A-Premium A/C Suction & Discharge Hose Assembly — Direct-Fit for 1996–2000 GM V8 Trucks & SUVs, OEM-Style

A-Premium A/C Suction & Discharge Line Hose Assembly replaces the compressor-to-evaporator suction hose and compressor-to-condenser discharge hose for select 1996–2000 GM V8 trucks and SUVs.

This A-Premium hose assembly is engineered as a direct-fit replacement for a long list of Chevrolet, GMC and Cadillac vehicles equipped with V8 5.0L and 5.7L engines built between 1996 and 2000. It restores the sealed refrigerant path between the compressor, evaporator and condenser so your factory A/C routing is maintained without custom modifications. The part includes the properly formed metal lines and factory-style fittings where required, helping to reduce installation time when matched to the compatible models listed below.

Which vehicles will this hose assembly fit?

This assembly fits many GM full-size trucks and SUVs from the late 1990s, including C/K-series, Suburban, Tahoe, Yukon and select Cadillac Escalade models. Fitment varies by model year, engine and whether the vehicle has rear temperature controls, so verify cross-reference numbers or the reference part list before ordering.

• Chevrolet C1500, C2500, C3500 and K1500/K2500/K3500 models (1996–2000) with V8 5.0L or 5.7L engines
• Tahoe, Suburban and Yukon models (1996–1999/2000) without rear temperature controls
• GMC equivalents and 1999 Cadillac Escalade 5.7L (where specified)
• Reference part numbers: 56156, HA5796C, 15741045, 19169333 and related OEM cross-references

How does this assembly match the original equipment?

The A-Premium assembly is manufactured to replicate the factory hose geometry, fittings and service connections so it installs where the original lines did. Materials and crimps are selected to withstand typical A/C system pressures and road conditions found on full-size trucks and SUVs.

• Pre-formed metal tubing and service fittings mirror OEM routing for straightforward replacement
• Low-pressure suction line and high-pressure discharge line included in one assembly
• Durable seals and crimps designed for refrigerant containment and vibration resistance

What should I expect during installation and service?

Installation is a direct replacement when matched to the correct vehicle application; basic A/C service tools and procedure are still required. Replace O-rings and perform a proper evacuation and recharge to meet system specs—this hose is not a plug-and-play cure without correct refrigerant handling.

• Swap the assembly following OEM torque and sealing practices to prevent leaks
• Replace O-rings and lubricate as recommended for your refrigerant type
• Evacuate, pressure-test and recharge the A/C system per manufacturer procedures after installation

Who is this for: This A-Premium A/C suction and discharge line assembly is intended for DIY mechanics, independent repair shops and fleet technicians working on late‑1990s GM full-size trucks and SUVs that need a reliable direct-fit replacement for worn or leaking A/C lines. It is ideal when you require OEM-like routing and fittings but prefer an aftermarket option backed by a limited warranty. Always confirm compatibility with your vehicle's year, engine and rear temperature control configuration before purchase.
