Scott, Welcome to GM-Trucks !

 Lets look at one big thing.Quote > " Freon is fine took it to a shop and pulled system down and a vacuum and recharged system wandering what the problem could be ." < End Quote

 A  shop can evacuate the system ( Suck it down) Test the vacuum to see if it holds. The Compressor MUST be working  Though to Re Charge the system.. If the compressor is NOT turning, the system is NOT drawing a vacuum at the low side for the entry of new freon ( 134) and New freon will NOT go in , in gas or liquid form.

 Check the AC ONLY serpentine Drive belt and the IDLER pulley on that same  belt. It is known to go. Idler is way down "under"

 get your hand on that compressor when truck is OFF and see if you can spin it, and check  the drive belt and Idler.

 Good luck

   1) Stop guessing. Don't throw any more parts or money at it. 

 

   For example: You could have a bad pump clutch gap. That is easy and free to fix in about 10 minutes. NEVER guess. Never throw parts at something as a process of elimination.

if you pull the system down to total vacuum you can liquid charge the system without the compressor running i do this all the time it is much faster

 Upside down can and gravity, ok I would buy that!

    • You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built. 
    • Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
    • Thanks for posting, I'm sure it will help someone
    • New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended? 
    • So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.
