Aloha! I bumped into your channel because I currently have a 2018 Silverado 1500 that I may need to replace my AC valves/hoses but I'm a bit lost because looking at the diagrams & parts I can't make up if the assembly is just all one piece where it looks like it has the high & low pressure hoses combined & then there's some that the hoses appear as individual piece so I was wondering if you had any knowledge on what hoses I would need to replace if I was needing to replace ALL of the AC system related ones?
The main reason is I appear to have a small leak somewhere in my AC system but doesn't look to be from the condenser so to be safe I want to replace all the hoses, seals, etc. pull a vacuum to get all the current freon/oil out and then refill it with the appropriate amount but I'm stuck on what hoses/assembly parts I'll need to do this so any tips or info would be greatly appreciated!

Aloha Erik! So your best bet is to go into a Napa Autoparts store or the dealership to ask for the part numbers you need for both high and low hoses. I’ve done this many time time so there’s no confusion as to what parts I need. You can also put dye in the system to pin point the leak before spending money on parts you didn’t need to buy… Keep me posted on what route you decided to take! 🤙🏼

@@hawaiianbrokechanic Not sure why I didn't think of that haha but that's actually a pretty good idea just so that I get the exact parts I'll need IF I do need to replace the assembly & I think doing a dye test should be simple enough so I'll give that a crack too. Appreciate the advice friend!!

@@erikvasquez9997 I was just like you when i was trying to find where my leak was… in the end I ended up replacing almost the entire AC system except the blower and high side hose 🤣

So why didn’t you just replace the valve that was leaking. If the rest of the hose is fine. Why spend all that time and extra money for a 5cent shrader valve

[@hawaiianbrokechanic]

@@adamrea5305 the schrader valve was already replaced and it still leaked… So I decided to go thru all the trouble and do it the right way and not the cheap ass way🤣

I'm having the same problem with my ac. I have a 2014 silverado 6.2l high country and I already have replaced the condenser. Ac worked great up until yesterday and now the compressor constantly runs and engages but no cold air. I bought some ac pro and tried to charge it but nothing worked. Thanks for the video.

​@nickrobinson7460 did you find the problem for your issue? I feel like I have a clog but I'm not sure. My compressor and fans ramp up the second you press the ac button.

[@hawaiianbrokechanic]

@@PapaDoc702 it turned out to be a whole host of issues. Bad AC compressor, low side ac hose and a leaking AC Condenser. After replacing the aforementioned, AC works like a champ🤣
