Thought I`d post an update to my dilemma. I replaced the evaporator temp sensor and it didn`t fix my intermittent issue. (For those of you wondering where that sensor is, pull the lower glove box and you`ll see a vertical bar code sticker on the front of the heater box. Right next to that sticker you`ll see 2 wires going into a sensor. That`s it right there. You DO NOT have to pull the dash.) I decided to throw in the towel and took my truck to the dealership. I gave the service writer super detailed notes of what`s been replaced and what I`m experiencing. He called a few hours later and said the tech found several codes relating to the ac compressor not receiving signal/kicking on. I was told it`s a broken electrical connection somewhere the tech would have to chase down. Book listed 3 hours for the job. I got another call a few hours later saying the truck was done. Turned out to be a broken wire/bad connection at a pressure valve. (Didn`t say if it was on the low or high pressure side) My truck also needed that brake vacuum pump/belt recall done also. (I never noticed any issues pertaining to that) In case you`re wondering, that was a $540 dealer visit. If you`re having intermittent issues, check your pressure valve(s).

2014 Silverado 4.3 V6 WT I`ve been having intermittent AC issues. (haven`t we all. LOL!!) And it`s the middle of July in Texas!!!!! ? My AC will blow cold then transition to cool/warm. It`ll stay cool/warm for a while then maybe go back cold again. When the compressor clicks on, I can feel cold air in the cab. I took it to a shop (not dealer) and they didn`t detect any leaks. System is holding a charge and the low pressure line will get cold. I was told it`s either an expansion valve or the evaporator temp sensor. Expansion valve replacement was the cheaper of the 2. I had the valve replaced (I don`t have A/C recovery equipment) and the issue still persists. Evaporator temp sensor sends a signal to the compressor to kick on. It`s there to make sure if the evaporator turns into a block of ice it wont destroy the compressor. The shop said evap. temp. sensor replacement was 9 hours on the books at $100 hr. labor due to having to remove the whole dash. I don`t wanna get raped $1K for a $15 part. I`ve already pulled the upper and lower glove box assy. off hoping to get a looksie inside and see if I can see where this temp sensor is. No luck. I have NO ISSUE cutting a hole into some plastic to get that sensor out instead of having to pull the whole dash. Do I have to pull the center console/radio out to get to it? Do I remove the pass. air bag? I can`t find ANYTHING online that shows where this thing is. The gmpartsdirect diagram is pretty vague. I know what the part looks like. I just need to find where it is.

I may be new to the site but add me to the growing list of PGamboa supporters! Luckily we live in the same city. I drove my truck up to his place yesterday (Saturday) and we got my DL8 to DL3 conversion done in about an hour. Well, actually, he did most of the work and I tried my best not to be a pain in his ass. LOL!!!! My main reason for the conversion was to have the power folding capability so I can more easily pull into my garage. (damn center pillar!) The working turn signals and puddle lamps were just icing on the cake! As we were doing the install of the new harnesses, he was pointing out some of the little "tricks and tips" he`s learned from doing these conversions. So, whatever advice he gives, listen to it! Once again, solid dude, buy with confidence and 2 thumbs up from this member!
