I just heard my 99 GMC Suburban AC suffers from the "Black Death" !!! What is this?? Should I start looking for another shop or is this a legitimate failure?
Thanks

Black Death man, this what they tell me at the car fixit place. Says my car is suffering from Black Death
"Black Death," as it is known by A/C system service professionals, results from a catastrophic breakdown of the refrigerant-lubricant which in turn causes excessive wear inside the compressor. In a typical case of "Black Death," metal particles are circulated throughout the system contaminating other components and necessitating either thorough flushing or complete replacement. The swash-plate compressors used by Ford are particularly susceptible to this problem. Similar damage can also occur inside the compressors used in some GM and Chrysler A/C systems.
