Perhaps the perfect repair video. No pissing around spending ten minutes explaining how to remove the wheel, just getting it done! Bravo!
This is a great video. He doesn't leave out anything and his camera work is sharp and steady
Repairs like those are good money-makers, because they're quick and easy. And people will always need a/c in Texas, so there's always a market
I work on boats for a living in Miami. My side hustle is auto ac work. During the summer in Miami (80% of the year) ac work isn’t hard to find. I have a buddy that works at a dealer who sends me work they can’t figure out or when their customers want their ac fixed but can’t afford dealer pricing. If you learn these systems inside out you can make decent money repairing them.
Hell yeah bro here in Houston you can cash in on that ac work like a mug lol
I think “nuts and bolts” type videos can be just as good as complex diagnostics videos. There is always something I pick up from watching a master technician work. I’ve watched a thousand brake job videos on the South Main Auto channel
lol but I seriously pick up little tips and tricks constantly. Great work as always. I dig the chill music
Love your vids bro. My two cents to everyone out there is this...only cause this bit me once before. New compressors “usually” come with a full system charge of oil. Sometimes that full system oil charge can be up to 8 ounces or more and the old compressor may only be holding an ounce give or take. The safest method of doing this would be to measure exactly what comes out of the old compressor, then drain the new one and put back that same amount of new oil that came out of the old one. The full system charge is great if you’ll be replacing the condenser and drier cause all you have to do is flush the evap out. Sorry for my crap grammar, not proud to say I skipped way more school than I should have.
Just wondering do you leave all the oil that came with the ac compressor in it ? Or do you dump out the old ac compressor and measure what came out and Weigh in however much you got from the old compressor. I was told that the new compressor has a full charge of oil and that it would be to much oil in the system. Just wondering if I was taught the rite way or the wrong way . Basically I was taught to dump out old weigh it and put that much new oil in the compressor. . Thanks for your videos
You’re told correctly.
This is great for 2WD. For 4WD, remove the heater hoses going into the water pump and remove compressor from top (no room with axle and 4WD components to remove from bottom.
Thanks. I was hoping someone on here would mention this .
Yeah, you know it....I managed to do it from the bottom but there's one mounting bolt that is a real bee-awtch to crack loose even with obstruction type 'S' wrenches.....it's gonna be fun to get that bolt started without cross-threading it.
that old AC belt didnt look too good , lots of cracks and wear ....
Noticed that too !!!
Video was useful but.... Why didn't you replace the dryer? Did you tape up or wire loom all those multi colored wire bundle up near the exhaust manifold?
After getting a quote of 700 up to 2k to replace and rexharge my ac system...im definitely going to do it myself.
Please tell me he had a new compressor belt fitted? That one was finished....😱
Great video. I like both diag as well as R&R videos.
Doesn't hurt that I have an old GMT800 like that one. Compressor can't last forever...
Just a note. When you take out an old compressor, drain the PAG oil into a graduated cylinder or beaker to measure the amount of oil, than drain all the new PAG out of the new compressor and put back in the new compressor the same amount that came out of the old compressor. The new compressor comes with a full system charge of oil so you are overloading the system with PAG.
Not always. Some come pre-charged with about 3 ounces of PAG, some come filled with a shipping oil that needs to be drained, some don't come pre-charged at all. It's best to check your paperwork for the compressor you purchased to see what you're working with.
Right! Check the specs, all don’t come with full system amount of oil.
Most of these new compressors come already oiled
Only works if u don't have a leaky compressor
I have a 5.3 Silverado, this will be very helpful to me. Please continue to produce these types of video's, greatly appreciated. All your videos have been very helpful. Thank you.
I’d love to see more videos like this.
Wish I could have seen the decompression but overall it was excellent for the quick and dirty like me. Excellent video, and the editing wasn't too bad. ( maybe a few less planes next time, although I do like those.)
Yes it was a good Video, I have a 2003 Tahoe 5.3 my ac making a weird noise , I live in Houston Tx , do you hv a place to work on cars n trucks ? I was looking up videos on how to check ac making noise, found your video , it’s hard to find a good shop that’s not gonna rip you off . You seem like someone I can trust with my truck lol let me know if I can contact you , it’s A brutal summer right now in Houston Texas today’s Friday, July 30, 2021
Eric's on the road. 👍 Always interesting whatever the videos are.
Dont forget to DRAIN YOUR FREON FIRST!!
advanced level idiocy, this was a terrible video, how many mistakes can you make in 1 go, please dont work on cars anymore if you keep to this level of work someone will get hurt !
You should have a complementary video how to find and repair leak on the AC lines
Eric, you are AWESOME in what ever video you make always learn some thing new from ya and by the way i am in Canada where to buy that a/c line blue light punch to the line u are using looked online could not find any link would be appreciated. thank you and cheeeers
Great video!! Good angles, clean explanations. This wasn't the same model as the Chevy I was working on but this video gave me the knowledge I needed to transfer the same steps into my repair!! Thank you so much!! Is there a way I can contact you to maybe collaborate on a future repair? Or just talk about car repair and production?
Cool vids but may want to little more normal 😅sound like you reading a script 😅
Great video. I'd love to see more like these.
Yes love to see different vids, thank you! I hardly get anything done, lol!!!
Thank you for talking the time to make this videos for us, greatly appreciated, good luck on future endeavors
Dude you made it look easy and informative.. but I have to ask , did you replaced that busted up compressor belt ? I know you saw it needed to be replaced when you were taking it off , even though you didn’t mention it Lol.
2 questions.
1 did you have to flush the system?
2 did you have to put oil in the compressor?
Your video was helpful and good. But its for a 2wd. I just did this to my 4wd and its different having a CV axles and such. I got quite pissed off with the minimal turns I could do on the lower bolts lol. But I got it done and blowing cold again.
Yah, the lower back mounting bolt almost did me in, one degree swing on my box end ratchet....I had some 'S' type obstruction box end wrenches too. They paid for themselves on this job alone.
Something different this time.
Is there a procedure to drain compressorbefore removal?
Alright be safe brother fellow auto tech huaah
Thanks for taking us along. I enjoyed the trip to the airport. Great work as always. BTW, your videos are extremely helpful. Almost all of the advice you give is applicable on most cars and taking us through your logical thought processes is really good. Keep the videos coming.
Thanks for sharing sir. I am comfortable with taking out parts and screws/bolts, but dealing with pressurised lines is kind of hard. Any videos on how that? Thanks
Eric, I am so glad to see you as a mobile mechanic. You don't have all the overhead expenses of a shop. You can keep more profit in your pocket, and eventually get a enclosed trailer to carry your compressor and other tools. Get a toyota tundra to pull it. Extremely reliable. You can look for a used one, maybe hard to find, but you can do it. You have all the knowledge and experience!
Love your videos man and wish you well, I have a request? Is there anyway you can do videos on how you handle documentation,estimating' invoicing, typical tooling and maybe work flow for your mobile work for us starting out on our own? I feel very unorganized with my work lol
Awesome video. Its it the same process for the 6.2L engine (Denali)?
@18:36 Oh yeah, oh yeah...
Made me feel that cool air over here...🥶
U need to make a video on how to get started as a Mobil mechanic😂
put tools in your car and drive to car that needs work. done.
@@NeoAndersonReloaded awesome comment😂
You rebuilt the engine and a couple of months later it's still running great. That's amazing!
Yes A/C season is back, let's make this money mechanics👍
Dude,Ur The Man!!!
Super Helpful!!!
Thank U Sir...
I Was Going 2 Go 2 A Shop And Get Changed 350 Tomorrow...
Just 2 Switch Out The Compressor And Change The System ...
Now U Gave Me The Confidence 2 Do It My Self...
GOD Bless U Good Sir...
Yes you should do more of these. You are the only one that explained how to charge to a/c with the gauges so clearly on youtube
Wow, great video! I am not a mechanic and I am D-I-Y by necessity due to life constraints. This video is great for a couple of reasons; 1) you demonstrated that this is a big job [for me]; however, you made it look easy and tempting for me. I visited a couple of local auto repairs shops and auto parts store. I actually received honest tips from each business I visited yesterday. I received a parts list from the auto parts store for $400.00 + that included AC Compressor, Accumulator, Orifice Tube and AC Condenser. I checked my truck's repair history argh! I just wish I had confidence in finding honest mechanics.
@NoobsGaming1124 Thanks for the tip, but I got very lucky that I was recommended to a local shop [I thought they only did oil changes]: the Chief Mechanic (Brian) - God I am praying for his full recovery because his hands were recently badly injured while working on a customer's vehicle: Brian has performed mechanical wizardry for our vehicles that all other mechanics did not want to service. Brian repaired my truck's HVAC for maybe $80.00 - at the time of repair Brian telephoned to report that the A/C line is good, but the valves/seal were the incorrect parts; he installed the correct valves/seal then commenced the vacuum seal test; the A/C system passed the vacuum seal test; therefore no leaks - he recharged the A/C and it feels like a cool fall Virginia day in the cab while it is a hot summer Florida day. During this HVAC issue, I felt like I was having other engine problems, so I also inquired if Brian would look at the battery and alternator. Brian also reported that the alternator was bad and needed replacement. I was shocked because I had both a new battery [Interstate Warranty installed at a local garage] and alternator installed by a "Mobile Mechanic" at O'Reilly's Parking Lot in 2019. Thank God the alternator failed within the warranty window! Brian repaired/replaced the A/C System and the Alternator at Grand Total of $70.77!!!! I now have a couple of spare parts [AC Delco Part #15-33436 from GMC Dealership, that I purchased prior to visiting Brian's shop. I think my total repair cost even with the purchase of parts I didn't need was $225.00 to $250.00. I pray for Brian's full recovery! He is a honest good man!
Thanks for posting this great video. My compressor locked up on 2000 Silverado . Should I replace the accumulator / drier as well ?
Thanks! It was useful and I have been experiencing the same problem with my o4 Silv with same engine. Saw were the pressure switch can go out and cause the same symptoms (hot air). So I amazoned it for $8 and took about 3 mins to replace it. When I did my maint operation chec, it was cool air! So I thought I had fixed it. Pretty proud of myself. But after it being parked for a week, I started it up and went for a drive and the cold air would not come on. So, now, I'm looking to replace the condenser. Your video was helpful, in that it made me realize I have the skill, just don't have the equipment needed to discharge / charge the system. Off to the shop we go!
Those sure look like Milwaukee tools! Lolll
I love your videos!!! I bought ThinkDiag. It’ll be arrived tomorrow. Thank you for discount! Great video! My dad and my uncle’s have Chevy 5.3. Tahoe and suburban. I fixed a lot on their trucks. Keep making video!
I must have missed his instructions in releasing the compression on lines.
I wonder why?
Should I replace the drier, too? The videos I've seen on youtube dont' talk about that but when buying a compressor online, I see a warning about replacing the drier.
I Wish you happy live and peace of mind I think you are straggling these days like all of us but you will move on you are good don't worry 👍
Like your vids Eric, you're a top technician. I know you would have replaced that AC belt lol.
Love that music man, Thanks for the video, and the music pretty cool
Are you in the Houston area and if so how much to change a 2015 Silverado ac compressor? . Thanks
Super helpful video I have a phobia about working under the truck with the tire off. I left my tire on, just turned to the left and it wasn't in the way at all. I appreciate you taking it off for better visual in the video.
Can a bad clutch in the A/C compressor cause my truck to eventually stall after 20 mins of running..? Seems like my truck loses power then stalls on me but the truck turns right back on like nothing happened. And yes it only stalls when i turn on my A/C, I’ve been driving for almost a year without turning on the A/C and it hasn’t stalled on me. Until i turn it on for about 20 mins it will stall on me
Nice to see how this is practically done without all the special tools. Yup, very helpful. There are a lot of confusing special rules about AC work, but the one I often wonder about is how serious they are about verifying you did a flush if you attempt to cash in a warranty claim on the compressor. That truck looks very familiar, ha ha.
Fishing the compressor out is the whole reason I came here and you just glazed over it. Thanks
Use 1 can then start it.... Thank you! Finally got my blazer recharged!
Did you even change out that AC belt? That belt looked like it was done... you could even see the cracks in it
I can tell it's cold A/C just by looking at the low side pressure. Probably just a touch undercharged but that's okay as long as the evaporator doesn't freeze. That air powered vacuum pump doesn't really vacuum low enough to remove moisture but I get where you're coming from. I've been there myself. I've used that same pump at one point when I didn't have a proper vacuum pump. You do what you gotta do. That pump is certainly better than charging with no vacuum at all. Good job, Sir!
Question. I have the 2007 4.8l. 1500 classic. Put a new compressor on it. And clicked on then off. Now it won't do.anything. any suggestions plz and thanks you
This was great. I’m about to replace mine and this was helpful.
Can the vehicle run without the AC compressor for this engine? I see that the compressor has it's own belt running from the crankshaft. If the belt from the crankshaft to the compressor were removed would the engine run without any issues. My sons vehicle has a bad compressor and it's making a grinding noise. The shop claims that it's necessary to replace. The cost to replace may be more than the vehicle is worth.
I CONSTANTLY warn people about "mobile" mechanics.
They want money up front and never finish the job.
They make a big mess and will come back later to clean it up.
Some are actually convicted sex offenders and try to fulfill desires.
They remove parts to take to machine shops or match up for new parts and never return to complete the job leaving the owner to find replacement parts.
The "repair" didn't work and now there is no answer, or the phone has been turned off.
ALL, and more of the stories above are actual facts. I have towed so many vehicles to a repair shop because owners were trying to save a little money.
While there may be some honest decent "mobile" mechanics, most are guys who can't keep a job in an auto repair facility.
I won't. RUclips evidently doesn't have this process in a 2011 2500hd 4×4 Silverado
I have a 2007 Silverado 4.8 engine. The compressor pulley and the harmonic balancer pulley are shaking while the engine is running. Is there a way I can just replace the AC pulley or do I have to replace the whole compressor? I already plan on replacing the harmonic balancer.
The sensor on the back is I believe to be the high pressure switch, my Escalade ext (truck version) the ac won’t kick on if that isn’t plugged in. Unfortunately I got an ac compressor without the plug on the back
Didn't drain old compressor and fill with new, measured oil. Didn't flush and purge old system. Didn't change out orifice tube. Why not?
I've 2003 Trailblazer. My compressor will not remove. I've removed all bults but it's so old is like the o rings are worn and not budging to come off. Help because I use this for work
This must be a 2wd. My 4WD was much harder to remove. Can't imagine the trouble I am going to have putting it back in.🤦♂️
Good day to you. You said the clutch came in and out, yet, you changed the compressor. Is the clutch part of the compressor? I’ll look online while wait for reply.
Thank you.
This 🕜 s al good 👍 have a 2011 hd 6.0 that needs the ac compressor but there is no tensioner pulley for the belt release. Clutch pully is trash show me that. That's what I know
My ac compressor just seized. Pulley doesn't turn and the belt broke. Maybe I'll give it a try and change it myself.
Hi sir does the accumulator needs to be replaced? My ac compressors clutch seized
How much did you charge him to rebuild his motor...mine is going on 200,000 it's right at 199976miles
Great video, definitely want more like this. Would've loved to see how to discharge the system
Exactly, it would be helpful to see how he discharged and or vacuum the system cus is a must do before anything else.
You‘re great in diagnosing stuff so I‘d like to see you doing „mechanical“ stuff as well to learn that stuff from you as well. So yes I‘d like this kind of videos too. Keep up the good work! 👍🙂
Hey boss love your video great video by the way, where are you located are you in the Dallas-Fort Worth area cause I can sure use your help on some of my vehicles that are broken down please let me know thank you and God bless you✝️✝️✝️
I’m assuming it’s the same exact process on a 2008 GMC Yukon?
Wow you're good, whenever you come to Dallas please fix mine, awesome job
Still working on cars/trucks? I need a new compressor. A mechanic really. Lmk
Uhhhh intermittent clutch actuation is normally a sensor issue or control issue. Best to check scanner for data and test sensors.
It's been 3 years since replacing this compressor and the A/C still works great! Thanks for watching!
I found a wire plug burnt and melted dangling that came from same loom as the power for air conditioning compressor. Anyone know what that is?
Good afternoon eric.i purchased a thinkdiag using your promo code and thx..however it doesn't appear to have any free manufacturer software that I can see.
Register the device in the app first. If you still have problems please contact support at facebook.com/Kingbolen.fans
... you skipped the most important step on how you managed to remove the second bolt which was the last bolt for the compressor to come out many of us are wondering how in the world you were able to do that even with a long wrench skip a step here my friend????
Its a shame that Chevy started putting their Compressors on low side of motor, back in the 90's they were at top of motor, very easy to get to....
my 04 silverado 2500 is different. theres fking bolts in front of the compressor bolts which you have to either remove everything or drill a hole in the frame to get to it
Have a question for you you say that that sensor that's in the back of the compressor doesn't matter it actually does matter because I installed one and I installed it perfectly for some reason it needs that f****** sensor so
My ac blows cold. Then when I stop I hear the compressor make a weird screeching sound is it a bad compressor?
my ac belt popped on my 03 silverado I'm hoping it just broke do to old age so I don't have to pay for all this labor for a compressor
I was curious what you charged for this AC compressor replacement?
Eric una pregunta 🤔 tu crees que un compressor de 10 o 12 SCFM sera suficiente para esa vacuum pump.. y cuantos minutos tengo que ponerla 🤔
I want the process of a 2011 not what y'all keep puking me in contact when th. 6.0
I have someone that's gonna charge me $600 for parts n labor....is that good?
Btw there are two compressors for these models trucks. Make sure you buy the right one!
Question those ac line to the compressor, when yoh tight the bolt that hold the ac line to the compressor the line should sit flat with the compressor? Because when i did mine it sit flat where the bolt sit, the other side don't
I need a little help. I took my car to shop and told me it's the ac compressor . I took to another shop and got it replace with new tube and dryer. But my car is not cycling off and on. Just stays on. I need my car for my cancer treatment. Help thank you.
Very helpful to me.every video we learned something.keep it up.
