I have a compressor replacement job going on my Ram 2500 V10 and came across a connector I hadn't seen before, you covered the type of connector and how to uncouple it which saved me a bunch of frustration! Haha! Your coverage about the oiling up of a new unit was also key with me going forward with my work, thanks a bunch for sharing!
Great video. Thank you for showing that electrical connector. I couldn’t get close enough o see how it came apart. What a pain!! After you showed how it comes apart i was able to get it but it was still very difficult. You didn’t specify if that red tab locks it in but it seems it did not move until i slid that red tab to its opposite side, which your video showed how it was to the one side, opposite of where mine was when I couldn’t get it apart. But great video, the more details the better. Thanks.
Thanks. The adapter had the red slide on it but I think my truck was either missing the red clip or the harness didn’t have it or I couldn’t see it because of the greasy connector. I don’t remember seeing that on the truck. That’s probably why I don’t mention it in the video. I agree with you the more details the better.
@@TheUltimateHandymanKyle Have you considered adding additional services such as a course or car repair coaching service? The shop prices where I live are now $190 per hr. so there may be a space in the market for an auto repair coaching or consulting service.
Hello, do you know if the 1995 Cummins has the wire connection, I took my compressor off but didn’t see no connector on the compressor? But did see some wire hanging from the truck. ???
I’m not sure but there should be some type of wire connection that goes to the compressor because it needs some type of electrical input to turn it on and off. I just looked up a compressor for that year and it has a wire with connector coming out of it.
It’s a Banks kit. It came with a lot of different parts for the engine including turbo charger parts, intake parts, injection pump parts, exhaust parts and boost and temperature gage. I think this is the kit we used. It added a lot of power to the truck. official.bankspower.com/magazine/combo-plate-banks-new-cummins-12-valve-power-package/
Is it still working? I was thinking about going OEM but if you haven’t had any issues with yours, I might as well just cheap it out. I have a 97 as well and I live in the south, and the summer has been brutal.
Hey there I was wondering if I could just leave the oil that comes from the factory and install the compressor then just leave the plug uninstalled until I take it to a shop to get vacuumed out and proper oil installed and also get my refrigerant at the same time? Or would that wreck the compressor?
It should be ok don’t run the AC until it’s all done. You can just do everything I did in the video then take it to a shop to have it vacuumed and filled
@@TheUltimateHandymanKyle o ok 👍🏽 thanx my new compressor also on my 2nd gen dually didn't have it I tried swapping the old one to the new one but it didn't fit..thanx for the info I feel better I'll leave it as Is thanx bro!!
It has been a year since you posted this video. How is the compressor holding up? I have a 98 12V that I am getting ready to replace the compressor on and I want to get something that will last.
Gracias x traducirlo a castellano soy de argentina t ago una consulta tengo una ram 2006 tiene cumins 6c 24v quiero ponerle un compresor de aire para frenar un trairle se puede agregar otra polea ? Al sigueñal .si alguien me puede asesorarme se lo agradezco
The way he adds oil. It works typically compressors come prefilled with oil and you have to nitrogen flush the whole ac system and replace the dryer. Or check way that half ass works is using compressed air I just watched this video to get an idea on how much of a bitch this job was gonna be
I was told I probably should have replaced all the components in the system but I went the cheapest route just doing the compressor. It still works great to this day.
I really like the way that you explain what you are doing. Good camera angles and audio too. Nicely done.
Thanks. I appreciate the feedback.

Thanks for the video and the mobile ac service reference. By the way I see you have a dual ram intake with a egr. Who makes it?

Where did you get the connector you were showing what the trucks connector looked like?
Hello greetings, just wondering how the Amazon Ac Compressor holding up so far? Needing to replace mine.✌️ Great video btw
It still works good
@@TheUltimateHandymanKyle 😂 right on man !! thx
Is it still working? I was thinking about going OEM but if you haven’t had any issues with yours, I might as well just cheap it out. I have a 97 as well and I live in the south, and the summer has been brutal.
Still works great

On the ac lines is there a 3rd washer in the center of the connection?
No just 2. The center is where the bolt goes
Hi there I noticed you didn't install the old relieve valve from the old compressor onto your new one, didn't it need it?
No I don’t think so. It’s been awhile since I made this video I would need to refresh my knowledge on this subject. The AC works perfectly still.
@@TheUltimateHandymanKyle o ok 👍🏽 thanx my new compressor also on my 2nd gen dually didn't have it I tried swapping the old one to the new one but it didn't fit..thanx for the info I feel better I'll leave it as Is thanx bro!!
@@joeroe2839 no problem
That oil on the pan bolts…. bad oil pan gasket? I get the same coating there
Yes that’s another project I need to work on
@@TheUltimateHandymanKyle do you think it could be coming down from another spot? Most likely oil pan gasket I would think….
Is it a good compressor?does it still works?
It works good still.

The compressor is working good, no Problems yet. I have been using it a lot in the last month.
@@TheUltimateHandymanKyle - Thx for the reply. It got to 105 where I live this week so gotta pull the trigger on this quickly.

That’s funny. It does sound just like the movie.

This job wasn’t to bad to do. It was more work filming it and making the video.
