This one doesn't have the rear vents either, except the ones under the seat. My old truck had the center counsel so it had the vents built into them.

Yeah that's how my 02 was as well, luckily my passengers don't bitch lol

I remember getting into the 1999 when my parents first bought it, and being impress with the rear vents and all the other features it had. It was my parents first pickup too.

Do the rear vents work on all settings or only on the floor setting? I usually roll around with the heat on the windshield because I don't like heating blowing in my face, so would the rear seat passengers be getting any heat on defrost setting?

I've only checked mine between the floor, and dash setting. Mine only work when I have the airflow set to come out of the dash vents.

put a fuel injector in a new yukon and just dealing with a slow shop

Got my axle shaft (driver's side) replaced last night. I had no luck getting the flange out to replace the axle seal so I'll have to tackle that another day. Now the truck rolls a lot quieter especially in 4wd. No more clicking. The new shaft where it mounts to the flange was a different design compared to factory but bolted right up without any issues. I was so glad it came with a new axle nut that included the washer. Just a pain to torque it down but all went pretty slick. Next up is the rear shocks.

Monroe OE Spectrum Light Truck. When I first bought the truck I HAD to replace the front since they were toast and I am pretty happy with them so I figured to give them a shot for the rear too. I would of liked to get the Monroe Load Adjusting shock but they're pretty pricy and don't think I need all that.

I finally drove her since last Wednesday and as a gift she had two pretty bad fuel leaks from the fuel pressure regulator. The first was when I first started her this morning which I was slow to notice so a ton of fuel was lost. I then began to drive out of the complex and she was leaking again!

 

After that I managed to make it to work but I think I'm going to buy a new FPR since this one might be bad, or at least the O ring is.

 

I can't imagine why GM thought that this FPR design was logically sound.

I find myself asking that question about hundreds of different GM designs ...

Yes but this is potentially a safety risk with the fuel leaking directly onto the headers and other hot parts, along with the general mess that it makes. It's pretty aggravating.

I drove mine to visit my Fiancé at her internship. Thinking of calling a guy about putting a tint strip on the windshield.

Changed my drivers side light bulb. Surprisingly not bad at all. Had to remove the washer bottle fluid bolt so I could get my hand in there.

Ordered my new rear shocks from Advance, they're "suppose" to be here tomorrow. Also stopped by local salvage yard...again...this time I found the driver's door courtesy light/reflector housing. $10, works for me as I priced them out at $40 online. The housing was missing when I bought the truck...surprise, surprise.

    • Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?  
    • Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.  
    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
    • I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
