Let's Fix My Tahoe. Again..

[@coltonkruse2313]

SHE IS BACK! My favorite project car lol.

[@foulcult5240]

I just did the rear evaporator on my 04 Tahoe with 325k miles yesterday.

[@DanMestayer]

Came here for the Tahiti content some time ago. Glad to see an update. My most recent project was to replace the cat back exhaust with a Flowmaster kit. My 05 Tahoe is purring nicely. The old one had too many heat cycles and deveolped a tick from within.

[@jewllake]

you drill a hole on the blend door actuator and put a small screw and nut to act as a stop so it doesn't go past range. Did this on my auto a/c yukon about 12 years ago ad is still working today. Mine would stay stuck on cold also.

[@theANGRIERone]

Holy crap that's me! Dude, that's insane. Thank you from a former Staten Islander!

[@lsxmatt]

Congrats! What’s your email address?

[@Lazyboii.J]

Just finished your watching all your Tahoe vids, I think I’m ditching my Nissan and getting my own tahoe cause of you 😂

[@RatdogDRB]

Yer gonna be lovin' that rig more and more before long.

[@KO-pk7df]

My problem is all heat in back, cooling door stuck again. I am happy to see you doing this one! I have on my 2004 Tahoe and it is a pain when you get to the blend door housing with all those hard to get to bolts. The BLEND DOOR itself is a big problem. They keep breaking of the actuator forces them too far. I was forced to repair the door flap on shaft with all my 50 years of experience applied to one spot. I'm not sure it stayed fixed because once more all my German Sheppard gets is hot air no matter the setting. (She rides in my Rav-4 now until it's fixed again) The blend door is not available, so I bought a new plenum with the doors in it, they appear to be a better design. I'm waiting for a cooler day to do the change out because I hate the heat & humidity in north Texas.

[@ljordan3680]

Where did you get the new plenum ? I’m in Louisiana so we know heat too

[@Vaino_Hotti]

*sighs* "everything is falling apart". I felt that too.

[@joshuamerrill2422]

Absolutely love these old tanks. I've done the front evaporator core accumulator drier condenser and AC condenser along with oil pump and timing chain on my 01 Suburban

[@stevemartinez3412]

Love watching all the tahoe videos bro. Keep em coming lol

[@DesertRider928]

My daily is a 04 tahoe and I always save your videos so when I have the same problem I know what to do! All stock 400k+ miles still going strong.

[@melishadiamond9942]

👏

[@Aerozona23]

i just recently did a complete AC upgrade on my third gen camaro going from r12 to r134a, replacing every single part. It was 100% worth the time, and relatively easy too

[@jeffreyshepherd8488]

Finally some good content on youtube!

[@benkane4703]

You need the latest updated GM OE rear HVAC module #15832319. It will stop the actuators over-running, causing an error and defaulting to cold. Hard-ish to find, but not impossible. Dorman ‘make’ a replacement - but it’s junk and will cause more problems that it solves.

[@melishadiamond9942]

Will remember just bought my first Tahoe tonight while I was sitting in her I could hear a hamster wheel coming from the rear heatercore. Fan running or something.

[@jhermaineharris2142]

Tahiti is back! Great video! I have a 02 Tahoe. I want to change my clutch fan to electric but I don't know anyone who can program fan. Wish I had access tuning it myself.

[@SoonerDan77]

I love Tahiti, shes a great truck and prettier than my Ruby (05 Tahoe 2WD 240k). Ruby however has never let me down and I'll keep her till she dies, and then fix her some more.

[@richardfazzino6105]

Check the foam seal on the door, they dry out and that allows the door to move too far.

[@lsxmatt]

I think thats what happened. The front did the same thing.

[@svantenordstrom]

Tahiti is the reason i got 2005 Burb. Now I’m broke 😂

[@audimanao]

The rear ac adjustment temperature is not working because the actual rear computer on the box that controls the motors is bad. I had this exact problem on my 03 Denali i replaced the motor once and it immediately went past its travel. I replaced the rear hvac computer module and it fixed the problem

[@lsxmatt]

Thanks for the tip thats good to know. I’ll see if I can find one.

[@johnruppert7535]

Love the videos. Waiting to see what you do for the rocker panels so I can fix mine up on my 04 tahoe

[@Eric_Olsen]

The truth with any vehicle is fixing is usually cheaper than a car payments. Interest rates are higher and manufacturers are pushing $50 to $100k vehicles.

[@jennyloughry896]

Thx for the fleet update!! Do you plan on getting the Camaro to the track in the fall when the DA is good?

[@michaelhanewich245]

That door window pitch adjustment took me a long time to dial in to the T-tops. There is an upgrade to the door glass that hooks the base of the window and firms up the fit. This was in like 90 or so. It may be worth doing if you can even find the hooks. Your other camaro likely has them on the glass.

[@Baby-hy5fj]

Omg I can’t believe she is still holding on i remember your first headlight video

[@227chevyguy]

Yes love the Tahoe videos

[@ermigebrekristos4427]

I just had to pull that same area apart in the back to replace the temp door module. It was stuck on hot. I'm getting it ready for sale, since I replaced it with a 2023 Silverado High Country 3.0l Duramax

[@gemeni4001]

LMAO I had no clue that was there

[@GM-sk2wk]

Now I know I’ll be replacing the rear evap in my 01 now…. Thanks for the video but no thanks 😂

[@classicrocker81]

At least yours blows air haha. My front HVAC quit on me in the middle of winter but the rear still works. I tried swapping blower motors and had no luck until I saw how messed up the wiring is under the dash. Needless to say that project has been put on the backburner till I get the desire to deal with it.

[@audimanao]

THE REAR HVAC TEMPERATURE IS NOT WORKING BECAUSE THE COMPUTER MODULE THAT CONTROLS THE MOTORS IS BAD.

[@mattm5786]

Tyc is wicked I use them for headlight and taillights always fit like oem and last just as long too

[@tommybikes717]

Great video... ? How can I lower the volume of the bell sound when you enter the GMC 2003 Yukon... Its driving me crazy Lol Thanks

[@dosgos]

We have same Viking battery charger. No issues.

[@royb.1441]

Ive had great luck with Walmart batteries.

[@grandmasterchody]

I did the same thing with the cup holder I the back of mine

[@royb.1441]

I have changed my opinion on what makes a fun daily.....it's making power down low. Yea its awesome I can get an easy 50hp from a cam in my tahoe, but the last thing I want to is wring it out all the time to get to that extra power. Thats why I want a small turbo..... and Im keeping the factory muffler on it

[@KO-pk7df]

Did you have any more footage of how you put the plenum stuff back together? I had a real hard time getting everything to line up and be sealed well. I had to get into the overhead to connect the duct work to the plenum. It seemed like you didn't have that problem. I also had to reset the hvac door actuators and make sure the cool/hot door worked properly.

[@lsxmatt]

It fought me a little but only took maybe 5 minutes of messing with. Once I had the doors lined up in the housing it all popped together easily. Those were the biggest pain.

[@KO-pk7df]

@@lsxmatt FYI at 275K miles my AC compressor blew its guts out through the system. I took the time to flush in both directions & replace dryer and condenser. BUT I had to replace the rear TEV valve, there was no reliable way to clean it and I only wanted to do it once.

[@MoloneLabe]

My evaporator for my AC blew out just recently in my 05. I’m turning that suburban in anyways so I’ll suffer the next couple of months with the windows down… I thought about doing the “Hack” but idk yet.

[@tylerangieslayton7455]

I have a 2005 and few years ago i got a leak in rear lines were plastic brackets hold to the body and i found tons of corrosion on the aluminum line i was able to cut out the bad section with a tube cutter and splice it with a brass compression fitting temporarily 😂and its been fine for 3 years 🥶

[@JLE1177]

had the same leak on my 03 w 376,000 miles and even though it never got hot it broke a connecting rod and poked a whole in the oil pan

[@sKoutzyy]

Oh man, I saw what you did there, I knew if i paused at the right moment I'd see what you hid in the video in that little flash after you were talking about the slow process

[@lsxmatt]

If you put playback on .25 and time it just right you can get it😁

[@sKoutzyy]

@@lsxmatt oh i got it! that's what im sayin, damn, gonna be some fun videos lol

[@parkerschnitker9711]

Matt, are we gonna talk about how you got your guage cluster and climate controls converted to LED and over half of them are already burnt out?😅😅😅

[@coltonkruse2313]

Damn that's a bummer.

[@lsxmatt]

Yea the guy that did them for me reached out and I was supposed to send him the cluster. Apparently he had a bad batch of leds. I’ve been busy with everything else I never had a chance to do it.

[@renderingrocks]

Which trans cooler is that? Its a beauty!

If you haven't charged the freon yet, your motors won't operate properly because the AC pressure switch is seeing no pressure

[@deez6686]

I wish I have ur knowledge, fixing your own car

[@mando_h9219]

I need help! 2003 Tahoe; I went thru a car wash and water came out of the d pillar tweeter speakers. What could be the reason?

[@lsxmatt]

First guess would be either the glass or hatch seals.

[@klumsytone]

Let’s go!

[@melishadiamond9942]

Probably the stuff i was supposed to remove 😂

[@xunheilvsnipezx3324]

Howdy howdy from Tucson! I Have sad news we, sold our 05 Tahoe 285k Hawkeye. He needed a new family, ours new by one and three car seats means rear row, rear row means no costco runs. We ended up buying a 2015 suburban, 'The Black Pearl', it has the 5.3l just like the Tahoe but thx to 2nd gen dod it avgs 23mpg and my record is 29.9 MPG vs our tahos at it's highest was 12.5 mpg love that car but it's heavy! I figure oil change every 2500 miles to keep the dod working smooth and unclogged.

[@lsxmatt]

Wow thats great mpg!

[@xunheilvsnipezx3324]

@@lsxmatt thanks! That's what I thought!

[@nw_po]

Hey Matt do you still have the Astra?

[@lsxmatt]

Yea I do, guess I forgot I had it in this video😂

[@stevenayala2324]

He just needs to redo the leds I have my whole truck leds and just cause of bass I have to redo the upper ac controls when ever but if Matt wants I can tell him wat kind to buy it’s simple to do

[@sheylaramirez5442]

Questions guys thank you to anybody who will answer. I have an 02 Tahoe that blows cold when I drive but when I'm stopped at a red light it start to come out humid hot does anyone know what it can be?

[@lsxmatt]

Either low charge or bad clutch fan

[@foulcult5240]

Bad clutch fan it sounds like. It's connected to the water pump on the front of the engine, behind the radiator.

[@dosgos]

Boost the Astra.

[@lsxmatt]

I want to but tuning is an issue. It has a german pcm so I can’t get into it. I was considering a megasquirt or something to piggy back, but I have to make sure nothing throws a check engine light. Check engine means no passing emissions.
