First,
Big Salute and Honor to all VFW, POW Vets out there. Unfortunately all holidays are gassed up as days for spending money shopping, eating and drinking rather then its real purpose which is to reflect on the greatest and in many cases ultimate sacrifices our soldiers made in the name of a great country. Thank you all for your service in protecting me and my family and friends.
Guys, I have a small issue that may or may not be easy to resolve. I have automatic HVAC system in my '03 TB LTZ. The lowest the setting dial will go is 60 which is warm air. I attempted several times to recharge the AC with that AC PRO gadget. The AC accumulator/drier does not get cold, neither does the pipe railing above the engine block. Finally I looked down and saw the spinner in the center of the AC compressor (I believe its called the AC compressor clutch) does not come on at all though the main spindle that is moved by the serp belt does spin. The fan clutch works perfectly, the pulleys and alternator all work fine, and the ac system including the small unit for the rear passengers comes on and blows warm to hot air. So what is the problem? Do I need to replace just the condenser and compressor? Or the condenser, compressor and accumulator/drier? I include the condenser because I once heard that if you're gonna replace the compressor it's a rule of thumb to replace the condenser due to shrapnel being thrown at it by a damaged compressor.
Thanks Guys once again
