Question
ga1990
So the compressor on my 2003 Suburan LT started making the appearantly common vibrating type noise, so I replaced it this weekend. I replaced the compressor, accumulator and orifice tube. At 1500 rpms my low side pressure is around 42 and my high side is around 250. Everything seems to be functioning fine, however my rear air blows at 57 degrees, and my front is only blowing around 67 degrees. It was around 95 degrees outside when I took these readings. It may or may not have had this issue before I completed the work, I never checked it. The one concern I have is that it only took 2 cans of freon (24oz.) to reach these pressures. Per my manual it should have take 4 cans or 48 oz. When I started to put the third can in my pressures went way high and I had to remove some.
I balanced the oil in the compressor, adding the same amount to the new (after draining) that came out of the old one, and then I added 2oz of oil to the accumulator, which seemed to be the right amount per the manual.
What could be causing the difference in temps? Is it normal for the system to take only two cans of freon? Thanks for the help.
