Thank you thank you. You’re a good man for making this video. You didn’t have to but you did, in an effort to help your fellow man and I thank you very much.

[@alenedavis1212]

Thank you it was very helpful

[@user-pr4qd1rx9p]

Dustin. Great video.!!! On my 3rd A/C and 2nd transmission at 150k. Will never own another new GM product. After their gross negligence of not recalling known A/C issue due to “not a safety issue “. It is when you have kids and pets especially after spending over 60k along with buying all the aftermarket compressors and reselling them back to customers for triple the price this is a sore subject

[@jeramiehuffman9779]

Thank you so much! Found the exact same problem on mine! It took about 15 minutes start to finish. Saved me a lot of guesswork. New sub here.

[@rdvinas]

My 2015 Silverado with a 5.3 started blowing weakly yesterday. I found your video, found the leak, and replaced the condenser. Great help-style video. Thanks.

[@PaladinSix]

Dustin, thanks brother, your video saved me over $1000, my leak is in exactly the same spot as yours. I will be watching your video to change out the condenser, several times. Great job Dustin!!!

[@AlexPerez-fx7hz]

Damn this guy is awesome, and explains everything in a way that people can understand it , thanks brother . Keep making videos .

Just found my leak in same place....Thanks for your video- I would've never looked there if it wasn't for your video- Great Job

[@davidcampbell9132]

your video helped me find what a mechanic couldn't find, also I have to complement you for not going into to much detail but giving the details needed. Thank you very much.

[@JMyL77]

Thank you very much! After watching your video I checked the condenser on my 2014 Chevy Silverado and sure enough I saw the oily spot on the same location, I was even thinking about buying a new truck but now I’m going to get it fixed and keep it, once again thanks.

[@tommycoppa7481]

I’m on my second round of no ac in 2 years. This time I’m on my own. I found it in the exact same spot as yours! Thanks for the video. You’re the king!

[@kebmo6630]

Same, same spot

[@craigshaffer9970]

Have a 2015 Silverado with same exact problem. thanks so much for your help !!! keep up the good work-Craig

[@davidfoulk3078]

Thank you for taking the time to make this informative video.This is reason #173 for me giving up on all GM.

[@erpoolerful]

Awesome video. I checked all the spots you mentioned and damn I found the pin hole leak in AC condenser, same place as yours. Thank for posting the video.

[@mookiefinn4732]

Very informative, really good video. Straight to the point. Same problem with my 2015 1500.

[@MultiD12345678]

Recently just bought a 2014 GMC Sierra and after 2 weeks a/c started blowing hot air so I will definitely be checking those areas and fix it. Thanks bro !

[@tuckerswem5264]

Found you video after my ‘16 Silverado 1500 started blowing warm air. I had the leak in the exact same place. Thanks for the video!

[@matthewalan1595]

A/C went out the other day in my 2014. Put some r-134a in it and it’s good as new, for now at least. Thanks for the video!

[@adriantrejo6696]

That’s what I’m planning to do right now it’s hot af in Texas lol, need to do it as a quick fix while my mechanic is busy, it’s a damn shame

[@marcrockburn3195]

Thanks so much for this video dude, you are saving me so much money!!! Take care and be safe.

[@benwhatley1380]

Hey thanks a lot man! I put dye in it and couldn’t find it anywhere finally found it on the condenser same exact spot. Must be pretty common

[@cs8880]

Thank you, this video was very helpful. My 2014 Silverado started blowing hot air on a road trip last year right before winter season. It's already getting hot here now and I can see these little 12 volt fans I bought aren't gonna cut it lol

[@DustinT]

Haha I know the feeling buddy! I’m spoiled to the AC! Luckily it’s a pretty easy fix, and you can save a lot of money doing it yourself

[@cs8880]

Soooooo upon further inspection I found out that the problem was my AC compressor clutch. Inspection probably isn't the correct word.....more like stumbled upon. I left my amps on over night by mistake. When I went to start the truck.....nothin, no juice left in the batteries (I'm running 3 BTW 😆). So as I'm hooking up the jump box to the main battery under the hood I just happened to notice that the AC clutch is just laying there on my skid plate and right next to it was the bolt that was holding on to the coil. The front rubber piece separated itself from the actual clutch as well. Got the clutch, coil, stretch belt, and stretch belt tool from Rockauto.com for $130 bucks and replaced it without removing the compressor. It was a bit of a pain in the @ss but totally worth it cause now she's blowing snow balls again. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos brother, they really are informative and helpful so keep up the good work! !

[@ismaelnavarro5580]

Lol, I had the same leak on my 14 sierra 2 yrs ago. Dealership wanted about a grand to repair it. I think they wanted for 400 for the condenser itself. Like you said they were on back order and was going to take a month or 2 just to get it. I ended up finding one online for 160. The install was fairly simple. I paid a mechanic 40 to recharge the a/c afterwards.

[@johnbohn8697]

One thing I want to hit on by this great video, if you see your vehicle blowing hot and then look at your clutch and it goes on and off use the A/C gauge like he was saying and if its in the red or yellow take a screw driver with a tip and slightly push in until the gauge is on the blue and then check your A/C this has fixed alot of problems alone due to when overfilled the stress on the compressor is great. Thx to everyone who makes videos to help others and gives advice.

[@sam981963]

Thanks for the vid You helped me find and fix the issue with my 2014 Silverado.

[@thomasmauldin266]

Thanks for the video. The day after we bought my wife a new car and I put the truck in my name, the AC quit blowing cold air. Followed your video and sure enough the leak was at the same weld that you showed. Mechanic says he has replaced about 50 condensers and would be no problem to repair

[@GMGM-ql7vi]

Thanks man! Exactly where my problem is and I found it.

[@kirkhatch5728]

Will be checking out all the points you mentioned. Thanks for the info.

[@bucksolo703]

Dude awesome video i did the same thing i bought my 14 model in dec of 18 the compressor not spinning solved my problem you are awesome

[@joshlong4273]

My a/c just went out on my 2015 GMC Sierra 42k miles. I bet it has the same leak everyone else is having . Thank you for showing me what to do to fix it.

[@jackrigdon9476]

AC went out on my 14 yesterday, thanks 4 this video!

[@DustinT]

Glad to help buddy!

[@trankaboogie]

This video got me pointed in the right direction. Thanks so much for posting this!

[@DustinT]

Glad I could help!

[@justlooking2013]

Thanks, after watching your vid mine is leaking in the exact same place.

[@mandingo6821]

Thank you for being soooo thorough on ALL your videos

[@eldonlflaigjr8159]

This is a great DIY video for troubleshooting the A/C system for a 2014 Chevy or GMC!

[@KeptForJesus]

Thank you so much for posting this, I’m going to attempt to fix it myself and come back with an update. The shops near me want about a grand and this seems easy enough for me to do.

[@KeptForJesus]

My man! Good news and bad news. I went ahead and checked with the light, come to find out that weld had some leakage around it, PRIOR to me doing anything. So, I have an idea as to what the previous owner went through. They had also used UV and possibly leak stop. I went ahead and emptied my tiny little can just to confirm, huge UV blowup at that same weld. Yelp! At least now I know the problem AND I will be referring to your next video as soon as my new part gets here. Thank you! 🙏🏻

[@davidstader4152]

Good video man. My 2014 AC died yesterday, 31k miles. Very informative. Thanks for posting.

[@bigjmscrltt]

Thks, checked mine and weld was leaking on condenser. Good video, saved me $$$ 2014 silverado

[@gutiesan]

THANKS ! I learned alot. I am very good with wrenching engines and car/truck electronics but never had worked on any A/C stuff.

[@88Gatorman]

Thanks for the assistance. I didn't even have to do all your steps. Looked in behind the grill and there's an oily green spot right where you had a leak on that top weld connection. I had already researched and knew GM had an issue with a leak on the condensers but wasn't sure where. I guess they extended warranty on some to 5 yrs or 60,000 miles but I'm at 63,000 on my 2015. I have a call into the local service manager but if they won't fix it I'm going to try a can of refrigerant with sealant. But if I need to replace the condenser I know where to go for instructions, I saved your link. I haven't watched your repair video but mine is a Z71 and has a transmission cooler. I hate to mess with all of those connections. Anyways, thanks again!

[@jessemartinez1275]

Thanks for the video, it was very informative after watching video I was able to find the leak in the exact spot on condensor.

[@lepplajk]

Ty. Very helpful. Took my 2014 high country into shop. They replaced top line going thru dryer port. Still no ac. They said they evacuated. I spilled Freon on my top line. Not sure it needed replaced. I will ask them to add UV Freon and check the bottom compressor line and condenser! I was thinking a nut was loose on evaporator but you point to common problems. Great info!

[@sierrahotel6754]

Outstanding explanation. great job. Thank you

[@badbrewsy4937]

Very helpful video my 14 just crapped out today at 52,000. If it wasn’t for this I probably would have just “flex sealed” the damn thing.

[@ericsaltzman6435]

Thanks for the video my exact issue! Thanks for your time.

[@josecaliman9034]

I have a 2014 GMC sierra. My A/C just stopped working. I will look into it as you did. I'll be back with a update. This is a good starting point. Thanks.

[@briansmith8438]

good info, thank you, i have a 2014 silverado air quit working i filled and it worked for a day. so after your video, ill look for the leak. thanks again

[@DustinT]

Glad I could help! Let me know if you find the leak or need any assistance!

[@briansmith8438]

Eric Dukes yes i fixed it works great now

[@romancordova89]

Thanks very helpful video mine is a 2016 ltz is leaking from same spot as yours

[@m.5051]

I've only had problems with my 2014 Silverado and this is the latest. This will be the last GM I ever buy. Feels good to say it.

[@Nate-vz5kr]

2014 silverado here also. Leaking same area. Didn't need uv light cause it was that bad lol. Thanks for video

[@ammyb7]

Awesome video. Thanks for helping out! Dealership wants to charge $200 just for AC diagnostics

[@billycooper4440]

Great video, very informative thanks Dustin

[@kebner17]

I have the exact same leak on 2015 GMC Sierra. This video was great even if the lighting was sketchy. Now to watch the replacing the condenser video! Weekend warrior like yourself, thanks for saving me $100's of dollars!

[@pipeliner188]

Awesome . you've given me confidence and encouragement. My fuses were good. Im following your advise. Thanks brother.

[@DustinT]

Glad I could help buddy! Let me know if you run into any issues!

[@nikko3853]

Thanks Brother. Good video, my AC just went out on my 14 with only 45k miles.

[@DustinT]

Anytime buddy, thanks for the support! Are you going to tackle this project yourself?

[@nikko3853]

Dustin T already done actually! No leak fortunately.

[@jessicaconklin7985]

Hey thanks for the video. I wanted to add i just had the same exact leak you did and while searching the internet for condenser price i found out there is an extended warranty for a failure in that location. Copied from a site below. Thought it would be good info for some. General Motors (GM) has extended the warranty coverage on some model year 2015-2017 Chevrolet Tahoe, Chevrolet Suburban, GMC Yukon, GMC Yukon XL, Cadillac Escalade, and Cadillac Escalade ESV vehicles that may experience cracked combination transmission fluid oil and AC condenser coolers. This warranty extension covers air conditioning condenser refrigerant leaks at the coupler located at the upper right coupler as viewed from the front of the vehicle.

[@frankd7558]

Nice video. I have a 2014 Sierra and had the same issue and leak in same spot

[@CatFishMarmite]

My 2015 Sierra was leaking from the exact same spot. Thanks for the video

[@nathangreen5129]

Thanks for the video. Mine was leaking in the same spot on the condenser.

[@ericcorbin6578]

Great help pal thanks for the video!

[@davidgibson5226]

I was not pleased with the performance of my ac since I got my 2014 sierra a year ago. My truck would overheat when pulling a load. Then the ac really became intermittent. A mechanic told me the radiator was clogged and needed to be replaced. I began looking into a new radiator and ended up holding off. I was looking into the ac issue and kind of zeroed in on the heat blend door. So I get into the dash to checkbit out and the actuator motor runs perfectly. I was thinking "what am I missing?" The grand fix saved me a lot of time and money... washed out the radiator! It didn't look bad, but wow the amount of dirt and leave that were between the ac condenser radiator and the mane radiator. They are both the same size and the ac radiator sits in front of the other. So it was blocking the air from cooling the engine. Fixed both issues at the same time.

[@adampotts5174]

Thanks for the help. Found my issue before spending on the wrong item

[@johnf9874]

Really well done video!

[@rcatastrophe]

Excellent job. Air started blowing warm in my 2014 Silverado yesterday and hoped to find exactly this type of diagnostic video. This shows me where to look and what to look for. Thank you.

[@DustinT]

Thank you! Should you find it is your condenser and are handy with hand tools I’ve got a video demonstratiing how to replace it. So far I’ve got 2+ years and 30k+ miles on my new one still running flawless.

[@BigMike0331]

Thanks for the video man. Good job.

[@DustinT]

Thanks buddy, glad I could help!

[@michaelkeener6522]

Fixed exact same leak 1 year ago and still holding. Used $5 fast drying epoxy, sandpaper, and brake cleaner. Took about 15 minutes and did all work reaching through the front grill (mine GMC 2016 Sierrra)

[@KeptForJesus]

Do you have a video or quick explanation? Lol this sounds good. Still holding up?

[@nathantibbets3050]

I have a 14 with the same issue. New sub here.

[@lobo9806]

i saw this video after spending 500 dolars with a mecanic that didnt fix the problem i was able to find the ac freon lek nd fixit my self after watching this video.thank you

[@jorgesanchez4406]

I have a 15 Yukon and my ac went out this past Monday I called GMC Hardin in Anaheim and they said that there's a recall on certain gm trucks. They ran my vin number and mine came up and got fixed for free. Thank God because I didn't want to spend 1k on the repair. You guys have to call the dealer and see if your vin number is covered. It has to have less than 60k miles.

[@WorkerBeesUnite]

You’re an mvp

[@crwilson1017]

Mine went out during the period you spoke of. It cost me $1200 to fix. The issue was so widespread I found it appalling that GM didn't issue a recall. Sadly, my trip here to this video is a result of the AC going out AGAIN TODAY! But thanks for the info

[@hacksawjimthuggin7411]

Recalls are for safety issues. Be appalled.

[@javiersaenz1789]

So helpful!!!! Thank you!!!!

[@DustinT]

Glad I could help buddy!

[@rickfred2303]

Had a certified pre-owned 2014 GMC sierra with same problem. My AC condensor had a freon leak starting 2 months after warranty period. Dealership wanted 1307 to fix it! They offered only 10% financial support. This is a very common problem in these trucks and they are offering more financial assistance for some of the newer models that have the same issue. That was not the case for me. GM needs to own up to this problem and help out their customers. Some other AC shops I have been to have said this is a very common problem in the 2014 sierras and they only charge around 800 with the dealership condenser.

[@donvergas9350]

Good video man! Thank you

[@andrewbrown4662]

Thanks Dustin I was just quoted 850 to replace the condenser, video was great. Maybe work on your lighting. However you did just save me 500 bucks. Good looking out

[@MrWoodchuckVT]

Thanks man, i will try it and let you know

[@DustinT]

Awesome! Best of luck, look forward to hearing from you!

[@SuperSlik50]

Thank you. Got a 2015 silverado

[@iamjustbill]

Awesome video. Thank you!

[@Rypie89]

I had a 2014 Silverado and the A/C was starting to go out. Wasn't blowing as cold when new and I had it for 3 years with only 11,000 miles on it. I got a new 2017 Sierra and I can tell the A/C lines are different from the 2014-2015 models. Had the Sierra for a year now with only 1500 miles on it hopefully no problems to come. And on my Silverado the paint started peeling off by the third brake light witch pissed me off!

[@strokedogplayer9551]

Great video bro!! My 2014 blew at the condenser at 95 miles and now at 53k it’s running cool on low speed and warmer on higher blower speed. Cabin filter or something like what you posted in this video?? Thank you! Update...I just looked and can already see it’s in the same spot as yours. I’ll be checking out your replacement video.

[@devinmoser5597]

On point! Thanks bud!!!

[@tpkp111]

Great video...thanks!

[@gatesyslots]

Very nice video, nicely done

[@1735mike]

Thanks for the vid

[@shanehicks5012]

Great video,

[@Jarhead6]

if the AC fuse is out, would the truck still blow HOT air? The compressor is not spinning just like you show yours in the beginning. Thanks!

[@lacruzdcruz2811]

Great video do this parts is cover by GM 5 years guarantee on 2016 Yukon?

[@kentran8946]

great video, thank you

[@Silly46337]

How did you fix your leak. I have the same one on that weld in the front grill

[@pellonda1]

Thanks for the video. I have a 2014 Silverado my ac is blowing hot air compresor is turning on and engaging normal not sure what can be wrong with it any ideas will b apreciated

[@BlakeRobison-jh3ft]

U seem like a great dude bro

[@hethcoxv]

It's very common for the cambi tank to leak. That's what the tank off the side of the condenser is called... there is a special policy on some of the truck. That condenser is the same on silverado ,Sierra , yukon, tahoe suburban, and escalade also. We put 3 or 4 a week in at my dealership.. Gm has a updated bracket to go with the new a.c. line also for that truck.

[@twistedpain183]

What's the part # for that bracket?

[@donaverill9027]

Great video. Just an FYI there is a class action lawsuit against GM for this reason. I suggest to google it and register. This way if a decision is ever made in consumer favor and you KEEP YOUR RECIEPTS, you can be reimbursed. Like the video stated its a 1k fix at the dealer.

[@farrelbedoni8494]

Thanks for the info.

[@davidaustin9927]

I remember when they use to be built like a rock I don't think No one at Gm puts pride into these trucks anymore

[@erickcontreras2238]

Big help thanks

[@ryanadam1153]

Awesome video!!! Cheers.

[@DustinT]

Thanks buddy!

[@williamdunsonjr2284]

I had this same problem in the mist of of South Carolina Spring/Summer.

[@stanmcelroy3758]

So I have 2014 z71, we have not found any leaks full of freon everything seems to work the way it's suppose to but I was told it could be the low pressure switch or the high pressure switch any knowledge you can share would be helpful on this matter,

[@cristianmacias1032]

great videos

[@Cootykathy1983]

So helpful.

[@easyhangit604]

2017 sierra same shity condenser. 90,000 miles. Check fuse #22 and 26. They control your hvac electronics.

[@Urbestieee18]

Thank you very much, awesome video bud. 3/6/23
