Installation (3500 HD, Cab & Chassis, Sierra, Silverado)

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2002 GMC Yukon XL, 2002 GMC Yukon, 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2002 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Take the following measures when installing sealing washers:
  • Keep dirt and foreign material from the sealing surfaces of the washers, the hose block, and the compressor ports. Clean all of the sealing surfaces with a lint-free rag.
  • Do not reuse sealing washers.
  • The sealing washers do not need oiling prior to assembly.

Install the sealing washer onto the pilots of the suction/discharge block fitting. The washers must bottom against the surface of the block fitting. See Fig 1. Install the hose block to the compressor. Ensure that the sealing washers are seated within the compressor machined surfaces. See Fig 2. Hold the block in place. Tighten to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
