    Excellent Job Clay I usually Measure the Temp from the Center Vent At 1000-1500 RPM after Idling For 15 Mins . Right On Brother Thumbs Up Great Video as Always

      +Chris Chiampo we usually measure for a little longer but i had trucks lined out the door. I knew if it cooled it down over 20 degrees on the driver vent at standard idle in 2 mins that it was working so .... it had to go. Plus it was our truck vs a customer truck. We got to keep those wheels turning on our own stuff !

    Great video thanks my friend. I'm a little surprised that the machine didn't have to be on the system while it was running to check the pressure I must just be old school. Mack is a pretty good place to get parts when you can and the o ring grease I like it see to many people put regular grease on them don't like that eats them up. Keep up the great work my friend see you in the next video thanks again

      +Scott Pearson those ac machines makes it easy. Pretty much set it and go do something else while it works. Saves time by not baby sitting it. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment.

    I'm jealous. I hope to get an a.c. machine soon. I was looking at the master cool command 3000.

      +Antonio Boosta they sure make it easier. Hook it up. Set it and walk away and do something else. Nice not to babysit it.

    Have an RTI A/C machine at my dad's and it has been a trouble free machine since day one.Used to have a Robinair that was a pile of junk since it was brand new,SPX whom owned Robinair would not do a thing about it.Gave the run around basically.My dad's 2001 Freightliner FL60,the a/c does not work and needs a condenser.Has not replaced it yet and will get to that some day

      +wafrederick those condensers are salty ! I looked at the robinair machine before buying the snap On and honestly i just liked the snap on one better. Thanks for watching and thanks for taking the time to comment.

      Robinair is now owned by Bosch,Bosch bought out SPX a few years and it has been worse.Bosch does not stand behind anything at all

    So I have a 389 Peterbilt and it barely pushes out cool air. The blower system works fine it’s just the temperature. On the expansion valve it is wet and sometimes frozen which makes me think it might be plugged and not getting any more Freon into the system. I am not sure if the mechanic after changing the compressor had run a vacuum on the system or not. What else could it be and is it normal not to pull a vacuum on this. Thanks Teresa Charlotte Tennessee looking for some help here

    Where is the AC thermostat on that Paccar hiding at ??? Is it somewhere hidden behind that air intake around the blower fan ???

      J.C. SMITH PROJECTS haha it is an expensive tool but sure makes it easier. While it’s doing its thing you can do something else. Don’t have to baby sit it !

    What if it's blowing cold up front but hot as hell in the bunk? Is there more than one expansion valve on a 2011 peterbilt 386 if so where are they because Peterbilt told me there is only one.

    • @KoonTrucking

      It was cooling fine just had a leak where line goes in. You could charge the system and in two days it would be out. We found it using ac dye

    • @KoonTrucking

      corwindotsonful we had one a while back the ac condenser was bad on the truck and he was there and had a 34 hour restart to do so it was fixed there.

    • @KoonTrucking
      @KoonTrucking  4 роки тому

      If you don’t have Freon in the system and have a vacuum pump
