    Tough One A/C compressors

    I'm getting ready to buy some A/C parts and was trying to save all that I can. I was wondering has anyone used the Tough One Brand A/C compressors. Also has anyone used the remanufactured A/C compressors?

    Need a Compressor. What brand and where should I get it?

    I found a shop that will do the labor if I bring the parts. I was told I needed the following: Compressor Accumulator Orfice Tube 4 Cans of Refrigedent They quoted me $440 for the labor. I thought that was a little high but I didn't argue. I'm sure they just enter it in the computer...

    quote for A/C repair Good/Bad

    Yep you guys are right. I got a second opinion and it was $100 cheaper. The second quote was $1048. He did the quote by phone. However he did tell me that he wanted to inspect it himself because he said that the tensioner don't always have to be replaced.

    Took mine to the shop today. I was told I needed a new compressor, Accumilator, Belt Tensioner, Oriphice Tube, pretty much a whole system and they want to do it all for $1188. Said the compressor is $467 alone. I'll get one more quote and then I gotta get it fixed. Too hot in Mississippi to...

    Need a Compressor. What brand and where should I get it?

    Thanks! I was thinking I could come out cheaper buying it myself and have a shop install it but no one will give me a price by phone. They want me to bring it in so they can inspect it.

    On my 2000 Chevy Tahoe NBS, I have a loud noise coming from under my hood when the A/C is on and the faster i go the louder it gets. Searched the forums here and found where others have had the same issue and it turned out to be the compressor. I was told not to run it any longer because it...

    rattle coming from engine when A/C on

    I know this is an old post but instead of me creating a new thread about my issues I decided to search and see what I could find. Looks like I hit the nail on the coffin. But The bulletin references Tahoes from 02 - 04 however mine is a 2000 and it has the exact same symptons. It's getting...

    brake caliper paint

    Same method here minus the taping. The duplicolor kits comes with spray on cleaner. Spray it on then wipe the calibers down with a rag.

    brake caliper paint

    Haven't done the tahoe brakes but I have painted the brakes on my avalanche. I know it's not what you're looking for but the red really have people asking me how much I paid for the high performance brakes. I used the Duplicolor kit. Used a brush. Didn't need to tape or mask anything off.

    A/C grownling noise

    Were you able to determine what the issue was? The reason I ask if because my 2000 Chevy Tahoe 5.3 LT is experiencing the same issue. It's blowing cold front and rear but it's making a noise that gets louder the faster the fan blows.

    High Idle on my 2000 5.3

    Thanks for the information. I maintain them to the best of my mechanical knowledge. Oil changes, fluid levels, brakes, etc. When it starts to sound strange or not run right then I have a professional look at it and tell me the problem. My dad is a good mechanic so most of the time I let them...

    Going to look at 2005 Tahoe w/50,000 miles for $20,000

    I think the overall consensus here is 20k is too high and I agree. We're talking about a vehicle over 5 years old. 15k max.

    Thanks! I wasn't sure If I was in the right section but it was the only one that had any reference to Tech questions. Would the moderators get upset with me if I posted the same topic in the General section? Don't want to double post. ---------- Post added at 06:41 AM ---------- Previous...

    help me decide on my wheels

    I agree with Drowndindreams. I would keep the 20s you have on there now. They look sick. It'll really look nice when you do the 3/4 drop.
