Ac started to blow warm air. Took to shop had it recharged and still blowing warm. Tech said he thinks it’s the compressor and i should take it to the dealer.  Any suggestions?

1. go to a different shop.  they should be able to tell if the compressor is working properly or not.

2. there should be 1 or 2 temp. doors that control the temp each side of the cab gets.  See if all the vents get warm air or if it's just on one side, and if the temp will vary with the controls (with the engine hot).

3. find someone with a more advanced code reader, that can read codes from all the computers on your truck.

This model truck has two major flaws in the cooling system. One being the condenser and the other is the high pressure lines cracking in the bends. I got lucky *knocks on wood* and had the hoses replaced along with a bracket under warranty when mine started blowing hot in July. If your is the condenser, well, get in line. This part was still on a national back order as of a month and a half ago. Fixed on your dime too if your warranty is out......Thanks GM.

Is it seriously still on backorder? I thought they got all of that situated back in October. I know it was a 30 day wait list back in the middle of the summer so I would imagine it's better now considering most people aren't using their AC.

That info came from someone I do business with that said he was waiting on the back ordered part. I assumed he was being honest and never followed up.

good to know that Gm has finally caught up on production of these as summer is right around the corner.
If your truck has around 40k miles on it, it might benefit you to just order one and sit on it. [emoji3]

Mine went out earlier this year and I had about 65k on my truck at the time. I had the dealer fix it and they covered like 75% of the cost. I paid about $500 out of pocket. The condenser itself from GM was like $320 I believe and then plus the seals was like another $100 bucks or so.

 

I attempted to get the condenser from O'reilly's however they also did not have any and were on back order... crappy situation but it cost me an extra like 100 - 200 bucks to have GM do it as me doing it myself.

 

un-luckily for me I took out my cracked condenser and took it to orielly to get a new one before I knew about all this non-sense. So I had to put in the old condenser back in. So I did all the work for no damn reason...

Why did they not cover it under warranty?

Because I was almost 30k miles out of bumper to bumper warranty. They covered a decent portion which was better than nothing. Should they have paid for the whole thing, sure. But they definitely did not have to pay a cent either so I'll take it.

I gotchya. I just dropped the truck off at the dealership for this issue today. We'll see what they come back with.

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.

      I always drive in Sport mode. With more driving, I am finding the initial response when accelerating is much quicker now🖕 Lou

      Is it an optical illusion in the pic or is the truck really squatting that much horribly?
