My new Tahoe doesn't really gert that cold in the front.  The rear feels like it is really cold.  How does the system work?  Is it dual Zones with different systems?  Or does it all run off of the same compressor  And Coolant system.  The front really does nothing.  Granted it isn't really warm here yet but I wanted to test it out.  The Compressor still kicks in so do All I need is a recharge?  I would like to hear what you have to say.  Also can you explain the system operation?  Thanks a bunch.

 

Later,

If you have front and rear air, then there are probably seperate controls for the rear.  There is only one compressor, but there is a seperate condensor or evaporator in the rear behind the wheel well on the passanger side.

 

I don't understand why the rear would blow cold and the front not work correctly, unless the temp blend control isn't working right for the front.  the only other thing, is that if the truck is sitting in the sun, and the dash gets warm, it takes awhile to get all the duct work cooled down.

That's ok, the AC in my 97 doesn't work very good either.  On full blast it feels like a little trickle of air coming out and it's not very cold.  I might as well leave the windows down!

 

The heater on the other hand.....get's extremely hot and I can leave it on the first setting to get enough air.

 

Go figure.

I have a similar problem on my wife's 02 tahoe. The front blows semi-cool while the back is cold as ice. I've checked all the little actuators that control the blend doors (for heat and a/c) and they're all working. The system reads to have enough freon in it. I'm open to just about any suggestions. The next things I can think of is to change the controls on the dash or dimantle the dash to get to the evaporator. Anyone out there have any suggestions???? :)

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.
