I have a 2000 Chevy
That is a
REAL SHAME... because the
MOST LIKELY
source of all your troubles is the 17 year old seal
on the front of that compressor...
Now
opening the system... you have let in atmosphere...
(means
ANY moisture).
If your system works at IDLE... it is working
WELL...
Right now my BEST GUESS is that you did not pull a
full vacuum... and hold it for about 45 minutes...
((intended to EVACUATE & DRY out your system))...
Check out the ROBINAIR vacuum pumps
on AMAZON...
OR (used)...
If the SELLER says fully functional... It is a protected
purchase (eBay guaranteed (have a look)) :
ROBINAIR COOLTECH 15400 Vacuum Pump eBay
Of course you are on your own getting the R12/22
fittings to
adapt your R134a fittings (
type... MAYBE
(you
MUST check vehicles
LABELS yourself...!!)
I am just saying ICE in your expansion valve
is what is KILLING YOU (my opinion).
Hope this helps

High Idle and transmission shifts at higher RPM than normal
You will need a multimeter to test the tps--do you have one? Normally, a bad tps will set the engine light--is it on?
if yes to both of these questions, have the computer scanned at your local parts store and post the trouble codes here. Also reply with engine size if you want a test procedure.
Radio sound low and squeeky, works good in summertime
The volume control on your radio is called a potentiometer, which may be going bad. It works better when its warm because materials expand as they warm up and make tighter contact with each other.
It is also a possible a bad wiring connection exists. Poor contact will cause static, poor audio quality and intermittent output.
Your radio will have plug type connector(s) Your speakers will most likely each have two wires with single female spade connectors of different widths (keeps the polarity correct) the wire with the stripe (of whatever color) will be connected to the negative (-) speaker terminal.
So you need to check all the connections, one is making poor contact.
If both speakers (assuming you have two) sound good or bad... then start with the plug connectors for the radio and any independent black ground wire coming out of the radio.
If one speakers sounds okay check the connections on the other one. You check the connections by carefully pulling the speaker wire off of the speaker and then carefully pushing it back on making sure it feels tight and secure.
PS: If you pull the fuse for the radio, the radio will have no power and will not work. The radio coming on proves the fuse is good.
PSS: Your owners manual should provide lots of information on your sound system components.

Your pump is controlled by the pcm using a 12 volt signal to the relay. Pull out the relay and probe the relay socket with a voltmeter. There should be 2 terminals with 12 volts when the key is on. With the key off, there should be one 12 volt terminal coming from the ecm b fuse. See top left of diagram below.

How to replace a/c blower switches 2000 Silverado truck
First step is to apply parking brake to keep vehicle from moving. Remove bezel surrounding gauge cluster, radio, temp control by setting tilt steering to lowest position. With key in ignition, turn key to on position (but do not turn vehicle on). Put gear shift lever to D, L2 or L3 (enough to get shifter out of way when bezel is removed). On far bottom right of bezel, you should be able to get a grip on corner of bezel with your finger, lightly pull on corner. Bezel is held in with tabs. Pull bezel until loose/removed. Temp controller is held in by 2 or 3 screws (7mm). Then just unplug controller. Just follow reverse steps for installation. Good luck.

Check plugs. Timing issue may have fouled them. Any check engine lights on? I know 5.0 and 5.7l have known issues with fuel injection spider going out and causing sluggish performance. Might need to look into that as well. Check fuel pressure. Check and recheck for vacuum leaks/cracked lines.
