I just replaced mine on my '14 Silverado a few days ago after watching your video and a couple others, so as to be sure that I knew exactly what I was getting into and what I had to do. I must say the 2 middle bolts on the cross brace were a complete pain in the arse, especially the drivers side behind the windshield washer fluid tank. Other than that the replacement wasn't too hateful, just time consuming. I purchased a vacuum pump prior to doing the job, so I did the vacuuming of the system and recharging of the refrigerant myself too. I didn't have to worry about evacuating the old refrigerant because due to the leak there was none in the system to remove. So far (fingers crossed) everything seems to be good and AC is working fine right now, lol. After seeing how much it could cost at a shop or dealership there was absolutely no way I was willing to pay that much when after pricing out everything (condenser, vacuum pump, freon, ect...) it wound up costing me a quarter to a third of the cost by doing myself. Thanks for the video, it really helped me make my decision and saved me a ton of money.

Great job on the repair. Thanks for making the video. The OEM condensers are very hard to get, about a 2 months wait at my local dealer. Napa has a few in stock and was lucky enough to get one.

@HataZetsumei2 жыл бұрын
A metal condenser? Isnt Aluminum metal? Also its is made of aluminum due to its head conductivity properties as it needs to dissipate heat so you cant just make it out of any old metal. It was an iditiotic design of using tack welds to hold mounting brackets that are also at a seam where the drier tank is welded to the fins.

Did you guys hear a hissing from under the passenger side dash. Before your a/c went out? I have a 2017 kept hearing a hissing noise and my a/c stopped working

thats normal to an extent .. you have the expansion valve on the fire wall there .. so you will hear it sometimes

Great video. One question: we don’t have the AC equipment that you do. Can we replace it and then drive it to a mechanic and have them draw a vacuum on it and charge it or no?

Yeah, you could

Could you link me what AC condenser I should buy for this to not be a problem I have a 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500 and I don’t want to have to deal with this anymore is there any higher quality condenser ?

dealers should have updated version

The drier is attached to the condenser correct? Both drier and condenser are one piece?

Hola falcon tengo una pregunta., tengo una gmc sierra 2018 y es la segunda ves que recargo el a/c pero sigue gastandolo o igual tiene un lik., piensas que lo más probable sea el condensador o ai otros partes que likean o que se puedan cambiar
