Does anybody have a Chiltons Manual for a 96? Before I purchase one, I want to make sure it tells how to remove the dash. They are all sealed when you buy them. I guess I could pull the cover of of one to see if it meets my needs....

I just bought one for my 96. It was either $70 or $110 (I bought both the condenser and the evaporator and I forget which price was for which). I also do not have the name of the place with me at work, but their number is 1-888-317-2025. I talked with a guy named Matt. The company is located in...

So I broke down and finally decided to replace my compressor, dehydrator and orifice tube. All was going well until I went to disconnect the line for the orifice tube (up by the condenser). After 13 years of togetherness, the fittings holding the fluid tube to the condenser decided that now was...

That is a pretty sweet install walkthrough....Thanks! I am getting ready to do the same to the wifes Trailblazer.

Odd question.......What prompted you to ask?

Kind of looks like the grill of the old Griswold Family Truckster.....

I did the ball joints on my '96. Took about 6 hours for both sides (about 4 1/2 for the first side). Definately easy to do if you know how to turn a wrench. I needed a special press for installing the lower one, though. I was able to borrow it from my local hobby shop. As for removing the...

If you all want to come to Hawaii, I'm in....How common is this type of problem, anyway?

I did that in my wifes Trailblazer. Luckily the door only shut onto the first latch. Still took about an hour to finagle (sp?) a coat hanger through the door and the jam to reach the lock switch. Not to mention the time it took to find a non-plastic hanger.

Looks like an extra from the Transformers movie lot that didn't quite make the cut.

The problem is definitely in the rear of the vehicle (at least on mine).

If you ever get that 6' (foot) lift kit, make sure you post some pictures. That should look insane! :D What size tires would you put on a beast that tall???

Agree 100%. Your first post asked for feedback on the use of spacers, but you second post looked like you were trying to defend the use. Invest for the long haul.....and be safe!

great info..Thanks! Is there only one component (rear) or is it the same for both ends of the drive shaft?

Agree with BTB....I also have the 30G Zune and use RCA to the aux input. No problems. On a side note, you will find that the zune is not nearly as supported as the iPod, and Microsoft is the worst. I have a Media Center Edition Viao, and the Zune is not supported. I can't transfer TV shoes...
