As a younger guy who's still trying to learn auto mechanic repair with a grand marquis, your videos are amazing and incredibly helpful. They give me more confidence to tackle larger issues on my own. Thank you!

[@titolopez8066]

My compressor just went out. And I'm not surprised when I look up vids I find you. I got an 04 and I happy your doing so much content for the grand marquis man.

[@ArmEConDoesMinecraft]

This is one of the more detailed videos I found for this. Thank you so much for taking your time going through what I need to do! Thanks! Even though I don’t have a Grand Marquis, I have a Crown Vic Police Interceptor and it’s fairly similar if not identical for most things, and still helps!

[@laurensfundaytwl]

Perfect video man! Just what I needed to know for my 05 Grand Marquis

[@fjb666]

Thanks bro. Gonna Dave me some time by seeing it's easier to remove them lines while still attached to comp.

[@noconsentgiven]

Right on time as always XJ💪✌️❤️!!!

[@tampaafro]

Haven’t made the switch yet but thank you very much for your time. I’ll be doing this ASAP

[@RAMDCREATOR]

I'm glad I'm subscribed thanks man for the content

[@nayrzepol1592]

Great work bro. Thank you for the help.

[@acg2002us]

Overall a great to the point video. IMO only thing its missing is a video of you enjoying ice cold A/C after all your hard work.

[@koolmac1983]

If😅 Gl

[@greensnmachines]

Thanks for the video, I was able to do the compressor/dryer on my 05. Much different mounting studs for the compressor for this year than some of the others!

[@usmc20c]

Great job! Keep it up. Wasn't for sure what I was getting myself into. Appreciate your video.I agree with Austin Gilmer; let's see you enjoying that ice cold A/C.

[@bigggmustang73]

Great video thanks

[@donaldcary7259]

Thank you 🙏

[@sputnik4216]

Confusing at 3:00 .. disconnect harness plug.. then do it again underneath the car? My clutch only has one connector.. Oh well, I'll find out just can't WAIT to do this super fun nightmare job...

[@Squishmallows288]

What material should the O rings be? can I use the ones from the box that I fixed the environmental control unit with? Thanks for helping me with my 2005, I did the blend door and ac control and alternator.

[@hannstewart]

I just subscribed. I have a question. How do you reinstall a c clip back on axle shaft

[@patrickmcdonald3427]

As commented, got directed here looking on a vid 2 change the comp on my '04. Sub'd. Diagnosing a possible crank sensor, I remember-take the belt off, 3 bolts to remove the compressor, then 1 bolt for tbe sensoor on my 1st a '98 (a '97 Crown Vic between them). Obviously a lot more involved than simply removing the compressor- literally, and the accumulator/dryer.

[@addiktion2fitness]

When you say vent the refergerant in the intro what do you mean ??? Like when you disconnect the line refergerant it will come out ??? And i kno it might not be legal but is it safe to do it ?? About to replace it myself i got and 05 gs

[@patrickmcdonald3427]

Also, surviving the arson of my home in '18, are a pair of Mustang GT 4.6 heads...but need new cams and rebuilt due to fire-fighting water-caused rust. New TTY head bolts, gaskets, heater tube and seal under the intake, and GT intake lost. Was going to go on my Crown Vic. So, someday, use these heads. The '02-up has my preferred coil on plug, the previous coil pacs, but the older a higher compression ratio11.00:1, requiring premium, and, w/ headers making around the same hp as a Maurader 4 cam. Then add 3.73's.

[@guzforce]

My ac compressor is leaking a bit of oil. Can I just recharge with the gas cans and keep running till it breaks? Summer in Massachusetts is just a month.

[@kevinostrowski7376]

Naw man. The video was great. Thank you.

[@guzforce]

What are the links or part numbers for o-rings and tool?

[@MooDadawg]

Whats good professor jesse

[@J.D.Whiteye]

I hit a deer with my o6.. Merc .. air workd fine before the hit.... Condenser is bowed in lol bad .. but still running. Same rad. . do you think I'd change the condenser it will work. Trying to buy just a condenser. 💰 Is a issue

[@crayshaunhenderson1265]

do i just change the compressor or do i change that other thing you was talking about as well

[@pochololopez1307]

My ac pulley isn’t spinning would I have to change the whole compressor ? My ac has not been working for a while

[@bwells0822]

Will this work on a 03 crown Victoria

[@choppa24k]

I'm trying to remove the AC clutch on a 2005 Lincoln Town Car but it seems to be stuck on the shaft. Any advice?

[@user-or3no5ce3f]

Bro do all the mgm takes 7ounces and do we add some in the accumulator ?

[@mcknifed]

I'm too old for this crap so it's off to the shop. You sold me not to even try - good.

[@jimhannon2154]

Is it possible to change the clutch on it or just bite the bullet

[@carolehale-kipling7408]

Wondering what the weight of it is because of shipping costs?

[@wardmontgomery9259]

Yo - Jesse besides the VDP I have a 99 Grand Marquis ! I was jumping another car off of it for about 10 minutes and the wiring loom started smoking from maybe the tranny ? I can’t see where the smoke is coming from but it’s as if someone is under the car sparking a Marlboro ! Guessing I should start pulling fuses until the smoke stops ?

[@ThePursuitofHappiness1988]

I’m guessing the process is identical for the Crown Victorias as well?

[@keegan449]

Yes, and Lincoln Town Cars.

[@TheJGOV]

how long did it take to do this?

[@Chedr89]

Will this work for a 91?

[@carolehale-kipling7408]

What is the weight of the air compressor

[@codybrown6534]

If I'm hearing a squealing noise from the pulley. Only when I turn the AC on, would that mean a faulty pulley, bearing, or compressor? And is it possible to just replace the pulley without replacing the compressor?

[@cl4rkbeats]

I got the same problem, my pulley grinding against the clutch. I was hoping I could just change the pulley or if there a bearing just replace it.

[@tonycotta6602]

great Video but the lines at the end of the Video look to be brand new not like the old ones you took off.Was their a problem with the old lines.

[@dedrickbrown5564]

will this be the same way with a 1996 crown victoria?

[@Skeeter_Dee]

think so its fs10 style

[@deandregreenwood1308]

Can you remove the line without a disconnect tool?

[@West7bigups]

That would be a no. Not without damaging the line. Unless you can find something that fits EXACTLY. Quick disconnects aren't expensive.

[@Chchchchchivo]

Orifice tube?

[@franceskeith4934]

used the cheaper by pass thing still not cold

[@keonteelomax1050]

Why u didn't vaccum the air out the system

[@XJJesse]

I didn’t show this step but I did mention to take it to a shop so they can do it for you.

[@elijahpatterson998]

Yo I took the clutch off the compressor (I didn’t take the clutch apart)and 14 metal balls fell out and I have no idea what they belong. I have a 2003 mercury grand Marquis.

[@infinity3jif]

Jeez that compressor fat😂

[@jking1286]

No Vacuum on system before adding freon?!?😳😳

[@jaivonphillips5346]

Where are the "four mounting bolts" on the AC compressor? I see the 3 but can't locate the 4th

[@savageazzligee5970]

I found out there's only three bolts I feel dumb

[@oamraldfqq821]

ياغالي انتبه من الاغاني انها حرام

[@dcarroll221ify]

Mines smells bad just started smh
