I have a 2008 chevy express 2500 extended. But he engine and set up is the same. But she is exactly right. Remove DOGHOUSE IN THE MIDDLE U DO NOT HAVE TO REMOVE SEATS just shift DOGHOUSE from side to side. Hose was definitely broken . Go to lowes or home depot and get 1/4 clear tubing .cut and repair vacuum hoses through fire walla and to the T located under battery rack. Easy fix. Video was awesome and Exact..THANKS
Thank you- I appreciate your kind words. I did remove the seat because it was easier for the video but definitely not necessary. So happy the video helped!
Thank you! I have the same problem and you pulling the engine cover really helped knowing where the vacuum line went in on top of the engine. I had notions of a major seek and destroy mission.
Bravo! you have made it simple. But I know that to remove a seat to access that it is hard working. Anyway you have solved a problem that "big guys" out there just try to scam everyone of us!👏👏👏
I appreciate that, there is so much great information in the videos on here. Thank you for letting me know that my video helped, it was a bit shaky at times but I’m glad everyone got the basic idea.
Exelente informacion. Pregunta para usted y para los que asen comentarios, tengo una Van del mismo modelo con el mismo problema, el tubito amarillo que se ve el el min 2:12 lleva un tapon normal o es como un check? Pregunto porqué revisando me di cuenta que no tiene esa pieza amarilla como si fuera un tapon, y al taparlo con la mano se siente que succiona aire, espero me entiendan y puedan contrstar. Gracias
It’s been awhile since I made this video but I will check. There shouldn’t be an open hose sucking air because it wouldn’t create a strong enough vacuum to open and close the actuator door, if it was open it would be the same as the cracked hose that I replaced. But I will still check- I won’t be able to see that delivery truck until next week though.
@@leannfisher6306 gracias por su pronta respuesta, cómo dice usted, no debería tener donde succionar aire, sino no haría en vacío, pondré un tapón" a modo de sellarlo. Gracias
plug in the actuator, turn the ignition to the run position (don’t start it). Hold the new (plugged in) actuator so you can see the door opening arm- turn the switch on the dash to change air flow, you will see it move to line up where you need it. Hope this helped, thanks for watching my video!

Good video. Subscribed because I have a 2005 myself
Thank you, I try to do a lot of the work myself. I can’t imagine how much this would have cost me if I had taken it to the shop.
How did you fish the hose back up from the hose to the t connect
Can you list the size and length of the black vacuum hose that went under the doghouse? Was that black hose also 1/4"?
I just used the old hose end for size and length.
Thank you so much❤❤❤
You’re welcome, hope you were able to fix your a/c as well!! 💕
Where is the cab air filter?
It doesn’t have one
How easy would it be to change the transmission on these? From the look of it
I’m not good enough to do the transmission on this but I did have it rebuilt not long ago, it cost a couple thousand but works great now.
How do you lineup the pin with the blendoor
plug in the actuator, turn the ignition to the run position (don’t start it). Hold the new (plugged in) actuator so you can see the door opening arm- turn the switch on the dash to change air flow, you will see it move to line up where you need it. Hope this helped, thanks for watching my video!
