I have 2002 Envoy--7.5 years old with 79,000 mi. I am due for oil change/tire rotation. What else should I consider having done? 1) Brakes have been "checked" each rotation; so far they have said no problem. Is it unusual to go 7 years/79,000 mi. with no brake tuneup? How long these normally go before they need new pads/ rotor turned? 2) What about belts and hoses? How long do these usually last before people have been changing for new ones? 3) Coolant, transmission fluid, air filter up-to-date and not due. 4) Should I get new axle fluid? It's never been changed. 5) Factory tires are still doing OK at 79,000. Thanks for suggestions. |

Just bought a 2006 Rainier. I had a local RV dealer install my Tekonsha Voyager brake controller that was working fine on a previous truck two weeks ago.. The installer expressed concern; wondering if the brakes were going to work but he still let it leave out the door. The electric brakes aren't working. The light on the controller is not on when hooked up to the camper. Camper turn signals, taillights, etc all work fine; just no brakes. One person told me that it probably needed a fuse...but info here has said the fuse/battery connection is unrelated to the electric brakes. Any ideas or thoughts? Thanks, Mike

There quite typically is a fuse in the main line that supplies current to the trailer brakes, since it's usually wired directly to a 12V source. It could be an inline block type fuse (30Amp). The controller itself is probably fused also. The camper lights don't have anything to do with it, they are different circuits. |

Replying to: msmith7113 (Jul 27, 2009 8:30 am) Turned out the 30 amp fuse under the hood was blown. Replaced the fuse and now everything is good. I should have checked this first; but I had misunderstood some previous postings on the subject....thinking a fuse was not involved with the electric brake circuit. Thank you so much for the help, Mike |

Replying to: pepito51 (Jul 25, 2009 6:11 pm) Other than that, my 2002 just hit 109k. Never had belts changed, after I asked the mechanic to look at them, he said not to bother, all the other stuff you mentioned i did for the first time at 100k, except for air filter. been such a low maintanence vehicle. the only issues were redoing the brakes around 70k, got screwed by midas on that. had two rear shocks replaced at 100k for cheap. of course my fan clutch is LOUD, but the mechanic said it would prob cost $400-$500 and even then he couldn't guarantee the new one wouldn't do teh same thing. |
