Have a 2015 Silverado with 39,000 miles on it, the AC is not working. Turn it on and it blows warm air, compressor is not running.

Any TSB about this or any thoughts?

Thanks in advanced.

Your condenser and/or your compressor discharge line are cracked. Congrats. No TSB that I’m aware of. GM has left us for dead on this one.

Go and take a screwdriver or something and depress the needle in the fill to see if there is any Freon in it, I just had to replace the condenser in mine

I thought they had extended the warranty to 60,000 miles on the 15,16, and 17 year models.

Only the Suvs, which makes no sense because they are they same part numbers for the pickups.

Condensor or ac line. VERY common on early ones. Mine went during the Florida summer in 97 degree heatwave. They were overwhelmed with backorders and had no part. It did take a charge and wasa slow leak, so we maintained the freon till the part became available. You will be able to get the part now.

certain vin numbers have a special policy to extend the warranty to 5/60 vs the original 3/36

like the others said, probably the condenser. I replaced my condenser this past Saturday.

I had to replace my condenser on my 2015 GMC sierra yesterday.

 

luckly I have extended warranty on my truck but I had to pay $100 deductible.  Which I think with only 40,000 miles should of been covered completely by GM.

 

I wasnt too happy about that and was hoping that my dealer would of just taken care of the $100 bucks but they didnt want to offer that.    $100 bucks for a dealer would be pennies to keep the customer happy.   So I might be going to another dealer on my next truck purchase.

I was under the same impression. I was told that the 2015 Silverado would be the last truck with the 60k miles or 5 year warranty because they were changing it to 36k miles or 3 years for the 2016 and up model. I need to double check my paperwork but I swear that's what I was told when I bought my 2015 back in October.

I took my truck to the dealer one time and mentioned to them that my AC had stopped blowing cold air. The one guy I talked to said it was probably the compressor and that the part wasn't covered under warranty and I would have to pay out of pocket to have it fixed. Needless to say, I told the guy never mind and left it as is since the weather at the time wasn't too bad. Well now, we're starting to get into the scorching hot temps of summer here in TX and phuk that shit!! I need some AC!! So I called the dealer again today and was told by another service guy that my truck was still under the bumper to bumper warranty and the repair would be covered. Hearing this great news I proceeded to make an appointment for this Thursday, first thing in the morning to drop it off. 

 

So I'm guessing that depending on who you talk to at the dealership, and the mileage on your truck, they will in fact cover the cost and repair under warranty. Granted, I don't think I should have had to speak or call multiple times for the same issue but in the end, GM is fixing it and covering the cost so I'm good with that. 

 

Here's a pic of where my condenser leaked from. It was more noticeable yesterday before it rained over here. You can still see on the side where it kind of looks "wet".

I’m pretty sure this was a very common issue.

I had mine replaced and leaked in same place on my 2014. I think I was at 30k on my truck when that happen.

They admitted it was a huge issue and happening to many truck owners; yet no recall.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
