You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my GMC K2500 Suburban A/C?” Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know GMC vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 1997 GMC A/C systems. Bring your GMC K2500 Suburban to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 1997 GMC K2500 Suburban A/C system to see if repair work is required. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and leak test. If we think there might be a leak, we'll run a special U/V dye through the system or use a "sniffer." What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your GMC K2500 Suburban A/C system to detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

K2500 Suburban A/C Recharge

When we perform an A/C repair on your 1997 GMC K2500 Suburban, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. During this process, a technician will remove the old refrigerant from the 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 after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you’re good to go. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 1997 GMC K2500 Suburban A/C recharges.

Other GMC K2500 Suburban A/C Problems

Hot air is a common GMC K2500 Suburban A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Other common A/C problems include weak airflow, which could be caused by mold or mildew buildup, a loose hose, an old ventilation fan, or a compromised seal. If you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes warm, this may be due to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 1997 GMC K2500 Suburban? This can mean you have mold in your evaporator case, or it may indicate that it’s time to change your cabin air filter. Our technicians will work to solve your A/C problems to the best of their ability. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your K2500 Suburban’s A/C!

Questions About 1997 GMC K2500 Suburban A/C Systems

  • How can I make my K2500 Suburban air conditioner colder? Here are a few quick ideas. Shut the passenger air vents and point the other vents directly toward you. Park your car in the shade and use a window sun blocker. Then visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for an A/C performance check and recharge.
  • Why is my K2500 Suburban A/C blowing hot 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 K2500 Suburban’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Is my K2500 Suburban A/C powered by gas? Your K2500 Suburban’s A/C uses some power from the engine to run. So, while your air conditioning system may not directly use gasoline as a fuel source, using the A/C can indirectly affect your vehicle’s fuel efficiency.
  • Why does my K2500 Suburban 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 K2500 Suburban to produce a vinegary odor.
  • What is causing my K2500 Suburban’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? Damaged or worn components in your K2500 Suburban’s electrical or air conditioning system can cause the A/C to only work when the car is moving. You may be dealing with low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
