Product Details

This Universal Air compressor-condenser replacement kit is built for 1998 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vans that use the specified first-design Sanden-style setup and do not have rear A/C. KT5312A is a fitment-specific HVAC service part for restoring compressor and condenser function in the front air conditioning system. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common A/C Problems It Can Address

• Loss of cabin cooling from compressor failure
• Reduced A/C performance from condenser-related wear
• Noisy or inefficient compressor operation
• System issues tied to a first-design Sanden replacement setup
• Front A/C service needs on Express and Savana vans without rear A/C

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle is a 1998 Chevrolet Express 1500, 2500, or 3500, or a 1998 GMC Savana 1500, 2500, or 3500 without rear A/C before ordering. Confirm the first-design Sanden replacement configuration and match the existing HVAC layout to the part number KT5312A. Proper evacuation, leak checking, and refrigerant recharge are required after A/C component replacement.
