Watching these videos gets me pump. I got 2014 SIERRA AT4 IN THE SHOP that's been giving me hell since Feb 15 when I got it in. We on April 18 JESUS CHRIST I JUST WANNA GET DONE. Been waiting for parts and looking for parts to welding and cutting. Its Grind. Watching your build has thought me to take time and do it rigth. Much love.

[@jbar7243]

Great series of videos! Very impressed with your knowledge and skill level while doing mostly all this work on your own. The edits and music complimented everything nicely. Well done!

[@kickit59]

Good to see the F350 getting close to being done! Great job on the maintenance!

[@NJGhost34]

Dave no worries about the words. I have had invisalign teeth straighteners for months. I know the frustration. Great video as always

[@masonpyles6506]

Hey there I had the same thing happen to my 2018 superduty I had it a broken wire on the chassis that lead to the water/fuel sensor ended up having to drop the fuel tank to find this problem but just traced the wire and found it might be your problem it about drove me nuts but finally fixed it completely. But love the build keep it up!! And FYI my truck just had 5,500 miles on it must’ve happened on assembly line!

[@mrmiscast]

Dave, please don't let the bitching, whining, KZbin trolls give you any crap about anything. It's amazing how some people can be so insecure in their own lives that they spend the time to be overly critical of someone else. I'm not talking about the people just asking a question, or wondering why, but those who are still in 5th grade making fun of someone else. I enjoy the videos on the truck. Would still love to have that cost breakdown, but no rush. You've done a great job!

[@grande521]

Another great video man!

[@punkinsgarageandpaint8299]

Run your fuel low. Then drop the tank and empty it. Put the tank back in and add fuel. Reset the fault and see if it comes back on.

[@Robert8455]

Glad it did not catch fire man. Interesting design on the fuel filters.

[@dunk4373]

Drain all the fuel out of the tank including the primary filter again. Then refill with fresh fuel prime system then see how you go ! I also think that a small bottle of metho put in the tank can help it will evaporate any moisture

[@randywhitaker68]

Fd 50 build. Good job.

[@mikedillon6233]

Don't forget Dave when you swing by the Ford parts store by darn fire extinguisher! The stupid thing will be the cheapest and best tool you ever bought when things are going south and on fire! LOL!

[@stevenkovacsi5848]

Good job hope it all works out.

[@Mebob2001]

i dare say u have a wiring issue with the WIF sensor, seems like the wires are shorted together to cause the issue, inspect the wiring harness for damage from accident

[@yofrentzen]

Nice video Junky D!

[@Junkyard_Dave]

thanks

[@Sbrillo43]

11:36 cheers man! : D

[@Edenssunlight]

You are supposed to cycle it 6 times before starting man... Lol

[@Mike-cp1ft]

No doubt. Fuel is what lubricates the hpfp, running it dry is not good. Pump comes apart you're looking at monster repair bill.

[@wallaceloper637]

I would have changed the a/c compressor the first time around glad that it did little damage. There got to be some kind of additive to get rid of water (small amount ).

[@Blondell54]

Those blue stabilizer bushings will tighten up when compressed in the bracket.

[@robertlytch2398]

About the water in your tank change where you buy your diesel fuel. There can be water in the tank at the station. I know because I used to drive a gasoline tanker for 35 years I am retired now. Try to buy your fuel at truck stops Flying A or the Iron Skillet for example. Your truck is probably right about the water. It cost the stations money to have the water removed from their tanks.

[@greggmcdaniel7693]

once the water in fuel light has been on awhile it sets a code in the pcm that needs to be cleared. at least that all i've run into at the dealership i work for. hope it helps

[@deschene12]

When recharging the a/c system since you pulled a vacuum on the system it pulled the oil out of the compressor you need to add oil back into the system. That's why the compressor caught on fire it wasn't getting any lubrication.

[@sbeezynukka]

Tyler Pedigo when I did a compressor swap on 2 of my vehicles I pulled vacuum on them to get the systems ready for a charge not much oil came out, less than an 1/4 of an ounce, if the compressor had no oil there’s a failsafe in place for it, the same failsafe that won’t let it come on due to low pressure in the system aka no refrigerant

[@deschene12]

@@sbeezynukka there is no failsafe for the amount of oil in the system there would be no way for a system to sense that. Besides debris in the system, which is possible from the wreck, low oil is the only other way that a compressor can seize the way his did.

[@sbeezynukka]

A bad bearing could do that!

[@Dave_Boyer]

Pulling a vacuum, doesn’t pull the oil from the system.

[@Garth2011]

Putting a vacuum on the system doesn't remove the oil but replacing parts, especially the condenser would take a lot of the free flowing oil away to coat the insides of the condenser etc. I doubt it was enough to starve the compressor enough to lock up that quick so, it likely had a problem from sitting and exposed to the air if it wasn't plugged or it was on its way out. He didn't say how long he had the system engaged so its hard to figure on this end.

[@brianbarron5055]

and it burns burns burns that burnin ring of fire

[@Gantzz321]

would have clean out the Brake Cleaner with some diesel so it does not eat your new gasket out.

[@ico0113]

Hell with people’s sarcasm complaining on the misspelled words no one it’s never satisfied 🤬 but all in all great 👍 work the truck is amazing AA+++

[@JamesAllen-hn7zb]

I agree brother. Dave has just tore down and rebuilt a "complex" truck with all its little nuances.... and I will bet the grammar police have never changed their own oil.

[@biggmatt9424]

Dang it dave.we have the same luck

[@MrGeroth]

Awesome

[@JamesAllen-hn7zb]

Dave... I am brand new to viewing your channel. As a matter of fact, I binge watched from Part 1 to present. In a nut shell.... you....ROCK!. Very impressive patience coupled with a skill set envied by all those that have to go to Ford just to change their oil. Hint to your significant other.... Get Dave some nice work light stands for his birthday. Suggestion, when you do your after-action-report on this project, include the time for camera work (setup, editing, etc) and subtract it from actual rebuild. I am curious as to the mission/mentoring video ratio. Outstanding work and an impressive memory.

[@Dave_Boyer]

“They sell them to people that don’t know what they are doing” as a Refrigeration Mechanic, that made me laugh...I’m kinda surprised it’s 134A.

Did you put oil in the compressor when you put everything new back on there

[@leedavies9309]

hi dave could there be a break in the wiring causing the water in fuel light to come on

[@rcdogmanduh4440]

Enjoy your repair of this truck, sad so many shit turds commenting. If no reset for the water fault try plugging in the sensor you pulled into the cable then put that sensor into a cup of clean fuel, leave new sensor in the filter housing.

[@umargmail9820]

Man you r a tough guy indeed. I watched all your video and I hardly noticed your words how come people are paying attention on your word rather than the watching the excellent job that you are doing so far. Don't bother. Focus on the project.

[@blazerich3332]

Number 1

[@austinmorris8277]

I'm a Ford guy but man they make things complicated what's wrong with a couple spin on filters

[@jimmyaber5920]

The under truck filter has a lot more paper. Paper is about the best defense against water captured in diesel. Older high sulfur diesel didn't emulsify and hide the water but ULSD does.

[@Garth2011]

Used to be a Ford guy, they lost me many years ago. They are expensive to maintain, parts are pricey, Ford could suddenly stop manufacturing your model vehicle at any time too. They do that often (Tbird, LS, Ford 500, Taurus and a few others).

[@justintaylor6980]

Live the super duty videos but please put a grill on that thing it’s killing me. Gorgeous gorgeous truck you did great job and then no grill kills it.

[@Superduty_59]

I know this isn't your first rodeo Dave but I didn't see you coat that big rectangular o-ring with fuel or not. I see techs do this in my line of work on spin on filters and such. Always lube your o-ring or gasket so it will seal properly and so it comes back off without using a 36" pipe wrench! 😢

[@Junkyard_Dave]

I put some fuel on it

[@banjobenson9348]

probably just winter fuel, they have a lot of problems in winter with it

Isn't there two sensors for water in the fuel one on top and one of the tank but I don't own a diesel I just washed it and videos some diesel trucks have two of those sensors

[@chrisgreig5628]

OMG did you liquid charge it ?

[@WilliamZeddies]

Dave did you ever fix that ground strap or whatever you broke when you pulled the bed? Shoot it was like your second or 3rd video with the F350.

[@jaredrichardson2944]

Hope that water sensor isn’t ruined by the brake cleaner

[@charliechang9mil]

Watching trevors video reminded me Whatever happened to those headlights you order!!?

[@Garth2011]

Too bad about the A/C compressor. If you can purchase a "Sanden" authentic brand compressor, they are about $200 which is way less than the FoMoCo price. Sanden brand uses less HP and will survive longer than OEM. Also, do not forget to add some PAG/SP oil to the system. Had the compressor not failed and the recharging completed, your A/C system would have been too low on lubricant having replaced hoses and the condenser. Be super careful and accurate with the amount of PAG/SP oil you use. The water in fuel issue could simply be fixed by clearing the code in the module. Likely that is best diagnosed by someone with the OBD equipment and knowledge. Don't forget this rig has some miles on it, likely time for that transmission and transfer case fluid to be changed, since you never know how the previous owner drove it but by the fact that owner wrecked it and the interior was such a mess when you first got it, likely that owner did zero preventative maintenance.

[@RevwdGaming]

Did you add the 360 camera feature? Or was this truck equiped without when you purchased it?

[@urbanmechanic9254]

How many hours are on your truck Dave

[@jimposey8848]

How much money you got tied up in this thing, just curious

[@aday1637]

20 inches of mercury on the compound gauge of your a/c gauge set is not sufficient to remove all the non-condensibles.. You will still have water and air at that level of vacuum. You should get much closer to 28 inches using a 2 stage vacuum pump (you can get one for about 1/2 of a hundred dollars if you shop around). What will happen is you will get a bead of moisture at the metering device which will freeze up and stop the evaporator coil from picking up heat. Plus you will create acid inside the system due to the reaction between the moisture and the refrigerant causing corrosion, leaks and a failed compressor. By the way you can get a 30 lb can of R134A for just about a tad over a hundred bucks (if you are interested in saving money). You can use it on most modern auto a/c systems out there.

[@vettepicking]

i betting you have a cut wire from the water sensor which is causing it to turn on. test the old sensor with a meter and bowl of fuel and water . just my 2 cents

[@KPearce57]

Discard it hell it makes good weed killer.

[@Junkyard_Dave]

lol shhhhh

[@willr69420]

Oopsy. I hate it when that happens, lol!

[@thomasdisharoon2512]

Ac cans say 12oz but it's up to 12oz

[@50mustangdrew]

My 08 2500 cummins ac compressor locked up and caught fire. Been there, fuck that lol

[@davidmeyer8133]

I hope it wasn’t 70k on the original filters, I work at a fleet company and we do ours at 15k intervals. These are mega dollar fuel systems to repair, fuel filters are cheap insurance.

[@Garth2011]

With those Ford diesels, I've read that the best maintenance there is for them is to change the engine oil and filter very often and the fuel filters about every 5,000 miles using only Ford filters.

[@arlynbreazeale783]

You replaced Ac lines and condenser ...I did not see you add any oil in ...If you did not you fried your compressor ... The refrigerant carries the oil to lube the compressor ..Kind of like starting your truck with no oil in the engine.

Great Dave. Screw the grammer police..

[@bertaboyz1271]

[@rcdogmanduh4440]

Yeah fuck the pickers.

[@timbriske123]

How about the oil in ur a/c system. Didn't see u add any with new parts or that ur system blew most of the oil out with Freon in wreck Ur also suppose to have 28" of vacuum when vacuuming system for at least 30 minutes. Like ur show

[@Garth2011]

Agreed, most A/C shops fail to run the vacuum for the required amount of time. The entire point of doing a vacuum is to remove all the moister in the system, boil it away. 28" for about 40 minutes I believe and then check for leaks. Also, there's a math formula for adding enough PAG/SD to compensate for loss of oil to the system via replacing parts. I let the A/C only repair shops do my vehicles as they do nothing but A/C or HVAC systems. They tend to do things better than a general mechanic does and they have the high end equipment.

[@jimbeckes1743]

[@michaelsa892]

Hey Dave what’s your thoughts on redoing a flooded 2018 f350 is it worth doing $17000 to buy 56,000 miles

[@larrybe2900]

My opinion is too much electrical computer components. Salt water? With bent metal you know approximate what you are getting into. With flood damage you might be plagued with issues or even fires. It sucks to see a perfectly fine looking vehicle considered totaled. Every sensor, computer component, etc. $$$$$$$$

[@Junkyard_Dave]

It depends on how flooded it was and how long it sat in the sun with the windows up

[@domforte2966]

Buy a fass lift pump

[@tgh117]

good job keeping up with the build. did you inject any oil in when you charged the AC system? Most of the 134 systems need a few ounces of oil to keep the compressor lubricated internally.

[@Halibrand]

I would guess that the system worked fine before the accident and David only disconnected a few lines and removed the condenser while frame swapping, should still hold 95% of its original pag oil.

[@Garth2011]

@@Halibrand Lot of the oil is accumulated within the condenser and lines. If you add it all up, could be worth an ounce or two. Anytime A/C hardware is replaced, it's a good idea to add tiny amounts of oil to compensate as replaced parts are going to be dry and free of any oil which means the existing oil in the system will have to coat those parts first leaving less free and moving oil in the system. That compressor likely was on it's way out with the miles on the truck. Most of them don't last.

[@Halibrand]

@@Garth2011 Yes that is true, however i dont think he replaced the condenser on this truck? If so 0.5oz pag oil should have been added to the system. Yes most likley the compressor was on its last leg anyway, i would recommend replacing the condenser and the dry filter when the new compressor is fitted, when the compressor gets this hot both metal carvings and burnt oil gets into the condenser and clogg the cells, especially in this case when the truck is fitted with a condenser with nano cells. Flushing this type of condenser is a no no, it harms them more then it helps.

[@Garth2011]

@@Halibrand Oh yes, I forgot, the receiver drier/filter is a must to change when doing a main part replacement, especially the compressor, on A/C systems. Once he gets the compressor lines disconnected, he will be able to determine if it had failed and munched up parts or simply is stuck due to contaminants. Either way though, the dryer filter should be changed for insurance. Being the system was opened and sitting for sometime, it would be a good idea to flush the system prior to replacing the compressor. I hope he looks into those Sanden Compressors, they are the only ones that will last and live. All of the custom and restoration garages use them because they function and last.

No oil is a common problem in the air condition. No oil BIG FIRE. I didn't see you had added to your system. Diesel needs to be empty in your whole entire system (tank to engine). This vehicle should have a sensor on the tank. But what I know is the question. THANKS for sharing your story

[@JOHNJ0HN9111]

your f350 has 5 recalls and the fuel system is one of them... should google before you start replacing stuff to make sure it's a recall item so you don't fuck up the warranty on the recalled item.. and waste your money when you can get it fixed for free..

Dave, you're quite the parts cannon. Don't bother troubleshooting...just replace everything...you must have a huge wallet. By the way it is illegal to discharge refrigerant into the atmosphere. If someone turns you in...it's a $50,000 fine which the tattle-tale gets a good part of. I wouldn't go advertising or elaborating your refrigeration work on youtube.
