The world needs more honest people like you. General Motors needs to learn this lesson.

Homie we need more honest people like you thanks for the info about warranty

Hey what up bro thanks for the video, it helped me change mine ,same story hit 63k and chevy would not fix it since the warranty was extended already, so thats where this video fix helped,, the condencer was 100! The kicker was the refrigerant was R1234Y .... NOTE FOR ANYONE READING! to get chevy to vacuum and recharge this high price refrigerant cost $630! So have the system checked for leaks before 60k! Thanks again you still saved me a bunch!

Way to go man! I just replaced this myself with my brother-in-law. We were past the warranty so this video was very helpful. Thank you for your honesty and humor. 🤙🏼

I just learned that the system has a 1234YF and places like Walmart or Pep Boys do not sell them. 🙁

awesome video hector, very thorough. this is gonna help lots of chevy owners.

Great video ! After watching this video I went out to my truck and sure enough there was the leak in the exact same place as in this video. How crazy is that? Luckily for me I am still in warranty another 4000 miles and I wouldn't be. Thanks a lot bro! 👍

This is exactly what happened to mine. Before bringing it to the dealership I looked and saw exactly where it was leaking from!!! Great play by play video

Good honest guys like you are few in the industry. I’m glad I’m apart of your channel. I have 40k on my 2017 Tahoe warranty here I come. Thanks a lot. (Hector the Homie) for sure brotha.. bless you heart wish there was more mechanics like yourself. 💪🏼👍🏼🙏🏼✌🏼🍻

Good evening, Can you please advise how the warranty cover to repair, my Tahoe has 42k and the dealer told me that it’s not cover by warranty. Thank you

“this chingadera” lmfaooo idk why i started dying 😂😂😂

Thanks for the video! This is the exact issue that my wife's 2015 Tahoe suffers from.

Thank you for posting this. We have a 2017 Chevrolet Tahoe that we bought new and at 36,600 miles the AC quit working. The dealer said SOL. Long story short our condenser had a small pin hole leak up on the driver side. GM put a piece of duct tape looking material about 6"x6" over that exact spot so they knew there was an issue with it.

Log into your onstar app and there should be a special coverage for this for your model. Special Coverage 17336 should cover you till 100,000 km or 60,000 miles. I just had mine go and I emailed my dealer and attached pictures of what I saw along with the letter/notice on onstar.

i just bought a 2016 tahoe 8 months ago it was mint with 58K today it turned 63K no a/c!!! good thing they talked me into the extended warranty!! I almost did not go for it- so glad I did it goes in next week and all I pay is $100 deductible! thank you Hector!! I am sure this is what is going on!!!

Thats what its about homie, always helping people out, i need you to be my mechanic.

Hector you are my newest homie. I successfully changed out my leaky condenser this weekend and she's blowing cold! I decided I'm also going to start calling pretty much everything a chingalera from now on. ;) Much love from Milwaukee, WI!

Hey Hector, great video! I had this issue in my 2016 Tahoe but missed it by 11K miles. This information will help me inform my friends. 👊🏼

The music was actually better in the background. Great info man, just just stopped working this date. Called dealership and will cover if it's actually leaking at the point you described. According to the TSB GM actually puts die into the AC system.

This is exactly what was wrong with my 16 Tahoe. Thanks for the video.

Your video was the first thing that came up when searching what is wrong with my AC. 2016 Tahoe LTZ I bought used and now currently in shop right now and all the work is covered by factory warranty. Thanks Homie from the east coast VA!

I got the Extended Warranty on my 2017 Tahoe!!!! Fixed under warranty!!! Hahahjajajaj!! Good work

Props to you homie honesty goes a long way bro.. Gob bless you brotha

Thank you so much, I didn't know about this warranty!

I just wanted to say that after all this time, your video helped me get mine done yesterday! I had to deal with the replacement being a little bent, so had to flex it to get it to fit and the plastic housings were a pain in the ass (drivers side doesn't fit right over top port) but because of your video I was able to get it done in 3 hours give or take because of the issues I had to fight with. Thank you so much, your video and explaining what size bolts were what helped me not have to guess and just do the work! Great fuckin video man much appreciated!

Great video. Not only instructional but also hilarious. Thanks!

Great video Hector! I have a 2017 GMC Yukon and my front air works fine. The rear does not work and neither does my front seat air. Any suggestions?

Great video... But how do you put those spring locks back on the ac lines? There are 2 springs per line...can't get the driver side one to snap and hold the line

Thank you. Thought you did a great job! Very professional. Great philosophy and business practice too!

A good honest person spittin game!!!!! Props up

Great Video I'll be doing my 2015 escalade my self now

Great video man! Do I have to add anything like oil to the condenser prior to adding refrigerant

What SUVs would you recommend buying used? What are the most reliable 3 row SUVs in your opinion? Thanks so much for the videos!!!

Just did that on my wife's silverado. Cracked in the exact same place. Now gotta do the transmission thermostat delete and fluid change that chevy also knows about but won't tell any one.

Perfect video! Just saved me 600 dollars. Thank you sir

Did you have to add more transmission fluid once you replaced the condenser?

May 19 2021 my buddy just found out today that they extended the warranty on the Escalade to 75,000 miles or 6 years whichever comes first so make sure you're checking. And that Canelo fight was awesome!

Same question I seem on here bro. I been told u have to add oil to the new condenser or can u just add the new refrigerent. Thanks to your vid ill he doing this on my silverado thank u

Hi Hector!!!! I have a question my 2015 had this issued and got it fix but now the front ac is cold but the back is hot any ideas!???? Thanks in advance!!!

My dealership said my warranty would not cover it bcz they said a rock hit condenser and would not cover it. From all the videos I've seen is that condenser leak is in the same spot for my 2018 GMC Yukon. So they wanted to charge me $1900. LOL~

Great video I have 1 too do tomorrow at work but I'm going to take the bumper off like the general wants you too 😉 . I commend you on the hand tools

Good video hector. Keep up the good work and good content

I looked at the parts diagram from GM and it refers to the "Radiator Top Chingadera Cover Assy". I'll be damned.

I think Im having the same problem, My clutch had went out so I had to replace the ac compressor. When i tried to recharge freon the clutch would engage but the cooling fan will not come on and the pressure is showing 80 psi which is keeping it from taking the freon. We pull vaccuum but still cant tell if there is an leak.

Thank you for a great video. Am I able to see this leak easily or do I need to remove parts to get a good look at the area in question? Thanks

2015 Sierra, 95000 miles, transmission died. Mechanic says it's happening to a lot of GM trucks in that generation of 2015-18. I kept it packed with tools and drove it accordingly. Get a Tundra!

thanks so much for this vid bro! just knocked out a '15 denali, first one i've had to do that i didn't send out for warranty coverage & i wasn't tryna deal with all that pull the bumper, lights, upper rad support shit alldata was tryna tell me

I’m hoping your page is still live, and you can try to answer this question for me I have a 2016 Chevy Tahoe LS, RWD I believe my condenser is out as well, although I don’t know which part to buy because one says it comes with a transmission cool other doesn’t will it make a difference in which one I need to purchase? TIA

Lol “little wu tang clip”

Just knocked out this job. Don’t forget new washers for the lines!

Great video! We fixed it but now they are saying something about "door mode" what is that?

Good evening, The video is very helpful. I have a Tahoe 2017 with same problem, on 7/2020 I took it to the dealer and it was cover by the warranty, I contacted the dealer to find out if the warranty will cover to repair it. They told me since the Tahoe has 42,000 miles warranty is only for the first 3 years or 36,000 miles. Also I called GM to check if the warranty will cover and they told no. Please advise how can I proceed to get it fix with the warranty. Thank you

@@HomieHektor I'm going to have a shop diagnose it. After watching the video I thought I'd go ahead and hook up my a/c gauges just to see how much refrigerant was left in the system. When I hooked up the gauges it read high on the low side and low on the high side which from what I understand points to the compressor. (Low and High read the same at 100) Wouldn't the a/c gauges read different if the system had a refrigerant leak?

@HomieHektor

4 жыл бұрын

Ray Perrenoud if the system was low on refrigerant you would have low readings on both gauges. Both gauges not moving at 100 psi means no refrigerant flow, possible compressor, compressor clutch, or an electrical issue (no power or ground at the compressor)

Hector I have a 2014 yukon that the ac compressor won't engage. I was checking for power at the relay with a test light and I touched one of the pins on the relays and the compressor engaged. I switched relays with another but it didnt work. As long as I had that one pin grounded it would work. Do you know where I need to look. thank you sir.

Hector nice content. I have a 2015 Silverado LTZ. My Compressor locked so I replaced the compressor, condenser, and Expansion valve. I’m not sure what else to look at my compressor clutch engages added freon but it blows out hot on cold start and ac will only kick in when I’m driving?
