How To ReCharge AC Ford F150 DIY 97 98 99 00 01 02 03 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 

Quick and to the point. Exactly what simple jobs like this should be. Much appreciated.

I'll add to those that couldn't find the correct port without this video.

Was trying to find the "hidden" low pressure port on my 99 5.4. Your video quickly covered location on all engines, something I found no one else has bothered to do. Great job . . . . I have no doubt you have helped many with this.

Thanks for showing the port location of the 2002 F150 with 4.2L 6 cyl . That helped me verify the low side . Many show the port with cap on the V8 and is def in another location. Many thanks

Thanks. I looked high and low on my 5.4 and could not find that port until I saw your video

Thanks! I would have never found the intake on my 4.6L without you.

Thanks for showing the location of the recharge port. I'd add you should have gloves and protective eyewear to save yourself from a world of hurt. And on our truck the a/c compressor was rapidly cycling on and off due to a low overall refrigerant amount, which caused the gauge to change from high to low pressure reading. When the compressor kicks on, the pressure drops too low and the compressor shuts off. Then the pressure temporarily increases to "high," triggering the compressor to run until the pressure drops too low again and shuts off the compressor. In that case, if the lowest reading you get (when the compressor is running) is at the low mark, the system doesn't contain enough refrigerant overall to meet the compressor's requirements. So you may have to and I definitely had to add refrigerant until there was enough refrigerant for the compressor to stay running. Then i could get a stable pressure reading which showed that the pressure was low (i think it was 20 psi). But knowing the desired low side pressure is tricky as it depends on the temp around the truck. And the low side pressure may normally even be be close to zero if it is cold outside with the a/c running, apparently. Ideally you should have a manifold gauge for measuring the a/c system's pressure, because it can measure both the high and low pressure lines and make sure both have proper pressure. And it's also tricky to determine the ideal high side pressure. I only used a low pressure line gauge built into my low pressure recharge hose (that is all you get with those "easy" diy recharge kits), but that is only a hack. I guess it's okay to get the a/c working again in a pinch. The proper way is to measure both high and low pressure lines using a manifold gauge which is rentable from auto parts stores. If you are using the manifold gauge to measure pressures or refill the system, never open the valve to the high pressure side. The pressure of the high pressure side can be read with its valve closed, and never open the high pressure valve as you would get a dangerous high pressure refrigerant coming out of the manifold gauge. (I would imagine it being a huge explosive release of vapor or freezing liquid but i dont know what would actually happen) This is all info i learned from Eric the Car Guy's ac recharge video.

You made that easy. I did it. Blowing cold now. 🥶

Showing where the ports are was priceless.

Thanks for the very clear and concise video. Just what I was looking for.

Thank you buddy for keeping that short and sweet

BEST VIDEO for AC F-150 Thank you!!!!!

Thanks for making this video. Very informative. I followed all your steps and saved a bunch of money 😂 Thx again!

Thank you for the opportunity to show me the video to recharge the ac on the pickup

Nice. My truck is blowing snowballs again. Thanks!

Thank you very much! Easy to follow and gets the job done!

Super helpful, and quick and to the point. Thank you....

Very helpful thanks looks to easy to pay someone like I was about to do. Bless you brother keep up the good work

Thanks for the info very helpful, especially when you don't know a lot about certain ways of working on your car.

Good, simple, straight forward

Excellent description! Thanks a lot.

Helped a lot on the small V-8. Thanks

Thanks for the good direction, easy to follow!!

I hope it's as easy as you showed in your video. This will be my first time and I am determined to do this. Thanks again !!

Thank you for doing one with the 4.2L Engine. Wasn’t 100% sure where the port was until now. Had a good educated guess, but wanted to see it done first. I have an 02 as well. Love this old truck.

Forgot where the low side was. Quick and barebones easy vid. Thanks

Exactly what I needed, Thanks

Great video it helped me do exactly what needed to do keep putting them out bud

Thank you. Quick and to the point.

Thank you so much for posting this video! My brother has a 2000 f150 Triton V8 7700 with a propane system installed. So you can say I was a little turned around at first. After playing the video a couple times and making comparisons to his truck I had my aha moment remembering he had a propane system as well. With those extra hoses it makes it a little more tasking. Lol

Thanks for info, especially the locations of low pressure points

good straight forward info . you don't beat around the bush looking at yourself on camera like alit of goofballs . thanks

Thanks for showing me the right port to charge.

I never would have found the port, thanks

Once I found the low side port with your Great Help it went well and have Cold A/C again for now anyway hope it does not leak

Thanks! I couldn’t find the low pressure valve!

Good vid. Earned my subscription. Thanks..

So, I just replaced the compressor on my truck and had the system vacuum at a shop. He said he couldn’t get the compressor to turn on to fill it with Freon. But from what I’m seeing online it has a fail safe where if there’s not enough Freon it won’t let it turn on until there’s a Ohhh Freon in this system. All fuses and relays are good also.

Thank you. that was helpful mine is a 2003, I was not sure which was the low pressure.

Thanks for the info. Was very helpful.

EASY-PEASY. Thanks!

Couldn't find my port on 4.6 video really helped now to get my small hose down there and try to rotate 😂😅 but thanks

This helped me a lot. Thank you

Ok... would like to see and understand more about the hook up of the hose.. I haven't got a hose just yet, and understand there are certain refrigerate and hoses that have to be used, but guessing as this video didn't talk about that, the Auto Zobe guys will know and show me...

Thanks a lot I tried to find the low port till I saw your vid I don’t know why they hide it lol make hard for us thank you again

That's great... Ty, for saving me time and $$$!!

Great help video. Right on bro!

Thanks, that was very helpful... Keep it up!

Good explanation

Thanks a million!!

Just saved 60.00..thanks

Thanks. very helpful.

Very helpful! Thanks so much!

Thanks for your help

Thanks needed refresher course lol

Thanks for helping find port

Great video

Great! Makes it easy!

Short and sweet

Great video!

Great explanation...thank you

Thanks Made job easy

Very helpful. Thanks

Great help, thank you!!!

What refrigerant is used? Great video by the way. F150 ac charge.

On a 1997 ford ranger would be where on the canister or by the compressor ??

Thank you Perfect

Thanks dude. Appreciate it ❤

My 97 with the 4.2 has the recharge location on the canister like on the v8 models

Short n Sweet

Good Job

when I tried this the gauge moves between 25psi and 45 psi but a lot faster than it does in your video, like the click of the compressor turning on happens every couple seconds so the needle is basically always moving from one side of the green section to the other back and forth constantly. idk if you know what's wrong with it

Thank you much!!!

Very helpful

Good job

The truck you're working on I don't know what it is but it's not the same as the 98 that I have the under hood fuses are different

Nice

Quick! Thank you!

Thanks man!!!!!

Thanks ,but I have 54 got big port,and line do not hook to it

Thank you

If I put a new a/c accumulator do I need to put pag oil in it

Good post

Thanks

Thank you!

Very helpful.

Thanks 👍🏻

thanks bro

Weird I have the 4.2 but the thing is still in the back

I’ve seen so many videos of the v8 but not the v6.

Mine is blowing air out of the low pressure port?

No explanation of what kind of "recharge tool" or what kind of refrigerant. on to more videos...

It was very educated

Thanks

What purging or whatever?

Is the refrigerant r134A ?

thx

How many cans?

Thx Bruh 🤝👊☮️

Great
