Dude...great video. I have a 2007 Chevy 14 passenger bus and all of a sudden AC quit. Have been working on it (not a mechanic at all) for a week. This video helps!
Love the video man, finally someone that does not just rip their AC unit out. Keep em coming
Thanks man ,this video is going to help me a lot i just bought a 07 school buss that the rear ac won't work 👊
This is great, I got a bus and I’m also looking to maintain the A/C that came with it. This was a huge help. Idk why people get rid of these.
Thanks for posting this. Very little info out there on these systems. Good presentation as well. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanx for the video, I have a Carrier also and wanted to keep it 👍
Gotta love good customer service.
Thanks for the video
This van build really fills the lack of Scout-build videos.
Thanks
I deleted my skirt condenser. I had to find a condenser coil at the junkyard and all the hoses to get dash ac. The mini split inverter system is really efficient. It only pulls 200 watts once the space is chilled 600 watts max. Spray foam insulation is key. Now i have ac while parked running completely off solar.
Thats why school bus companies stopped fixing the units. Manufacturer dominance in service and pricing.
Cool vid😀 Good info to know. It seems like you're to small a fish to fry for those A/C guys since they're used to getting orders for a fleet of vehicles which sucks.
But they'd have to service some of those so you'd think they'd be able to sell a single replacement unit like you're asking for. Weird.
Glad you're not going 2x4 construction, just not ideal in vehicles with all the movement.
Great series👍
With this system, the vehicle must be running for the AC to work correct?
Yes
it's called a "coach relay" I work on those every day
I have a 1996 ford e450 shuttle bus ac on dash and ac in back. My question is how many pounds do I fill it and also is there 2 separate fill spots for front and rear ac for the Freon. ?
We convert to 110 cause when the vehicle is off we have no a/c and unless your off grid there is power everywhere
Yeah I don't know why people are not keeping the rear ac, I'm trying to figure out how to recharge mine.
Great information. Thank you. On mine it has a knob that is on the passenger side of the rear a/c unit. Can you tell me what that is for?
I have a ford 2012 ford f550 changed the ac compressor but now the none of the fans are on . Any ideas what to do they were working before I changed the compressor
Great info. Thanks
Our existing unit works great plan to keep it but I wish there was a way to run it with the rig off.
Me too
Excellent video. I am wondering though. Do both the back AC and the front AC systems run off of the same compressor, or do they each have their own attached to the engine?
same compressor on the motor
My bus has the same set up by MCC. When I power in AC it kicks on for one second then shuts off. I’ve had it filled. Any idea what might be causing this? Any first steps I can take. Two shops haven’t been able to diagnose it
Are you able to get cooling w/o running the gas engine? My 2016 e450 transit has two batteries under the middle lower chassis. that powers everything. I can run the ac and the evaporator under the driver seat but it only blows cool till I run the engine and it runs ICE cold instantaneously. Do you know of a way to get it to blow that cold w/o running the 10 cyl gallons per mile engine?
What is that connected to your capacitor
I have a carrier system in mine and for some reason the heater heats up when i use the ac. Any thought?
Is there 2 ac compressors or just one for both front and rear. I hace some cold coming out the front ac but the rear nothing
where did they splice the rear air conditioning system to the existIng?
We just got an 03 E450 shuttle bus with 7.3 turbo diesel. The front A/C works (although it only blows out the defroster), but the rear only blows hot air. I’m guessing it’s something electrical that’s not letting the Freon get to the rear unit. A valve or something maybe?
Check the vacuum line under the passenger kick panel follow it through the firewall to the engine bay.
What’s the part or model number for the fans on the bus website?, I can’t find them on there
I have a 2001 Chevy G3500 shuttle that I've been converting into a tiny house. I kept my A/C but have no idea where to begin to get it working. I can hear it running but no cold air is coming out, any ideas what could be the issue? The front A/C kicks on but the air isn't cold either, the seller charged it and said he put in freon but it still isn't cooling. .
I have a shuttle bus with a carrier unit on the inside. I just want to cap the line under the bus where the two fans are located in case I decide to get another unit in the future. I have no idea how to do this could you give me some advice. At this point I have the ac down and all the wires disconnected .
not sure, can you just loop one line back into itself?
hey i got a question i have yet to dig in to my unit yet i just finished my floor one step at a time but on my unit it is driping what almost looks like antifreeze seems thicker tho and it looks like it comes from some sort of over flow tube that runs down the back wall and dips out the bottom of the bus it dosent drip alot i got while floors so i noticed it any idea of whats going on?
Does it only drip when it's running. Not sure why it would be thick
@@WanderingBeast i dont run it its like 2 drops a week its not a big ammount its green so its easy to see on white
@@ZX7RPANDA that's strange. Not sure
@@WanderingBeast all good thank you for responding
Hi I have a startrans unit it keeps cutting off and cutting off all inside power off..plus lift..the goes back on..help please
1.5 to fill? They need a new machine
Is this what's called a mini split system?
yes, however the term is used on alot of house hold versions as well
What is your favorite vehicle battery?
Right now, odyssey.
How long have you had it I
And is that what you have in the scout?
@@jmh7884 almost 2 years I think, I have a napa glass mat in the scout, only because I need it quick and my local odyssey guy had it at a week out.
Hey good vid! I have been working on a Carrier bus ac system 5lb. system was low . Filled her up and compressor is working fans all work fine but at evaporator there is cool and warm air blower through the vent !!! At edges you can feel the cold air but move over an inch or two and there's hot air !! Any ideas on what's going on here?? Sounded like yours is very close to this one. It is an 06' international bus
I had to replace my low pressure switch, but Im not sure
I didn’t actually hear what was going on with yours. Was it the same symptoms?
Never mind! Lol
Is not the company's is not available parts . All the dealers short on parts
Live a number for contact you will trye to help you
The reason rip them out and replace with mini-splits is because when your parked and sleeping unless your motor is running 24/7 you have no ac....that doesn't work for me
That's fare. Mini splits have gotten much more efficient last few years
I have one of these the fans are staying on all the time I can’t find a diagram any idea thank you
Not sure sorry, these buses are all different
