GMC G3500 A/C Repair

When you get in the car on a hot summer day, the last thing you want is a broken air conditioner. Your steering wheel feels like it's burning your hands. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my GMC G3500?" Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We’ve got experience with GMC vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 1984 GMC. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your GMC G3500

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 1984 GMC G3500 A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and 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" is a machine that's run along parts of your GMC G3500 A/C system that can detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

G3500 A/C Recharge

While your 1984 GMC G3500’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. Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per GMC guidelines. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you’re good to go. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 1984 GMC G3500 A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting GMC G3500 A/C Problems

Hot air is a common GMC G3500 A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Other common A/C problems include weak airflow, which could mean you have a compromised seal, mildew or mold buildup, a loose or damaged hose, or a ventilation fan that needs to be replaced. An A/C system that starts off blowing cold air but then turns warm may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. And smelly A/C in a 1984 GMC G3500? 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 G3500 — without all the sweat puddles!

Frequently Asked Questions for 1984 GMC G3500 A/C Systems

  • How can I make my G3500 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 G3500 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? To put it simply, age and moisture are some of the main causes of leaks in your A/C. Over time, rubber gaskets and seals can wear out, which pushes much-needed refrigerant out of your G3500’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Does the A/C in my G3500 rely on gas?  The air conditioning system in your G3500 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 the A/C in my G3500 smell like vinegar? If the air conditioning in your G3500 smells like vinegar, it could be due to bacteria growth on system components such as the evaporator and heater cores. Bacteria can grow when moisture accumulates on air conditioning system components, providing a breeding ground for microorganisms.
  • Why does my G3500’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 G3500 may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
