‘00 K2500, 350, 4l80e.
Current is HT6/H6 compressor. Two cans R-134a with dye and the only spots I can find are in the compressor. Looks like common “belly leak”. First can I shot in had dye, didn’t realize it also had stop leak.
Current replacement list is:
Suction/Dishcarge lines
Orifice Tube
Drier
Sanden SD7H15 compressor & SD-15 oil
New o-rings with nylog
Plan to flush:
Evap
Liquid line from condenser to evap.
Question is, should I go ahead and replace the condenser? I really don’t like the idea of stop leak through there, but the aftermarket offerings scare me. I wish I had noticed it had stop leak before I shot it in there.
I’ve had the truck about 3 years and it’s always leaked, maybe the condenser replacement is a foregone conclusion?
Not really worried about the $, just prefer better quality stuff.
As always I am appreciative of y’all’s experience and opinions. Hopefully all the lines break loose and I can keep the evap. Any suggestions welcome. Obviously, plan to vacuum down, hold overnight, and recharge.
