Have to love designers that actually put A/C valves in easy access open locations. I'm guessing the previous fill didn't include the compensation for the hoses and was that bit low as a result.

Viscous Clutch Failure sounds like a punk rock band from the 1970s.

[@mitchelloates9406]

My 2005 Jeep Liberty CRD (Common Rail Diesel) has a 2.8 L inline four turbocharged Italian diesel engine. So, besides the radiator, it has an intercooler, a shared A/C condenser and trans oil cooler, an electric aux cooling fan behind the front grille to help the A/C system - and an engine driven viscous clutch fan - and the fan was this heavy five-bladed metal beast that looked like it came off of a John Deere farm tractor. Myself and a couple other CRD owners did a little checking - and it turned out that the 11 bladed nylon fan that Chrysler put on the 3.7 L gas version of the Liberty, had the same dimensions, bolt pattern, and used the same fan clutch, as that metal hand chopper on our diesels. So, we ended up replacing the factory metal fan and clutch, with a Hayden Heavy Duty clutch and the 11 bladed nylon fan from the gas version. One gent had an EGT gauge installed, and he said that with that 11 bladed nylon fan, it cut in half the amount of time it took to cool down his exhaust temps before shutting it down after a drive. And that it gave noticeably improved performance with the A/C system as well.

[@patrickdiehl6813]

Caveat Emptor! This video is a prime example of why a pre-purchase inspection is worth every penny spent. Not only does it give you a through understanding of the vehicles real condition, it also gives you leverage in getting a realistic price for the purchase if you decide its worth buying. Knowledge is power👊 "Shading the Horse" LOL🤣

[@kevincurry4735]

Love the driving into the go pro. Reminds me of the movie Spaceballs when Dark helmet walks into the camera. 😁

[@spelunkerd]

You've got me thinking about whether I've missed a failed viscous fan clutch in the past. Another thing on the list of possible causes of engine overheating, poor AC performance, and noise.

[@RainmanRaysRepairs]

Easily overbooked! Made the same mistake several times in the past

[@groosbro1]

My Chevy Trailblazer has an electrically controlled viscous fan clutch and in warm weather it sounds like turbine for a few minutes until the fluid warms up. Doesn't do it in the winter, go figure.

[@RobTheSquire]

On my dad's current car it used to come with a viscous fan from the factory, but at some point one of the owners removed it and put in an electric one as Triumph Stags were well known for running hot at times.

[@level1804]

It’s an old common fault that is easily overlooked. The viscus coupling can throw you down a rabbit hole that can send you back to KISS. Keep-It-Simple-Stupid. Over complicating your train of thought is frustrating and hopefully funny in the end.

[@davidrasch3082]

I appreciate this type of vehicle inspection. Gives me pointers when next I shop for a car but also things I can at least check to the best of my ability so if I need a professional mechanic I can describe what I think is happening while NEVER telling the mechanic what to do.

[@kellyrjohnson7693]

"lotta rust here." Laughs in illinoisan I was honestly thinking hey, this truck doesn't look so bad.

[@StormsparkPegasus]

Will people eventually learn that you do pre-purchase inspections and not post-purchase? Unless you have enough knowledge to determine the condition of the vehicle yourself (not necessarily do the work yourself) it should always be pre-purchase.

[@boggy7665]

There's a new one born every minute. Otoh, does the crazy cost of new vehicles result in there being a stronger case for cost-effectively rehabbing of stuff like this with numerous problems? Except for the frame/body rust, that is.

I see HVAC guys changing valves with a tool that I liken to an airlock. I could be wrong but it seems to allow a changeout while the system remains pressurized. It screws on and has a very long protruding handle which appears to unscrew the valve.

[@MonkeyJedi99]

Oh, missing rubber vibration isolator between the frame bracket and radiator. Just noticed it when you were changing the high side AC valve. Given the new radiator, I would be checking for all the rubber isolators.

[@drewpancoast8340]

Love your videos Ray. My daughter and I watch them together. She loves it. She is eight years old lol. Anyhow. Have to call you out on your leaking a shrader valve. Although it’s probably leaking. They are designed with a spring and that spring will not overcome the vacuumed pressure. It’s designed to seal with the pressure of the internal gas pressure

[@johndesaavedra1040]

I check my fan clutch once a year. Still lots of resistance. AC good, and steady engine temp at low speed. By the way, we would call that a really clean truck in Ohio, except for the oil dribbles. Some call that self-rust-proofing.

[@Biffo1262]

I was always told a viscous fan clutch SHOULD spin freely with just the slightest of resistance until the engine reached running temp and then if it DIDN'T spin with the engine then the clutch has failed to engage correctly. All my old viscous fans seemed to operate that way.

[@stans5270]

True. By it spinning freely before it gets warm, it helps speed up the engine coming up to operating temp. If you know, you can see errors in certain diagnoses.

[@CrimeVid]

[@johnmchardy1229]

I think the basics are ok. I bought a 2002 4 cyl Toyota Camry and did the EGR setup and water pump bits and pieces timing belt was already replaced. Radiator was bad 5 years later car is excellent and runs trouble free now 350,000 k's. Uses 1 litre oil between 5000 k oil changes and after work on EGR and water pump and so on all good. Uses no coolant at all. Glad I bought the car simple no bells and whistles. Only 1 engine light on when I put the timing belt on after water pump replacement. Was one tooth out simple fix tighten belt before releasing tension and that's it. Did that engine light out. Aftr seeing the number of potential bells and whistles on modern cars not for me. I live in a tourist town in Aus near Melbourne at least one a week I drive past modern cars stopped and exasperated owners wandering around on the phone. Say no more. 😬😃

[@qwaszxpolkmncvb]

Those trucks are great. Downside is they came from the factory slow and with oil leaks. There is nothing like a $900.00 valve cover gasket replacement. They do however have a tool that can get plug #6 out without removing half the intake.

[@donw3912]

That blob of silicone on the front main/pan area is a wee excessive LOL. Hopefully the oil coated parts come off easily being pre soaked:-) Given the list of stuff that appears to need to be attended to hopefully the customer got a great deal on it. It looks clean for the most part...I can't wait to see part 2 Ray;-)

You’re not kidding that those leaks are labor intensive. I’ve fixed all the same leaks on mine. This one is worse then the last one you fixed as it’s a 4x4 and the diff has to come out to reseal the pan.

[@josephchamberlain9129]

Good call on the fan clutch. I would have missed it.

[@jcnikoley]

Based on what it should cost to do a front seal and a rear main seal, fix all the other leaks, and the condition of the vehicle, the cost of the repairs would be more than it’s worth.

The way that fan clutch had such a death grip on that water pump pully has me doubting that this thing ever got that timing belt change that sticker is claiming it got.

This is just in case Ray should happen ton see this comment. @ 15:41 of the video, it shows that the bracket that holds / secures the Radiator and Fan Shroud, {Left side / Driver' side} is missing the rubber grommet / rubber bushing , that center's the Radiator to the bracket.

Just pulled the transmission from a 06 civic without a lift. It's sitting on 4 jack stands under the front end with the front tires laying under the rockers. The engine bay is way too small so I had to drop it out the bottom with the subframe. With everything from the firewall forward floating 2 feet in the air it feels super sketchy every time I have to get under it. Good times.

[@thecuss6817]

I have a 1998 and a 2004 Nissan Frontier (both 2.4 engine though, 5-speeds, 2WD), and have replaced the fan clutch on both, twice on the 1998; I made an extra long 10mm combination wrench to get to the four fan clutch nuts. My fan clutches came off readily (Arizona) after removing the 4 nuts. My daughter had a '98 Pathfinder (same color !!!) with that engine and changing #6 spark plug was a little challenging; its distributor went bad too. I had leaking factory power steering hose clamps on my 1998 Frontier.

[@gaiustacitus4242]

Safety is very important and always comes first. Many years ago my brother and his mechanic buddy were replacing a transmission. They'd used cinder blocks for supports instead of jack stands as they'd done many times before. Well, this time the hydraulic jack failed and the cinder blocks collapsed under the weight. My younger brother panicked and came running for me. Had I not been around, Tommy would have been crushed to death instead of just ending up with injuries which were serious but not life threatening. BTW, never rely on people who are prone to panic or squeamish at the sight of serious injury. It's best to have stoic men around you.

I'm no AC tech but when you purge the system isn't it under vacum? If it is, it's a negavive pressure trying to balance itself by letting air into the system. The valve is there to keep system in positive pressure state not the otherway around. Please corect me if I'm wrong.

Concerning those comments this vehicle is not worth repairing. I disagree. Given the cost of new computers on wheels today, for the equivalent of a few months payments spent on repairs this can be made a serviceable vehicle. $4K down on a 2023 Frontier equivalent financed for 60 months is a $658 monthly payment. You can do $1,974 worth of repairs for the equivalent of 3 months payments ( with 57 more to go on the new one). Not everyone is made of money.
