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. Just amazed at the poor quality of GM these days. First had a transmission go out on my 2016 Silverado back in the Spring which cost me 7000 to get repaired. Now the air conditioning stopped working.

@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.
@BRE19625 ай бұрын
I was told a long time ago to put a hardware cloth in front of the condenser on the back side of my grill and I never did it. Now I'm having issues with the rocks that hit the front of it, not so much on the welds like this man is saying but I know the welds are leaking as well. But I think if you put hardware cloth behind your grill. After installing the new condenser it will prevent problems in the future

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 ?

Great video👍🏼before removing the ac lines from the condenser do I need to discharge the refrigerant and is there anything I should know of or do or I just go on and just remove all lines without doing anything
@FalconsGarage4 жыл бұрын
if there is freon still on the lines.. then yes they will need to be discharged.

If you still have freon why would you be changing the condenser?

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
@FalconsGarage2 жыл бұрын
thats normal to an extent .. you have the expansion valve on the fire wall there .. so you will hear it sometimes

Is It ok to spray paint the Condenser with High heat pain? My Truck is Black and the old Condenser is Black but when I ordered what I saw online which was Black, I ended up getting the standard aluminum color the company. I was told to just use High heat paint spray. Just want to know if its ok from another Mechanic.

Going to check this out today! Hopefully this is the issue, as when I checked my a/c with the 134a machine and sure enough it had nothing haha
