[@stacyjourdain4435]

Man, I understand your frustration. Thanks for showing us your problems. It's definitely helping us out. Hopefully we can learn from each other. I'm convinced when you mess with things half the time you end up making it worse.

[@NoHalfAss]

100% bro. I tell people all the time, I love my truck and what I’ve done to it, but if I could go back I would have left everything stock 🤣

[@dannysavagedraftguru]

Even tuner exhaust air🎉filter ? Just cause I’m looking to pull the plug on a mint 2001 f 350 all done up head to toe for 13,500 same as yours but short bed and not such big lift

[@NoHalfAss]

@@dannysavagedraftguru Air filter and exhaust and tuner I recommend for sure. Other than that I would probably just upgrade things “as needed”. In other words if the turbo goes out, replace it with a better one, injectors go out, get better ones, etc. BUT that’s only because I’ve never been the type to really enjoy automechanical work. I love my truck and the build it’s become but I don’t enjoy working on it 😂 if you like working on your vehicles and changing parts, and doing upgrades is fun for you then go for it!

[@johnarnold5739]

Hell Yea happy to see you making videos again i remember watching your build, keep fighting the good fight.

[@NoHalfAss]

Glad you enjoy them man🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@Fred_Durst1]

Cody, there is likely a shim/washer behind the A/C clutch plate. Take the washer out and then test the A/C. If it works, you dont need a new compressor.

[@NoHalfAss]

Hey bro, thanks for the info! After I finished changing these hoses I actually popped the A/C pulley off and I didn’t see any spacers! I saw another video and the guy had like 3, so maybe the previous owner already removed them in mine? Crazy, but I think I’ll just have to purchase a new pulley/ A/C clutch

[@robertfisk8344]

Another tip while you have that hose off take the other one off take your garden hose run water through it one way then do it the other way through the other hose flush that heater core out real good just flush the whole coolant system as well cuz the heater core does get clogged up and they start to leak as well and you don't want that you want your coolant system always real clean cuz the heater cores do brake its not fun it gets pretty wet inside the cab of your truck just a tip

[@ShawnH-kt4re]

I get 7-8 degrees difference at the vents here in az. The bypass valve is worth it but I have had several of them go bad and leak coolant. Buy the ford brand valve

[@NoHalfAss]

Good to know! Definitely don’t want the extra hassle of having to replace them but nice to know they work!

[@nicholasmarioncunstruction]

You should do a 15+ front clip swap that would be a cool video.

[@NoHalfAss]

That would be crazy! My 6.0 had that and it looked pretty cool. I’ve never done it myself but I’m sure I could do it. I’ll have to look into it 🤘🏻

[@randybarr7043]

Bro glad to see you back

[@NoHalfAss]

🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@josepharagon8259]

Very good reminder, I’ve noticed the faint smell of sweet tuna… ( antifreeze) on occasion this month…. It just may be my heater hoses… and since I’m going to Albuquerque, maybe I’ll replace them regardless🤨☝🏼👍🏽🤠 Thanks bud….your beard has gotten so long…. Wow

[@NoHalfAss]

Hahaha thanks man! And hope this video helped!

Been a while but, good to see you uploaded again

[@NoHalfAss]

Thanks bro!

[@DeepSouthBayouDiesel]

@@NoHalfAss 👍

[@DaveofAllTrades75]

That’s why I went with the other mod for the AC yours basically works by just blocking the heater Core line which builds pressure like you said which can potentially cause a blowout the one I got when the vacuum triggers the valve instead it loops the water through With two hose connections from heater core when it’s in normal use it’s open and runs through the heater core when you trigger the valve with max AC it opens other hoses connection and sends it back through the system so you’re still allowing fluid transfer without building pressure. I would recommend you switch to that one and if I remember right the price is about the same I can’t remember where I got it if it was Riff Raff or some other diesel site.

[@NoHalfAss]

Good to know bro! Thanks!

[@Diesel_ftw]

I wouldn’t put that heater shutoff back on, just another leak waiting to happen. I don’t have one, and my ac works great

[@NoHalfAss]

Good to know! I think I’m just going to start with the clutch assembly and see if that helps 🤘🏻

[@ThreeOhTwoBOSS]

Maybe I need to do this too. Before summer haha. I never even thought about those hoses. Now it’s all I can think about. lol

[@NoHalfAss]

Yeah I’m glad I caught it before they went out and left me stranded!

[@robertfisk8344]

check your fan clutch it's possibly not pulling enough air through the condenser it'll cause it not to get cool I went through the whole AC system on my truck until I figured out it was the fan clutch the whole time because it's strange it won't overheat the truck when it doesn't engage as well but it does get a little warmer when not working properly and that valve you put on it doesn't create more pressure when completely shut ❤because where you cut it off the pressure comes from your water pump so it flows in that direction it's just an old hose and started leaking cuz you're moving it around when you put that thing on because if you take that valve off you can actually blow on it and it lets a little bit of water passed not much so I think it's just an old house I don't have that valve on my truck and my AC is pretty cool without it and I live in Florida I don't trust them because they're plastic and they do break and they start leaking and I'm speaking from experience on that one let's just say the juice ain't worth the squeeze having that valve and you get stranded I would check your fan clutch and start with that if that checks out define take your condenser out and rinse it not talking about the one on the front of the truck one in the air box under your hood it's not very hard to take out there's a KZbin video might be really dirty because it's an old truck best of luck

[@NoHalfAss]

Thank you for the info Robert! I was curious about the pressure. I wasn’t completely sure how that valve worked so o didn’t know if it made the pressure build so thank you for that! I will definitely start with the fan clutch and see if that helps! It’s been awhile since we talked, I hope you’re doing well!

[@robertfisk8344]

@@NoHalfAss yes it has been a while old friend good to see that you're back and I saw the video of your fight and that was pretty cool man I'm really impressed with that I also too I'm into martial arts it was pretty impressive you trained hard for that fight I can tell I definitely didn't think you were going to change the pace like that towards the end I guess that's called a bluff you were looking like you were getting tired and then all of a sudden it's like a switch went off I did not see that coming like okay time to wrap it and all of a sudden you annihilated that dude good stuff

[@NoHalfAss]

@@robertfisk8344 hahaha thanks for noticing bro! I definitely saved some energy for the end🤘🏻

[@robertfisk8344]

@@NoHalfAss I don't think he saw that coming either he definitely did not look very happy about that loss so yeah keep up the good work I see a lot of hart and determination and having those two things right there are your greatest weapon you can always reach out to me if you have any questions I'm not a Master tech I only know the things that I went through with my truck so I hate to see it happened to somebody else when it can be prevented I'm pretty much changed every single component on my air conditioning system tell I figured out what it was anyways keep me posted good luck and have a safe camping trip old friend

[@NoHalfAss]

@@robertfisk8344 thank you Robert!

[@robertfisk8344]

What is the temperature get to at idle to siting not moving to be honest 210 211 moving on a highway on a warm day with no load it should be a little bit lower that definitely means your fan clutch is going out I'm about 90% sure that's what's wrong with your AC

[@NoHalfAss]

That’s good to know! I honestly couldn’t tell you for sure what temperature it gets to when idleing but I know it’s no where near 200°. Maybe 150° ? I didn’t even know the fan clutch failing could cause much of a difference on the engine oil temperature. I took the clutch plate off to see if I had the spacers inside and maybe I could remove a spacer to help the clutch engage better and there wasn’t any spacers at all, so I’m thinking the previous owner already removed them.

[@robertfisk8344]

@@NoHalfAss yeah when the fan clutch goes out it's hard to notice it won't overheat but it'll be warmer than normal but it will definitely affect the AC performance if you have gauges you can check it that way too hook them up and if the high pressure side is anywhere over 150 to 200 250 at idol that means it's your fan clutch cuz it's not transferring the heat out of your condenser with the fan cuz there's no flow of air that's another way you can check

[@jullian8907]

question, i plan on doing 2010 style mirrors on my 7.3 how did you get the blinkers and everything to hook up and work

[@NoHalfAss]

Honestly mine aren’t hooked up bro. But I’m sure there’s something on KZbin about it 🤘🏻

[@jullian8907]

@@NoHalfAss ill be sure to look lol, either way atleast you got style points. i would like to say i love that your always quick to respond

@@jullian8907 I try bro. I appreciate you watching my vids and commenting. The truck already had the updated mirrors when I bought it so I never messed with the wiring, but if I ever replaced them I’d probably try to get the blinkers tied in.
