Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Your steering wheel feels like it's burning your hands. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. “Who can fix my GMC Sierra 1500 HD A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know GMC vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2006 GMC Sierra 1500 HD A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your GMC Sierra 1500 HD

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2006 GMC Sierra 1500 HD 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 any signs point to a possible leak, we’ll send a special U/V dye through the system, or use something called a “sniffer.” A “sniffer” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your GMC Sierra 1500 HD 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.

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. 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 good to go. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2006 GMC Sierra 1500 HD A/C recharges.

2006 GMC Sierra 1500 HD A/C System FAQs

  • How do I make my Sierra 1500 HD 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.
  • Why do I get hot air from my Sierra 1500 HD A/C? 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 can cause an A/C system 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 Sierra 1500 HD's A/C system.
  •  Does running the A/C in my Sierra 1500 HD use gasoline? Your Sierra 1500 HD’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.
  • My Sierra 1500 HD’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that? 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 Sierra 1500 HD to produce a vinegary odor.
  • Why won’t my Sierra 1500 HD’s A/C cool the vehicle when the car is stopped? If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your Sierra 1500 HD’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
