Alright, so it’s been a long time since a wrote in this topic, but later I found out that the auto does work., my truck didn’t come with the dual zone control and after installing the one with the dual, realize what a lot of people have done after me., installing regardless if it doesn’t work. But as I said the auto does work on my truck when turn the fan off and press the auto it comes on and turn gradually as it gets to the temperature set., now I’m on the quest of continue with this upgrade. After doing a full 16 front conversion, adding the ac/heat oem leather seats to my cloth heated seats, fully unlock my HMI adding the flip down screen and having it fully functioning as factory thanks to @pgamboa and @GTPprix. I believe that the only module requires to program is the HVac module., after obviously added the required harness, sensors and etc. I have successfully swap my non leather dashboard to a HC leather dashboard and taking apart the whole dashboard I feel confident that this might doable. The real failure will be not to try. So I’m going to take my time on this one and after @GTPprix is not as busy as he’s now I might send him my module to program it. If thats an option.lol. 

Victor,

 

Wondering if you ever got the entire thing working?  I am very interested in doing the conversion .  I want to get the auto climate control to work but I dont need the dual climate function, just single to work.     I am thinking many of the innerds of the system need to be changed to get the DUAL climate to work, but maybe if I care only about a single climate control only a couple of other items need changing

 

Control module 13591693 perhaps?  

 

BTW, I also get the 'auto' button to work.   Just as you described, if you turn the HVAC unit completely off by pushing the fan button then click on the 'auto' button it does turn it on in auto mode.  Does not seem to control the fan speed  100% correctly but its real close to working correctly. Temp seems to be controlled ok.    And it switches from Dash air for cold to bottom air for heat which is what it should be doing.  damn close!

 

I am going to try the inner control module 13591693 as I describe above which is the one for the auto temp control.   It might just be what is needed.  I'll report back.   What I dont know is where this module is located!   If anyone knows, please let me know.

Did switching the inner control module work for you?  I just want to be able to control the fan speed manually as well as the temperature.

Pretty cool upgrade.  Would be nice if the dual was already set up.  Still cool.

So I have been following and thinking about doing this for a while and I think I'm gonna try something slightly different by taking the control out of a canyon/Colorado since they have single zone auto. I can get a new controller for like $90 so I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on that, if nothing else it'll look nicer than the base.

Forgot to mention that I have an 18 dashboard with all the ducts needed and the harnesses that I might use for my truck., so the most important one will be the module. I wonder what the RPO for the dual zone climate control is or if it’s actually one. Will come back with the result once I find out more about it.

So I just got the dual ac module for my 2017 Silverado regular cab WT and currently experiencing the same issues as stated about saying that the auto doesn’t work and dual control either and I expected this but I at least wanted the passenger one to be synced so both numbers could be the same when I adjust the driver side nobe(it is currently stuck on 72) so do you think if I were to find someone with a dual climate control system and plug mine in and set it on sync it will stay like that when I move it back to mine? Mine also does not blow to max with this new module, it only goes to the one before max.

Did you try it and did it work? Thinking of doing this myself if it’ll work.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.

      Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉

      I gotta say, I'm enjoying your narration. The troubles you've been having are amusing as you describe them. It's good to see that you're finally getting some satisfaction out the old beast though.

      Declaring victory would upset the demons that possess this Blazer, so I won't. But I did make progress today--after it put up a fight. Always a fight.   I had the day off so I spent the morning cleaning up the shop and I thought I'd get ahead of things by filling the cooling system in prep for the final part I needed to arrive: the driver's side knock sensor. Glug, glug, glug....and then the unmistakable sound of liquid hitting the shop floor. It induces the same chagrin when the sonar and targeting laser temporarily malfunction during a late night bladder evacuation over the toilet with the bathroom light off. D'OH!!! That made a mess...   Oh, hey, that knock sensor I removed? It threads into a wet port. Who knew?! Learn something new every day. Put a pin in that chore, I'll fill it the rest of the way later.   The knock sensor arrived at about 1pm. I threaded it in, connected the wire, filled up the coolant, checked for leaks, and... drumroll.... fingers crossed for a perfect start, excellent timing, model fuel trims, and ...no squeaks... Here goes.....   No, it didn't start. At all. I cranked it a few times and it wasn't sounding good. Furthermore, I heard leaking again. Jesus H Tapdancing Christ, stop leaking all over the dang floor. This time I had accidentally overfilled the coolant reservoir and the churn of the water pump via cranking caused a bit to burp out. Ok, just, breathe... Put the flamethrower down. Dang thing wouldn't burn anyway, leaks too much...   Did you know the rotation of a round crank sensor in a round hole, matters? I do now. Took me about half hour to retrace steps and realize what I had done. Then it started right up.   No squeaks. The squeak was the old balancer.   Once it entered closed loop, fuel trims are dead on, hovering right around zero at idle. No more -30%. I'll credit the injector rebuild on that one.   Timing? I think there's an OBD 1.5 translation error with my Actron scanner. It's anywhere from -20 to -30 at idle, sometimes as high as -40 cruising. Sorry, the engine just isn't running that smoothly at -40 degrees ignition advance. It's just not. It's smooth all through the rev range and has decent power. I'm going to have to trust the seat of my pants on this one.   The new exhaust is very quiet. The old catalytic converter? Not melted, but definitely not healthy. Rains glitter when you turn it on its end...all the precious metal is flaking out. Once the new exhaust system burned in/smoked off a bit, the engine's exhaust smell is normal again. Not that I'd recommend going around huffing car exhaust, but, you know what I mean?   One problem to correct. The new exhaust has the opposite problem of the old spliced up exhaust. It wants to hit the floor where the old one wanted to rest on the cross member. Happy medium, please? Still noodling on that one, need to look at how I can adjust some hangers.   I don't know what's next. On one hand I want to run away from this thing as far and as fast as I can -- there have been a lot of NOT fun moments. On the other, now that it kinda drives nice, maybe drive it around for a little bit?   Shhh... it's not currently dripping oil all over the floor. I can see just a little wet at the bottom of the timing cover where it meets the oil pan seal. It's not dripping multiple drops with every ignition cycle, in fact, after some driving this evening it has yet to even form a drop that could drip off yet. But the weekend is young... I fully expect this could turn into Exxon Valdez by Sunday. Because this Blazer hates me. LOL.

      The Peckish Synapse

      About that:   Once upon a time in a land far far away lived a car company that was shy about taking your money and wanted to be sure that they gave you more that you asked for so that you'd come back. No really, not a fairytale. 😱   But after the field got thinned out enough to limit the competition it seemed good enough to give you only what you asked for. Fair enough I say but in such a market you have to give something the others are not or they go to the one who does. Gimmicks or glitz. Oh, fins and chrome. Yea, shinny crow like cars. Yum.    Field narrows a bit more and 'brand loyalty' becomes a thing and the minute it does they start thinking to themselves, "Could we make more money if we gave them less than they expect and they will hang in there for brand and comfort with the known?" They gave it a try and da*n, it worked!!    Well, what if we teach them, groom them into believing that less is "Normal" and cut some more corners. Will that work? Oh heck yea!    🤔 I wonder, can we give then WAY less than they expect and make them mad enough to spit nails and STILL get them to pay up? Sure, if we get everyone else to do the same so that the choice is less or nothing at all. How would be do that? Platform sharing.  What a concept, right?  Steal like there is no tomorrow and it's legal too!    Truth is no one is going to give up driving, not for very long. The Gen Z crowd is fine with it and will be as long as someone not Gen Z will haul them around. At some point we all die.    Economic voting only works if you cast a NO vote now and again and enough of them to get dumb and dumber to wise up. Well, that's how I was taught anyway. And it should have worked. Would have worked. But the Bail out!!   Look, you have another choice if  you take that bag off your head. If the dumb it down to some predetermined expectation of how John Q Public will use it the, that is under design it to failure they you use it to a lower stress mode. D'ho!    A 1950 Royal Enfield Bullet 500 will go anywhere a Suzuki Hayabusa will and for just as long. But you will have to treat it for what it is and not for what you wish it was.
