I just put our '02 out to pasture. It had 365,000 miles on it. The engine was still running well, but lots of other issues starting to happen. Just thought it was time to let 'er go. It was certainly a great truck.

Sorry for the very late reply guys. I tried to manually adjust the actuator before I saw the post by MRRSM, and broke it. I moved onto other things, and went through the Minnesota winter without heat on my feet. There were a couple of days where I wish I would have stuck with it and replaced...

Yep, I did the calibration twice, and that had no effect. The second time I did it, I got on the floor and was able to see the actuator rotate, so I'm confident that the actuator is working. That's when I got the idea of removing the actuator and manually move the door to difference spots to...

TJBaker57, sorry for the late reply. Had other things come up, and before I saw your reply, I attempted to make one more attempt at it. I found a small C-clamp in my toolbox, took a best guess at where I should cut the end off of it, took a hack saw to it and made the cut. It felt like it fit...

Well, I've tried to make my own tool, and also tried to use a couple of different beam clamps. My own tool was a failure, and the beam clamps were close, but I'm not able to get the clamp in far enough to line up with the hole on the top of the actuator that the bolt would screw into...

Thanks TollKeeper - I think I'll try to gently wiggle it some more, and keep doing that to see if it breaks loose. TJBaker57, if I can't get it loose would you be willing to lend me your puller/pusher? I can pay for shipping both ways, and give you something extra for your kindness (and...

Thanks for the reply TJBaker57. Your puller/pusher is very clever. I'm not sure I'll be able to make one though, but I think I'll give it a try. I'm really surprised that the stud on the door is stuck in the actuator this much. I replaced the blend door actuator before I attempted to replace...

Hello all - I'm attempting to replace the mode actuator in my 2002 Envoy. I've removed the bolt and screws, and at this point the actuator should slide off of the stud that's attached to the mode door, but it will not come off. I can tell the actuator is loose all the way around it, so I know...
