I have 217,000 on my 2002 Z71 Avy. Motor, tranny, differential have all never been apart.,just fluid changes and normal maintenance.
Replaced all u joints at 200k. Great Truck .
Just recently control assembly for HVAC stopped working. I replaced the blower motor last year.
For a short time speeds, 1 and 5 were not working. Now all speeds do not activate. Anyone else experience this problem?
Any helpful tips are appreciated!
Failure modes.. In all my years & all my cars / trucks I've only had 2 of these fail, my '92 F150, lost high speed, replaced the resistor bank..., all good, my '88 Vette with digital / electronic HVAC controls, when the resistor (bank) failed, it put the fan in HIGH speed (only), even if the keys were removed. (very confusing to me) I had to unplug the $150 (corvette) resistor to kill the fan..Very likely the blower motor resistor is burned up.

Easy fix and the new part is an upgraded design.

Couldn't drive 3 more miles before the picture =) And wow that's low mileage for a 2007!
Trailer queen
My folks (94 & 93) have 1 car, an 07 Jeep Patriot they bought new, <15K on it.. a bona fide "driven by a little old lady to church on Sundays car"Hardly a trailer queen. I work overseas, and I only drove it when when I was home on vacation. You think 55K is bad, my mom only has 35K on hers and it's her daily driver. It's also a 2007 and I bought it brand new for her birthday. Every time I take it to the dealer for routine maintenance, they ask if I want to sell it. She loves it. No one expects an old lady to hop out a tricked out AV.
