Looking At A 2005 Z71 4x4

You can't download them to your device then upload them here?

For whatever reason I am not able to put pics from other devices on, even when downloaded to my own gallery. I see an error mesage on the forum when attempting to attach. I have not had this problem before now. I just got a new phone for the first time in a few years about a month ago. I'll figure it out eventually.

I'm guessing it's a setting in your phone. But, I have found in the past, that occasionally a downloaded picture from somewhere else will not let me post it somewhere else or send to someone else. So what I did was edit the downloaded photo ever so slightly and then post my edited photo. All I did was adjust the contrast or brightness or something just barely... not even enough to tell. But it worked. Evidently when I edit a photo, it becomes my photo and not somebody else's lol.

Tried that with hiding the license plate.

Mine is older and just has 3 knobs.

Yep, that's the 99-02 style. I'll edit my post to state I'm referring to '03-07. Good catch

I can’t post pictures from my phone because the file size is too large. I have to screenshot the photo while in the photo gallery. The screenshot of the original drastically reduces the file size and quality.

How big is the file size? For comparison, here's one I posted recently:

Also have to watch for .webp files, as I’ve found you can’t upload them to the forum. A lot of photos from the net’ tend to be that file extension.

Generic photo that I take from time to time to change in one of the ponderosas (tall one on the left side looks like it’s slowly dying).

25.6MB file size.

My solution is to use the screenshot feature that’s available on most smart phones. On a newer iPhone you press the volume up and power(screen lock) buttons simultaneously. Then I usually just crop out everything but the picture. It’ll drop the file size to the point that the website will allow uploading.

Forgot to mention the blower motor resistor. If the blower motor stops working on level 5 but works on everything else, it's the resistor. Or if it doesn't work at all. Quick and easy fix under the pass side of the dash.

Also another thought. There are 2 different climate control systems for '03-07, the manual "slider" style:

And the digital style:

NOTHING INTERCHANGES. THEY ARE 100% DIFFERENT SYSTEMS. The manual slider is pretty reliable. The digital is hit or miss, I've had both in low and high mileage trucks. The digital, the temp control knobs will get to where they won't really adjust the temp. You'll spin them and it'll stay the same or barely move, you have to spin the VERY slowly to get the temp to change. Usually, you can pop the knobs off and spray some electrical cleaner in there, let it dry and put them back on and be ok. Also, the display will die sometimes or some of the buttons will quit working or the whole head unit will die. You'll have to replace the headunit at that point. YOU CANNOT CONVERT TO MANUAL/SLIDER. As I said, the whole system's different. Head unit/ducting/blend doors/harness/all of it from my research.

The manual is much more reliable. It can also die and you'll have to replace the headunit but they last alot longer. The LEDs will die in all of them (and the steering wheel controls, and the door switches, and the gauges lol) but they'll prob still be functional. My current '05 has the slider style and other than some LEDs being dead it works great.

You lose 5? i dont have 4. I really wish I had 4.
my truck in 2005 or 2006 was seen by dealer, and replaced the resistor and pigtail before this issue was formally acknowledged, gm had a special coverage that covered the full repair that included a new blower motor, resistor, and wiring (if wiring needed it) , and it expired in 2017.
I did not have the luck to do that, since GM acknowledged they needed a new blower motor paired with resistor, im gonna wait to do it at the same time.Ill retrofit a cabin air filter (sold under a part number as a kit to do gmt800-900 without one factory, 03+ basically.)

I want less dust. my interior is dusty. it spews everywhere. The manual AC is inherently dumb anyway, its almost as complex for less features

my motors are sometimes doing funky stuff, you can hear them whirring slowly and for prolongex, ill quickly snap the temp or outlet back and forth and it will get them to go where they need to be and stop moaning. i think that will help prolong life. my sliders for temp are the only unlit on my display lol. hard to see i just use my hand sideway to move themtogether

Crazy having the ability to have full heat on the left 2 and full cold on the right 2 vents, my park avenue can only change up to 8 degrees from the driver setting

I had an 04 briefly that gave me ac troubles. I eventually did what you did, cut the belt and move on. But I only had that truck for about 6 months. The 01 we have, and my 06 never gave any ac troubles. I only had my 02 for about 6 weeks before it was totaled, so I don’t count it.

of you ever repair it, converting to gen iv stretch belt for the AC only is a great way to repair that without the pricy tensioner because the AC tensioner both is insanely placed for long life reasons, and the belt is behiond the serpentine so its not ever in the way unless its time to remove AC comp.
