99 tahoe problem

[Nortex]

I did the vacuum on high and low. Did oil and all and the high side wouldn't get above 150 and low was 50. I decided I have to replace the compressor. Is there a certain brand I need to look for?

 

[SunlitComet]

delphi or delco.

 

[Nortex]

Good I ordered delphi

 

[SunlitComet]

how did you ruin a compressor anyways, besides having the outside atmosphere in the system as before?

 

[Nortex]

I couldn't get it to build head pressure. It would get to 150 and no more. I took it in and the shop said the only thing it could be was a compressor

 

[SunlitComet]

well we know that but unless i am mistaken it was a new one was it not? so how did that one get ruined. did not use the oil properly as directed?

 

[Nortex]

It was on there when I bought the truck. It could have been trashed before and I have to admit I didn't add oil when I originally filled it. I bought it and stopped auto oreillys and filled with a can and attached gage setup.

 

[SunlitComet]

hmm, your first post implied you actually did it yourself.

I did all but the comp. He said it was brand new and never used. He lied lol
