Least it wasn't a fucking red shell

Thank you to Motronic for all the advice in the thread - I finally got the AC in the Suburban working. Replaced the compressor, receiver/dryer and orifice tube, vacced out the system, and charged it up (all 4 pounds). Blowing a very chilly 40 degrees from the front vents - GM may have cheaped out on lots of things with that truck, but the A/C is not one of them. And I have a set of gauges & vaccum pump now in case any of the other vehicles develop issues over the summer - thanks again!

Yeah, GM makes some damned cold A/C, especially in the trucks. It's a simple design that hasn't changed significantly since R-134 came out.

My CobaltG5IonHHR would like to argue with you about this, though I'm sure the black dash and interior don't help. It's mediocre at best during the hottest months, except at highway speeds.

It's an Opel. Doesn't count as a real GM design cause of not being Murican.

The 2016 A/C Thread: Have you tried replacing your blend door?

If you have a GM vehicle produced in the past 10 years or so, it should be the first troubleshooting step.
