While a detailed diagnostic procedure for all air conditioning systems would be impractical due to the many variations in construction and operation, there are three fundamental components of a total diagnosis:
- Refrigerant systems must have an adequate, but not excessive charge.
- Determination must be made whether the refrigerant system is governed by a cycling clutch compressor or by valves which control evaporator pressure.
- The air distribution system (blower motor, switches, vacuum lines and air ducts) must be operational before checking the ...

BRAKE SERVICE PROCEDURES FOR 2004 GMC Sierra 3500 AUTOMOBILES
Disc Brakes -> Delco Dual Piston Sliding Caliper -> Description
Vehicle: 2004 GMC Sierra 3500 8.1 V8 GAS
The caliper mounts in a way that allows the caliper to move laterally inboard as the brake pads wear. The caliper housing is a one piece casting with the inboard side containing the piston bore. The piston seal also acts as a return mechanism for the piston.
Applying the brake pedal causes the hydraulic pressure that moves the caliper piston. The piston then forces the inboard brake pad against the inboard braking surface of the rotor. Increasing the force against...
