I want to replace all those components to do a full robust A/C system recharge.

Its an 05 TAHOE w/ rear A/C.
It was working fine, air just got hot now. No leaks im sure of but will check. Compressor is engaging

So far:
-Bleed Old Freon
-New Freon & Lubricant
-Use of Vac Pump
-Front Orifice Tube
-Rear A/C Expansion Valve

Wat else?? Thanks

the blend door actuator may have taken a dump on ya if the compressor is still turning on and off and you dont see a nasty wet oil mess at a joint along the system.

The blend door only affects the front temperature. If both front and rear are not cooling, then you are going the right direction. Did you do a leak test with a leak detector or add dye when you charged the system? Possible leak locations are the front seal of the compressor caused by either an overheating clutch or a bad bearing, tubing to hose connections, condenser coil, either of the two evaporator coils, or an o-ring that has shrunk from old age at the tubing connections to the compressor or other components.

So your A/C is working fine and no leaks... so... I don't get it. Those are not maintenance items.
