Nor-Cal Refrigeration- True and Structural Concept always stands behind their products hence helping customers & service providers. Thanks for the great video!
Nice job it nice see the manufacture stand behind their product helping the customer and the service they provide of giving out the whole condenser it is probably cheaper for them in the long. It make your job easy of installing the whole unit.In these days everything is throwaway.
Great tip on the tags! Just spent $35k on a new van, old one had 140k mile on it and was getting expensive to keep on the road. Do you have to send the old compressor back for warranty? Great work as usual!
I often have suction pressure below 10# myself after charging to factory specs even after changing cap tubes to exact OEM. I sometimes 2nd guess myself and want to add a few more ounces; and I often have in the past only to see the head pressure rise too fast. Thanks for reassuring me to stick to the factory specs.
marlon travis I just talked to tech support they told me a 12 degree evap which is 14psig and 105 degree condensing which is 135 Psig is normal for that keg cooler. R134A
Thanks for the feedback. I've watched every video in your subscription. I'm a huge fan of your work, awesome soundtracks, and above all The Vangina:-) Keep up the good work. There're a few good HVACR channels out there, but I personally think you're the best in my humble opinion. Thanks for sharing.
Ride it till the wheels fall off lol!! Awesome videos bro! quick question what would be better, an exhaust fan or air intake for two condensers that cook in the summer? units are on top of walk in boxes.
it seems like the low side pressure is low even though you weighed it in because of the high side gauge being on the system...a 5 or 6 ft hose will hold 2 oz of gas plus your low side hose holds another 2 oz...i notice the low side pressure goes up when you purge out the high side gauge and get the full charge in. Yellow Jacket sent me a chart with how much refrigerant a 5 ft and 6 ft hose holds...it varies depending on which refrigerant and ambient temp.
WAGO connectors are pretty much standard everywhere in the EU for the last decade. Nice to see the US has discovered them. :D Europeans hate wirenuts :)
hey dave im a commercial refrigeration apprentice. Im looking to go digital ( probes, guages) what brand would you reccomend for me ? I know you have tried a number of them. cheers
Jacob Nesbit that’s a good question because now there are so many choices. I honestly don’t know on the gauges. I have the sman and the Testo 550, the 550 are great for the price. I have not tried the new yellow jacket digital yet. The probes if you can afford them the iconnect is the best. The Fieldpiece probes now can be used with measureQuick looks good.
Yo Dave I'll give you $450 for the vangina and lll throw in a chorizo con huevos , deal? jk.. bud great repair how long did you have to wait for the unit to come down to temp ?I remember I had an issue with a Coldtech 2 door freezer , I charged it by scale my suction pressure was low , I added some more and booom... head pressure started rising, so I remove the charge, charged it by scale again, and I had about 20psig suction, and 245psig discharge 😁 bad ass!
Windows on the truck? Break in waiting to happen. Hope the best for you. Our trucks get broken in all the time and they have puck locks on them with no windows.
you stole the vangina! another year or two, thats how i thought about my 95 e150 endup keeping it for seven more years. Keep the vangina till she dies!
Something i do to Avoid the liquid in the hose scenario. i only Guage up on Hot Gas Side of the units. i install my access valves on the hot gas side never liquid side. same pressure just a gaseous state rather than the Liquid state which is Huge. because the units we work on have such small charges it makes a HUGE difference. NO Liquid in my hose ever only hot gas which's affect is miniscule. once u Weigh in the charge it turns to gas. weigh in the Liquid charge in on the hot gas line where it enters the condenser. i just weld in an access tee there. when guaging up much less affect on small systems.
Yea, True is Awesome about thier warrantys. thats a good point u Bring up about the Cheapo Korean or chinese units out there. i have not had any warranty dealing with them yet. i think it's only a one year warranty if that. Have u had any dealing with the cheapo units under warranty and whats the Scoop ?

NoCompete Services there good products.
Nice job it nice see the manufacture stand behind their product helping the customer and the service they provide of giving out the whole condenser it is probably cheaper for them in the long. It make your job easy of installing the whole unit.In these days everything is throwaway.
Dave thanks for your quick response
awesome!! nice change and the replacement unit look better built!!
You are so right about True. I harvest the start components blade and motor because you never know.
Thank you very much really nice video,instructive
Another great job Dave
Harry Dickson thanks Harry
$425 boo yeah! Looked like Jon HVAC put in that compressor ;) The Mr. 45fiveee. True is the most bestest.
Enjoyed Mr. Dave.
Nice work again and again and again,,,,,etc,,,,,,
Dave where did you get those hoses for that Testo 550? Nice job. Great score on that van
Damn that's a great deal on that van. Those testos look new. I just cleaned mine today and put fresh gaskets in my hoses.
Ulises Palacios the bag keeps the testos clean ya the van was a deal.
Nice hoses man where did you get them
Iam the same way.....OCD you just have a certain way that you have adapted to over the years......
hi sir what size filter drier do u have on ur recovery machine thank you
True has an amazing tech support also.
Nice quick change-out. True does have few good points, hate their leaker/coils.
Great tip on the tags!
Just spent $35k on a new van, old one had 140k mile on it and was getting expensive to keep on the road.
Do you have to send the old compressor back for warranty?
Great work as usual!
heavydiesel no just a picture of the lable.
Nor-Cal Refrigeration & H.V.A.C do you have any old refrigerator condensing units i could have for a project
I often have suction pressure below 10# myself after charging to factory specs even after changing cap tubes to exact OEM.

marlon travis good to hear. I need to call true and get the design evap temp
marlon travis I just talked to tech support they told me a 12 degree evap which is 14psig and 105 degree condensing which is 135 Psig is normal for that keg cooler. R134A

I get impatient charging them to...gotta let the condenser heat up!
i will second that.
Ride it till the wheels fall off lol!! Awesome videos bro! quick question what would be better, an exhaust fan or air intake for two condensers that cook in the summer? units are on top of walk in boxes.
A&J Heating you need both. In and out.
Nice!
have you done one with r290 yet
first comment? good job as you always do!
it seems like the low side pressure is low even though you weighed it in because of the high side gauge being on the system...a 5 or 6 ft hose will hold 2 oz of gas plus your low side hose holds another 2 oz...i notice the low side pressure goes up when you purge out the high side gauge and get the full charge in.

kingofthecrease30 it did go up to 12 after purging the hoses. And it's cooling like a champ. Call today to check on it.
It's True, I crave you. Na na na na na na
Boa noite seus videos são muito bom muito obrigado sou do Brasil
Nice of True to do that.
Rob HVAC like Tony the Tiger says there great!
curious about how much do you think the MFG adds in the price of the equipment to cover any warranties?? 40% would be my guess
THE GENIUS REPAIRS know idea.
Badass
John McMaster thanks John.
I have over charged a couple of these beer coolers by a few ounces and they seem to work fine what's your take on that
Scott Lorenson as long as it's not flooding back it will work.
WAGO connectors are pretty much standard everywhere in the EU for the last decade. Nice to see the US has discovered them. :D Europeans hate wirenuts :)
Good to see True have sent the whole new condenser. Wow.
How many repairs have you had to do on the van? I have stuff failing a lot on my newer chevy box truck.
Nilo Hissom I replaced the intake gaskets and rear piñon Bering and radiator. That's it.
That's not OCD that's just efficient! I do it all the time
Spencer Applewhite I like that a lot. Thank you.
Me too. Efficiency is Key. Repeatability is key in our trade. same way gets same results. it's when u change u have problems.
don't mean to sound stupid but where did you get your charging hoses and do you have a part number
Thanks
Martin Gardner there CPS I do not know the part #.
do you know if TRUE still honors warranty if u take over a cooler from the original owner
Good question. I think so. The compressor they run cabinet serial number and if in 5 years ship out replacement.
The van was a good investment.

how many Oz. do you think is in the the charging lines
Scott Lorenson not sure.
You like the Testo 550?
Yes best bang for the buck

Felipe Tafolla no long at all. You can see the clock on the iPad. At 65 degrees then at 37 degrees.
Nor-Cal Refrigeration & H.V.A.C cool thanks Dave

#VANGINA
ill give you 500 for the van bro
Get this backpack from yellow jacket 10146 way better
TRUE ROCKSTHE OTHER STUFF NOT
you stole the vangina!
another year or two, thats how i thought about my 95 e150 endup keeping it for seven more years. Keep the vangina till she dies!
Dennis Noone will do!

OcRefrigeration,Hvac & Electrical. No I'm not doing warranty on those.
