Re: 2012 GMC Yukon AC + chiller mess

awesome info guys, appreciate it. I will look into what i can do the re-work some of the equipment. short term: i should be able to relocate the RD to after the condenser, before splitting to feed both circuits.

Re: 2012 GMC Yukon AC + chiller mess

thanks for the clarification bohica2xo, the rear ac system is completely gone. temp of the chiller coolant i would like sub freezing honestly but anything below 50* will yield me nice intake temps detroitAC, I am nearly certain the accumulator is piped correctly. i am going to replace the condenser ...
