Replacing A/C Pressure Switches And Why I'm Okay With Using The Parts Cannon | 1994 Chevy K1500
In this video, I replace some cheap and easy air conditioning pressure switches on my OBS Chevy Truck in an attempt to fix my A/C without opening up the system. I also dive into a hot take that I have about throwing parts at a problem, and why I advocate loading things like this into the parts cannon and firing away!

Replacing The Tensioner Pulley And Serpentine Belt | 1994 Chevy K1500

In this video, I show how I change out the drive belt and tensioner pulley on my '94 Chevy GMT400 K1500 Silverado. I show some of the issues that led me to the hypothesis that my belt may not be getting enough tension, and I also show how I inspect the belt and verify that the new belt is correct, as this can be pretty confusing at times, even for those of us who are familiar with automotive pa...
Checking And Filling R134a A/C Refrigerant
Просмотров 332Месяц назад
In this video, I show how I check the air conditioning refrigerant pressure levels and I use an A/C manifold gauge set to top off the R134a refrigerant on my truck. I would recommend using a manifold gauge set that has both a high and a low side pressure gauge for proper diagnostics and adding refrigerant, but you can also get cans of R134a that connect to just the low side port and have a low ...

How To Test And Charge A Side Post Battery
Просмотров 88Месяц назад
In this video, I diagnose a low voltage issue on my OBS Chevy truck by testing the battery. Turns out I have a bad battery, even after charging it. I used new battery terminal posts to properly test and charge the battery, and I used a multimeter (voltmeter) to verify the results of the battery tester. The biggest issue I found is the State Of Health (SOH) is showing 8% even after charging the ...

If the power circuit probe doesn’t get the seat to move does it mean the motor is the problem?
Yes, that means the motor is bad. Make sure you have everything connected properly, but if you supply power correctly with the probe and it still doesn't move, then the motor is bad for sure. I'd suggest trying the same method on one of the other motors down there so you know for sure you are connecting it properly.
Great video! Very good information!
Just trying to encourage people who don't know everything about how to fix it all...myself included 😆🛠️
Can you separate the compressor clutch and possibly replace it without opening the system?
You can, but mine is working. I think the problem must be something internally wrong with the compressor. Usually they leak or the clutch goes out, and mine's not doing either of those. It is 30 years old though.
Good idea!
@megs4898 @macdaddykwm1 I've thought about it more, and I really shouldn't rule out the clutch. It would be another part to try that doesn't require opening the system AND could possibly be the cause of the problem, however unlikely that may be. Unfortunately, it looks like this particular compressor may not have a removable clutch, at least my search so far for just the clutch has only yielded replacement compressors. I have found one clutch for $100 on RockAuto, but that price doesn't make good fodder for the ol' parts cannon. The saga continues...
nice idea
Thank you!
Wrong information
What is wrong?
Alternatively, you can slap a few neodimium magnets on the outside of your ratchet or pliers. Works to hold the nut while you're putting it on too.
I tried that, didn't include it in the full video because it didn't help me much at this angle, but a good tip nonetheless!
Take door panel.off.....don't be a hack
I did both. I ended up taking the door panel off the first time. The second I figured this way out and it worked too.
Is it running good?
Sure is. Seems like it's got a lot of life left in it. I fixed an oil leak a while back by changing the valve cover gasket
@@benwrenchin that's insane God bless you
Check out the full video linked at the bottom!
Just don’t use hose clamps made of shitmetal.
Close call
Those spring clamps are junk most of the time the engine heat affects them and they get loose and leak, If you are a smart person you check your clamps once a month or anytime you check fluid levels. Old clamps can be replaced easily if they are the screw kind. Without removing the hoses in most cases. Saving time and labor time. If leaking many times you just tighten the clamp up. That clamp in the video was probably 10 years old or reused from another job. I will admit some cheap clamp out of chrome kits needed to be thrown in the trash and buy good ones. They are total junk they break when you try to tighten them up around the screw part that feeds the clamp through.
Agree. They are the wrong style clamp for this application.
Dope!
The dopest
I have a 97 when I'm driving the voltage randomly drops and my speakers cut out it also does the same thing as yours
I just replaced my alternator and it fixed this. ruclips.net/video/umTvyUQOBto/видео.htmlsi=_A28rVdDJxqUb1rS
Solid video Ben. I'll be doing mine this summer. Got an 04 Infiniti FX35 that is a garage queen. Only 75k miles.
Nice! Mine is an '08 and is approaching 200k miles but it's been great as far as maintenance. Let me know if you find anything with it that you need me to make a video on.
iv got socets on top qnd bottom
All my sets just have sockets on the bottom, nothing on the top but the insulation
Instructions unclear i sprayed adhesive on my tools because they are on both sides
Haha do those ones come with foam to put in between? I don't have any sets big enough to have em on both sides
Works great until you've got stuff in the top and bottom of the case lol
Be careful it depends on what kind of foam it is because sometimes the spray adhesive can corrode and damage the foam along with every other, ‘super glue’
Always clean your oil pan. It prevents oil drips and keeps all the dust and blow debris off of it.
Those sets are brand new. You havent lost the 10s or 8s yet.
You can buy single 10mm sockets. I have extras, and none of them match the sets haha
I always throw those out
I like em, they keep everything in place with it closed and being thrown around. I just can't stand when you open it and it blows away.
So fast!
I've done a few alternators in my day. And by a few, I mean an actual few hahahaha
First thing when I opened the app!
Sorry I don’t work on ancient machines, I have new truck so I don’t have to worry about such atrocities
I'd bet money yours has a low pressure switch too my guy. A/C is pretty much the same now as it was back then. Bet yours is more than $18 though 😆
@@benwrenchin Bruh my truck doesn’t even have a receiver drier canister. It goes directly from evaporator to condenser. Like bruh less parts to break
@@thesunflowchannel1995 It's probably got something to absorb moisture in the system and something to stop the compressor from running if the pressures are off. Your system is probably way more similar to mine than you would think.
@@benwrenchin Yeah it’s big plastic filter thing inside the condenser. Drier filter I believe it’s called. Serves the same purpose. With that logic arguing all combustion engines are the same because they convert “fossil” fuels into kinetic energy would seem reasonable.
@@thesunflowchannel1995 Right, except you started out by acting like your system is so new that it doesn't have an accumulator and/or a pressure switch. I was just saying that A/C systems are still pretty much the same as they were back then. Engines, on the other hand, are another story. I'm sure you probably don't have throttle body injection haha 🤣
There’s a 50 amp fuse in the engine bay for the seat. In my case, the 2 power cable under the carpet were corroded and broken
Do you know which fuse it is? Accurate fuse box diagrams on this car are hard to find
Please everyone go do this. And when your AC still doesn’t work I can then show you the difference between influencer mechanics and real mechanics.
One difference is I can say an $18 part is $18 and I don't call 5 minutes of work an hour of labor.
ouch 🔥🔥@@benwrenchin
@@benwrenchin neither does a real mechanic. That part prob called for 0.3 and the times a real mechanic would charge is set by the manufacturers. Heck half the time I tell my writers to charge less than book time on many jobs because I know they won’t take near as long as book quotes.
It maybe an $18 part but what about diagnosing the issue with the system plus the evacuate and recharge of the refrigerant a caption like this is one click bait
You don't have to evacuate the system or recharge the refrigerant to do this.
L Music
L?
How did you know the pressure switch was the problem?
Great question! I didn't. With A/C issues, changing parts almost always involves opening the system. Since my pressures are pretty good and my compressor is working, I'm starting with the cheapest parts that don't require evacuating the system. It's a '94, so it doesn't hurt to replace these switches anyway.
Take care of that truck and it will take care of you

Hi Ben, when you do the cleaning of the motor, for how long will the trunk work until you have to clean it again? Thanks!
The first time I did it was years ago. It lasted for months. Then I did it again and it lasted for months again. At some point it just quit working like it used to so I just bought a new motor, but I did that for years every few months. I would also try just disconnecting the battery first and reconnecting it, and that worked some of the time but also quit doing anything after some time.
@@benwrenchin Got it, thank you!
I don't know you. You don't know me. But you might have just gotten me a date. Just by fixing your truck.
Nice! I don't know what the story is there, but I'd love to hear it if you're willing to share, friend
Curious……why did you change the drive shaft? Why didn’t you just change your u-joint?
20:51 Basically, the tang where the snap ring holds the u joint in place was bent so bad that I couldn't get a new snap ring to sit in the groove properly.
31:32 I explain again here why I had to get a new one. Mine was toast after I tried to get the old u joint out.
Important: If you switch the module it will need coding
Good to know, thank you!

maybe ill try this again tru tech tools for the blu vac mini.but watch tom lech and love2hvac first for the info how they work and where to place them
Nice thanks, I'm interested in measuring the moisture in the system.
it amazes me when someone comments and puts truth and fact in the comments, they seem to disappear . some will except their failures and try to overcome them, some will never
Not sure what you mean...?
@@benwrenchin i have left some comments but they disappeared, was just wondering what happened, but at least u got the one on where to to get it. but please check out tom lech and hvac school, love2hvac ty is good.thats where i learned how to do ac the right way,hope this helps
techs in this industry is way under trained. their is so much more to no. get u a micron gauge , u will be amazed how much moisture u will leave in that system just doing a 45min to hr vacuum pull. i had to leave my last ac job on the vacuum pump overnight to get to 242 microns with a 30 min decay only rose to 275. now thats a dry ac system. moisture is our enemy. i use a one hose method for vacuum with micron gauge and trublu vacuum hose
Where can you get a micron gauge that connects to a manifold gauge hose?
@@benwrenchin trutech tools. i use the bluvac mini. i have measure quick app on i pad so i can graph whats going on and be working in my shop and just glance over and watch the progress. But u dont have to or get all my setup. I have all this stuff cause i do a lot of ac work and can keep records for my customers. i have a lot of wireless probes. but if you watch love2hvac and tom lech that is where to start.i dont recomend buying anything until u watch them then u will no what those measuring instruments are for and where to place them.but the micron gauge is best to start with.after watching them hit me up on what you think
@@benwrenchin tried several times and replied, but it seems to be missing when i look back.tuetech tools great source. but watch tom lech and love2hvac before u buy and then u will no how to use it and understand where u attach it.they no what their doing. maybe you will get this reply dont no why it goes missing. hope it helps
Thanks Ben! Luckily just reconnecting negative worked for me 😊
Nice! If that ever stops working, try cleaning the motor and that should help for a while.
Put coke on it my dad taught me that cuzz his big f250 older model gets that on the bats The coke has acid to which takes out the corrosion
I didn't want a sticky battery, and I feel like water does just fine
Just putting out there
Or kick it old school and use coca cola....
Water works just as well and you don't end up with a sticky mess
Coke works really good that what we use
Works for me all the time.
I had heard straight water would do the trick, and it did not disappoint
Baking soda
Would be better, just wanted to show that straight water works fine
@@benwrenchin I saw someone doing the same, didn't know about this, always used baking soda, got good results
