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.

      AFM Experience

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.

      Upgrade to a 2026 AT4 with the 3.0L Duramax

      By Blade8971 · Posted

      Thank You.   So far my new ride is making me look like a genius for going with the 3.0L, as my first fuel refill occurred over three weeks from when I took delivery.  This engine combination is very amazing.  So far no issues and had not done a regen yet.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am curious as to how much fluid you put back in the transmission ( assuming you had replaced the filter to compare to my findings ) and then went through the process of warming up the trans before pulling the check plug to drain out the excess and if you measured how much came back out.    I just found it surprising that some claimed a certain amount less fluid being put in and then draining some back out. The attitude of the truck as per if the surface is level and how the trucks stance is would make quite a difference since the check plug is right at the front of the transmission.
