I think I saw something on this before but I lived in San Diego then and it wasn't a problem. Now I'm in Maine and it's a problem.

 

The rear of this 07 Crew cab has no heating vents for the rear passengers. While the wife and I are sitting in our heated seats and turning down the heat,"cause it's just a little to warm". My kids are complaining of frostbite in their feet.

 

I think the tahoes and suburbans have rear floor vents in addition to the roof vents, correct? And these trucks are the same as the pickup, correct? Then this has to be possible, has anybody done it? Does anybody have access to the part numbers that would be required to run the floor vents?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated by my children....and my conscience.

Sounds like an awful lot of trouble (and expense - separate controls, blower, etc)..

 

Why not just point the middle vents towards the back seat, when you two get "warm enough"..? :lol:

Slide the seat forward and take a look again. There are vents under the front seats. I feel like my back seat are heats up very well.

 

When its really cold I put it on a combo floor and dash, aim the vents to the back and it warms up/cool off very quickly.

They eliminated the A/C vents, but the heat ducts are still there.

I know what the OP is talking about

 

A few years back, when I owned my 2006 Sierra Ext Cab, I had a similar situation.

 

The truck had a full console, from the factory. The console had "floor-heat vents" equipped in it; they were located at the back side of the console, above the cupholder.

 

No matter what I set the HVAC controls on, I got absolutely No heat and No Airflow at all from those rear console vents. Something defiinitely wasn't assembled right from the factory...or it was missing parts.

 

Didn't matter though...nobody ever sat in the back, and I only owned the truck for 14 months...

2 pairs of socks will solve the children's problem & it won't cost you anything. :lol:

 

But seriously, my 08 EXT Cab has vents under the front seats pointing backwards. Check and see if yours put out any hot air.

The center console comes out pretty easy. If you have vents pull the console and make sure the ducting is unobstructed.

Do what my old man did... Tell 'em to quit bitchin' or they can walk.

 

I almost had to say that to both of my parents today. We were coming back from my cousin's house, and my Mom's sitting in the front seat of the truck, my Dad's in the back. I had the heat on both the floor and dash vents, which was working fine for me. Then my Dad asks me to put it on the 'foot' setting. Well, my Mom didn't like that, so she asked me to put it on the 'face' setting.

 

My Dad from the back, "But my feet are cold!"

My Mom, "well, if the rest of your body is warm, your feet will get warm."

"But my feet are cold now."

 

This went on for a couple minutes until I put the A/C on full cold. :lol: My truck, I'm driving, the heat goes where I want it. :cheers:

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I can only guess as well that something was clicked on that brought you to the half ton choices by accident. By all means try again and chose the 3500 and sort out that its the cab and box configuration you want and choose four wheel drive ( rather obvious to have a transfer case ) and to make sure the dually isn't chosen. I find or at least did a couple of years ago when I was sifting through the options that it would sometimes jump ahead after choosing the series of truck and in this case 3500 and skip some of the other initial configuration choices and have to watch the heading bar and sometimes back up by choosing the first in the series of option break downs. I think sometimes the computer will remember items that were last chosen and skip over the first part. Anyway go through it all and depending on the trim level chosen and I think the LT is one that may fall into that where the option of having the 4 high auto transfer case can be chosen, where as a High Country doesn't show that option as it just comes with the fancier ( not necessarily better though in terms of potential problems ) transfer case but for sure both transfer case choices are equipped with high and low range in the HD truck segment. Like Newdude said who works at a dealership, its the half tons that are the ones that will come with the single speed unless certain options or trim levels are chosen that add the two speed transfer case but as your looking at an HD, you don't have to worry about that hot mess.    One item that at least didn't show up and not sure if it does yet or not in the HD options on the manufactures pubic website is the upfitter in cab switch option if one is desiring that. Unfortunately its not wired in at the factory but the panel with the switches is on the dash but the wiring harness to be installed gets tossed under the rear seat to be installed by whomever after the fact to complete the installation.

      Yesterday we brought home a 6yr  old Havanese dog from a nearby SPCA.  We've had her for 24 hours and we are delighted with how well she is adjusting to her new home.  It  was a huge decision to adopt a dog at this stage in our lives but we believe we made the right choice!   it was reported that her first 6 years were ones of neglect.  I think she's already realizing her life is going to get a whole lot better...  so is ours!

      Which 2027 engine will you choose?

      By Coastie05 · Posted

      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.
