Detailed Description

The kit is specified for Tahoe applications with dual outlets and no rear A/C, and for Yukon applications with a Sanden A/C compressor, dual controls, and a fixed orifice, also without rear A/C. For Tahoe service, the notes recommend replacing the condenser with a new condenser during repair.

• Replacing a worn or failed front A/C compressor assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s compressor style, outlet configuration, control setup, and rear A/C status before ordering. For the 2000 Chevrolet Tahoe application, the fitment notes call for condenser replacement with a new condenser. Confirm the existing system matches the listed front-position fitment for CK4257 before installation.
