What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

Maybe something is out of alignment?

That, or then the compressor is locking up occasionally. I read something about the locking up thing when this all started a couple of weeks ago.

You going to try a new clutch assembly, or replace the entire compressor?

Since I don't want to touch the AC system myself, I'll try take it to the shop tomorrow for another diagnosis and we'll go from there.

But if there's something wrong with the compressor, it's probably better to throw a new one in there and be done with it.

Replacing the clutch assembly is a pita. It is easier and faster AND cheaper to replace the compressor assembly. I just did mine the other day. It took me about 2 hours total and that includes recharging the system.

Tried to swap in the 5100 fronts. Couldn't get the lower spring seat off the old struts due to rust. Anyone else have this problem?

I thought the the lower spring seat was apart of the shock.

Yes, mine were kinda stuck on as well. Had to really pry them off.

What did you use? I was up to a 4 lb hammer and a chisel and decided to back off.

Well... Guys at the shop put a new AC belt on and sent the Tahoe out the door. They said the one that shredded had sustained damage already earlier when I had the issue.

Okay... We'll see how long this one will last.

And in other news... Broke the damn hood shock yesterday when I opened the hood. The top of the shock broke away from the hood. Yay... Didn't look at it too carefully yet, but hopefully I didn't break something on the hood itself, too.

Damn...mine weren't that bad. I just used a flat head and a hammer and it popped off.
