by PATRICKH

Checked fuses. All good there. As soon as the snow storm here stops, I'll take it to a different shop and have the codes read again to see where that leads. Thanks

OMG dude! I am really sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you. Lost a friend several years ago in a very similar situation. He left behind a wif and 4 kids.

Again, very sorry for your loss.

by PATRICKH

Ok, STUPID QUESTION ALERT!

Do you have to do anything if you put in an aftermarket unit ?

by PATRICKH

The theftloc is the only code I know of. But I'm still a newb to these crew cabs.

by PATRICKH

My wife's malibu does the same thing. It's a design thing. Your brake lights override the hazard lights. Not an issue, just made that way.

by PATRICKH

Good choice on the front plate though.

Got back under today and looked. Nothing there. Cool beans. Thanks for the answers.

Leak???

What would be leaking on the passenger side, just under the seat? Noticed a wet area on the torsion bar when I was changing oil.

Short on time and have not had time to look.

Brake lines? I know the fuel line runs down the driver side, but does the return line run down the pass. side?

by PATRICKH

Cool, thanks.

by PATRICKH

Thank you, I was wondering what my 2001 CC would sound like. Pretty sweet!

Anyone use them to rebuild your master cylinder? Seems like a good deal, that's why I'm concerned.

Good idea anytime you do the brakes, to go ahead and get the hardware kit too, the good ones have all the pins, boots and seals you need.

New starter ?

How much of a bitch is the starter to replace ? Don't have access to a lift, can I do it on ramps or Jackstands.

On a side note, bought a house with 3 car garage, so NOW i have a place to work on the truck.

by PATRICKH

Thanks. It's higher than I thought. I'll check the hitch too, to be sure

by PATRICKH

towing ?

What is the towing capacity for a 2001 CC ?

It has a class 3 reciever hitch already installed.

Wiring connectors are there too, just need to know how much.

Cat back systems

Thinking about upgrading the exhaust with a cat back system (don't have the skills, budget, place to work for a complete system) so I'll start there.

Friends are suggesting Gibson, Borla, Heartthrob, Dynomax, ect. Anyone have any preferences ?
