- 2017 Chevy Silverado High Country with a 6.2 liter engine. I am replacing the ac compressor and the condenser on this truck. I am also replacing the expansion valve. Everything called for about 4 hours and this truck takes r-1234yf freon. It used a kit to fix the truck as it was cheaper for me to buy everything that way. But I will list all the parts below along with the tools I used so you can see what I used.
Parts:
AC Compressor: amzn.to/3JSXiJx
Condenser: amzn.to/3JYWZwS
Freon: amzn.to/3JZ8t3c
Stretch Belt: amzn.to/3rviRcL
Pag Oil: amzn.to/3Oevjqk
AC Seal Kit: amzn.to/3O9q2jD
Tools:
Gauge Set: amzn.to/3pFAqGB
Vacuum Pump: amzn.to/3ObvEKm
Stretch Belt Tool: amzn.to/3pO50O9

This has to be the best video explanation ever .......... Very simple to the point no over explaining......just watch and learn.
Thank you for the comment. I really appreciate it and glad that you enjoyed the video. I hope it helped you out as well.
You opening up car parts it’s like ASMR haha
Maybe I'll do a compilation of package opening as a video one day for all the asmr folks then.
I'm guessing these would be the same instructions for a 2015 Tahoe also, right?
It is pretty much the same procedure. It may have a line or so that is a little different routing wise.
If belt good can walk it off by turning the crank shaft with 24mm/ 15/16 socket
Yeah that is true. I normally always quote a belt with the job just to be safe. I have seen lately that some compressor will not warranty a compressor now unless you change the belt, especially if it is a stretch belt, and most require you to flush the system no matter what too. But if the belt is in good condition you are right, you can always walk them off just like you put them on.
had a mechanic do motor mounts because I had a back injury.. he left the damn plug off the back of that AC pump.. Turns out with that disconnected, the clutch will engage however no cold air.. I'm assuming that is some type of pressure switch or valve that stops the flow of freon? I got it connected however it was after I pulled the lines and discharged the system.. The guy said to bring it in and he will do the draw down and 1234yf charge for free.. this is why i have trust issues with 'mechanics'..
I fully understand that. That is one reason I started doing the videos as well to show my customers that I actually change stuff and I try to show me running the vehicles at the end as well. There is a pressure switch both high and low for this.
I’m having some AC problems with my 2017 Silverado. AC works great until it gets really hot outside (mid 90s and above), then it starts blowing warm air. Pressure in the lines is good, doesn’t appear to be leaking refrigerant anywhere. I’m wondering if it’s a bad pressure switch. Where are they on these trucks? It looked like one on the back of the compressor? Where’s the other?
Do you have a temp gun? If so, check the temperature across the condenser to see if it is a lot hotter on one side versus the other.
@@operationoverhaul I don’t, but I could get one and try it. That said, the condenser was replaced just a few month back and the whole system recharged. I’ve only had the truck a month, so it was the previous owner that did it. The condenser looks brand new though, so I would imagine it’s not the culprit.
@DevinGrindy if it has been replaced I would check the pressure switch. There is one on the compressor and then one on the high pressure line. I believe it is near the condenser on the driver side but I cannot remember. It may also be closer to the compressor.
@@operationoverhaul I appreciate it!
@DevinGrindy your welcome and if you need anything more help or anything let me know
Would be good clean (flushing)system before filling up (why ac doesn’t work before)just my thought
It is a good idea and many times a compressor is not have a warranty unless you change the condenser or flush the system. Typically I flush the system if I do not change the condenser.
The only info I can find for my 2015 Suburban shows that they use 6.6oz of PAG46 oil. My compressor came pre-filled with 3oz of 1234yf oil and says that if my system requires PAG46, I need to drain the oil and refill it with the PAG46
What the hell in the correct info??? Thanks
Service data on my end shows 6.6 oz of pag46. So I would drain the compressor and then put in the 6.6 oz
@@operationoverhaul thanks for the info! I wonder why your vehicle and mine would use a different oil 🤷🏻♂️
@@joeshmoe12301230 is your truck yf1234
So I just got to replace my compressor and would to replace my drier too?
If you are not doing a condenser I would at least do the drier bag, seals, and flush the system.
Just got quoted $2500 to replace compressor and condenser , is this about right or am I getting ripped ?
How similar would this job be on a 2016 Tahoe
This should be very similar if not the exact same procedure. Normally the tahoe, silverados, suburbans, yukon and xl, and sierras are all about the same as far as engines. The are a few differences but mostly the same.
Currently having problems with my 14 Silverado ac is cold sometimes then just starts blowing warm/cool air not cold. Pressure is good high and low pressure switch is testing good replaced relay all blend doors are working correctly and no codes you can hear the clutch working but has a very slight rattling noise. But it’s always done this.
Any ideas what to test next
Thanks
Does it get cooler when you ate driving and hotter when at a stop?
Check to see if the auxiliary fan is coming on
@kerrwilson265 that is what I was going to say especially if it gets warmer when stopped
I have a 2014 Silverado. I click the link for the ac compressor it shows me a RYC compressor not a Murray like in the video. Are all Murray AC components all owned by O’Rileys auto?
No they are not owned by oreilly. I can get you a link to the Murray if you would like. I'll get it for you tonight when I get home.
Yeah that would be great. I looked all over the internet. I can not find Murray Climate Control website anywhere. But I do believe O Riley’s owns the trademark for Murray. No other parts store sells that brand.
You are correct. I looked it up and Murray was purchased by Oreilly's Auto. I also discovered that RYC and Four Seasons are sister companies as well. So a RYC and Four Seasons (I think Napa carries them) are the made in the same factory. I could not find a link to a Murray for you. The RYC is the only one I can find. Sorry about that.
No problem. I just wanted to double check some of the part numbers before I purchased and came along all of this. I do know RYC has a website but even putting all my info in. It shows a couple of kits but It doesn’t show the difference. So I have tried calling them and I emailed them waiting on a response. But your video is very helpful. I just like doing a lot of investigating before I purchase. Just so I have all the right stuff here when I go tearing it down.
I wish more people would be like you and research stuff before purchasing. Sometimes more expensive is not always the best option. If you need anything else feel free to contact me. I will help out as much as I can.
I put two compressors on and they both making noise when I try to charge it
What kind of noise is it making?
Screaming
Tryn to lock up
Sounds like the clutches are bad on them. Can you measure the air gap on the clutches and let me know what they read? It should be between .4 to .7 mm air gap on these.
Do you have details about the recall?
I'll get the details of the recall for you when I home from vacation.
@@operationoverhaul thanks!
Anything about the recall? Im just wondering how i can reach out to get reimbursed. I have a 2015 1500, that i yet have to fix
@muddy7776 www.lieffcabraser.com/defect/gm-air-conditioning/ try this site and it will let you know more about it.
@@eumon84 www.lieffcabraser.com/defect/gm-air-conditioning/ try looking at this
Why mine keeps leaking where the high and low hose meets compressor ?
Could be the gasket leaking, the mating surfaces are not true, or the hose ends are bent.
No one never shows how to subtract or add oil in this compressor, I wonder why? They only say they do.
It is the same as any other compressor but here is a video of mine I explain how to do it. czcams.com/video/b5DL5OV6Xl0/video.html go to the 11 minute mark and I explain how to add and subtract the oil in ac compressors.
