I have a 98 K1500 with the 5.7. Last summer (2022) I worked on the A/C and charged it after not working since i bought it. It blew cold, only for the charge to go away after about a week. It short cycled until the compressor never engaged again. Obviously i assumed a leak. Just this last friday I took it up again determined to get a fix going and when i hooked up my gages, there was still about 50 psi static charge. I started leak checking with soapy water and found the compressor was leaking between the segments. Replaced comp, pulled down and recharged it sunday. It blows cold (40), but im still getting a low refrig charge symptom and again its going down almost daily. I put right at 48 oz in it.
what i cant figure out is how it kept a static charge all those months if its got a leak somewhere else. I leak checked the new compressor last night and I dont see anything. Anyone ever seen this? Thanks in advance for any help!
