2014-2017 Chevrolet (Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe) GMC Sierra, or Cadillac Escalade
6513078
Are you or your customer repairing a 2014-2017 Chevrolet Silverado, Chevrolet Suburban, Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Sierra or Cadillac Escalade? If so, are you aware that there is a major issue with the condenser leaking on this vehicle?
This leak has a major impact on the A/C system as a whole. These vehicles come equipped with a variable control valve compressor (gpd replacement #6513078).
If the system is low on refrigerant, the compressor will not pump at full stroke, which leaves the technician to believe that the compressor may be faulty. However, the real issue could be a leaking condenser.
When looking at the grill, you will notice that the condenser leaks on the driver’s side at the top right drier fitting between the driers and the condenser. Before doing a compressor job twice or before someone returns under warranty, make sure you double check the condenser first, it may save you a lot of time. gpd’s condenser replacement for these vehicles is gpd #4283C.
