Followed ur instructions to a T. Cooling perfectly. Thank you. Saved $140 just for a Diagnostics check. Whatever charges came afterwards. Spent $100 for a bottle and gauge. Ty
Just did this on my 2018 high country. Only difference was the bottle type. They had a bottle and hose combo for $150. Much cheaper than the $500 I was quoted to have it repaired. Thanks a lot man. Very helpful video that saved me money! Easy subscribe
Thanks. Don’t know if I would have found that low pressure port without you. They put that high pressure one front and center up by the battery but the one you actually need buried in the engine. Nice having cold A/C in July again.
Is this the type of refrigerant I need ? I have a 2017 Silverado, R-1234yf ? My AC is out of Freon I bought one kit , it didn’t fit the port. I took it back to auto zone, I’m headed to Walmart. Help me please 😂
Thanks for this video!! I have the same truck and mine just went out. Very helpful and your video was the first to pop up. Thanks for being straight forward and to the point. LFG!
Thanks for the post champ. I would recommend that you periodically check the gauge by opening and closing valve to get proper reading to ensure you don’t over fill. Being that you had the smaller can you probably didn’t have any issues though?
While it was informative, there’s a little missing information here. Not everyone attempting will need a full can. Over charging is easily done and just as bad as no refrigerant and will result in warm air. You may of noticed when he opened the valve the needle was burried in the red. I recommend adding it slowly and shutting the valve periodically to get an accurate level reading instead of opening and let sit.
Yeah, it was a power steering assist failure. I had to replace my power steering pump. which was FUN to btw. but if you're seeing on yours it could be a simply connections to the power steering system. Things shake loose from time to time, you can just make sure everything is connected before diving into it to deep.
Thanks for confirming the low port. Why put it in a nice convenient spot like the high pressure one? Is your condenser cracked? Mine is and that's why I'm recharging. Apparently a class action law suit against GM for the issue. If you haven't checked, take a look up at the pinch welds on the condenser - should be able to see through the grill. You can see a spot on mine where there's discoloration from oil leaking. I'm recharging to bandaid this before digging in to the condenser. Thanks for the vid!
You don’t need too, you’ll not able to charge from that one anyways. They made the adapter to only fit the correct one so people wouldn’t have this issue.
I just replaced the condenser so the system is completely dry, do I need to vacuum the system and such? I know you didn't use one, but in other videos it shows them pulling the pressure out of it with the gauges and such. TRUST me I would rather do it this way, I just don't want to mess anything up! Please anyone let me know is I can simply do it this way or do I need to buy the compressor with the hoses and gauges. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE! Have a wonderful day!
Yes, you absolutely want to vacuum the system. 2-3 hours should be fine but I know people that run it over night just to be sure. You just don’t want any moisture or contamination in there. It’s really easy to miss this, 10 months later end up with a crack over corrosion that you left in there.
Not really, make sure you have the right kind. The other type will not fit on that lower port. If it’s giving you a hard time make sure it’s the 1234yf with the right adapter.
My 2017 Silverado feels like an oven right now I’m in the Central Valley in California having 107 degree weather with no ac and I keeps getting quotes of $500-$700 to get it fixed. I’m gonna have to get my husband to do this himself because I need cold air!

Thank you sir for the video instruction. Hose and R-1234yf cost me $72.06 tax included
That’s awesome! Always happy to help..
Where did you purchase?

@BreezybriefswithBrooke yes, the one you bought is for older vehicles. You need the 1234YF
Thank you young man. Yours was the only information I could find--and you were/are a major help. Cheers, gk
You're welcome
Just did this myself. No mechanic experince at all. The way you tell is recharging is that the can gets cold. Easy and simple. Cheers and ty
Glad to help 🙏

I see that your dash says steering wheel reduced. Do you remember why it had that?

Right on

I’ve seen some guys fix that with the 1234yf w/sealer. It really just depends on the size of the crack(s).
Thanks for the info brother
You bet
i need to do my 2018 sierra denali, i live in vancouver canada. will buy the 2 items and try it this weekend. thanks for the video.
Link is in the description, but yeah haven’t had an issue since. Over a year now… let me know how it goes
Thanks, Robert. I just followed your instructions, and it running cold 🥶 thanks!!!
Happy to help
Thanks for the information 👍 this helped out a lot. I dont have the owners manual and i purchased the wrong freon originally. Thanks bro.
You're welcome!
thanks! this saved me $425.00 at Chevy Dealership!
Happy to help
Why does the needle jump in the red when you recharge it? Is that ok? I stopped on mine because I was worried about breaking it.
I was wondering the same thing
No need to worry, it will jump as the pressure is very high on a brand new can. After 2-3 mins it will drop way down
Thanks for the tutorial. Good job.
You're welcome!
I can not connect to the TOP one with any of the adopters is it different ?
You don’t need too, you’ll not able to charge from that one anyways. They made the adapter to only fit the correct one so people wouldn’t have this issue.
I have an 18, gonna give it a shot. Thanks

Thank you !, I have a 2017 Chevy and was about to put in the regular stuff. But I’m headed to the parts store for the YF . Thanks🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Glad I could help
Just did this easy video. Thanks.
You're welcome
Do you have to climb up on the truck to reach down in there? I'm an old geezer and not very flexible.
It’s easier to reach it from behind the wheel
@@victoramaro4008
How do you reach it from behind the wheel?
Any issues with the ac condenser leaking like 1,000s of other gm trucks have in the past? Welds breaking and leak out Freon.?
LOL yeah man! Stood on the tire.
Hi Robert was your compressor engaging before you added the refrigerant?
Max out your AC and then start to charge.
Great information, right on!
Thanks
Ive been trying for the past 20 minutes to get the hose to put freon to connect to the bottom port and it doesn’t lock in 💢😒
Make sure you have the right 1234yf kit. The other kit doesn’t work. That’s for older vehicles and will damage it.
You should shake it up before and during. But cool quick video.
Appreciate the help and advice. Subscribe if you haven’t already, I’m about to do a few giveaways with my subscribers.
hows your truck holding up after recharging the ac, and where did u buy these products?
I put a link in the description of the kit I used. But I only needed one can and I haven’t refilled it since. Idk this video is over a year old
Is the fitting larger than the standard?
It's just a different fitting all together. It won't connect unless you use the correct one.
Why did your truck lose the refrigerant? I have the same truck with 78k miles and the air just stopped getting cold.
It happens around 65k/80k just needs a recharge. Mine didn’t stop blowing cold, it was just not as cold as it used to be.
What is the exact adapter you bought for it? I’m having trouble finding the right one!
I put a link in the video details.
Did you struggle connecting to the charging point??
Not really, make sure you have the right kind. The other type will not fit on that lower port. If it’s giving you a hard time make sure it’s the 1234yf with the right adapter.
But can we go back to the bike in the background. R6 or R1?😮❤
Yeah I'll make another video about the bike soon.
My 2017 Silverado feels like an oven right now I’m in the Central Valley in California having 107 degree weather with no ac and I keeps getting quotes of $500-$700 to get it fixed. I’m gonna have to get my husband to do this himself because I need cold air!
Remember those days! Hopefully a quick recharge will cool you guys down.
How did it get empty in the first please
I’m unsure! Haven’t had a problem since tho.
Thank for video

Thank you!
You’re welcome be sure to subscribe
so you leave it hooked up and open on there for up to 10 mins to get fully charged? just one of those cans? i have same gauge/can set up
@@Robert_Cain mine too!! did er yesterday thank you
@@Robert_Cain mine ran ice cold, it no longer runs ice cold. should i do max dry, leak stop, then add more refrigerant
@@SevenTwo5ivesounds like your condenser is cracked. Common issue
@@LuisHernandez-gu4mt it actually ended up working! still blowing cold!
I just used one can. I put a link in the details of the video.
Thank you very much
You’re welcome
Where’d you buy the adapter?
Added the link in the video details.
You are right.. not enough info out there.. 👍👌
You're welcome
I'm assuming this the same step for the 2017 gmc sierra 5.3 short bed v8 6speed tranny
Sure is
Was that just a quick fix? Or did you have to take the truck in for maintenance.
It fixed my issue
Freon capacity???
There’s a gauge on the adapter
❤
You’re welcome
Yea hope u fixed the issue it’s prolly ur condenser.
Not sure, just added one can and it's been working ever since.
Gracias
