- Just trying to stay cool in eastern North Carolina fixing on this F150 that the A/C has gone to the bad!
That old Orifice filter gave me a fit but we got her out!!
she cools pretty good hope she stays that way!
for thos want to know you add 10 oz of oil (peg or ester) if you dont replace compresser or if it dont come with oil in it most come with full oil charge in them if going to 134a use10% less freon them the truck calls for
The oil that comes w the compressor is really shipping oil. You should pour it out and turn the clutch and let the last bit drip out. Then add ur Pag oil, if using R134A.
@@healedbypitbulls6995 Rock Auto sends them with PAG oil.
I heard that if you are putting in R134A you need to use the RED ORIFICE TUBE and not the blue one.
I’m doing a ac compressor swap on my 92 f150 4.9 and red filter came with the kit
My 1990 R12 system had a red tube. The Four Seasons kit came with red and blue but didn't say which to use. I'll need this clarified.
Orifice filter!! Yes. That was my problem. Replaced it. And as you would say. Have a ice maker again! Thanks for video!
Hi Buddy. Great videos. One question.
Does the 1992 Ford F150 use an AC Expansion Valve? Where is it located? Please, I await your response.
Not the crow 😂
You have that on them big jobs!
I had to watch this video with English subtitles lol
Where can i find which is correct orfice tube. I hv been given blue and another place gave red????!!! For 93 F-150 5.0 using R134A
Found out Blue is for R12, red is for R134a
How many cans of Freon did it take to fill the system?
I think it holds 48oz
Whats that tool called u used to pop the thing open where the orifise tube goes
They are just A/C line quick disconnect tools here is a link from harbor freight

Great mix of facts and comedy. I'm working my AC on my 1995 F350 7.3
Thanks for the comment
No reciever drier replacement? I have one to replace mine but I can't find any information on them
GREAT video. Fantastic step by step explaining not only the steps, but, the part I was MOST interested in finding (learning) how and what connectors you need to take off. I'm looking to get an AC system out at a "Pick-a-Part" lot and installing it into out 93 E350 box truck. I was out at the part lot yesterday and looking at all those hoses and connection everything going which way was REALLY daunting. Your video was EXACTLY what I needed to gain confidence to go do it! THANKS!!!
Awesome! Thanks👍
@@ChristmanGarage I'm having a tough time finding a '93 e350. Can I use the ac from an F150 or other Ford around that time? And install that?
@@cackleberryfarm4598 a lot of them are the same it is highly likely
Wanted u show the accumulator swap. Wanted to see u flush all the lines. And see on gauge the 20 pull down vacuum. Did u flush the condenser?
Great video, doing my 1995 Bronco now that it's getting hot here in Georgia. Thanks for the video.
Is that an upgraded steering wheel off what year if so ?
Hardly any audio
Yep one of my earlier videos sorry about that
getting ready to do this once uni slows down. great video!
I cracked up when they came back to video after orifice tube removed he looked like he needed a moment 😂 thanks for making this video!
😂😂😅😅
Awesome video! I have a 94 F150 I’m in this Tx heat the AC works. After watching this video I want to do this. Whats a ballpark $ for parts and labor? thanks you
I haven’t bought any of these parts in a while but if I had to make a guess just the compressor is probably around $200 not including everything else. I would probably budget around 5 or 6 hundred
@@ChristmanGarage thanks brother 🙏
I guess I got lucky. I bought the 11 dollar adapter kit from AutoZone and filled that sucker up. I now have ice cold air.
That’s awesome!👍
What did you end up using to remove the orifice? We are on day 38!
I ground a pair of needle nose pliers down very thin to reach in and grab it👍
12:45 what tool is that? I love it! Brand and model please, if possible!
just a harbor freight earthquake 3/8 battery ratchet
Where would I go about finding all the supplies I need to do it all
I usually buy all my parts from O reillys because they stand behind their products and I don’t pay shipping👍
Great Video! Im In California so it has not got extremely hot yet but im currently working an issue. Ive relized that when I use the AC the AC Clutch kicks on and then 5-10 seconds later kicks off. I ended up using a can of freon to put more in but it was a bit difficult to get an accurate level cuz it kept changing from pressure to not because the clutch was kicking on and off. one filled I realized it stopped changing over every 5-10 seconds but then about 2 minutes later it started doing the same thing. Is this a tail tail sign that there might be a small leak? Also it looks like the Clutch isnt held on by screws but more like metal dowels, seems like a lot of movement in it
Depending on the pressures in your system it could be a low pressure switch going bad also could be a leak or an air gap in the compressor clutch those clutches have some wiggle to them naturally if that’s the movement your talking about
@@ChristmanGarage Yea Ill have to look into a pressure switch potentially. Ill probably need to take it to a professional to tell me if the Clutch is bad. unfortunetly I cant send pictures. the AC was cold but I can hear the clutch engageing and disengaging frequently still so not 100% sure. after your video def feels like a somewhat straigh forward install and exchange so might just have to have a shop evac the old refridgerent before I change some parts. I mean its a 30 year old car now haha who knows if anything was ever changed.
I’ve seen some of the videos on these conversions and they changed the condenser as well and some even the whole box that sits on the firewall. I noticed you didn’t change the condenser. I’m curious as to why they changed it or why you didn’t? And is this system still working? Thank you in advance
Yes the truck is still cooling good you don’t need to change the evaporator (thing in the firewall) or the condenser (thing in front of radiator) as long as you flush the system really good 👍
If u hv the newer parallel flow condenser it must be replaced. They cannot b flushed.
Thanks! Informative and intertaining!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Could not hear you......your mike is bad
Yeah sorry about that
Did you convert from r12 to r134??
Yes used the adaptor kit👍
I think I might be able to hear you better standing on my front porch here in Greenville LOL. I love my metric adjustables!
Yeah sorry about the audio ☹️
@@ChristmanGarage If I replace all of my O'rings and orifice tube in my Bronco, should I do a flush? The compressor is good. Thanks
@@a.williams2318 yes I would flush for sure👍
"Three hunnit eminem wrench"
😂😂
How many oz of oil did you put in?
The new compressor had oil already in it not sure sorry.
@@ChristmanGarage Thanks for the reply. But if you cleaned out the evap, lines and condenser, aren't they supposed to have an equated amount of oil added as a "system" in addition to the compressor? Or am I wrong about that. I'm an EPA 608, not a 609 so I'm not sure how that works.
@@crforfreedom7407 usually a new system takes a set amount like 2 or 3 ozs but when I changed this one I flushed the entire system and the compressor had a tag that warned about adding more oil and I know that too much oil can be bad so I didn’t add any
I think that’s incorrect. There are charts showing Pag oil capacities. Make sure u Google them
Thanks for making the video! I took the time to sign in and give you the THUMBS-UP! (I see most people are lazy). You are good at that and make it look easy, I sure wish I was your neighbor! I was stationed at Ft. Bragg, NC along time ago, what a beautiful place to be. I should have stayed, I really could have been your neighbor!!
Awesome👍thanks for your service and the comment!
Thanks this was a great video. I have a leaky hi pressure line and my system is blowing hot air, do you think just replacing the line will be enough or should I do an overhaul
if you replace the line and and do a good flush it should be fine unless the compressor has a lot of miles on it. thanks for the comment👍
@@ChristmanGarage thanks you
