Very good video. Having spent rhe first 40 years if my life in Indiana; been in SC the past 25 years; I don't miss all that rust on your undercarriage.
Good instructions!!

[@Bonafide_Breed]

The issue that I’m having right now is that I don’t have coke ac, heat works fine and fans do work but for some reason even after a recharge I don’t get cold

[@crusader8255]

Why not take the passenger wheel off? It’s MUCH easier that way

[@patlogan2051]

Chevrolet aught to have there butts kicked for mounting the a/c under the truck. Worst design ever.

[@patrickking1732]

Can i put the compressor high pressure sensor in with it on the truck i already put it on and forgot to put the high pressure switch on

[@reneruiz1004]

Do you have to turn the new compressor 10-15 times with a spanner wrench?

[@trickey57]

if you remove the pressure switch like that one with charged system will the freon leak out

[@Rickey703]

Very nice vid!

[@user-oo7dw1nh7d]

Great video! What is the part number for that pressure switch you had to replace because you couldn't get the old one out? Thanks!

[@jw11432]

***For Delphi style compressor, not Denso style.

[@derrickvincent7336]

Just recharge the air after that

[@pedroclemente7467]

Is there a need to remove the fan? I’m not sure.

[@Eaglemadhatter]

My pull busted off and the belt is still OK. I made it a quarter of a mile and stopped to see what was happening. Towed home. Hope that's all in the morning

[@josephperkins3379]

Is this the same for a 99 suburban with a 5.7 ltr?

[@anubisplayer2]

How much oil does it need.

[@559043]

can you come over and do mine
