Hi Guys, I am having problem with my Heater on a Yukon 2000 SUV, I have replaced the thermostat and flashed the Core, The core was clean and nothing in there.

there is enough coolant in the cooling system, What else can it be?

All this happened after i replaced the fuel pump, to replace the fuel pump i had to disconnect the battery, and i think it has something to do with that, but not sure what.

I check all fuses and they all look ok as well

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

I knew a Heather I'd like to have had a problem with. Blond hair, green eyes you could get lost in... and tiny little waist and cute wiggle when she walked and giggle when she talked.

I went out with a Heather a few times. She had a short fuse so I didn't check it often. As I recall, I always enjoyed flashing her core! :loser:

Sounds like she rejected your software. :loser:

So this is what I did and still it below medim warm air, it is hoter then outside, but it is lukewarm, I took 3 fuses out ,HVAC under the dashboard, HVAC FR and HVAC BK, let the car sit for a good 15 to 20 minutes, put the fuse back in, start the car, let it run for good 2 to 3 minutes , turn off the car remove key open door and close, still just warm air, not hot, it is like 75 or so.

What else can it be?

 

Thanks

So your heater worked flawlessly before you disconnected the battery for the fuel pump replacement? Plenty of heat coming out? If so, I'd try the procedure again. This time disconnect the battery. Let it sit. Then re-connect. Turn the key on. Don't start it. Don't attempt to adjust any controls. Let the HVAC do whatever it wants to do. Just stay hands off. Wait a couple of minutes. Key off. You can try the key out and open and close the door thing. Then try starting it and taking it for a spin. Sometimes the procedure may need to be performed a couple of times. Someone with a Tech 2 can do the calibration for you.

 

You could have a blend door that has failed.

 

Is your engine running at the normal position on the temp gauge as it always has?

I took the car to a repair shop and he could not fix it, but he told he had a scan tool and he can turn on the heater with the scan tool, he says the temp in the car show's 104 so that is why the heater will not come on, but on his scan tool he does not have an option to reset the Hvac,

he tells me to take it to the dealer, any idea why it would sens wrong temp?

I will try to do batter trick when I get home

Thanks a millon guys, the battery trick did it.

I use the battery method. Hasn't failed me yet.

 

Note: Anytime you disconnect the battery, follow the steps to let the calibration run its course.

      I thought I was building a HD 3500 srw, maybe I was lost.

      Which 2027 engine will you choose?

      No doubt, I definitely agree with you. However, considering the 6.2 and 3.0 have been catastrophically failing with very little miles, I figured I would put trouble free. I’m at 18,4xx and still not a single issue.

      It’s never dry here but it gets hot. My 4 vehicles I keep at home drive an 18 mile loop. One 6 days a week. Two about 3 days each and one once a month. Only one goes on trips about 4 times a year 1000 to 2000 miles each time. One 26 years old gets driven once a month for 22 years. One 14 years old goes 6 days a week. The other two are recent at 2 and 4 years. All are performing normal no extra service other than that would be half of recommended or severe service in the maintenance manual. No extra water or steam out the exhaust or premature plug wear. I would consider an 18 mile loop would be enough. So apparently once a month at 18 miles for 22 years has kept the collector car running well. About 45 minutes a month.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By newdude · Posted

      It is working as designed.  NHT and non NHT trucks have the same exact transmission cooling setup.  NHT just gets a larger radiator.     The transmission cooler loop on these is as follows.     -Transmission out goes into an oil to water heat exchanger (item #1 in the first illustration below).  This exchanger has engine coolant opposite the transmission fluid and uses engine coolant to warm and then regulate the transmission fluid temperature when its in the operating window.   - From the cooler it goes to a thermal bypass valve (item #11 in the 2nd illustration below).  If the ATF has not reached the temp to open the bypass (194F), it loops back.   - When it reaches 194F, the thermostat opens and ATF then flows out to the oil to air auxiliary cooler (item #17 in the 2nd illustration) at the front of the truck.  From there it goes back to the transmission.     Your only fix would be to swap for the PPE thermal bypass delete block which will open the loop to the aux cooler all the time.  It will STILL run warm, probably 170-200F, but that's as low as you'll get it as its still flowing through the oil to water exchanger.

      Most say the oil temperature needs to above the boiling point of water to rid it of moisture and long enough to dry it. Many think that is about a hour at 212 F or more. Those people have never line dried cloths in a Midwest winter. Leave a pan of water sitting on the counter and eventually it all evaporates. So heat drives the time it takes. Water in oil under 175 F, the Nitration initiation temperature, is a minimum then for temperature and samples I've done that use Karl Fisher method say about a hour (in a healthy well tuned motor) over 175 F will dry it to under 800 ppm. Low enough to not be much of a factor. Motors with weak rings will take longer and the colder the air temperature the longer it takes.   On a cold motor there is also the condensation temperature. Blowby gases that contain moisture are subject to that cold cylinder wall, like sweat on a glass of ice tea. But also subject to the Law of Partial Pressures. Wear studies by GM and the DOD  indicate wear is a real issue below 85 F and a concern to 140 F but doesn't become a minimal factor until about 160 F. You know this intuitively when you see water vapor exit the exhaust pipe until the system gets above the dew point. It isn't magic, it's physics and it fascinates me. I know you didn't ask but....I over share sometimes. 😉    You keep the Camaro's high and tight.
