  Q: How to replace the liftgate emblem/nameplate on Chevrolet Uplander?

  A: A Chevrolet liftgate emblem/nameplate replacement starts with 2 tools: J 25070 Heat Gun and 3M(TM) Scotch Brite molding adhesive remover disk (3M(TM) P/N 07501). Start by covering the body area and then locate the right locations for your new emblem. Point the Heat Gun J 25070 at the surface from 152 mm (6 in) for 30 seconds as you rotate it to loosen the adhesive. Use a plastic tool with a flat blade to take out the emblem/nameplate from its position. Body panels need the 3M(TM) P/N 07501 Scotch Brite molding adhesive remover disk but plastic panels work better with a lint-free cloth soaked in varnish makers and painters (VMP) naphtha or 50/50 isopropyl alcohol and water. Clean and dry the area thoroughly before installation and put tapes at the installation positions to mark them if required. Install the Chevrolet emblem/nameplate on top of the license plate pocket by following set dimensions that center the UPLANDER symbol. Attach the emblem/nameplate when the mounting surface reaches 27-41°C (80-105°F) using the Heat Gun (J 25070) and keep the emblem/nameplate temperature between 29-32°C (85-90°F). Press the emblem/nameplate onto the surface by matching placement marks and applying uniform pressure after you remove its protective film. End your process by taking off the body panel protection tape.

  Q: How to replace the lower intake manifold on Chevrolet Uplander?

  A: In order to replace the lower Intake Manifold, start off by removing the coolant crossover pipe by removing the upper Intake Manifold as well. Then remove the left and right valve Rocker Arm covers, disconnect the engine coolant temperature (ECT) electrical connection, and remove the fuel feed line from the Fuel Rail. Disconnnect the wastegate electric connector from the throttle body and identify the number on the tube grommet at the top of the thermostat airflow tube. Remove the thermostat airflow tube. Remove the grommet plug at the top of the throttle body bypass tube. Put a flat pry tool between bypass tube clamp and tube. Disconnnect the accelerator valve exhaust connector from the passenger side of the throttle body. Then remove the second accelerator valve exhaust connector on the driver side of throttle body. Next, unfasten the Fuel Injector harness connector bracket bolt, disconnect the cmp sensor electrical connector, remove the Fuel Injector rail bolts & pull off the Fuel Rail. Go ahead and remove the lower Intake Manifold bolts and the lower Intake Manifold as well. Loosen the valve Rocker Arm bolts and make sure to get the valve train components on a rack for return installment. Unscrew the valve rocker arms and push rods, make sure that the intake push rods stretch to 147.51mm (5.81inch) and the exhaust push rod to 154.87mm (6.1 inch). The lower Intake Manifold gaskets and seals are to be removed followed by cleaning gasket and seal surfaces of cylinder heads and the engine block, and the lower Intake Manifold with degreaser and eliminating any loose room temperature vulcanizing sealer (RTV). Mount the new lower Intake Manifold gaskets and seals, prelubel the ends of the push rods, and put the push rods back in their positions. Apply prelube to the Rocker Arm friction surfaces, and replace valve rocker arms with their original positions, using 34 n.m (25 lb ft) torque to tighten the valve rocker arms bolts. Replace the gaskets and seals before you apply a small amount of rtv sealer to the four corners of the Intake Manifold to engine block joints before installing the lower Intake Manifold. Put sealer on the lower Intake Manifold bolt threads and install the lower Intake Manifold bolts in the sequence as specified: first to 16 n.m (12 lb ft) and then to 25 n.m (18 lb ft). Check for Fuel Rail damage, inspection of fuel injectors and Fuel Injector o-rings for the purpose of which they must be lubricated with engine oil, install injector nozzles into the lower Intake Manifold injector bores, using pressure from the injector rail until fully seated. Install the Fuel Injector rail bolts in 10 n.m (89 lb in), then connect the cmp sensor electrical connector, place the Fuel Injector harness connector bracket to the Intake Manifold and install a bracket bolt in 8 n.m (71 lb in). Hook up the engine harness electrical connector through the Fuel Injector wiring harness, address the cpa retainer, and address the fuel feed line and Fuel Rail. Lastly, reconnect the ect electrical connector and install the right and left valve Rocker Arm covers, the upper Intake Manifold, and the coolant crossover pipe.

  Q: How to replace a water pump on Chevrolet Uplander?

  A: To install the new Water Pump first empty the cooling system then loosen the Water Pump Pulley bolts and take off the Drive Belt. First remove both types of Water Pump Pulley bolts to loosen the attached devices. Then detach the Water Pump bolts, gasket, and element. Ensure the pump faces are clean prior to setting the Water Pump gasket and pump. Fasten the Water Pump bolts and secure them at 10 nm torque. Install the Water Pump Pulley and bolt it lightly before putting on the Drive Belt. Afterwards, bolt the Water Pump Pulley with 25 nm (18 ft. Lbs.) torque. End by filling the cooling system and checking for fluid leaks.
