Yes another great video. I like that you work from home which means you take pride in your work and your overhead cost are lower for you and your customers. Thank you 🇺🇸

GM SHOULD PAY FOR THIS SHIT NO MATTER HOW MANY MILES YOU HAVE, SO MUCH FOR BIG BROTHER WATCHING OVER YOU !!!

[@SilverDollarSaloon]

I have the exact same problem.Very good video.I am 1st going to take the condenser out and Aluminum weld the crack.If that doesn't work I will buy a new one.Readers do not buy a GM Dealer condenser, you will get the same leak as before in a few years.I had a warrenty replacement,3 years ago.Same exact leak now.What a bummer.I call this a GM service shop money maker.

[@ldleach3492]

Good video ~ I went ahead and took out the air box bracket ( 3 10mm bolts) made it a bit easier & one thing I also did , was replaced the ac line flat gaskets & transmission line o rings , yea know ( just in case they were damaged.

[@desbowen]

Awesome vid and it saved me a lot of money. My only issue was getting those top hoses off. Mine didn't just pull out so easily. I used a pair of channel locks to grip them (without damaging or crimping them) and tapped the side of the channel locks outward with a hammer. Worked like a charm.

[@kylerevans1751]

Very helpful comment

[@theuplandsasquatch]

Excellent video. My bird hunting rig has needed this for a while, and you took all the mystery for me. I'm looking forward to cool air on the way out to the field! Thanks!

[@dougmoon4338]

Thank you!!! My 2016 has this exact problem! Replace my looks relatively easy. Did you ever do the video on how to vacuum and charge the system?

[@fullmetalmidget]

I'm wondering that as well. Just had the condenser go up on my 17 silverado.

[@KD_Outdoors]

What about the charging video you said was in the description... couldn't find it.

[@fullmetalmidget]

@@KD_Outdoors I guess he never did it... i couldn't find it.

[@McGarveyton]

@@fullmetalmidget Chrisfix has a video on vac and charging

[@nickhorn681]

​@McGarveyton should someone doing this put any oil back in the system?

[@TheTruth23rd]

Perfect video for what I needed. Thank you sir!

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Thanks man💪

[@philiplocklear789]

Thanks, man. This video really helped me out tonight with my condenser replacement. I'll know tomorrow if it's repaired when I go get the freon filled. 😂

[@thestcroixkid]

Good vid...don't see a link to the recharge/oil vid though...?

[@twilightgirl811]

Thanks my Silverado is cold sometimes and hot most of the time this video helped

[@HereWeGoSteelers]

Have you had any issues or problems with the AC Condenser you listed? I am getting ready to repair my fathers 2015 GMC Sierra and I was trying to determine the best replacement part to order? Thanks for the great video

[@davewoeckener5719]

Where do you... and when do you put in... and how much PAG 46 oil do you put in? How come there are tons of videos on the unit replacement, but the corresponding information to the fine details are equally important!! Also the tranny fluid... rarely is this mentioned, and I have to do mine, but with the amount of videos explaining the R&R ... I can't find any two videos the same about talking about recharging and the importance of the other two fluids. PLEASE HELP!! I NEED TO DO MINE ASAP!

[@tyronnfields7945]

2 ounces per component...

[@vader2120]

It is my understanding that one should add 1oz of PAG oil after a condenser replacement. How did you add this to the condenser?

[@angelitoanalizapolitica427]

I just changed mine AC condenser.. it took me around 5 hours by my self.. mechanic made an estimate for $ 700 part cost 220 so I save 480 I did it today Sunday..

[@RossCravens]

Great video, I am going to tackle this when the condenser and gauges arrive, I am buying everything through the links you provided. Where is the link to the video how to recharge the system after the condenser swap?

[@3badges1familyrestorations53]

Great step by step explanation! Thank you.

[@wussboyd1]

Finally found the video im lookin for thank you.

[@EvanGannon-fb7rv]

By far the best diy video

[@choover1676]

Great job! I have a 2015 and not a I know where were to look for the leak. 👍🏻

[@beanzchevy9272]

Did u use same seals on the inlet and outlet port for the ac lines.

[@BARNEYFIFE317]

How much transmission fluid is lost. Fixing to replace my condensor

[@donwilkinson6450]

Just ran into problem in a 2018 Chev 1/2 ton. On warranty luckily. Hope they do as good a job as you do. Lots of details that need to be attended to. Dealer never mentioned a recall.

[@mrsstephanie613]

Lucky I just missed my warranty. And all dealerships say it's not a recall

[@ANTHONY31077]

Great video ...Can you check the link you posted? It seems like it's not the same condenser you replaced yours with. The one that pops up seems weaker than the one you used. Thank you

[@michaelverde4844]

@BoostedMotorsports agree with @ANTHONY31077 it seems like the link to the Amazon condenser is with the three tack welds. Can you confirm the one installed (with the solid welds) is the same link? Thanks!

[@Adman4290]

I see the same thing too. Should be the one with the full weld not the 3 tack welds

[@lanewarriorillridez3739]

Can this process be repeated on a 2015-2020 Cadillac Escalade ESV Platinum for AC condenser replacement?

[@donwilkinson6450]

Well done. Hope my dealer is as thorough. Dealer mum on cause or any recall on my 2018 Silverado

[@sbc_jake_9677]

I just received my spectra Condenser and I hounastly couldn't be more disappointed. I haven't even installed it and just by looking at it I can say that it's not going to last long because this Condenser is literally held together with tacks. Everything from the drier to the mounting tabs. As a fabricator I can tell you that if aluminum objects are just tacked together it is very very weak. Atleast the ac delco one had small stitch welds. Im thinking about either putting welds on it myself or returning it. But im not sure if the welding it will void the warranty

[@javiersanchez3061]

Is the condenser you got the same in this video?

[@sbc_jake_9677]

@@javiersanchez3061 yes

[@eduardoreyna5543]

Is there any seals that ne replacement needed?

[@pkizzle65]

Thanks for the video, really helped out and I went with the condenser you went with.

[@jonathansmith2056]

What condenser is it

[@thmj77]

Same thing with my 2016 Silverado. What brand condenser are you installing. I have and AC DC Aluminum welder will try to weld the crack. But I’m not an All Pro Welder so I’m replacing with a new but will also try to weld the factory condenser

[@quentinmartin4834]

That windshield wiper fluid reservoir area messed my wrist/arm up. It sucked, but now I went to the sand dunes off roading and my AC is out again. So I think I cracked the welds again. 😭

[@anthonybitseedy8612]

Where can I buy a condenser like yours my truck is a 2016 Chevy Silverado 4.3 V6

[@robertfrench80]

Nice repair video. Thanks! Is the dryer desiccant included with the replacement condenser?

[@nite__life]

Helped me out a lot appreciate it

[@joshuadodson6874]

My Tahoe needs a new evap coil!! In your opinion. How hard is it to take the dash apart? Thanks!!

where did you buy the Condenser Coil?

[@TheDbrewer31]

Where the link to the video about charging the unit that you said would be in the description?

[@sunshinesallday]

Great video John. Good explanation of how to change it out yourself. I wonder how much the shop rate on a job like that is. How much was the condenser? Thx

[@chuckkolancz4969]

Dealership quoted me $850. Found a condenser with quality reviews for less than $100

[@kennynelson3818]

I was just qouted 1,600 @ the dealership.

[@RSLY247]

Dealership quoted 150 to recharge and add the uv dye. Did it all myself for about 250.

[@bigmikeh5827]

Knoxville, Tn area just received quote 879.00. 375 is labor alone.

[@adamwhite3820]

I was just quoted 1800.00

[@jacobseifert1310]

What brand condenser? I have the same problem and bought a new condenser at o’Reillys and it definitely does not have a solid weld only 3 tack welds.

[@jacobseifert1310]

Just seen the link in description. Thanks

[@jacobseifert1310]

The picture on the Amazon link is not the same condenser.

[@julianason236]

@@jacobseifert1310 agreed! the condenser in the link also has the fragile tacks.

No

Does anyone know if this goes for Tahoe’s as well? It’s the 5.3 in a 2015 Tahoe.

[@johnsmith-qz4bv]

great work...

[@markbeeman6894]

I have an 04 Silverado in about once or twice a year the AC blows hot on the driver side and blows cold on the passenger side usually when it’s the hottest day of the year and I’m driving down the road so I pull over turn the car off and on, and usually it goes back on But if it doesn’t, I turn the motor off. I take both sides of the battery off for 10 minutes and then turn on the headlights. Keep the headlights on with the battery cables off for 10 minutes. At least let the access millivolts drain out of the system out of the computer system, turn the headlights off put the battery cables back on and it should work

[@Ghost_Of_FPV_1151]

Hello did you add the extra support or did it come like that?

[@somebb]

Looks like there's no link for the next video mentioned.

[@victorf405]

Think this just happened to my 2017 Sierra I thought it was the compressor if it’s just the condenser I’ll be happy

[@jodyhume6470]

What brand condenser was using

[@osvaldosalazar7774]

Thanks for the video. It helped. Only thing is the condenser is made in china. It has a lifetime warranty but still iffy.

[@juannatan1409]

So if it's over 100k miles is it out of warranty?? What is the Max's mile for the warranty to expire?

[@TIMEtoRIDE900]

Yeah - 2017 here, 85K miles

you should have cleaned that rad before putting in the condenser.

Why not just remove the cross bar only as opposed to everything you removed.
