Chris asks;  how do you change heat and a/c controls on a 2002 pont gran prix.

 

Chris, you need to carefully dig in there and remove the panel cluster. Of course a manual will help give you the step by step method of removal and replacement. Be sure to disconnect the battery before starting this task. good luck…

Craig says;  i have a 1997 tahoe automatic trans, it makes a loud clanking sound when i shift from park to r or d. any advice on what i can do to fix this or what it might be?

 

Craig, crawl under your machine and see if the transmission mounts are ok. If that is not the problem then take a close look at your u-joints. One of them or both are worn and need replacing. Thre u-joints are most likely the problem. The Tahoe probably shakes a bit while driving down the road and make some squeaking noises from underneath from worn u-joints. Replace immediately. Good luck…

Travis asks;  how do i remove heating core on 2000 jeep cherokee

 

Travis, the best I can tell you is to get a repair manual and follow it step by step. Heater cores are one of the most aggravating items to replace on most vehicles. Get the manual, it will save you a couple headaches. Good luck…
