GMC Sierra 3500 HD A/C Repair

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. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. “Who can fix my GMC Sierra 3500 HD 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 trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 2016 GMC A/C systems. Bring your GMC Sierra 3500 HD to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2016 GMC Sierra 3500 HD A/C system to see if repair work is required. We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure. 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” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your GMC Sierra 3500 HD A/C system to identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

Recharge the A/C in Your Sierra 3500 HD

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2016 GMC Sierra 3500 HD, 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. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you're ready to get back on the road. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2016 GMC Sierra 3500 HD A/C recharges.

Other 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. Typical A/C problems also include 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 may be due to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak. And smelly A/C in a 2016 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 trained technicians will do what they can to solve your A/C problems. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your Sierra 3500 HD’s A/C!

Questions About 2016 GMC Sierra 3500 HD A/C Systems

  • How do I make my Sierra 3500 HD air conditioning 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 Sierra 3500 HD 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? 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.
  • Is my Sierra 3500 HD A/C powered by 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 Sierra 3500 HD.
  • Why does the A/C in my Sierra 3500 HD smell like vinegar? 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 3500 HD to produce a vinegary odor.
  • 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.
