1995 Chevy C1500 AC compressor replacement! 

I like the way you keep it real by not editing out all the little quirky things that go wrong when doing a job like this.

Have replaced this compresors more than twice. It would be a good idea if you take off the heater plug conector and put it back before you install the compressor . Its way more easy to work on that wire lock

Good info to know. I'm going to change out the ac compressor in my 2002 Chevy Silverado. The auto shop wanted to charge me $550 for parts & labor. I said I'll just RU-vid it and do it myself. Thanks for the video.

there is a flat spot on the head of the bolt so you can pull out the long bolts .

this helped so much! I've been running a little USB fan an riding with the windows down but that's not gonna help when August comes🤣 but great video I will be using the video when installing my ac compressor

Would it be easier to take out the snap ring and O ring and such parts before putting the new compressor in place? Looking at doing this for my '94

Now I gotta get mine going before Springtime starts! Thanks for confirming how to do it all! ONE QUESTION: What about pulling a vacuum on the system - isn't that required?

how is it the "old O ring" on a new compressor?

Those bolts you struggled with have a shaved off section on the head that if you align with the pulley will come right off.

You can change the low and high fitting without buying new lines. I did it to my 95. Old style like that have a check ball the newer valves have a shrader valve

I'm sorry, but this video drives me nuts. While I don't believe it was intentional, there is a lot of wrong or unmentioned info here. 1. When changing out a compressor you should always always always pull the orifice tube from the condenser and flush the condenser with some type of solvent and then compressed air 2.Also always replace your receiver/drier 3. Flush ALL LINES AND EVAPORATOR with some solvent and then compressed air 4. Before ever adding refrigerant to the system ALWAYS vacuum for at least 30 minutes or you risk damage to your new compressor(you can check if it holds pressure while your gauges are hooked up to it and it's under vacuum by watching to see if the needle on the gauges moves back up towards 0) 5. The Schrader valve in both the high and low pressure ports can 100% be swapped out, it's just not the typical Schrader valve that is most common. I have a 1995 K1500 and have repaired or replace just about everything possible on it. But that asidr, the video was well put together and I would definitely come back to learn more when I needed to provided I was confident the information I was being given was solid. I'm not trying to be mean or rude by any means here, just trying to give a newer channel some honest feedback

I agree but tell people they need to rinse the Condenser is properly right if you have a burned out compressor however you’re not gonna find any are 11 around to flush the system with so my point is the dryers and filters and all that should’ve been changed at the same time the compressor was changed the condenser if it didn’t have no leaks I doubt that it would have anything left in it now if it was a burn out I’d be replacing the condenser also which is more likely got a leak in it to

What’s that electrical plug with a snap ring on the back of the air compressor called, I need a replacement

If you knock the compressor back pry between compressor and bracket the bolts come right out.

did you put compressor oil in the A/C pump pac 45 ?

Where does those heater core hoses go too I don't have any on my truck trying too figure out where it goes

How about putting oil in the system. Did you already put the amount of oil in the new compressor that it should have for the system. Normally for a complete syatem would be 3 to 6 ounces total?

Did you ad more oil or did you just leave it as is , I believe they come pre charged with 3oz of pag oil

Does anyone know what the bolt size is that connects the bracket to the engine? My compressor was going out and apparently it vibrated out the bolt that connects the bracket itself to the engine. I pulled the compressor to install a bypass and saw the bracket was only being held by a stud? and the bottom bolt. The top of the bracket is a good inch or so away from the engine and allows the belt to walk off. I want to fix it, but since I never saw the bolt I have no idea what to replace with. Searching the web hasn't helped.

Do you need the high pressure fitting if it is a 2 door Yukon

Hello- unreal edtion, friend- 🙌

Do u need to add oil before u install the ac compressor or it wouldn’t leak

I subscribed, and hope you post video of the new a/c lines. My compressor is noisy and leaks along the edges of the frame, so I'm just riding it out, and adding a can every 4ish months. I see you've had your channel for years like me. It's tough to get to monetization and to get the watch time hours and subscribers all in one. Good luck.

When I tried removing my AC compressor, it started leaking/hissing air/oil through the back so I tightened it again. Is that normal?

Do you know the length and size of the bolts and nuts

I thought you had to vacuum out the system before you could charge it up?

How do u keep ur truck from dying out when the ac is on ?

Do I need to drain the ac system Or can I just disconnect the lines

where did you obtain the new compressor and what is the proper name or model?

Thank you soooo much !!!!

Is it still holding up?

Hey what kind of a/c compressor is that? Is it 4 seasons air compressor?

How can I tell if my compressor is bad ?

There's a flat spot on the bolts bud 👌

did u delete the smog pump on your truck

What about the oil. did I miss it?

he didn't vacuum it down and no dryer change or filter change

How not to do it

I would suggest taking this video down. I'm about to do mine and if I wasn't mechanically inclined I would just waste alot of time and money due to this video

Knows nothing dont take any knowledge from hin he knows nothing
