GMC R1500 Suburban A/C Repair

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Is that a hot stove? Nope, just your steering wheel. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. “Who can fix my GMC R1500 Suburban A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know our way around GMC vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 1989 GMC. Bring your GMC R1500 Suburban to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 1989 GMC R1500 Suburban’s 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. What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your GMC R1500 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.

A/C Recharge for GMC R1500 Suburban

While your 1989 GMC R1500 Suburban’s air conditioner is being serviced, 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 use GMC’s specifications to evacuate the system. 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 1989 GMC R1500 Suburban A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting GMC R1500 Suburban A/C Problems

Hot air is a common GMC R1500 Suburban A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Typical A/C problems also 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. 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. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 1989 GMC R1500 Suburban? 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. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your R1500 Suburban.

Questions About 1989 GMC R1500 Suburban A/C Systems

  • How do I make my R1500 Suburban air conditioning 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.
  • What’s making my R1500 Suburban A/C put out warm air? If your car’s air conditioning isn’t blowing cold air at all (or it tries, then turns warm), you could have a clogged expansion valve, a faulty compressor clutch, a leak, or a malfunctioning fuse in the system.
  • How does my A/C system get a leak? Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your R1500 Suburban’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 R1500 Suburban A/C use gas? While your vehicle’s A/C system doesn’t directly use fuel, it does draw power from the engine, which can impact the fuel consumption of your R1500 Suburban.
  • What does it mean if the A/C in my R1500 Suburban smells like vinegar? Moisture can accumulate on your vehicle’s A/C system components, creating the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. As this bacteria grows, it can cause the air conditioning system in your R1500 Suburban to have a vinegar-like smell.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my R1500 Suburban’s A/C to work? If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your R1500 Suburban’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
