In my 2000 Bravada I went to the Olds/Gm dealer and bought it for $100. I went to junk yard after junk yard to find it but found out that it is very common for that bar to be rusted through. I even had to jack up my transmission just to get it in the correct way. I even went to the local Walmart and bought some undercoating kinda like rino lining. Took a full day to get it sprayed and really covered. The next day I was able to put it in. It is not easy to do but it can be done.

Look for a big black box on drivers side of under hood area, maybe held by screws or clips, also loosen the screw on the metal clamp that is on the hose, after all is loosened / disassembled take out air filter and replace if needed, to check if filter is still able to function, put the light on top of filter and check from underneath, if you can see the light shining through the filter throughout the entire filter the filter is ok, if not replace it. Install is done same way but in reverse.

replace brakes the dragging and other noises you are hearing come from metal on metal ..........replace your brake pads

The good news is that the heater valve is open and the hoses are hot. The bad news is that the heater core is clogged. If it is not even warm, it needs to be replaced. If it does get at least a little warm that means it is partially clogged and could be flushed out.

The following are the general instructions on the start of diagnosing any electronically controlled engine or transmission problem.

The engine and the automatic transmission (transmission control is only for automatics, engine is still computer controlled no matter the transmission type) in this vehicle are computer controlled and in most cases when a fault occurs a fault code is stored in the memory of the computer control module. There are exceptions to this, such as the Mass Airflow Meter and fuel pressure problems. What must be done is to have all the basic testing done such as a scan of the system for fault codes as well as a check with a live data scanner tool for engine functions that are not within range of normal, a trained technician is required to know what is correct and what isn't, then based on careful diagnostics done from a factory repair manual the correct part is replaced or the wiring repaired or the computer replaced (known as the PCM or ECM,ECU), which is very rarely the problem. Other basic checks must be done as well such as mechanical problems with the engine as well as engine state of tune and mileage on the engine. The transmission can have mechanical issues as well such as no gear engagement at all or a failed pump or other pressure related problems. Also engine mechanical problems can and do cause many drive-ability related problem such as rough idle and other symptoms.
