This happened on my civic one time, cut the belt off and limped it home. Unfortunately most car's don't put the water pump on the timing belt\chain so it takes ages to get anywhere without the belt on. On vehicles where the pump is on the timing chain\belt you can drive till your battery runs flat
Dude, I had an 89 Chevy K1500 305 5 speed. One day I was heading down the highway and it seemed like I lost a ton of power and my air got warm. I pulled over and saw that the AC compressor and clutch was locked up but the belt was still going around it. Called my buddy with a tow truck and told him to be prepared to tow me home because I was going to try to make it the next 20 miles like that; but shockingly the belt didn't snap and I made it home lol
Thanks for yet another informative video. Your recommendation for the cordless ratchet came right on time. I was just about to buy the same one you show here.
I had purchased a truck that would not start and could not turn the engine over by hand. I investigated and took off the serpentine belt and tried to turn the idler pulley's and they all turned. then I tried to turn the A/C pulley and it was seized up. was able to turn the engine by hand once the serpentine belt was removed. when I seen this video I laughed because it is an unusual issue.
Ride on ! I know the compressor came from yard. As far as reman compressor I was surprised the companies were adding pag! Take care and thank you for the reply!!!
4:30 i had one of those dowels on a 18 year old bmw in the rust belt. that alternator didnt wanna go anywhere. original alternator to and had to pour every kinda spray i had on it. also had no room to swing a hammer. took over an hour to get it beaten off.
I would pickup a belt that would run the engine and by-pass the A/C unit just in case that Junk Yard part goes out and have the tools to put it on so I could continue down the road.
Did you call the imperial measurement Garbage?? That measurement is responsible for everything you own including your life including everything in the United States that’s what you call Garbage??
I'm saying "that's right" to what you say about the role of the imperial system, but were it not used and spread as it were by the two imperial nation giants of the last two centuries it would have become extinct decades ago. There's an obvious reason why it's still used in the US and UK- in the words of Cartman of South Park, "I do what I want!" That doesn't make it ideal. The adequate level of response is "you suck!", or "garbage" when the argument is against familiarity and ego- not reason. Reasoning that the imperial system had no merit in history is indefensible. You're absolutely right. Saying it's the best system available today is also indefensible.
briansmobile1,, yes people hate change most of the time change is a mistake and you go back to the original.. or best practice it’s funny you mention candles because once the power is out for a long period of time everybody goes back to using the candles because it works.. the imperial measurement is far more precise than any metric system and is used in every machine shop all over the world!! The metric system is very easy to use and very easy to understand designed for less complex thoughts and individuals to promote such a generic form of measurement is a mistake that NASA has paid for many many many time and cost lives and a Un-told amount of money.. Change can be good but changing something that works precisely is a mistake.. you will see in the next 20 years the mistake that you are pushing and just maybe maybe you will learn from it?.. NASA didn’t. 🤔🤔🤔🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪 I will be no party to your own American way of thinking I will unsubscribe from your channel and will promote others to do so. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@GCraigmile If your nose offends your face- cut it off. However, if you think the metric system is less precise, consult any scientist or science teacher you have access to or review what you know about the most accurate scientific measuring devices currently available and get back to me with what you find. I'm not saying machine shops are wrong to keep using equipment their heavily invested and trained in- but I am saying the metric system is every bit as precise and far easier to train in & use without user error. If you wish someone else ill will or less success for disagreeing with you, that only costs you happiness and credibility not them. It also reveals the same ego motive I was talking about. That behavior doesn't serve you or your success. It only serves as a stumbling block when your path differs from a better one. The NASA example cited above is used the world over as an example of folly of the US NOT using the metric system. The same story can be viewed from 2 sides, most everyone else including those at NASA use those same examples to push for using the metric system. However, companies they work with don't use it.

briansmobile1 well said Brian. Thank you for all your videos and God bless you and God bless America!!! “🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸” (even though the imperial system does sucks)💥🤜🎤
how about a 06 impreza that overheats "sometimes". coolant will fill up the overflow tank sometimes halfway or other times just straight up overfills it. just had the timing and water pump done not 25k miles ago, thermostat less then a month. only other thing i can think it'd be is the A/C when it died about 2 months ago. I could take it to a shop but nobody touches my car except me, its a trust issue that i can't help.
I got it for the metal knobs. It's not available anymore & for good reason- no sight glass. This is the same one-- hard to find, but with the new sight glass in it → amzn.to/2LGBLGG
I think I said 2 oz. That's reasonable given the whole system takes around 8 oz. The balance is roughly 4 oz oil per .3 kgs refrigerant. The condenser and evaporator hold about 5oz together and there should be about an ounce in the lines. This is a guessing game, but the junk yard compressor was drained by inverting it before we got it. It may have needed between 1- 3 oz depending on evaporation and spilling. The old compressor drained about 1.7 oz. so we went with 2 total. Roughly 0.6 in the suction side of the compressor to protect it during charging and 1.4 in the discharge line to make the remainder fit into the system without making a mess.
In my experience the pulley and clutch are pressed onto the compressor shaft and would be difficult to pull off without the whole compressor removed anyway. And as I recall, it's also difficult to even find just a clutch assembly. They probably got this used compressor for around $100.
The pulley/rotor and clutch come right off the front of the compressor with a simple gear puller without needing to evacuate the system or unbolting the compressor. It's an easy job and costs much less than replacing the entire compressor.
In this case replacing the compressor was cheaper and faster by no less than $75 three days or more if the compressor was still good. No one local had just the clutch except in California and the compressor was also bad anyway.
It's the climate. Heat from climate and engine temperatures cause the battery to off gas . The gasses are caustic and corrode the terminals. We also use chemical means to combat ice on the roads. Those chemicals rust everything too.
As he mentioned, the scale turns off after a while, resetting itself in the process. You would not know how much you filled if you used your method and it turned off during filling.

Incredible
The big 305 had enough power to slip it
I always enjoy your commentary Brian. Lots of wisdom on your part. I liked the interview too.
Thanks Wyatt!
That says more about you and your experience and smarts than it does about mine.
Brian You have the best diy vids on YT. Short and full of hints. You going up in the air this summer
Thank you very much! I flew last night. Had some STOL favorable winds and did a bunch of off airport take off and landings.
That sound at the beginning could have been from a sci-fi movie.
At least it wasn’t a bad engine.

Thanks so much- and you're welcome.
Comments like this help keep me going!
Not worried about metal flakes in the rest of the ac system?
Always, but the transmission went out before the AC did. So my worry was misplaced and the customer was right on this one.
I had purchased a truck that would not start and could not turn the engine over by hand. I investigated and took off the serpentine belt and tried to turn the idler pulley's and they all turned. then I tried to turn the A/C pulley and it was seized up. was able to turn the engine by hand once the serpentine belt was removed. when I seen this video I laughed because it is an unusual issue.
@@shawnmcnutt1902 when I saw this video.
Great video Brian!
1 reason I loved "V" belts , cut and run , many times on those R4's
So very true!
"In metric system or garbage units." Hahaha :)
Thanks for great videos Brian!! FYI SOME REMAIN COMPRESSORS COME WITH PAG PRE ADDED FROM FACTORY NOW😳!
I'm glad for many people's sake they do. This was obviously a used compressor from the junk yard.
Ride on ! I know the compressor came from yard. As far as reman compressor I was surprised the companies were adding pag! Take care and thank you for the reply!!!

Thanks Antonio!
Thanks!
That’s just a wonderful sound
EXCELENTE INFORMACION QUERIDOS AMIGOS...... THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
Muchas gracias amigo!
wow 1st i've seen that... ty for sharing
Great video Brian
What type of oil do you put in the new compressor and which hole is it to put in ? Low side or high side ?
Nice video, very informative!
Thanks Bri!
Excellent job too bad more people cannot be like you thor efficient and good.
Thank you Keith.
Thank you… been trying to figure out what’s wrong with my truck for months
I would pickup a belt that would run the engine and by-pass the A/C unit just in case that Junk Yard part goes out and have the tools to put it on so I could continue down the road.
I like the way you think.
Where are you guys located at? Lol this just happened to my 2009 Honda CR-V and needed fix and it's so hard to find good mechanics now days!
Utah just South of Salt Lake City.
"sounds better" Whatever you say LOL
I'll upvote this just for the awful sound in the beginning. Maybe I'll even replace my cut off hockey stick with an Ibis.
Have seen this on BMWs. Engine runs fine until you turn the AC on and then it just cuts the engine off entirely.
How did u fix?
OH Hi from Michigan

Just would like to know as a 25+ year heavy fleet mechanic and my hearing is not as good as it was..
lol. I'd say "I hear ya" , but i had to listen to that about 15 times during the editing process.
This is what happened to one of our buses and we thought it was the servo pump
A junkyard compressor for the AC? It's not going to cool for very long. You'll have a leak in under 6 weeks
5:15 how much oil to you put it?
I think I said 2 oz. That's reasonable given the whole system takes around 8 oz. The balance is roughly 4 oz oil per .3 kgs refrigerant. The condenser and evaporator hold about 5oz together and there should be about an ounce in the lines. This is a guessing game, but the junk yard compressor was drained by inverting it before we got it. It may have needed between 1- 3 oz depending on evaporation and spilling.

My car engine suddenly stops working when i turn on my air conditioner. Does anyone have any idea how to fix it?
I have the same problem. Engine stop working.
Couldn't you just have replaced the AC compressor rotor and clutch assembly without actually physically changing the entire compressor out?
In my experience the pulley and clutch are pressed onto the compressor shaft and would be difficult to pull off without the whole compressor removed anyway.
And as I recall, it's also difficult to even find just a clutch assembly. They probably got this used compressor for around $100.
The pulley/rotor and clutch come right off the front of the compressor with a simple gear puller without needing to evacuate the system or unbolting the compressor. It's an easy job and costs much less than replacing the entire compressor.
In this case replacing the compressor was cheaper and faster by no less than $75 three days or more if the compressor was still good. No one local had just the clutch except in California and the compressor was also bad anyway.
What i was taught is it isn't worth it to do that anymore.
Problem is he bought a jeep liberty!
Yes. These vehicles start showing problems very early. Good old FCA.
Christopher Hendricks Early? it’s a 2005.....
That ac compressor is fu**ed
I’m pretty sure this is what is wrong with my car. Bad ac compressor. Overheats when driving for an hour
Same
Why do american cars always have rusted battery terminals, I drive 22 years old bmw, and terminals looks as good as new.
We buy them with the rust pre-applied.
It's the climate. Heat from climate and engine temperatures cause the battery to off gas . The gasses are caustic and corrode the terminals. We also use chemical means to combat ice on the roads. Those chemicals rust everything too.
If you Tare the cylinder it would be easier to know how much you have put in.
As he mentioned, the scale turns off after a while, resetting itself in the process. You would not know how much you filled if you used your method and it turned off during filling.
