go to a junk yard and buy a compressor off a wrecked car. With hand tools you can replace the frozen compressor with the one from the wrecked car. Then you can drive the car with out A/C but the fan belt will work fine.

I did that to a Sentra.

1 find a good private shop [not dealer] but check with dealer parts dept to see if they have AC bypass kit
2 bypass will cost a few hundred...you may have to find a junkyard envoy that came with no AC,,it is rare..
3 my advice..suck it up get it fixed
4 as a non mechanic your gona pay one way or other..sorry

Before you get all worked up, can you post back and let us know if your A/C clutch is making noise or the bearing??? Post back, and if it's not your bearing, that's good news. ;)

Hello, hive! I have a 1999 GMC K1500 Suburban. When I step on the brake pedal, no keys in switch, the dash and marker lights come on. When headlights are off, driving normally, both turn signals work normally, but the dash and marker lights flash with right turn signal. When headlights are on, left signaL works normally, but right signal buzzes a little at the relay, but does not blink, even though the rear lamp does light on the right side. I am at a loss. So is my mechanic. Help??

How did all that work out?
I'm wondering about your preferred PSI for tires.
My mechanic recommended 32 psi for my heavily-loaded 1990 Vandura.
That's what I've used for years (once it was around 36-38, and that felt like I was on rollerblades and could not sense the road . . . ), yet I see videos saying that 32 is way too low and damages tires . . .

(I got 11-12 years out of my tires at 32 psi.)

Thank you for any helpful feedback!

I'm replacing a lower seat foam and leather. The lower foam is attached to a smaller metal frame and is then bolted to the main seat frame. At the rear of the foam/smaller frame there are 2 locating pins that must fit into holes at the rear of the lower seat before the 2 front screws line up with the holes to put screws in. I' not sure what to call them but I need at least 1, 2 would be better, help please.

"I've come across quite a few articles about lifter damage lately. I assume much of it is marketing hype, but I suspect there’s some truth to it in certain cases. Any thoughts or real-world experiences?"

Are the rear bumpers the same between a fleet side & style side?
