2005 Questions
I came from a 96 Silverado and just upgraded to a 2005 5.3L Ext. Cab 2WD and have a few questions/concerns on it maybe some of you can help me out with.
1- When I put the fan control on recirculate (not A/C) it still blows cold. Seems like the same temperature as with the A/C on. Has anyone ever heard of this?
2- The front bump stops over the lower a-arm has a clearance of about 1" or less until it makes contact with the a-arm.The truck is stock height. Is that a normal gap?
I know I have a few more questions, but I'll post as I remember. Thanks for any help/suggestions.

TransAm,
Thanks for the reply.
On a day that is not real warm, but need cool air not cold, I'll just put the fan on cool setting recirculate w/o a/c. It blows clod just like the A/C would, but A/C light is not on.
As far as the suspension goes, it looks all stock to me.

RE: 2005 Questions
It sounds like you have a short in climate control system. I am not too familiar with that particular models system, it either is vacuum, wire, or electronically controlled. This might be far fetched but if you have a junk yard near by, go see if they have the same climate control system you do. You could probably get it for $20, if you were to go to a dealer in would cost around $300

RE: 2005 Questions
When you hit recirc button, that turns on the AC compressor if it is set to a cold enough temperature, my 05 Z71 is the same way.
it will blow AC on recircunless you crank the temp contol up some to a warmer setting, then it doesnt call for the compressor to run. Your bump stop gap is normal in the front also. mine touch onthe 072500HD if that tells you anything.
