Noticed lately a new PS leak coming right behind the PS pump it seems when setting over night on the concrete floor. So far I havent located it but guessing somewhere on the pump reservoir itself and maybe low side. The snow and cold is keeping me from going underneath it for now. So only...

Alt received new for $89.20 shipped. Not rebuilt. Installed and works. Can see difference from get go. Dont take 5-10seconds for amps to jump up (kick in) to 14 like old did since I have owned it for many years. Suggestion snubby 15mm ratchet wrench for bottom bolt. I had snubby and no...

I seen that bottom one was tight. Thanks for the idea on 15mm ratchet type idea. Been wanting to get some never had a reason to though. I called the junkyards today and it was $40-$50. I ended up ordering a new one online $89 and not a remanufactured one. I just give up the lifetime...

The plug in on side of alt looked different in that video then what is on mine? Mine looks like a slim narrow 6 pin or so deal. I have the bose system if that has anything to do with it or did I see it wrong in video?

Here is what happened. I was at a stop light and noticed center dash message center it said Warning alternator not charging. Looked at gauge which in normally on 14 and it was half way down on left side. Pulled into gas station. Turned off heater blower and radio. Took back off and it went...

Is there a difference in alternators between XL and regular ones? Thinking 150amp on my XL. They want 149 rebuilt or 179 new. Any good online deals out there? Any info on removal and install? Never had to replace on this before and way different down in there compared to what I am used too.

Well the MC got a new belt while I was at it and the envoy XL got a new 695K6 to bypass the a/c and idler. Working good.

I just happen to own a 04 monte with 3.4 and uses 705K6 70.472 belt it is to long not to short. Just tried it on my XL. http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/drive-rite-v-ribbed-belt-705k6/5063124-P?searchTerm=belt#fragment-2 Going to buy a 695K6 69.488 that the other guy mentioned that worked...

I just did a comparison of the XL belt to the regular size TB EVY's and the XL belt was 90.551 = 1inch shorter then reg ones at 91.5 any clue why this is? REG http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/buy/products/493-v-ribbed-belt-by-drive-rite-part-915k6-belts.html#fragment-2 XL...

I couldnt find anything on this here. So I'll start one. My 02 XL the bearing is going out on the compressor. Right now no time to do the work. Would like to find a accessory belt that bypasses the a/c unit. From reading it will also bypass idler pulley. Roadie I noticed you had posted...

Just so you all know. The oem part is $75-$85 The parts store aftermarket replacements are $20.

Just drove it so far good. The dang PS cooler couldnt be spliced as the hole was up in the cooler itself. SOB I thought. So I cut the cooler off at both lines and looped fuel injection line for now for a temp fix. It is low side so no big time pressure. So why do these newer trucks have a PS...

Found a video on grille removal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbxwWty8aiQ

01 silverado 4x4 4.8 power steering cooler lines rusted and leaking out all my PS fluid going to work today. Looking for info on replacement or fix. How to get to it as it is behind the grill but in front of the radiator and mounted to a support. Are the 2 lines going into the PS cooler low...

I would never use PS fluid as trans fluid as the trans needs the friction stuff for clutches etc.
