My guess about the stepper motors has to do with your truck potentially having the faulty XC5.168 and not the X27.168. My XC5s had a tendency to malfunction even in the Northern Arizona winter, but after I swapped them out with X27.168 that went away. My dad's 05 EXT is hangared in northern...

It does matter, since there is a potentiometer used to know the position of the actuator. There's more info on that here, including some pretty pictures. http://gmtnation.com/f23/successful-re-index-mode-actuator-cheap-actuator-fix-3492/

Not a stealership story. I've been getting my oil changes done at a local place, it's pretty much a one tech and one office person operation (all they do is fluid changes and ignition interlocks) and I really like the place, the cost of getting it done there is like $35-40 for labor and they...

So last year I developed the issue with the mode door, however, never got around to fix it since I had little free time. This year I finally purchased all the tools (or borrowed some) and fixed it today. I used the information found here but I would like to add more information. 1. Tools -I...

I will look at the inside to see if there's a plug. There is no exterior key slot, presumably because this is an SLT (I know that with the Envoy and TB the more equipped trim levels didn't have one -mine doesn't either).

So the liftgate on my brother's 05 Yukon SLT (SWB) won't unlock anymore, tried with the keyfob or the front door unlock button, no luck. An additional complaint he has is that the wiper will not work unless he presses on the selector knob (and sprays washer fluid), but what I forgot to ask was...

The screw that is behind the actuator, did you remove it just by hand with the socket? Also, did you just pull the air duct down? or did you completely wrestle it out of the dash? I was able to get mine slightly loose (one screw) before giving up at 11pm, I'll try again when the weather gets...

Harvey, Not sure if this answers your question, but Checker's lists 2 different Dorman P/Ns for that actuator, 604-115 for 2002s and 604-119 for most other years, knowing that there were minor changes throughout the years, it is entirely possible that you have a part for a different year, or it...

Looks pretty similar, I think GM changed some parts numbers a few years back (I remember there are 2 P/N for the Tahoe Z71 rear springs and they're the same). Is there a way to manually move the actuator to one position and then disconnect it? I think I'll need to change my actuator but I'd...

Loading... Thanks everyone. I guess it's time to play with the modem settings and DNS settings

OK, so ever since I got to my parents house in Mexico I haven't been able to access ORTB. Am I the only one here having this issue?

We had to tell them it was something very similar to a Toyota MR2, mind you, their system doesn't list "2004 Smart Roadster" as an option. Also they had no issues renting us one of those trailers or a dolly (rescued friends twice), but they do seem to have some inconsistencies, as my friend had...

Personally I'm not a big fan of having too many subforums, makes things more difficult to find.

Somewhere around 82k as per the odometer. Slightly higher in real life due to the tire size. That's just after putting a good 1200 or so miles around Thanksgiving
