  1. Yeah mine stated the loud noise after I replaced the condenser. I kept losing freeon when I found the crack
  2. Understood, but you think it would still be over filled if we took a bunch out? The system right now shows low pressure. As soon as you start adding refrigerant, the engine gets louder and the gauge jumps to max pressure and the clutch disengages. When I took it to the shop after replacing the condenser, the guy said he evacuated the system, checked for leaks, and then filled with the proper amount. That's when he noticed the clutch wasn't engaging
  3. From my research and contacting local auto parts stores, the 2014 Silverado doesn't have an orifice tube but an expansion valve? Same thing?
  4. Ok long story but here goes... Noticed ac was getting warm. Hooked up handheld gauge and pressure was low. Compressor was working fine. Filled with R134a up to proper pressure. Ac works fine. 2 days later, same issue. Took it to a shop and found out there was a crack in the condenser. Quoted me $800 to fix it. Said forget it and ordered the part myself. Installed at home. When done, took it to the ac guy and had him evacuate and fill the system. Called me an hour later and said your compressor clutch is not engaging. Weird because that was never an issue before. Took the car home and here's where things get weird. Got home and opened the hood. Noticed that the radiator fans were running loud as hell and the clutch was not engaging. Hooked up the gauge and pressure was reading through the roof on the low side port. Had a buddy come over and take some refrigerant out and the compressor clutch immediately kicked on working fine. Radiator fans immediately slowed down and car was no longer as loud. Still no cold air. Hooked my gauge up to the low port again. Pressure read low. Turned the car off, about 10 minutes later turned back on and car was running loud as hell again and pressure was through the roof. Removed some more refrigerant and car quieted down, no cold air and clutch engaging. Fast forward to this morning. Thought maybe the guy overfilled it. Started the car and pressure was low. Went over to auto store and connected the R134a can to it. Started filling it. Pressure would climb when adding the refrigerant but then fall again. After about 5 seconds adding it, engine got really loud again, clutch disengaged and pressure reads extremely high. Any ideas? Still no cold air
  5. Can someone, preferably a 2014 Silverado, post the front and back measurements from the center of the center cap to the bottom of the fender? Someone with the leveling kit and body lift
  6. I just did mine after tinting the taillights. You need four bulbs for taillights and bake lights / blinkers. And two bulbs for the reverse lights. Lights are significantly brighter! I would take a photo for you but my wife isn't home so I can't show you the reverse or brake lights. I bought mine off Amazon. Got the highest rated bulbs and they work flawlessly. You are gonna need four in line resistors though. One goes on each brake light, two on each side. Stops the hyperflash. Got those on Amazon also got like $7
