Doing some work today

[RyanbabZ71]

Well today i got a pkg by UPS!!!  It was my www.partszoneonline.com order.  I ordered monday and it was here early today (friday)

 

I changed out one tailgate cable (it was bent and better be on the safe side by changing it now than be sorry later)

 

PVC and cabin air filter are going in after i eat lunch.  Tom ill let you know if i hear any funny noises with the new pcv

I have some pics from the tech article / guide i sent in on the cabin air filters, if you need them.   :thumb:

no way man i have already changed them once.  

 

I just figured winters coming why not change em (been over a yr   )

[RyanbabZ71]

wow cabin filter was FILTHY.  Also lots of leaves in there

 

I would suggest if its been longer than a yr since you changed it to change it!

[MountaineerTom]

Now that I think about it, I think I remember you mentioning changing them once before.

What is the part number? What did it cost?

 

Thanks,

[RyanbabZ71]

part Number: 52485513

 

$16.39 (for 2 which it requires 2)

 

I bought from the dealer last time and it was like $33  

 

Also Tom i dont have any wierd noises since i put in the new pcv

[MountaineerTom]

Hmm, maybe mine wasn't sealed good in the grommet or the hose.  I don't remember off hand if the PCV's were different lengths.  

 

For those wondering what Ryan is talking about, I had a whistling noise with the new "fixed orifice" PCV, but not the old one.  I changed them out a time or two, and each time the new one whistled, but the old one didn't.   ???

is the cabin air filter basically designed to filter air inside when you have windows rolled up a/c or heat on? how well do you guys really think it works? is gm the only company that uses them?
