GMT800 A/C Refrigerant Label – Reproduction (2005-2006)

Description

Restore the Later GMT800 A/C Refrigerant Information Label

Restore the correct factory-style underhood A/C service information with this reproduction GMT800 A/C Refrigerant Information label for matching later-production GM trucks and SUVs.

This product recreates the bilingual English/French artwork associated with GM reference 10388864. It includes the R-134a high-pressure warning, PAG-oil wording, qualified-service notice, airbag warning, diesel-engine caution, and updated refrigerant charge table used on the later second-design label.

The reproduction is printed on an oversized vinyl sheet with a white trim keyline. Trim around the keyline before applying the finished label at the original fan-shroud, radiator-support, or radiator-air-deflector location.

Updated Charge Table Shown on This Label

Service note: These values reproduce the figures printed on the 10388864 second-design label. Refrigerant capacity can vary with body style, front-only versus front-and-rear HVAC, production revision, and previous vehicle modifications. Always verify the original vehicle label and applicable service information before charging the system.

Understanding the 2005 First- and Second-Design Labels

GM used two A/C-label designs during the 2005 model year:

A 2005 vehicle should use this reproduction only when the original label shows 10388864 or the complete 2.8 / 2.5 / 1.6 / 1.6 lb table matches.

Do not replace a surviving 15206697 first-design label with this version solely because both numbers appear in 2005 parts catalogs.

What the Label Includes

• “R-134a Refrigerant Under High Pressure” safety heading
• English and French caution and notice panels
• Service-by-qualified-personnel warning
• Service-manual and diagnostic-procedure reminder
• Airbag or supplemental-inflatable-restraint service notice
• R-134a refrigerant and PAG-oil wording
• Updated four-row refrigerant charge table
• Diesel-engine starting-fluid and glow-plug-system warning

Primary 2005–2006 Application Reference

Selected 2007 Classic Pickup Applications

GM service catalogs also associate reference 10388864 with selected 2007 Chevrolet Silverado Classic and GMC Sierra Classic applications.

This does not include the redesigned 2007 GMT900 trucks. A 2007 pickup should order this reproduction only when it is specifically a GMT800 Classic model and the original part number and complete artwork match.

Trim-to-Fit Construction

The label is intentionally printed on an oversized sheet. The white keyline defines the intended finished edge and provides room for a clean final cut.

Complete all trimming while the adhesive backing remains attached. Use sharp scissors or a precision craft knife, a metal straightedge, and a protected cutting surface.

Installation

1. Compare the reproduction with the original part number, artwork, and charge table.
2. Confirm the original mounting location.
3. Test-fit the label while the backing remains attached.
4. Trim carefully along the white keyline.
5. Remove the damaged original label and as much remaining adhesive as practical.
6. Clean the mounting surface with a residue-free cleaner suitable for plastic or painted metal.
7. Remove grease, wax, silicone dressing, dirt, and loose material.
8. Allow the surface to dry completely and cool before application.
9. Peel back a small portion of the liner and align one edge.
10. Apply gradually from one side to the other while pressing outward to reduce trapped air.
11. Press firmly across the complete label, especially around its edges.
12. Allow approximately 24 hours for the adhesive to set before washing or exposing it to cleaners or solvents.

Do not install over heavy texture, grease, loose paint, or a hot engine component. Gentle warming may improve adhesion in cool conditions, but excessive heat can distort the vinyl.

Care

Clean the installed label with a soft cloth and a mild cleaner suitable for vinyl. Wipe gently from the center toward the edges. Avoid abrasive pads, aggressive solvents, and high-pressure spray directed at the trimmed edges.

Shipping

Free shipping is included to all 50 U.S. states

Most products ship within approximately 2–5 business days. Typical delivery is approximately 6–13 days from order placement, depending on production time, carrier, and destination. Tracking information is provided when available.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 10388864 the correct reference for this label?

Yes. GM reference 10388864 identifies the second-design label with the 2.8-lb Suburban and 2.5-lb utility front-and-rear A/C figures.

Does this fit every 2005 GMT800?

No. Some 2005 vehicles use the earlier 15206697 first-design label. Compare the original reference number and charge table before ordering.

What is the difference between 10388864 and 15206697?

For the 2005 model year, 15206697 is cataloged as the first design with 3.0-lb Suburban and 2.7-lb utility figures. Reference 10388864 is the second design with revised 2.8-lb and 2.5-lb figures.

Does this fit a 2006 GMT800?

It is catalog-supported for matching 2006 GMT800 trucks and SUVs, but the complete original artwork and HVAC configuration should still be verified.

Does this fit a 2007 Silverado or Sierra?

It may fit selected 2007 Classic GMT800 pickups. It is not intended for the redesigned 2007 GMT900 trucks unless the original part number and complete artwork independently match.

Does the label include PAG-oil information?

Yes. This design includes the instruction to use R-134a refrigerant and PAG oil according to the listed specifications.

Does it cover front and rear A/C?

Yes. The table includes front-only and front-and-rear A/C applications. Verify the correct row for the vehicle.

Does it fit diesel trucks?

The artwork includes the diesel-engine glow-plug and starting-fluid warning. Exact fitment still requires the original 10388864 label and matching refrigerant-charge information.

Is this a genuine General Motors label?

No. This is a newly manufactured aftermarket reproduction made for GMT Central. It is not a genuine GM, New Old Stock, or licensed General Motors part.

Is the label pre-cut?

No. It is printed oversized with a white trim keyline and must be trimmed before installation.

Can I rely on this label as the only source when charging the A/C system?

No. This reproduction is intended for restoration and convenient reference. Confirm the refrigerant type and charge using vehicle-specific service information before servicing the system.
