How to install a 2008 chevrolet uplander van a/c compressor kit
Michael, this job requires special tools. You need to recover the refrigerant. But your big issue will be removing all of the moisture from the system, after the compressor surgery.
System oil is another major concern. As per directions, measure that you remove from the compressor. Adjust accordingly. Meaning for example, (Random values, check specs for your system) if you were to have 4 oz of oil in the compressor, but you find only 3 oz (measured!), you are not down 1 oz. The entire system is 25% low on oil. Adjust accordingly. No biggie, but if you are not aware of these things, you will introduce moisture into your system, which will react negatively with the metal parts of the system, causing costly damage.
Always replace the receiver/dryer when you open an A/C system.
(it has oil in it, too...)
Really, dollars and cents, this job might want to be done by a trained professional.
Discharge of refrigerant is ******* most everywhere.

I have a 2008 Chevy Uplander and one of the codes
which has to do with emissions.
More specifically it has to do with charcoal canister vent valve solenoid . Which is common for these to go out .
P0449 CHEVROLET - Evaporative Emission Vent Valve Solenoid Malfunction !
This would not have anything to do with your wet spot problem . The vent solenoid is in the back of the vehicle at the fuel tank
My 2008 chevy uplander , had to change radio (cd player not working) now radio is locked, how can I unlock it?
Try this:
How to Unlock a Chevy Radio
Step 1: Start the vehicle and turn on the radio.
Step 2: Press and hold preset numbers 2 and 3 until a three digit code appears on the radio display. Write this code down.
Step 3: Press the AM/FM button. Your radio will display a second three digit code. Write the second code down. You will now have a six digit code.
Step 4: Call the Chevy Radio Code phone line at 1-800-537-5140.
Step 4: Enter 106010 followed by the # key to direct you to the radio code retrieval system.
Step 5: Enter the six digit code you retrieved in steps 2 and 3 followed by the * key. They must be in order. You will be given a four digit radio code. Write down the radio code.
Step 6: Start your vehicle and turn on the radio. Using the Minute and Hour buttons, enter in the four digit radio code to your stereo system. Press the AM/FM button to unlock your stereo.
How to Unlock a GM Radio
Step 1: Start the vehicle and turn on the radio. The radio will display "LOC" indicating the Theftlock system is activated.
Step 2: Press and hold preset buttons 1 and 4 for ten seconds. (If you don't have a fourth preset button, press and hold presets 2 and 3.) The radio will display a three digit number. Write this number down.
Step 3: Press the AM/FM button. Your radio will display a second three digit code. Write the second code down. You will now have a six digit code.
Step 4: Contact your local GM Dealer and give them the six digit code. They will give you a four digit radio code.
Many dealers will give you your radio code for free, while others may charge a small fee. If your dealer is charging a larger fee, consider calling another dealer or doing a Google search for sites offering GMC Radio codes. They usually charge a small (around $10) fee.
Step 5: Start your vehicle and turn on the radio. Press the Hour button on the radio until the first two number of the code appear. Next, press the Minute button until the last two numbers of the code are displayed. Once all four digits appear, press the AM/FM button to unlock your stereo. The display will read "SEC" indicating you have successfully unlocked your radio and it is fully operational.
If radio display reads "INOP" while the vehicle is on, too many incorrect radio codes have been entered. To remove "INOP" from your display and unlock your radio, you must leave the key in the On position for one hour. Once you've retrieved your radio unlock code, write it down for future use. Your radio code will not change and having it handy will save from going from the radio code retrieval process again.
Uplander wont start after changing battery
Wont turn over after replacing battery ??????? When you turn the key to the start position nothing happens ? Have to ask because won't turn over means something else to somebody else .
You have a engine cranks - no start or you have a no crank - no start .
Do the light's on the instrument cluster come on when you turn on the key ? Do the Headlamps work ?
Battery Disconnect or Replacement Problems
Engine overheating
It may only be the temp sensor in the radiator that activates the fan. If that fan don't work, the engine will overheat. Heat forces water out upon expansion is why you see the leak in driveway. Check the temp sensor in the radiator before changing anything else my friend. That sensor won't cost that much. You can always remove the wires off the sensor an hook them together then take it for a drive with the fan always on. It won't overheat then unless you really do have a coolant leak, but still sounds to me like a bad temp sensor. Luck toya Bro.
