GMC Sierra 3500 HD 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 lava. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. “Who can fix my GMC Sierra 3500 HD A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know GMC vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 2013 GMC. Bring your GMC Sierra 3500 HD to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2013 GMC Sierra 3500 HD’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 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 Sierra 3500 HD A/C system to detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

Recharge the A/C in Your Sierra 3500 HD

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2013 GMC Sierra 3500 HD, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To do this, one of our technicians will remove the refrigerant in your A/C system (if there is even any left to remove). Next, they will evacuate the system according to GMC's recommendations. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you're ready to get back on the road. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2013 GMC Sierra 3500 HD A/C recharges.

Common GMC Sierra 3500 HD A/C Problems

Hot air is a common GMC Sierra 3500 HD A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Another common A/C problem is weak airflow, which could be caused by mold or mildew buildup, a loose hose, an old ventilation fan, or a compromised seal. 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 2013 GMC Sierra 3500 HD? 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. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your Sierra 3500 HD — without all the sweat puddles!

2013 GMC Sierra 3500 HD A/C System FAQs

  • How can I make my Sierra 3500 HD 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 Sierra 3500 HD A/C put out warm 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? Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your Sierra 3500 HD’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 running the A/C in my Sierra 3500 HD use gasoline?  The air conditioning system in your Sierra 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 Sierra 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 Sierra 3500 HD creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my Sierra 3500 HD’s A/C to work? A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your Sierra 3500 HD is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.
