Re: Need AC advice for 2000 Silverado

Where do you park this? It's been 110F or more in the shade for over 10 days, so hot like 130F in a closed garage and hotter than 110F under a carport. That's awfully hot. Unfortunately.....straight outside under the godforsaken blazing sun. The truck is both too tall and too long to get in a garag...

Re: Need AC advice for 2000 Silverado

I changed some parts about three years ago but the compressor is the same from factory new. So maybe. I drove it a little today (only about 5 miles) and it is still holding the charge, it is blowing cool but not perfect but I know the wrong charge is in there at this point. I'll let it sit over the ...

Re: Need AC advice for 2000 Silverado

No the dye was just strait dye I added to the filler line on the gauge set, then chased it with just the cheapest 134a since I was more interested in finding a leak. Only thing I can think is that it is a extremely small leak and has been leaking down over time or the leak is in the evaporative cool...

Re: Need AC advice for 2000 Silverado

Thanks guys for the quick responses. I have tomorrow off so I'll get it recovered and get the leak found. I found a hose that it may be it but I'll have it dyed to find out for sure. I can do a lot of repairs but figuring out the ac is always foreign to me when trying to trouble shoot off the gauges...

Need AC advice for 2000 Silverado

2000 Silverado 5.3 It has been hot out here in AZ. I let the truck sit for about two weeks. Last time it ran the AC worked fine. Started the truck and the compressor would just turn itself on and off every few seconds. Thought I may be low on freon but I just changed the lines, accumulator, expansio...
