actually you can do it with only a partial disassembly on the dash. Remove the top cover which is just held in by 2 7mm bolts and the rest is clips and that will give you access to the mix box top bolts, each are 10mm. Then you disassemble the lower dash kick panel which is just 3 7mm bolts and then undo the clips holding the glove box inside. Fold out the glove box and remove the 7mm bolts holding it in. Next remove the passenger side sill plate cover which is held in by clips and you should have enough room to undo the rest of the bolts and move the mix box out of the way just enough to slip the condenser core out. However, this is actually an uncommon problem. The majority of HVAC leaks on GM trucks are from the massive condenser up front. These are easy to replace and there is a retrofit that gives it more support so it doesn't form stress fractures around the ports for the tubes. Parts are around $150-$200 also there are vents leading to the back passenger compartment in these pickups. They're under the seat. There is an option for rear zone controls as well, same as on the Suburban.

Call me lucky, but the AC on my 2011 Silverado still blows cold enough to make snow. Got 120K miles. I will agree that the latch is garbage. Mine broke out of warranty. When I pointed out that it shouldn't have failed so soon, the service manager called GM and they agreed to pick up half the cost. Not perfect, but better than nothing. If something breaks prematurely on a vehicle out of warranty, it's a good idea to ask if there's a goodwill warranty. Might save you some money.

So much power. 12-13mpg city and 17-18 highway. That's fine to me. And my favorite thing is the whole rear window rolls down. In SW Florida I use that every day. Beautiful truck.

If you are facing the truck inside the grill you can see on the right side of the condenser line it was known to have small cracks on the welds of the line. An yes 15 hour job for removing the evaporator but weren't common to have leaks, had replaced more evaporator cores in Cadillacs Ats more than silverado.

Scotty, none of those things are actual pickup trucks. I have a 1993 Chevy 1/2 ton, 2 wheel drive, 2 door standard cab truck with an 8 foot bed. It has a 350 V8 engine and 700R4 automatic. It also has a bench seat that 3 people can fit comfortably. I bought it new. It suits all my needs. I can get 8 foot sheets of plywood or drywall in it, or 8 foot 2x4s, 2 dirt bikes or a quad, with plenty of rooms for fuel cans, ramps, and a bunch of other stuff. It has 321,000 miles. I just replaced both the engine and transmission. It's an AZ truck with zero rust. I'm 64, and see no reason why this truck won't last the rest of my life. The so called "trucks" they make today are not only junk, but they are almost completely worthless as a truck even when they do run.

He had till l2021 when moved to other side of country, Sold it for to his neighbour . Three speed automatic with overdrive....still had the original tranny and the air conditioning worked. Simplicity, and as you said, the newer ones are just junk, due to poor engineering and manufacturing

All the "creature comforts" in the new vehicles are nothing but problems you'll have to fix if you keep your vehicles for any amount of time. That's why I'm still driving the only vehicle I ever bought new, a 1994 K1500 extended cab 4x4, Z71 with a 350 and 14 bolt rear axle. Sure, living in New England I recently did body work, made a custom bed, installed a 3/4-ton rear spring pack and replaced 40" of rotted frame with a channel I formed from 3/16" plate. I'm just lucky I have the skills and the facilities to work on it and make anything I need. I even reupholstered the seats and replaced the carpet with a fitted vinyl floor mat. The crazy thing is I have a 4" suspension lift, 35" tires, and I'm still on the original ball joints, tie rod ends, CV and U-Joints, wheel bearings with 289,000 miles. The only thing I had to do up until the recent repairs was at 260,000 I had to rebuild the 4L60E after losing 3rd and 4th gears. I'm going to keep buying older and older vehicles. After I'm done with the Chevy I have a decent condition '73 F250 4x4 I'm going through for a 2nd vehicle. The car companies can keep the junk they make today that cost as much as a damn mortgage payment! Keep up the great videos. I really enjoy them!

At the same time my daily driver was a 1980 Dodge Aspen with a slant 6. Guess what Scotty? That Aspen had 143,000 miles on it when I sold it (the same day I put it up for sale). It had a few drips, but not even close to the gusher that Celica was. And, I didn't burn oil either. It was a great car.

Scotty, a few things I noticed when you were diagnosing the Ram. You demonstrated a capacitive discharge when you touched the disconnected positive and negative cables together, if anyone were to try that you MUST make sure that BOTH batteries are disconnected if you have a vehicle with an auxiliary battery for engine stop start! Also, if you’re going to disconnect the battery positive cable but leave the negative connected, make sure to insulate and isolate the positive cable so it can’t touch the positive post.

My brother in law just bought an '84 Land Cruiser (needs a LOT of work and assembly) but we were going through it last night and you at least feel like you can get the thing back on the road at some point even if it is in 100 pieces in his garage. These new vehicles you may as well forget even trying simple things unless you have all sorts of specialized tools and gadgets and specific knowledge. I don't know I guess I'm just getting old. I might actually disagree with you on the self driving car thing though...I mean if we're going to have these rolling computers then I'm all for it being able to drive for me on long boring trips up to the cabin and that sort of thing so I can read a book or take a nap. But I do admit it would be hard for me to really trust it...but if you think about it, how much can you really trust the humans out there that are driving?

The engine has AFM issues that causes lifters to fail. The paint is “flashed” to infrared cure that gives it a very poor paint job. The AC has bad condensers AND evaporators. Leaking 3rd brake light. The sliding rear window explodes due to a faulty defroster. All this for trucks that they charge a stupid amount for now!

Our 2014 Ram 1500 hasn't had any major issues up to this point, ganted it only has about 51,000 miles on the odometer. It was my granfather's truck and he passed in 2018. Before that one he had a 98 1500 that was pretty solid up until around 2013 when the right wheel bearing blew. I think the only other issue is had was it needed an O2 sensor and alternator at some point. The 2014 was built in Michigan and so was the 1998 I think, so I guess that's why both held up so well compared to the Mexican built ones.

I just dont like the idea of a turbo 6. Why not go for the v8 f150 at that point. I get toyota arguably has higher quality control but its not what it used to be and they sell a lot of f150s brother a lot. You got spare parts. A v8.. the v8 is so good on the interstates whe. Yourr passing people

About the chevy truck: some time ago I contacted GM on several different occasions to bring to their attention that about 95% of the vehicles that I see being driven on the road that have a problem with the ligts not working (headlights or minor lights) appear to be GM vehicles. That did seem to be a complete waste of time. Apparently GM is not interested in making more reliable vehicles!

I bought a 16 Silverado. I can understand one thing going wrong. But mine was a constant headache. Fuel injectors, struts, washer motor, wheel bearings, air conditioner , leak in the rear cyclops’s light. What broke me was at sixty thousand miles the transmission was going. I dumped it on the dealership for almost what I paid for it

Interesting that he picked the Tundra as a truck he wouldn’t touch, then has very little to say that’s seriously that’s wrong with it. More positive than his initial impression. I’ve had a ‘23 Platinum for a few months with no complaints so far. I can barely feel the shifts and the engine has an abundance of snort, even pulling a travel trailer. As a retiree who doesn’t put many miles on the mileage is quite low on my list of concerns and his initial concerns about the longevity of the turbos is a non-issue for me personally since I won’t live long enough to put 150,000 miles on it, probably not even 100,000. If I wanted a daily work truck these things might be more important.

I was a Chevy guy. In 04 I bought a brand new Chevy truck. First new truck ever. Only problem is it used to eat oxygen sensors. Then the brake lines rusted through and almost killed me. That was in ‘14. I got rid of it and bought a brand new Toyota tundra with the 5.7 v8. Not a single issue in 10 years. Nothing besides breaks, tires, and fluid changes. Love my Tundra, but when I do decide it is time for a newer truck, I am not getting a turbo v6. No way. Guess I’ll have to keep my ‘14 running forever.

It's the key chip. Get a multimeter and read impedance on the key fob, and make the same impedance from a bag of $2;00 resistors you use to be able from radio shack. There is an orange wire coming down the steering wheel, cut, and put resistor on wire going to wire harness under dash. For less than $10, you could've been driving the same day. Impedance can be . 5 off over or under

I sure miss my 1996 Chevy Cheyenne 1/2 ton 4X4 pickup. Got it relatively cheap, put Silverado seats and wheels on it, Z71 Bilstein shocks and skid plates. It had the 350 Vortec engine and 5-speed manual transmission. When I traded it in, it was about 7 years old, had about 110,000 miles on it, and it was running like brand new. Still had the original clutch and rear drum brakes on it. I could get 21-22 mpg on the highway with it. I could do most of the maintenance on it in my driveway, too. Sure, no carpet, power "anything", so what. Less crap to BREAK.

Ugh. That certainly does defeat most of the purpose of a smaller truck. I can nurse 18-20 mpg out of my F150 5.0 crew at highway speed using cruise control 5-10 mph over the speed limit. Believe it or not, I get 20-23mpg on secondary highways or faster 2 lane roads in the 45-55mph range. As soon as you break 60 with these 4 wheeled bricks, you pay for it!
