Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD A/C Repair

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Your steering wheel feels like lava. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. “Who can fix my Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know Chevrolet vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 2009 Chevrolet. Bring your Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD’s A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a leak test. 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. A “sniffer” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

Silverado 3500 HD A/C Recharge

While your 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To start this process, a technician will flush out the old refrigerant from your vehicle’s A/C system. Next, they will evacuate the system according to Chevrolet's recommendations. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you’re good to go. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting 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. Typical A/C problems also include weak airflow, which could indicate an old ventilation fan, a seal or hose that needs replacing, or mold buildup in your A/C system. If your A/C system blows cold air first but then it turns warm, this can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your A/C problems. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your Silverado 3500 HD — without all the sweat puddles!

Questions About 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD A/C Systems

  • How can I make my Silverado 3500 HD air conditioner colder? Park in the shade whenever you can, and use a reflective sunshade in the windshield when you’re parked. If you’re the only one in the car, close all the vents except the ones that point toward you. Give the system the final boost it needs with an A/C performance check and recharge from Firestone Complete Auto Care.
  • Why is my Silverado 3500 HD A/C blowing hot air? Maybe your A/C starts cool but then gets warm. Or maybe it never gets cold in the first place. Either way, your A/C troubles could be traced back to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak.
  • How does my A/C system get a leak? A/C system leaks are often due to a combination of age and moisture. Rubber seals and gaskets naturally degrade over time, allowing refrigerant to exit and moisture to enter your Silverado 3500 HD's A/C system.
  • Does the A/C in my Silverado 3500 HD rely on 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.
  • What can cause the A/C in my Silverado 3500 HD to smell like vinegar? If a vinegar-like odor comes from your A/C, bacteria growth could be the culprit. Moisture accumulation in the air conditioning system of your Silverado 3500 HD creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.
  • Why does my Silverado 3500 HD’s A/C only work when the car is moving? 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.
