Thank you. Yours was the only one in which I could easily find the low pressure port. Got it working!

[@InsaneOil]

Awesome, sounds like it was a success.

[@joshualopez3255]

Bro thank you for talking slowly. That helped me a lot 😂 I couldn’t find the low pressure side so I had to resort to good ol KZbin. Nice video

[@InsaneOil]

Thanks for the comment. It sounds like you had a successful repair.

[@brettwiedoff3123]

Now that’s exactly the instructions I needed. I like the highlights of items in the video too. Well done. Thanks!

[@InsaneOil]

Thank you for the comment. It is greatly appreciated.

[@t3angling575]

This is exactly what I needed. My 2001 F150 Supercrew is struggling in Texas early Summer heat. Some days it is as if she is blowing hot air. Sometimes I can feel cool air blowing and then all of the sudden I am sweating with A/C on high. I had the A/C serviced, new parts, etc., so wondering if there is a part of maybe the vents had come loose, etc.. Took it to a mech, he said he recharged, but did he? Who knows. When parts were replaced, it would damn near freeze you out of the truck, 4 years later, and it simply isn't enough in this heat. Will recharge and see if this fixes the issue, or if I have another issue. Thanks for an awesome video, simple, direct, to the point, exactly my dumb dumb self needs. No mech here, so learning as I go. Thanks again.

[@InsaneOil]

Thanks for the comment. Good luck with your repair. I found that I do this service every 2-3 years or so.

[@InsaneOil]

@@victorbaca8010 I don't know what that means.

[@FullMetalGrimm]

Agreed. Best tutorial ever. Well done.

[@pezzzdspencer]

Great Video! used it to recharge the AC on my 2001 Expedition. Thanks.

[@InsaneOil]

Thanks for the comment. Sounds like it was a success.

[@konglee7284]

Was wondering if you can do a broken spark plug video on this motor...? My #4 and 8 broke... People saided that it is easy but i never done one before.

[@bennettautorepairs]

That only happens with 3 valve engines, 10th gen’s have 2 valves. It’s not super difficult so I’ve heard, but you need a special tool

[@randydepue]

What an awesome video. Im a cfr part 83 subpart f certified technician (I do mostly resi though) so i knew what i was looking for, and still couldn't find the damn low side port, until i ran accross your video. Thank you so much. Very nicely done! 😂

[@InsaneOil]

Thanks for the comment. Glad the video helped.

[@danielwolff9136]

Thank you so much for sharing. I got my ac back up and running and it's cold now.

[@InsaneOil]

Thanks for the comment. Sounds like a successful repair.

[@jacusmc]

[@Ghostrider42047]

Dude thank you!!! Step by step is critical for newbies like my self trying to learn the trade

[@InsaneOil]

Thanks for the comment. Good luck with your repair.

[@Epic-pb1gq]

Thanks ! I have the same truck as you without the 4x4 sadly but I’m going to buy the AC PRO right now it’s so hot

[@InsaneOil]

Did this solve your problem?

[@brianh5853]

Top notch video....worked perfectly...great job!!!

[@InsaneOil]

Thanks for the comment… Sounds like it was a success

[@robertrodriguez9302]

Thanks for the video, awesome job! To the point.

[@InsaneOil]

Thanks for the comment. Good luck with your repair.

[@sacularts179]

Thank you so much for this video, I could not find the charging port for the life of me. This honestly pisses me off so much that some engineer really thought this was a good idea lol

[@InsaneOil]

Thanks for the comment. Glad the video helped.

[@dkeato]

Worked exactly as shown

[@InsaneOil]

Thanks for the comment. Good job on the repair.

[@stevehei8035]

Do you have any Mode 6 misfire videos? I have the exact same truck but in the color black. I have no code’s.

[@InsaneOil]

I don't as of yet have a video on this.

[@Norahhalon143]

My exact problem. Thank you!

[@InsaneOil]

Thanks for the comment. Good luck with your repair.

[@Nike-Slides]

Big fan of your videos. I have the same truck and you have helped me tremendously on tons of projects. I’m getting the same noise and my AC isn’t blowing cold like I want it to in this Texas heat. Is the noise still gone? I plan on grabbing a recharge soon. Thank you for the effort you put into these videos!

[@InsaneOil]

Yes, it took care of the noise which was coming from the compressor kicking on and off constantly.

[@MistahCE]

My A/C compressor (on the same model and year) does the same thing. I also have a burning smell coming from the engine after extended drives. Do you think both of these issues could be from the same source?

[@InsaneOil]

I would suspect different issues. Have you found a solution to either?

[@MistahCE]

@@InsaneOil What do you think those potential issues would be?

[@InsaneOil]

@@MistahCE With out seeing it, it is difficult to determine, but I think the A/C compressor issue is the system being low on refrigerant. The burning after long drives could be a brake caliper that is not fully disengaging, or it could be a rubbing belt, or it could be a small amount of fluid oozing from a gasket onto a hot surface.

[@bartleyruff5970]

I can tell you the best way

[@shaefreeman2768]

If the ac compressor is locked up it won't spin correct?

[@InsaneOil]

Correct. If the vehicle is turned off, you should be able to manually rotate that magnetic clutch.

[@disasterchannel9234]

You need to tell how to test high & low pressure switch ?

[@Pedro-xm7nf]

Thanks you save me some extra money👍

[@InsaneOil]

Thanks for the comment. Sounds like your repair was a success.

[@ufbunitingfaithfulbeliever7402]

[@hillbillywisdom777]

Good job

[@InsaneOil]

Thank you for your comment. Good luck with your repair.

[@danielmckeen2465]

Great video!!!🤓would not have found it!!!!

[@InsaneOil]

I've done this repair multiple times on these vehicles and I still need to watch my own video to find it.

[@vikkingooo]

I did the same procedure and everything seems to be working fine fuses ok ,fan clutch ok but no luck still blowing hot air

[@InsaneOil]

Does the A/C compressor engage when you turn it on?

[@vikkingooo]

I tried for a 3rd time and I think this time is working thanks for answering

[@bee2333]

My ac is completely empty after replacing my condenser. Can i charge my ac back using these cans?

[@InsaneOil]

According to this website, you can. scanneranswers.com/recharge-car-ac-after-compressor-replacement/

[@TheFirstSSJ]

Would this be the same on the 4.6 V8?

[@InsaneOil]

Should be a very similar process.

[@Nice_Vip]

Good

[@InsaneOil]

Thanks for the comment. Good luck with your repair.

[@ashershaffer1798]

What do I do if I don’t have a cap on there? Will it still work?

[@InsaneOil]

The little caps are just dust covers. You could blow a little compressed air to clean out any debris before performing the service.

[@MeaolaOrg4]

Thank you!!!

[@InsaneOil]

Thanks for the comment. Good luck with your repair.

[@alfredomendez5975]

[@jackson8458]

am I the only one who can't get the cap off you made it seem like it pops right off

[@InsaneOil]

Any luck getting the cap off?

[@adamsgarage2451]

I used a socket

[@travin4491]

one smart crack rock

[@InsaneOil]

I don't know what that means.

[@travin4491]

It's a learning process.
