great content. keep up the good videos your helping a lot of owner ops fix there own truck and not get taken for a ride by these shop dealers that just throw parts at your truck until they find the right one while charging you 90-175 an hour and taking a week to do that. what do think about buying a maxforce from an auction for like 8-10 grand then deleting it right away? thanks.
Out of curiosity... why did you not replace the receiver drier? It’s a must every time you open up the system. Personally, I’ve found it faster to just open the hood. Remove the nut holding the a/c lines into condenser, remove the condenser nuts by simply leaning in and loosening them. Then pull condenser off. Install new one and tighten down. From there, r&r receiver drier and install the new a/c o-rings. Tighten.
Curious, why does it have to be replaced? We recently replaced ours, had that replaced too but why does it have to be replaced? Im only looking again because they said if we had pinched a line we would be fine but idk and the new one already has a leak
Hello I have a freightliner Cascadia has no cold air in front but has cold air in rear , I did replaced EXPANSIVE VALVE on the front side, recharge the freon , but it did not change anything , front still has no cold air, and rear has really cold air . Do you think the new EXPANSIVE VALVE is not working or maybe something else cause front AC NOT cooling at all ？If you have time please let me know I appreciate ， thank you
you could’ve add oil in the ac condenser and avoid taking out those hoses from the Ac compressor, and i don’t know if you install new gaskets on those hoses? anyway this video is still helpfull
if they put new freon i think its better if you put some oil to lubricate the compressor, you can still add some oil , at autozone they sale something like this www.google.com/search?q=ac+compressor+oil&prmd=sivn&sxsrf=ALeKk01veGNsjjNR1U-fKrtaQWdc90_Amg:1588614113254&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwju9p7f4JrpAhUMGKwKHW1VDiQQ_AUoAnoECA0QAg&biw=412&bih=678&dpr=2.63#imgrc=_xZMxzfnUOvV3M
I bought an aftermarket condenser...but didn't come with the bolt in the moddle of the two hose connector...the one you said it's a 10mm...what size bolt and where can i find it. Called freightliner but don't know part # or anything??? Can you help please.
Placing that freon can upsidedown to charge the system with liquid freon goes totally against my knowledge. But I am not a professional, might be wrong. Everybody was saying that if liquid gets in compressor - it will get damaged.
That’s not true. Try sucking out air from a glass bottle like a beer or soda glass bottle. You cannot pull out the liquid that way. Besides, (some) new A/C compressors come with oil inside. They wouldn’t add it if it meant the oil would be sucked out in a vacuum. When you vacuum the compressor, you probably want the vacuum lines to be placed higher than the compressor to prevent any oil from flowing out due to gravity (not vacuum, of course).
@@thereviewer4173 actually that is not true ether. We all know that water boils (evaporates) at lower temps in lower pressures. So by pulling vacuum we reducing pressure well below the boiling point so all water will boil (evaporate) and get sucked out in vacuum pump. Now I don't know about oils boiling points - must have not. By sucking on a bottle of beer you just can not reduce the pressure low enough for beer to evaporate. Try connecting it to your vacuum pump - that's gonna be interesting to see 😅
