How to Replace 2004 Silverado AC Condenser - Sierra 4.8L 5.3L Tahoe Yukon Savana Avalanche Suburban

In this video we show you how to replace the AC Condenser on your Silverado 1500. The AC condenser is known to fail on many GM and Chevrolet vehicles and cause loss of cold air from the Air Conditioning System. Replacement is simple and can be done at home once the refrigerant is removed from the system. This installation video applies to all LS based 4.8L and 5.3L V8 engines found in the Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Yukon, Savana, Avalanche, Suburban, Escalade, and Trailblazer!

Can we get the accumulator video?

[@richard1835]

Very good job and an excellent presentation.

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Thank you!

[@justinesportsmedicine9379]

Nice tge radiator was key and shortens work time by hours working on the lower cooler line nuts and the top bracket bolts. Thanks

[@williamhanna5224]

Awesome video Great work !

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Thanks a lot!

[@CaptK-py8rq]

Thank you, new subscriber!

What was the reason behind loosening the radiator? After I watched the video to get an idea of what I had to do, I ended up just removing the grille and the headlights and did the same trick as you, where you loosened the center brace and slid the condenser out. That worked great, but I didn’t need to touch the radiator at all on my gmc Sierra

[@OwenXW]

Oh I see, it was to get the ratchet behind there for those two top bolts on the brace! I have my ratcheting wrenches that I used to get those and they work a treat, definitely worth picking up a cheap $20 set of them from harbor freight to make this job much easier!

[@carlosgutierrez2383]

In my case replacing both compressor and condenser, What if the compressor is already filled with oil out the gate? Do i still have to prep the condenser with more oil?

[@rayjimenez7791]

Do you have to change the ac compressor when changing the Ac condenser ?

[@TheSundaeDrive]

No. Only if it broken.

[@antoniop5889]

What were the symptoms. My ac is not blowing cold air I done changed just about everything on the truck new ac compressor accumulator orifice tube cleaned out the filter and fan. Replace 2 blend door actuators the ac kicks on as it should and the accumulator is nice and cold please help! Only thing I haven’t changed is the condenser

[@daylanveasley7411]

Check the evaporator

[@NotImportant101]

Have you tried replacing the a/c pressure switch?
