Replaced my condenser today. Simple repair: 1. Ensured all R1234yf has leaked out. New gauges purchased as the high and low pressure ports are different than 134a. 2. Shut off engine/remove negative battery cable. 3. Use 5/16” nut driver to loosen intake plenum and air cleaner. 4. Pull red clip up and depress black clip at airflow sensor connector. Remove zip tie clip from hole in air box, place MAF connector out of the way. 5. Depress 2 pcv retainers and remove crankcase piping from plenum. 6. Gently work the plenum to throttle body intake hose loose. Same thing with the hose at the air box. 7. Remove upper and lower air box/filter. 8. Remove 2 bolts holding radiator in place against the core support. 9. Remove the upper air dam (sits on top of condenser/ radiator). Has 4 clips across the top and 2 on each end. 10. Push radiator toward engine. Remove the caps and clips holding the integrated transmission cooler lines in place. 11. Remove bracket bolt on passenger end of condenser hose. Also remove the hose retaining nut releasing both a/c lines. 12. Release the plastic clips holding the condenser to the radiator. 13. Get another person to hold the radiator toward while you pull the old condenser out. 14. Transfer all air dam pieces to new condenser. 15. Add 2 oz pag oil designed for r1234yf to the condenser INSTALL IN REVERSE ORDER.

I am replacing the condenser on a 2016 GMC Sierra 1500. We plan on vacuuming out the system to remove any Freon leftover and start from zero. How many pounds of Freon do we add back to get back to normal? Or does anyone know where I can find Freon specs for this model?

Hello All, 2014 Silvy and no AC, I have read all this forum seems to offer. My system is so low I couldn't just get dye in to confirm the leak, compressor wouldnt kick on. Im going to pull a vacuum to confirm the leak, then charge it that way since the vacuum should get me a jump start on getting the system to take refrigerant. Then find the dye with a light, I suspect condenser, but want to confirm before buying the part. Question for those of you who have done this. Did you add oil on this initial charge to get dye in, to protect the compressor? Or did you only add oil in after the fix on the final charge? If so, how much did you add each time. I've read 2 oz for a compressor replacement, but not how much for a condenser. Thanks, Josh

Just thought I'd share this letter I recieved from GM Canada today. I don't have this issue but I hope it could help others that paid for a repair in recouping your hard earned cash on an obvious manufacturer defect.
