Pitman Arm - Does this look right?
+1 on what he says. On the last pitman arm I did, I didn't feel like taking the sway bar off. I think I used a massive adjustable wrench with a jack handle on the end for leverage. I've never torqued a pitman arm either. My theory is if it is going to loosen up, it will do it on the way to the...- INW-Iron-Steel

I really wonder if 2004 was a changeover year, and some got them, while others did-not. Maybe it is an E85 thing too? My 2004 does not have one either, but some retailers list that one is possible. It has always piqued my interest.- INW-Iron-Steel

I pulled the driver blend door (temperature) actuator. The luck was good on this one, as that actuator is by far the easiest one to get at. I was going to slap an old actuator I had pulled out of the 93 burb in if it was the same. One of the levers for the mode had popped out of place on that...- INW-Iron-Steel

You're right, the "made no difference" part I was talking about was mainly in reference to the ac button not cycling the clutch. But, the parts I replaced are functioning as they should. I am just dealing with a multitude of problems that are just now rearing their heads. I jumped the low...- INW-Iron-Steel

Okay, unfortunate news. The new HVAC control made no difference. I pulled the HVAC fuse, re-installed, and then cycled the key 3 times. AC button does not engage the compressor. My fan shuts off when the knob is turned to "4" but operates on 3 and 5. I am also only getting hot air out of the...- INW-Iron-Steel

Getting after the AC on the Sierra and coming back to this thread for the re-sync procedure (thanks @Pauly1119). Here's some pictures of the progress so far. New clutch is on, which should be the most involved task. I found a really good video for the process on Youtube. I'll find the video and...- INW-Iron-Steel

I forgot to update this post. I've been buried in repairs/mods to other vehicles and it's not quite "hot" yet, so the AC on the Sierra has been on the back burner. Just finished up swapping the 93' to roller cam. Now I'm getting the 82' ready for a couple state road trip back home, which...- INW-Iron-Steel

Thanks for the info on this and the re-sync procedure! Do you happen to know of a source to GM service manual type literature on re-syncing the actuators? Not that I don't trust a fellow member, I just like to read up on a repair I've never done and try to get everything right the first time.- INW-Iron-Steel

Cateye article
GMT800s are sweet! I think they are the best trucks ever produced, but that's why we're all here right? I actually prefer the TBI stuff to the Vortec (5.7 Gen-1) stuff. In my opinion, TBI is like optimized carburetion where the Vortec GMT400s were early MPFI setups, and the kinks were still...- INW-Iron-Steel

Digging through the Auto Tech Rescue site, it looks like they only offer repair for the automatic ones. Darn. I'll keep looking, no rush, I just won't toss the old one when I replace it. Thanks for all the help guys!- INW-Iron-Steel

Looking at the Module Master website it looks like the only repair they offer is for the back-lighting, not for any of the "functional" parts. I wouldn't mind sending my current one out to be rebuilt after I get this OEM one installed. Any other possible rebuilders I could look into?- INW-Iron-Steel

Whoops, I totally jumped the gun! He told me he would go down to 345 when I messaged him so I just bought it. Lol, guess I just spent $5 more than I could have. I almost mentioned the $340, but I didn't want to risk pissing him off and missing out on it all together. Thanks again for finding it!- INW-Iron-Steel

I have heard they are more reliable as well. But, my sierra is now 21 years old with 265K and a lot of hours. Prior to my dad owning it, it was a shop truck for a steel business in Northern Idaho. Can't really blame it for calling it quits after all these years... Honestly, I have never heard...- INW-Iron-Steel

Oh ****, not bad for that OEM one! I will offer him on my Ebay and get that one! Thanks for finding it... your searching skills are obviously superior to mine! edit- I offered 340 and that offer was auto declined. I just sent a message, we'll see!- INW-Iron-Steel

pre-2003 class 2 radio swap into post 2003 truck
Couldn't agree more! Entry level stuff is seriously good and cheap these days! I pulled my nice Alpine setup out and slammed this Infinity HU in my 03 Mustang before I let my friend use it for a while. I overthink things and didn't want the car to get totaled and have someone not think about...- INW-Iron-Steel

I've been searching Ebay for years now! I know that sounds like a stretch, but from time to time I will find all the OE part numbers and just throw them in an Ebay search, but I haven't found anything good yet. Just a bunch of new no-name generic garbage. Good suggestion on the blend door...- INW-Iron-Steel

Does anyone know of a source other than Dorman to get HVAC controls from? Mine has been dying for a number of years, but it is getting worse now. A few years back my AC wasn't working. A friend of mine and I traced it back to the actual AC button/switch on the board in the HVAC control...- INW-Iron-Steel

My "mobile" set-up. I quite literally just unpacked this again last week. The worst part is how the drawers in my toolbox get wrecked anytime we move it. So much for organization... Sadly all my stickers are on the right, because back home it tucks nicely into a corner. It works for what I...- INW-Iron-Steel

2004 RCSB 4x4 - The Mail Truck
Trailer caused a large draw, and it is an issue with the trailer (I'd bet big money on that). Within the last few weeks I've had a couple other trailers hooked up overnight with no issues. Battery is less than a year old, replaced last summer. The previous Duralast (JC) went 8 years (dated...- INW-Iron-Steel
