Make Your AC Colder with this Mod | 1995 Ford F150

[@borderlineiq]

No one can say you're not doing your bit to fight global warming. Nice tip. Thank you.

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Thanks Jason!🤙 Good to hear from you!

[@zh9119]

WOW, 42 degF it's an excellent supply air temp, almost freezing temp. Thanks for giving me ideas how to replace the insulation. I never took the time to check how to do it.

[@TheMinuteMasters]

It sure is and I know guys with even colder AC! You’re welcome!🤙

[@oldsoulgarage2982]

I'm glad to see you did this mod I suggested to you. And im very happy to see that the vent Temps dropped a few degrees and it was proven via a thermometer. I forgot to test it when I did it on my car and im happy to see it was not just my mind telling me the ac was colder lol. Keep up the good work Stevie!

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Hey thanks man!🤙 I really appreciate you recommending this mod to me. It’s a hit so far and I’m loving the noticeable and scientifically colder AC.

[@jasonkreps6434]

I did this and saw a significant improvement. I also insulated the liquid line from condenser to keep liquid from flashing back to gas before the orifice. You could also insulate the accumulator. I used a reflective wrap similar to what you did to evaporator. Got 35 degree air now

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Nice! This is a cheap awesome mod and I’m glad you guys like it. Fill me in, what part is the accumulator?

[@jasonkreps6434]

@TheMinuteMasters the round can thing. Basically anything that sweats, insulate.

[@averyalexander2303]

Insulating the accumulator makes sense, but why would you insulate the liquid line? Seems to me you'd want it to dissipate as much heat as possible? The liquid line is normally quite warm relative to the ambient temp, so it shouldn't absorb heat unless it runs close to something hot and it doesn't on these.

[@nramrez]

I used did this to mine, actually worked pretty well. And it looks better than before. (My AC is an old r12 system filled with air duster)

[@nickpanhead7209]

Nice neat job Steve, came out very clean looking, the way you have your vacuum lines and the new insulation. Plus you have colder AC +++

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Thanks Nick! I appreciate it!🤙 I’m happy the way it turned out.

[@mikerock148]

Absolutely love this I'm going to do this mod tomorrow.

[@Skitter302]

I'm going to have to try this. I have a Bronco that runs cool not cold. Would make for a good test rig.

[@TheMinuteMasters]

You should. I’d be curious if you get the same results. Plus your in HVAC.

[@marks93cobra]

I believe that sleeve is supposed to go where the 2 hangars are to prevent chafing of the return line.

[@joshmiller7870]

This is the way.... Ford also did this to the heater core hose by the soup can. You are 100 correct. This is the way...

[@TheMinuteMasters]

good to know. It’s never been under the hangers.

[@greattribulation1388]

You should look into move bumpers pretty solid stuff looks great and won’t break you

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Those are cool! But I’m pretty set on getting the prerunner bumper from Desolate Motorsports😁

[@greattribulation1388]

@@TheMinuteMasters oh man I know, I’m loving that prerunner bumper. Next up for me is 4:10 gears for my front diff. I’ve already done the back.

[@mackendw]

this is on my to-do list for my 87 f150 with the 5.0L....thx.

[@dylanheyl]

That's awesome! Definitely going to do this one. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Thanks man!🤙

[@terrybaptist795]

Awesome video as always stevie great work.

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Thanks Terry!🤙 I appreciate it.

[@omar_padilla]

Great job! I can't wait to do it on mine thank you and your viewer. I see that you added carpet very nice! You ever consider upgrading to a cluster with a tach?

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Thanks man!🤙 Yup I did upgrade to carpet. I’m the future I may go back to vinyl. I would definitely like a tach cluster. The correct one for my truck are hard to find though.

[@ashadowedsniper4619]

Could ya do a video on the power window conversion? There’s like 2 other vids but they’re very poorly recorded/explained. I know you would do an amazing job!!

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Currently, I don’t have any plans for a power window conversion but I’ll keep that in mind.

[@mikerock148]

Are you able to do a video on doors that are sagging? My passenger door has trouble closing and i haven't see on any good videos to replace the pin or fix it.

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Unfortunately I replaced my pins before I started making videos for the channel. However, I have a few door issues I hope to get around too that might help ya out.🤙

[@indyogbpurdue9966]

Neat. Thanks for doing all this stuff.

[@scottfowler3427]

Nice work and thank you for sharing your positivity!👍

[@TheMinuteMasters]

You’re welcome!

[@jerrettbrown]

Also a dirty orfice tube and clogged dryer could make a difference if replaced

[@TheMinuteMasters]

I’ll have to look into this further. Another area of the AC worth improving.

[@twofacedname4427]

Could having aluminum foam pipe insulation work a little bit better then regular foam

[@TheMinuteMasters]

It could. I went with what was readily available.

[@estebangomez805]

Appreciate your videos, thanks

[@maverickhanson3499]

Did you get 6 feet in length for the 3/4 inch piece?

[@TheMinuteMasters]

I bought 6 foot lengths of both 1/2 and 3/4. That’s the only lengths they had.

[@journeyman1040]

Awesome! 👍🏻 Here in Texas with 3 digits the past 70 days (103*) anything would help for cold cool temp. Thanks 🙏 again Stev.

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Damn that’s hot! Definitely! You’re welcome!🤙

[@1320J]

Did the 95 get r134a? I'm over in Texas with a 91 f150 with absolutely no AC, still cant get enough of driving it.

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Yup! I have R134a

[@maduenodiego]

Cool. Thank you.

[@jimgentleman6609]

Thank you !

[@Roberto-gp3yx]

What will bring down the cabin temp is also having tinted windows … all states are different but for the windshield and two front windows 70% ceramic tint is great make sure it’s the 80% grade heat reduction film and go as dark as you want on the rear windows The ac on my car is at 40degrees and that’s without this small modification all I do is service the ac yearly

[@TheMinuteMasters]

I had ceramic tint installed almost two years ago and that did make a huge difference.

[@albertoacosta6788]

Cool tip I’ll do this to my 96f250 and 89bronco No AC on the 68 ranger just roll windows

[@iamgriff]

Are those just replacement springs with the same ride height? Or are those aftermarket with a lift? How does the truck ride now? is there a noticeable difference?

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Those will be 2 inch lift coils. I actually haven’t had a chance to do anything with the lift kit yet. I probably won’t get around to the lift kit until October or November.

[@iamgriff]

I am thinking of installing 4WD stock springs, and leaf’s in the back. MOOG parts, but I would like to fit a set of 35”x15”s I walked into for super super super cheap! My Ferd 250 is only 2wd, but I still want the 35’s for the clout😂

[@TheMinuteMasters]

@@iamgriff that could work!

[@iamgriff]

@@TheMinuteMasters I managed to squeeze a 305/60/18 under a stock height F250 (6600 GVW) with a set of 3/8 spacers. I have the same offset rim in 35x15x18” I am hoping they will go!

[@chrismaffei4214]

I actually did that as well, but I need to redo it

[@night9836]

Do you know what the max head pressure is supposed to be? I have a 92 5.8 and I think mine is around 55. Reason I'm asking is because my AC does not get Cold, its cool and while sitting it gets hot. I have replaced everything except the condenser. Also, there is not difference between normal and max AC for my truck. what could be wrong? Thoughts on anyone?

[@r3alfish]

The low and high side pressures are dependent on ambient temp. The highest they will get should be vehicle at ambient temp with outside air on. There are charts for R134a and other refrigerants online that will tell you the range for the high and low side and they should fall into the range specified for the ambient temp.

[@shanestrains2849]

Make sure your fan clutch is good, also make sure your recirculation vacuum pod is closing when set on max air ( it's on top of the heaterbox )

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Unfortunately I don’t know the max head pressure. The answers below are good and worth chasing down.

[@markk3652]

Change out the condenser. The small passages in the internal tubes clog up over time. Once that happens, refrigerant flow is slowed down which affects the overall ability of the system to properly cool.

[@edmundoguerra315]

that is great I will go to do it

Origin to insertion

[@r3alfish]

My dad did this on any car that had a large amount of metal tubing exposed on the low side. I was later told that this can cause freezing and liquid pooling of refrigerant in the tunes so, I haven't done it, however, I haven't tested any data on it and our ac was always cold In all our vehicles and I don't recall it ever failing. Edit: I'm referring to him doing it on vehicles that didn't come with it from factory at all.

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Interesting. So the factory allow for no insulation to ensure freezing and pooling wouldn’t occur.

[@WalterMelons]

I’ve laid tons of pipe. XD

[@856Dropout]

This premier bs drives me nuts.

[@nickengel5971]

That's pretty "cool" Steve..

[@trustme7731]

System pressures should always be checked when making modifications. You didn't.

[@TheMinuteMasters]

I don’t understand. I add insulation to a pipe and now I need to check system pressures? How so?

[@trustme7731]

@@TheMinuteMasters You changed system temperatures which changes system pressures.
