Geez... Never ceases to amaze me with the BS that manufacturers can dream up. This vehicle is in Riggins, ID, and the owner requested an A/C recharge. When I got there it had static pressure of about 30 PSI but not enough to fire the compressor. I added freon and when the compressor started the bearing noise was bad. Not to mention the compressor isn't pumping either. I shut it down and notified the owner it was going to require a compressor and other parts. I called NAPA and found out that Chevy used two different compressors in that year. I ended up pulling the compressor just to identify the system the compressor no longer had a part tag or numbers. After figuring that out then found out they used 2 different expansion valves. WTF?! Needless to say, it's going to be expensive to just get this A/C going again. 

 

Waiting on the green light to rebuild...
