I prefer having to remove the wheel, wheel liner, right side engine mount bolts, having to jack the engine up a little, only being able to barely finagle the compressor out in a very specific manner (having to rotate it 180 degrees first, obviously), then getting the new one in, unsure if you messed up a gasket/seal in the process, and then you try to jam R134A (the cans with leak stop of course) into it, having no knowledge of AC systems or how they work, finally learning that you forgot to remove the plastic protective plugs that prevent debris from getting inside the compressor (after you take it to a shop to do the job for you).

Search for 1974 Oldsmobile Cutlass. Look for an image of a restored one showing the engine. Note the vast amount of unused empty space under that hood. Seven of the eight spark plugs are easy to reach.The eighth was under the AC compressor, and people complained loudly.

I still drive an old 98 but a blazer 4 door. I put in a AC compressor last summer but also replaced the orifice and receiver dryer. I couldn’t believe how dirty the old one was. So I replaced what I could and flushed the system out and I couldn’t believe how cold the air out was! Late 60s and still love working on cars. 👍🏻

I love your videos! Thank you so much. I was working on my brother's 2014 Miata with 9,000 miles, and I thought it had a bad A/C compressor bearing, so I bought another A/C clutch. Successfully installed it, started the car, and sent the clutch into low Earth orbit. Turned out the A/C compressor was seized up. Realizing I was completely out of my league, I sent it to my mechanic who does not have a You Tube channel, and he installed a new A/C clutch, and a new fan. The electric fan literally melted, causing the compressor to seize up. Live and learn. Thank you for giving me the courage to try.

Nice truck! I love these little S10’s. My son and I own a red 2000 s10 single cab, 4 cylinder , 5 speed, manual locks and windows. They are tough trucks. It is our shop truck used for junkyard trips, garbage hauling, or lawnmower hauling. GM really built a sweet little truck back in the day. All our “ new “ parts for it come from the U-Auto-pullit! We just installed a mint , GM bed liner for a whole $25. Plenty of torque, and reliable. So shocked to see one in this condition in the PRNY! Keep up the good work!

This video made me really happy. I changed out the compressor on my 1987 car and the forum police raked me over the coals for 1)Not replacing the receiver/dryer again which I had just done 2 years prior and 2)Not flushing the entire system first because of "all the metal shards that were surely in the system from the last compressor". Whew, it was sure a close one but I survived and so did the car. Still running after 5 years.
@spelunkerd
@spelunkerd Ай бұрын
Yes, I think it depends on the underlying cause. In this case it was a seal failure, not a mechanical compressor failure, so Eric made the reasonable decision not to charge more and replace more. It also was not completely exposed to ambient air and water vapor. New condensers have passages that are so fine, fragments of the pump can lodge there and in a genuine compressor failure many replace that, too. It's a confusing topic because when the compressor grenades the usual approach is to replace all the seals, the accumulator, flush it out with nitrogen gas, then do a long deep vacuum to boil off any occult water. I remember getting lectures from the forum police, but Eric has street cred so those guys usually defer to a pro who does this every day for a living. Now that professionals dominate the KZfaq landscape the keyboard warriors have calmed down.

2 years ago, I had to replace the compressor on my Ranger for the same reason: leaking oil. I thought I could get away with replacing just the compressor like you did. But when I pulled the orifice tube, I found it was covered in metal shavings. So I did a total A/C overhaul: new condenser, accumulator, orifice tube, flushed lines and evaporator, and of course, new compressor. Moral of the story: always check the orifice tube even if the compressor is still working

You were crying about trying to find a compressor for a Mitsubishi and I said: "Eric have you tried Ranshu?" to which you replied "Who's Ranshu. " I said look in any copy of Motor Age they have four page ads printed on PINK PAPER right in the middle of the magazine where the staples are telling you they have any compressor made. I sort of miss our interactions. You were fun. Wonder where you're pal Pete with Advance Auto is now. Rock Auto fixed his problem.

Nice original truck. I'm very familiar with that compressor since I own two 98 full size chevy trucks that use the same compressor. When I re-did the AC systems on both trucks, I did not use HT6 compressors because of how often they leak where the two halves join. On my K1500 truck, I used a Seltec Valeo compressor that has a one-piece body and it's been on the truck since 2007 and the AC still blows very cold. On the K3500 truck, I used a Sanden compressor also with a one-piece body and it's been on the truck since 2009 or 2010 and is still very cold. For warranty purposes for both compressors, I had to replace both the accumulator and orifice tube on both trucks. I was taught to replace both of those things anyway any time you replaced a compressor.

Wish you were around a few years ago, learned quite a bit. Back then, had a CR-V with a bad compressor. Dealer wanted $$$$ to replace so I ordered a look-alike compressor from Ammazin. It was identical to the original in every way. Had all the tools except reservoir for old refrigerant but it was empty anyway. It even came packed with oil. Spent $300 total and had the car for two more years. Asked the dealer parts guy to show me the factory shipper box and it was ALSO identical to mine except for printing. I guess there's one BIG compressor plant in the PRC. Gr8 tip about the brake cleaner!

Oooohhh, that's a nice S10. If that is all factory, then it is a ZQ8 package - lowered a little, better suspension and front and rear sway bars stock. Being that it is a 4.3L with a stick, then it also has the 8.5" rear axle (which is the same as the full size Silverados and such, just narrower), instead of the 7.5"/7.625" that comes in most of the S10's. Very nice !

Don't believe all the hype. It's certainly a nice to do especially if the system has been open to the elements for years. but for what little time this has been exposed to...nah. It's fine. If you cut an accumulator/dryer open to see inside, it'll make sense why it isn't necessary. Even in instances where lets say a hose has a slow leak. Eventually you take in for service, they recover system. Replace part. Vacuum system, and charge. You wouldn't replace the dryer/accumulator. When its a car that's been sitting in the woods for a decade....yea, its time ha.

people do not answer you correctly. and the person who did give reply probably has never used a micron gauge either. That gauge will let you no when you pull a vacuum if it is dry after your vacuum pull. if you are interested in facts check out hvac school channel, i no they do residential ac but all hvac systems have a few things in common one is getting moisture out thats what kills ac systems. so if like he said you dont have to, only the use of that micron will let you no if its dry enough and not have to change it. the key is the use of that gauge that no one in our industry is using, sad days

One thing to remember when using a chain saw If you're not making chips (even at the highest RPM's) You're not cutting wood But like Mr.O said We can't all be Einsteins This is a dangerous man and will probably hurt himself

"Battery from the Dollar General" 🤣🤣 I'm looking for that product the next time I walk in one. Maybe they sell some deep cycle trolling motor batteries too.

Nice little truck! I have a 98 K1500 5.7 and S10 ZR2 5spd. Love both trucks. They don't see road too often anymore, unfortunately. The K1500 was my first vehicle. The S10 was my winter beater so it's not nearly this cherry, but I'll still never sell it.

Drive a 99 Sonoma 4x4 as my daily. Pretty decent truck other than the cluster that has mind of its own. And yes, believe it or not the A/C still works after 190k!

A lot of these were made in the Linden, New Jersey GM plant back in the day. Used to live there. Plant closed down long while ago. Owned a 96 blazer 4 door as well with the 4.3 and it was very dependable vehicle.

I have a 96 GMC Jimmy with the 4.3 and well over 300,000 miles. I still have it because I want to put a plow on it. The rocker panels are pretty well shot. Living in northeast Wisconsin.

I was gonna say those HT6 compressors were pre-programmed to explode at 85k but this one didn’t even make it that long. Mine was absolutely oozing lol.

Wish my 95 Sierra was that clean, but I'm working on it. Thanks, Eric!
