2001 Tahoe AC Problem
Hi All,
I have a 2001 Tahoe 5.3
Is it difficult to change the AC Belt and the pressure switch on the AC? The mechanic near my home wants $210 (including parts) to do this, but if its something I can do that won't take all day....would rather save some money! Also, how can you tell if the tensioner is working correctly or not?
Thanks!

Ill post them here so someone else can learn from it too in the future
The first one is your AC switch, second the belt procedures.
Right click on the pic when viewing it and save to your pc, the forum compresses it a little so you cant read it. View it on your pc , it will have better quality so you can read it.

Anyone want to chime in on the AC switch replacement, Do you have to let the pressure out when changing this switch? I have the feeling it might go Speuuuuuuu, it you just unscrew it.

I think I heard somewhere that the switch can be removed, but I would side with caution and ask and AC shop or do as Marc suggested and go very easy on backing it out.
I have had good luck calling local shops and asking for input on repairs, I have found that if you educate yourself on what you are working on, then ask their input they are more likely to help you, but they don't like being asked how to do it over the phone....
