Has anyone bought & installed the bracket gm23264893 before the lines Crack & the freon leaks out? If so does it come with instructions as where exactly to install it? I'm thinking just go ahead & fix it before a problem happens. Thanks in advance!

For those of you who added the bracket, can you talk us through whereabouts the brackets should be located. I tried finding it based off the sandyblog attachment, found the condenser (on the viewers

Thanks for the info guys. $10 preventative maintenance is ok with me. Shame it wasn't designed prior to but at least they acknowledged the problem and designed a fix.

Excellent info, I'm going to go zip tie mine together with about 50 zip ties and order bracket.

@TDT take some pics while you are at it.

After the Weather finally let up, I went out to investigate my AC lines and found out that mine have been updated to a new style that doesn't require the bracket. I don't have the muffler on the line and I don't have the hook in the line where they are cracking at.

I had my bracket replaced about 2 months after the first time they replaced the faulty line. So far it has been working all summer. Although it's no longer blowing anywhere near as cold as it did from day one.

Where would I look to see if I have this bracket? I cant seem to pinpoint it

 

Just follow the condenser line down to the A/C compressor.

I did not see a bracket, but my line doesn't have any muffler.

My Silverado is a June 2015 build. May install one anyway.

When was your Silverado built?

So which line do you have installed now? The one with a muffler or the one without?

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

Thank you for the information I'm heading to the dealer to get the stuff & fix it before it breaks!

      I am sure that was quite the pass experience and not a great place to experience during the winter when the conditions are not good. I've seen video of that pass and also more detailed information and pictures about the wrecks at that one hair pin turn where tractor trailers have flown right off the cliff and I am sure from all the warning signs that you know the exact curve that was !. After all there is a reason why a song was made about Wolf Creek Pass !. By the way and I didn't realize this either when I bought my truck as its nothing I even thought of that would be programmed into the cruise control and this occurs in either the basic or the more advanced cruise that controls your distance behind a vehicle and that is the brakes going down a hill are being applied as soon as the vehicle goes a certain speed over the set cruise speed. While it certainly does force downshifts in the transmission as you found out with cruise on while going down hill, its also dragging the brakes as needed to keep the speed controlled to what the cruise was set to. For me, I find that unsettling simply because I have no concept then as to how MUCH brake input is being used a and just how hot are those brakes getting and the wear factor as well. I can see that system getting a person into trouble on long mountain grades while pulling a trailer as it would not only be standing on the brakes of the pickup without any driver input, it would also be automatically applying the trailer brakes and it could cause a run away unit by overheating the brakes. Its one thing on a shorter hill and if the driver allows it to do its thing but on a long mountain grade is where things could get so out of hand. As someone a while back on this forum said, they had someone following them at night I believe on a down grade and had the cruise set and the person behind them could see the brake lights being energized all the way down the hill. I figured when I saw your comment that you didn't know and would have no way of knowing that your truck was applying the brakes and that you would and rightfully so assume you only used the brakes when you pressed on the pedal to slow down more than the cruise set speed for the slower sharp curves. So its good knowledge to know this about the newer GM trucks, certainly when doing any descending on long mountain grades. In the future try kicking off the cruise and use the the manual mode on a pass to see what that is like as I know myself when I first experienced it I thought no way can this engine be holding me back this well and tried the same hill in manual mode and sure enough the engine was revving way up and still could not hold the trucks speed down like it could in cruise mode.    Fuel mileage, that is where a really low sleek type of car can do better at higher speeds, certainly it starts sucking fuel too but a tall pickup is pushing massive amounts of air and also allowing a lot more air under it and the tow mirrors as in elephant ears pushing through the wind  as well. Driving like grandpa is about as good as one can do when driving one of these if trying to get the best fuel economy they can. I bet these trucks would get the best mileage they can if driven on a freeway in Florida if not busy traffic at a sedate speed and that sea level elevation without hills, vastly different then Colorado !.
