Bring your Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD A/C system to see if repair work is required. We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure. If we suspect a leak, we’ll send a U/V dye through your A/C system or use a “sniffer” to find the leak.

If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

Silverado 3500 HD A/C Recharge

Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you're ready to get back on the road. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD A/C recharges.

Common Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too.

2008 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD A/C System FAQs

  • Can I make my Silverado 3500 HD air conditioner colder? For starters, use a sun-blocking shade in the windshield while you’re parked, or look for a shady parking spot. Closing all the passenger vents in your car can help redirect cold air toward you, cooling you off faster. Still need more chill? Head to Firestone Complete Auto Care for an A/C performance check and recharge.
  • What’s making my Silverado 3500 HD A/C put out warm air? An A/C blowing hot air has several possible root causes. There could be an issue with your compressor clutch, a blown fuse, a leak, or a clog in the expansion valve.
  • What causes A/C system leaks? Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your Silverado 3500 HD’s A/C system naturally degrade. Moisture can get into the system and cause a malfunction, or parts can simply wear out so that your system no longer seals properly.
  • Does my Silverado 3500 HD A/C use gas?  The air conditioning system in your Silverado 3500 HD does not use gasoline directly as a fuel source, but it does require some power from the engine, which indirectly affects your car's fuel consumption.
  • Why does my Silverado 3500 HD have a vinegary smell coming from the A/C? It’s easy for moisture to accumulate in your car’s air conditioning system, which can cause microorganisms like bacteria to grow. In turn, this bacteria growth can cause the A/C in your Silverado 3500 HD to produce a vinegary odor.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my Silverado 3500 HD’s A/C to work? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your Silverado 3500 HD may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
