a/c control module

I have an 01 Suburban with bad control module. Found one on ebay for 35.00 that looks just like mine but says its for 02 model. Are they the same? A new one from the dealer is 350.00.

Thanks

1. call dealer and ask
2. ebay? you taking chances, you know that, right?
3. why not local junkyards? at least you'll have it warranted for some time or can swap for another one. will probably cost more, but definitely not as much as from chevy.

Good point about ebay. I have never used it and have been leary. But 35.00 as opposed to 350.00 seemed worth it. As far as junk yards go, I have not seen many left around here. EPA sort of run them out over the years. There is a whole sale a/c place about 40 miles away that i can get one for about 150.00. May just go that route.

Thanks

Nothing wrong with ebay; I've gotten a lot of good deals over the years. Having said that I would be a little leary of automotive electronic parts.

My a/c quit blowing cold 50 degree vent and now only blows cool 70 degree vent. So I hooked up my gauges and I'm getting 40 on the low and 250 on the high, when I rev it up to 2,000 the low goes to 10-20 and the high goes to 300-330 all the lines are hot except the one from the compressor low side to the expansion valve. Also my expansion valve use to make a hissing noise and now it doesnt. Now heres the part I dont understand when I shut off the a/c the pressures dont equalize the low goes to 90 and the high goes to 250. I think the expansion valve maybe bad or there is a restriction somewhere in the system. Also I converted the system to freeze 12 last year and it worked fine for the whole summer and up untill last week. Yes the system was properly evacuated and recharged to the proper amount and the sight glass shows the freon moving just like it should. Here is the weird thing it did the same thing last year, the expansion valve quit making noise and the a/c quit blowing cold so I replaced the drier pulled vacuum on the system and recharged and the expansion valve started making the hissing sound and the a/c worked great. So I think I may have to replace the expansin valve flush the evaporetor pull vacuum and recharge. Also does anyone elses expansion valve make a hissing sound my 85 also does it with a full charged R12 system and it works great. Any Thoughts?Read More
