Mine has done this 3 separate times. I turn the AC off/on, switch vents from floor to windshield, eventually it starts to blow cool air again

Got truck back. Cold air again. Leaking hose from compresor to condensor. Changed hose and added a bracket. Said it was a design flaw. Why not do a recall or something?

I had the same problem, took it to the dealer and they said the same thing. Cracked hose and no freon... Parts ordered and repaired.. Worked one day and then back to not blowing cold air.. Took it to

I had the same issue this week as the rest of you on my '14 Sierra. Leaking hose that had to be replaced and Freon added. Frustrating!

Guess I can add a new one. Yesterday something let go in the ducting, I think. Fan still goes to high, but only a little comes out of the vents making the cab not cool.

My a/c works normally most of the time but I have noticed if i go WOT for a short period of time the temp of the air out of the vents rises during that time then goes back to ice cold. Normal?

Completely normal.. The factory ECU calibration commands the AC-OFF at 100% throttle. This can be tuned out but not only does it free up power, which I'm assuming you want at WOT, but it also keeps you from spinning your compressor at 6k RPM's which can shorten it's life.

Not sure if the AC is lacking freon, but it seems the passenger air vents blow HOT air and the driver side

cool air.. cycle the different options to see if this will redirect or shut off the hot air coming out of pass

side, but no changes.. I think this happened a month ago and cleared itself up, but now, even with turning

the passenger side thermostat to 65, it blow hot air ???

is there a service bulletin out on this problem?

I have 19,000 on my 2014 GMC Sierra and the ac just quit yesterday. We had a three day trip to Hershey PA and it worked fine. I took it on the beach today on Long Island and we were bouncing around like crazy in the sand. I do remember hearing a thud like I ran something over. I only noticed I didn't have ac later in the day when I went to top off my gas tank. I'm guessing I ran into the same problem as most here......cracked tube leaking freon and defective bracket design. That's probably the thud I heard. I am taking it to the dealership in two days. I will update.

I'd have to agree with you...

Can someone who has had this fixed by the dealer please post pictures of the bracket & where it's located?

The fix has been out for over a year so your dealer should be familiar with it.

I finally have a chance to post.

 

My dealer took my 2014 GMC Sierra in without an appointment, gave me a Cadilac STS loaner (blah), and fixed the a/c, recharge, and new bracket. I came prepared with a print out of the known issue and the bracket that needed to be installed. So they gave me no bull shit. While it was there they did my inspection for no charge.

 

The repair bulletin PIT5331//OP.CODE 4415010

Part numbers Description

23438932 Hose 9.225

23264893 Bracket 9.242

12356150X 12356150 1LB134

 

The jury is still out on whether it blows as cold as before. I say no, my wife says yes.

Sounds to me like deliberation has concluded and jury is out.

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      I have a basic 2026 1500 WT  (2.7L/4WD reg cab shorttbed). Comfy, generally happy with electronics/radio - but is there a way I can add switches to steering wheel right-side position (curr. empty) so I can adjust volume, push phone button to voice dial, etc? Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
