Like i stated before if i have the heat on in my 00 z-71 and change the temp to cold or just turn the heat down alittle bit it wont change. I fugured it was the mixing door and checked the little motor that opens and closes the temp control door. It works if i turn the fan off but with the fan on it doesnt work so well. You can see the motor start to turn then it stops I pulled the mixing motor out and it works fine. I think that when the fan is on there is too much pressure to open the door and let some cool air in to mix with the hot air.

 

Anybody else have this problem??

 

Are the new motors more powerful to handle the pressure created by the fan??

Thanks guys, I've been having similar issues with my heat control and I thought that I was going to have to live with it.

 

My questions are, where does this 'motor' live in the heating/cooling scheme of things? What is the part number for the motor? Is this a difficult task to get to the parts where ever they may be or do I have to tear apart the entire dash area?

 

Thanks for the responses.

I have the same problem. It is in the list of things the dealer is supposed to fix when they get the parts to fix my rattling steering :ughdance: . Time to give them a call and put some heat under their a$$e$ :ughdance: .

The actuator motor is on the hvac case behind the glove box area. The motor is realatively flat may 1" or so in thickness and has a triangle shape. in one end of the triangle there will be a metal hub that drives the rod that attaches to the temp door. I don't have the part number but you shouldnt have any problem if you go to a dealer and ask for the cab hvac temp door actuator motor. wires are typical harness plug. 3 or 4 wires in the harness if I remember correctly.

I have this problem too on my 01. Gets too hot and won't turn off. However, I recently had my coolant system flushed and it seems to be working fine now.

 

 

How much is the new part? Maybe worth it regardless.

Thanks,

It think it was about a 50.00 part. It has been almost year so I'm only guessing.

[i had the same problem with my '01. My mechanic father-in-law figured it was the in-cab filters and he seems to be right. I haven't had a problem since I (he) changed them out two weeks ago. It was the first time they had been changed, I have about 75,000 miles.

      No 12v outlets in 2026 gmc Sierra

      By PhilB · Posted

      It is possible to add your own 12v outlet to your truck.  Check out this video:   I verified via GM Upfitters that pin 31 is the same on the 1500 trucks.  The wire is GM part number 84779405.   You can get the GM 12v outlet from Amazon  https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Accessory-Receptacle-25774623-13549530/dp/B0F1H9YRGF EWAY 12 Volt Power Adapter for GM   https://www.amazon.com/EWAY-Chevrolet-Silverado-Cigarette-Ignition/dp/B0915RRW6Q/ref=sr_1_1?   I just haven't figured out a good place to put the 12v outlet in my truck.   Some people are getting USB-C to 12V adapters  https://www.amazon.com/WYMECT-Cigarette-Lighter-Socket-Adapter/dp/B0F87WNQKB/ref=sr_1_1_sspa? Not sure if they provide the correct amperage that a device like a tire inflator would need.

      Wiring Help, Please

      Thanks; I looked there a few minutes, and I think I can find something. I really never looked there, as I thought it was stuff like PTO/aftermarket bodies/accessories like snow plows.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
