There are separate expansion valves in the rear, so even if the front system is failing, the rear unit could still work normally.
Possible blockage in the rear air units expansion valve. I just replaced mine for the same reason.
I have the same problem in a 1999 K2500 with the LT package. Any ideas?
Most likely the rear expansion tube or valve is defective.
It is possible that the rear A/C lines have been cut and sealed so the freon stays in the front but does not go to the rear A/C. That is the case on my SububanAnswerThe suburban may have a heater core in the rear blower that is not shutting off. AC cannot blow hot, there is a coil for the AC and a separate coil for the heater. A simple fix is to have a shut off valve fitted under the hood to turn off the hot line to the front and rear blowers.
replace front heater corefront and rear have independent heater cores
If 1993 suburban rear ac not cold how can check the expansion valve?
Try replacing your rear themostatic expansion valve. If it is plugged, refrigerant won't flow to the rear evaporator.
Most likely this is the "Fresh Air Intake" door malfunctioning; rear AC's normally do not have the ability to draw fresh air, and normal AC system have fresh air intake that draws hot air from outside.
It is Low on Freon. I have a Tahoe that does the excat thing when my freon gets low..the back will be freezing cold and the front not.

think about it they have independent control thus they have separate cooling systems
The control for the heat on the dash has a control for the back seat and also has a setting that says something like "Rear Control". This allows the passengers in the back seat to control their heat independently via a temperature control in the back seat (on the back of the center console). So you could have the heat on in the front and the rear on "rear control" and if the passenger in the back has set their control to cold, it wold blow cold air in the back even though you have the heat on in the front.
