Thanks for the help. Replaced the AC tensioner and new AC belt. 2004 Tahoe Z71 - 216453 miles, 16 years, not bad.

One of the best things about this video is that you actually say wrench size so that I don't have to grab a handful of sockets and wrenches when I'm already laying on hot cement

I have an '08 GMC Yukon XL I was raised on preventive maintenance and care and my truck is proof that it works, 212k miles later and you can barely hear her idling and still has great compression

Sorry about my ignorance but how or why is the tensioner keep u from getting that cold air? What’s the tensioner purpose besides hold up the belt
@tmmcardle4 жыл бұрын
no belt, no a/c compressor operation, needs tight belt, so need tensioner

Rick, When it’s that Hot out you should use the air recirculate button to keep the air you already cooled in the vehicle. I see you cranked the vents to 5 but we’re using Hot outside intake air.

rickafix the noise is coming from the pulley that tuns to the compressor. sounds like metal on metal while the car runs. when I accelerate, it sounds like plastic is being hit
@RICKAFIX9 жыл бұрын
Dominic Wilkerson well then it prob the bearing in the clutch of the compressor...those can be replaced but usually easier replacing the whole compressor
@dominicwilkerson52179 жыл бұрын
Which is cheaper?
@RICKAFIX9 жыл бұрын
Dominic Wilkerson you can get a compressor 120ish pepboys always have 20 -35% off if you buy online and pick up at the store...but then you got to ad Freon / bleed the old system / dry it out which you can rent that vacuum for free .. its a tough call...does your ac work good? are you positive it coming from there and not another pulley or the fan clutch?

I've got 235,000 on my 2001 Yukon XL and she still runs like a Champ....only had a few issues with her....im a Firm believer of "You take care of your vehicle, and it will take care of you". *Question: @ 2:15-2:40 there l@@ks to be a ''crack' on something attached to your frame next to that bolt on the video ? It's on the closest view of your video. Just a note, didn't know what that was.

Hey Rick....if you stop it at 3:20, you can see in the upper left hand 1/4 of the screen closest to the camera a 'crack' on something? Got my a/c fixed today...Was So worried it was going to be a compressor. I knew i needed the belt replaced, and had them check my pressure and my schrader stems/valves were leaking also. Glad i got that changed before i head to Atlanta this weekend. Where in Florida do you visit ? I've spent A-lot of time in the Sarasota/Tampa area....Reeeeally miss the Gulf.

Thank you for this! Lift videos are worthless to the average person but in the future I see a way to do this without the hastle of removing the belts. The way that tensioner is it would be pretty easy to pop the belt to the side and take it off.
@colormesarge4 жыл бұрын
Can confirm, 100%, this works. I just used this comment to try it that way and if you're not replacing the belt, it's the way to go

Wait.. are you saying your BEST GAS MILAGE B4 THIS was 14MPG?!! Oh my! I bot a 2000 Silverado off a guy whose garage looked like a SPOTLESS Auto Parts Store! It ran like a dream & I've got on average 23MPG for the last 4 years! (AT 20 YEARS OLD!!) I bragged a little too much about it & a neighbor taught me why the word HATER started being used WHEN HE DOSED MY GAS WITH 2 GALLONS OF WATER!! Then when it STILL WOULDNT DIE.. HE DOSED IT AGAIN!! (I think with SODA!!) I went from accidentally starting it when it was running (cuz she was SOOOO QUITE!) to now getting 9MPG, MISFIRES & BACKFIRING. Thanks Ann Flagella & James Keene may the evil you send out come back to you times 10!! HATERS!

yes you can do it...if you get stuck just ask me a question...it is not a big deal...once the old belt is off spin the tensionor and the ac compressor to find the sequel...you also have 2 other tensionors that are on that same belt could be from those as well
@alanwhiteside4105 жыл бұрын
RICKAFIX Only one tensioner per belt. So that’s a total of two belt tensioners and two belts. You might have meant pulleys which there can be several pulleys depends on which belt your talking about.

Dominic Wilkerson you have two other pulleys on the serpentine belt.. loosen the belt and spin them and see which one is bad
@alanwhiteside4105 жыл бұрын
Dominic Wilkerson Try using a wooden stick like a cut off broom handle about 4 1/2 ‘ feet long and while the engine is running press one end of the stick near each Pulley (on a none moving area of course) and put your ear against the other end of the stick and listen for excessive noise but you’re bound to hear some noise you’ll know if it’s bad or not. Use the stick just like the doctor uses his stethoscope. ⚠️ But please be careful of the moving belt and pulleys, also no loose clothing or long hair near the moving parts! Note: I bought a nice wooden stick at Home Depot just for checking things like this it’s about 1” in diameter and about 4 1/2’ Long.
