I recently ran across your videos and yes I am now subscribed to it. I’m extremely impressed by your skills because 99. 9% of drivers and owners don’t have a freaking clue how to do much more than checking their oil. I’m a mechanic and I have my own mechanic shop but we mainly work on tugboats and barges much larger diesel engines and I also have another business with dump trucks excavators dozers and a couple tractors. I understand just how much work and headaches it takes to keep everything running and running smoothly. Good luck in the future

Good to see some interesting content on a Saturday AM. So, I have an idea. A couple actually. First, in the case of the AC compressor for the little additional time needed to create on your part perhaps expand on the theme. Find an old pooched compressor and tear it down to its innards then rebuild. Sell it after if you do not need the part. You are winning here because you have an incredible ability to explain the "how to" part of the business. Same goes for any system or part / repair. Everyone who watched this segment is better for the time invested. Second, you can do short segments. Easily done with light editing if any at all from your driving day. Keep it at 5 -7 minutes dropped as needed. More paying content. Both you and TwinSticks are setting the bar for this trailer trucking content.

I really like you chuck key for the drill press, is that original or did someone braze it together like that. You can get a refrigerant scale for probably 50 bucks and that is the most accurate way to charge a system. Charging based on pressure is actually extremely inaccurate.

What type of Freon did you use in your A/C system? My 1994 Peterbilt 379 ex-hd was equipped for the use of R12 Freon & was the last year it was used. I had the truck until 2017 & never had it converted to the 134 Freon. My truck being a 1994 still had the small condenser below the Air to Air Cooler. The shop that worked on my truck told me with the small A/C condenser that the 134 Freon would cool but not as good as the original R12 Freon. He still sold & worked with the R12 so I kept using it. I could keep cool on any warm day even if running against the sun. I also had very little trouble with the R12 leaking down compared to the newer trucks with the 134 Freon. The R12 wasn't cheap but boy did it COOL.

Here's a lesson for everyone on what not to do.. If It's the wrong compressor, send it back and get the correct one.. Modifying by drilling and tapping holes avoids warranty and remember, there needs to be o-rings to seal the system and o-rings usually fit into pre-shaped recesses that are made by the compressor manufacturer...Use a qualified tradesperson.
@Ezrider3592 жыл бұрын
warranties generally are not worth the paper there written on void the warranty boo hoo. the fittings used a copper crush washer not a o ring but that also doesn't mean anything, as far as use a qualified tradesperson, i don't work on other peoples stuff only my own but thanks anyway.
