my 99 had ac problems, gas it up and within 3-4 days it was gone, we put in dye and everything and couldnt find anything anywhere. my suggestion is to take it to someone who has an electronic leak detector, its about $3-400 so i dont think its worth it to buy one, and see if you can find it then, its probably on the high side

btw, i never found my leak i just sold the truck as is

Talked to Torque_Wrench's tech and he said the leak (dye) sometimes hides on the backside of the condenser. We'll see if I have time to drop it back off today.

I've never had good luck with the dye. My dad bought a Snap On sniffer on ebay and I borrow it when I need one. He's moving over an hour away so i'm going to have to buy one myself now I'll never work on AC again without one.

Alright, if any one cares...this AC kicked my wallet's ***. Loooooooong story short I replaced EVERYTHING except the compressor. The mechainc had it on the lift, had his hand on the compressor with a vacuum on the system and was searching...searching...searching, and he said, "I have NO idea, there would be dye all of the this compressor if it was leaking." and he spun the pulley on the compressor. You could hear the hiss.......hiss.......hiss....hiss....hissss as it spun. IT WAS THE ******* COMPRESSOR!!!!

So I ordered a compressor from Torque_Wrench. Matched to my truck. Got it, mechanic got everything apart and...WRONG COMPRESSOR!!! WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF

After Torque_Wrench talking to GM it seems a 2002 Suburban 5.3 A/C compressor was on my truck. WTF?!!?!?WTF is a 2002 compressor doing on my 2000 truck?!?!?!?

So far, everything seems to be working okay. I ******* hope so, I have replcaed EVERYTHING on the system. If anything is wrong, it's electrical. (I even replaced low and high switches)

Bizzare

I hope that's the end of your problems with the heat/cool system so you can get back to spending all you cash on more important mods
