got quoted $1200 to repair this, just did it myself and only spent $155 on parts. Video was a great help and works for 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokees. Thanks a ton for the video!!
Just changed mine out this morning, using this video. Thank you! Took me two hours, and I don't consider myself any kind of mechanic. The only thing I did different was not detaching the AC lines by going through the bottom of the car. I was able to access the nut from above, by shifting the condenser to the left a little, and using a deep socket on a ratchet. This video saved me hundreds of dollars on a surprisingly easy job that I was nervous about doing myself! I appreciate it!
Great Video! This will be very helpful when I replace my condenser next week. One question - does the transmission fluid leak out all over the place once you disconnect the lines from the condenser? Thanks you again for taking the time to post this excellent video!
thanks for the video it really helped I'm having that same problem right now took my Durango to the dealer and they are charging me $700-800 to fix the problem 😢😢
How to Automotive any insight into what seal and o-ring part number is required as you mentioned in your video to reconnect the AC lines? Can I just reuse what is there?
What o-rings or seals are required for the AC lines when you replace them? Do you have a part number to look up? Is it possible to reuse the existing ones?
I imagine this would be very similar to a dodge nitro as well? I'm pretty sure I cracked my cooler driving through snow on the lake. It's leaking now and has been I've just been checking levels and adding but I need to tackle this and would rather do it myself (with help from a buddy haha)
i did mine fine, drove it for about 400 miles and the top trans fluid line starting leaking all the fluid out. maybe it wasnt in all the way or the gasket is wrong? ill know in next couple of days.
Great video but I would not recommend pulling the clips for the transmission lines. Find a way to press the lines in as your supposed too. I removed the clips as you did and then re-installed them after I put the lines back in. Well, I guess one of the lines wasn't in all the way and the line popped out. Fortunately I realized it early on because I was paranoid they were not in correctly and only lost a small amount of trans fluid. That could have been a disaster. I was finally able to just press the line back in but it was a real pain in the ass.
Why they would make the condenser and trans cooler in one ? Its the stupidest thing I’ve seen. But all the dodges I work on lately are junk. Good video , everything was on point.
nealyville either it’s not charged up properly or something go unplug. I would back over all your work. If you have a scan tool you will see what’s missing in the Data and that’s where the problem will be.
I have a quick question if I may. I have to replace the radiator instead. Would I access it the same way. And could I get away with not taking to get freon released
kidbowjb yes you can take the radiator out without discharging the AC and this would video would definitely help you get the radiator out it's a little bit additional work.
