  1. I had mine replaced a couple weeks ago. I see no evidence of them removing the dash. Dust wasn't even disturbed on the top of the dash. Only evidence that anything was done at all is that the tech left a trim removal tool in the glovebox. Yes, I returned it...ha ha. I already have one. Had my air pump relay recall done at the same time.
  2. Looked at the relay schematic. You are correct. No diode. Thank you !! Stopped at dealer and picked up an OEM unit. 82501AG05B Only $7. Go figure.
  3. Well...I'm pretty sure it's the relay. Swapped it out tonight with Autozone Part # 221841 19997 Duralast Accessory relay $8 They didn't have a cross reference, but this looks close enough. It's a 20A relay which should be sufficient. Now only time will tell. Thanks again !
  4. Interesting. I am having almost exactly the same problem. Most of the time it works fine, but sometimes for not apparent reason, just starts blowing hot air. It feels like the compressor is kicking in, but I need to investigate that further. Thanks for the A/C clutch relay tip. Will have to double check that, as well as the actual clutch on the compressor. My outside air temperature display is working fine. I did have the system leak checked and recharged which improved it's performance when working, but didn't solve the problem. It's been intermittent for awhile, but it's starting to happen more and more often. Completely random. Sometimes at startup, sometimes after driving for awhile. Sometimes only for a few seconds, sometimes for a couple of days. Weird.
  5. Thread resurrection. Add me to the list that has had 2 low beams burn out at same time. Happened to me last night. Checked bulbs this morning. Both burnt out. Replaced and all good now. The weird thing is that I had 2 different Sylvania model bulbs installed at different times and they died together. Being 2 different bulbs may somehow have contributed to this ? I guess, I will just keep spares and a philips screwdriver in the car from now on.
  6. Interesting. While visiting family for Thanksgiving I noticed my father's 08 LGT has the same airbag light problem. Sometimes tapping on the console will cause the led's to flicker. Seems to be one of those, it's just a matter of time things.
  7. Ha, awesome pics. You beat me to it. I literally just did this fix 15 minutes ago. Took it out for a quick test ride to make sure the airbag light problem and the winter wheels are all good. Yes !! Thanks again to this forum !! Love it.
  8. I noticed they have a couple different versions (packaging) of the B12. A metal can...and a plastic bottle that says fuel injector cleaner. Is the metal can the one to go for, or does it not really matter ?
  9. Really ? I know you have to make sure to not touch the electrode AT ALL, but other than that, why wouldn't you be able to adjust them ?
  10. Yeah, I had very little trouble with the plugs once I found out I could move the motor with a jack handle just enough to get the ratchet on and off if needed. Only needed to do that on one plug though. Threads were pretty dry/tight and couldn't turn the extension by hand. I also will keep my OEM pump. Seems fine and looks good and clean. Only weird thing I have going on now is I have kind of whirring/whizzing sound at idle and only at idle. Tap the gas even slightly and it goes away. Sounds like its coming from either the alternator or the a/c unit or somewhere along the top driver side of the motor. Hard to pin it down further than that. Wasn't hearing that prior to changing the belts. Played around with accessory belt tension a bit, but not sure it made any difference. I guess I'm ok with it as long as it's not coming from the timing belt area. Sounds kind of like the supercharger on my old Pontiac.
  11. aw man...now I read this. I just put a gates kit in yesterday. All went pretty well, just hope my waterpump holds up. I did use an OEM gasket though. I also used the Grimspeed pulley bolt removal tool. Worked awesome ! Pulling the radiator out was very easy. The vise grip method of locking the pulleys also worked out perfect. All the old parts looked great. Only part that seemed a bit shot was the a/c idler pulley. Thanks to all for information posted here !! I also found the meaty youtube video to be very helpful by making it look so easy. It kind of was. I still think changing sparkplugs is much easier than the timing belt service though....
  12. Changing the intake O-Rings finally cured mine. aaahhhh.....so much better now. Sitting at stoplights and in stop & go traffic used to be nerve wracking. Always thought she was gonna stall when the motor would randomly feel like it misfired.
  13. Well...that wasn't fun. Got it done though. Time will tell if it cures the piss poor idle and other weirdness that's been going on. First test drive was promising. Thanks for the great thread...BMX...Brady...or whatever the latest name is. Good stuff !! Driver side gaskets were a PITA...Damn !!
  14. aw jeez, to run that long not be able to see what the TBN is, is killing me.
