Re: Head seems low on 98 GMC

Re: Head seems low on 98 GMC

Does compressor turn very easily, like with one finger? Are there little "catches" as you rotate cmpressor? Are there stainless steel chips in the orifce tube? If all are true- the your compressor has imploded suction reeds on one or more pistons.. and is trashed....just one way to recogn...

Head seems low on 98 GMC

System cools ok, but I have seen a decline in vent temps over the past summer. It has the HT6, the suction is around 40 and the head around 180 which seems to low to me, can something happen inside these compressors to where they don't pump correctly? I've recovered the charge, pulled a good vacuum ...
