Hey guys, I've owned this 97 4x4 tahoe for a few years. got it at 125k now has 136k. Never bothered with the AC until today, my motivation is that my driver window is having problems going back up so I want to rely on AC instead of rolling all the windows down.
I ran an entire recharge can through the system, the clutch engaged for the first time in many years. I let it idle for about 20 minutes to make sure the fresh freeon (say that 10 times) made its way thru the system. It seems to have improved but seems weak still. I have a video I will post. The compressor runs for about 3 seconds long then stops for about 12 seconds, repeating this cycle indefinitely. I feel like I should buy another can and use more freeon but I'm afraid of overcharging the system. I took a video that shows the gauge and AC clutch engaging.
Opinions? what does your 97 Tahoe do? It is a colder day today, about 50 degrees outside so its hard to tell how good the ac is working, if it is.
I have included a picture of the gauge on the can so you can see the numbers to correlate with the video.
