Sorry but will try again,it won't let me type pass the m.S I have a 2001 Tahoe LS 5.3L 4x4 sweet.I'm changing out the compressor out because of a clatter sound when turned on,it also has rear air that only blow's warm air.I beleive the problem with that is the exspansion valve is bad,and the front is cold only when you drive and get's warmer when you are at a idle,also I'll be changing the dryer,and orfice tube.So my quesion is I don't use the rear air at all,so do I have to change the rear exspanion valve out,in a nother word can just leave the rear air aloan and not touch it at all.Could you please give me a answer asap.Thank you P.S.the truck is great!!!!!!!!!!

    If you don't get a better response all I can suggest is looking at the theory of operation and system operation and repain instructions in a workshop manual. There is a company that independent auto repair shops get their information from, this same information is available inexpensively for people that work on their own cars.. The information is year make and model specific, covering repair procedures, torque specifications, fluid capacities and specifications, service bulletins, component locations, wiring diagrams ect.... Alldata is very easy to navigate http://bit.ly/AllData_Repair_Manuals_Online
    After repairs are complete it is best to evacuate the system and see it maintains a vacuum (no more leak), then recharge the system using pressure gauges to check high and low side pressures.
