2x Extreme Overpressure!! Parasitic Load! A/C not working

1. Thank you. I was taught to use the word refrigerant for just that reason. Freon, Genetron, etc are brand names.

2. why are you reluctant to open up the dash? is it because it may squeak make annoying noises after its put back together? or is it just a bitch of an operation?

3. Thanks Ray! I now yell AIR! Every time I use brake clean.

4. Sub! I did come here for magic tricks!

5. @watermanone Please clarify. IS a A/C sniffer a specially trained K-9?

6. He has got a right hand !

7. 14 mpg 😮 that's a lot of fuel, fast calculator tels me 17 l /100 km I do 4-5 l/100km

8. Could this issue have been caused by the office tube/expansion valve??

9. You know it's coming Ray, it will make for a good video.

10. In the beginning of the video, you checked All Data and found the refrigerant weight to be 1.6 lb. When you recharged, you only added 1.4? In a later video working on the same truck, exactly the same thing happens? When you originally recovered refrigerant it was low, so you recharged to the same low weight. Add .2 lbs refrigerant.

11. UNSUB!! I DIDN'T COME HERE FOR MAGIC TRICKS! (@8:19)
    🤣😂🤣 I love your videos, Ray!
    Watching this one after watching your one published today–I think I've seen this one before but still entertaining.
    Hope you and your family are doing well!

12. I cracked up when he started the machine to vacuum the system and thought he must be doing the suction via bluetooth, and he said it would help if i connected the lines.

13. The scary party is so I had a friend of mine's grandson that is a good drink Tech wants to tell me that I need a new radio in my mom's car because the muffler shop that checked the cooling and did the oil change overfilled it with coolant but he didn't even check it or pressurize it he just assumed and believe me hes he had an attitude about it's the biggest the moon that he was never wrong and his grandpa had been doing it 90 years was never right he thought he always knew more I don't know how people do that to older people but know Far more than they do I just can't stand it

14. You keep it up you're gonna make yourself look at God's day Mr. Goodman's Tech I'm telling you😅😅

15. Yeah if you don't use that much bright clean jets for video purposes I'd hate to see your bright clean bill at the parts house after a week If you do that other than for dramatic effect do you want to go through about 10 or 15 cases a week

16. Yeah we know you learn how to use Sprint cleaner from Erica from South main auto but really did you have to rip rip off his tag light

17. Well I would just if that doesn't work we'll start calling you Maverick

18. Hey if this don't work out for you maybe you can take over Tom Cruise's job and cocktail as a bartender somewhere lol smile

19. Wow 13 mpg on a diesel engine that is horrible, You need to start experimenting with some taller tires and a cooler temped thermostat, as far as the A/C goes if the specs call for 1.6 pounds then put 1.6 pounds in it if nothing else try 1.65 pounds and see what happens, I ran a Semi Truck for many years and I turned 9.2 mpg with tire and thermostat changes along with a little extra refrigerant and was in the 38 degree range at idle, have a great pay.

20. Had to replace the heater core in my 01 Blazer(leaked coolant all over the passenger side floorboards). After breaking several brittle plastic dash pieces and fasteners, I took it to my local shop with the parts and said "pleased this for me?". Cost a couple hundos (worth it) and couple more broken dash pieces. But at least it wasn't me breaking my own dash up. And the heat in that truck was glorious afterwards.

21. When did you last replace the dryer ? Is the expansion valve integral with your evaporator , though regardless it is collocated with it so it's a dash off anyway even if that's all you need to replace.

22. You disappointed me. The compressor is compressing, the fan is fanning, and the pistons are, well they are working too.

23. Ray you should've replaced the dryer and orifice tube also…..you think the compressor is coming apart or was it flooded with oil and dye? what made you suspect evaporator blockage and not condenser blockage? either will cause high high. As far as your fuel mileage suffering because compressor strain was more than normal think about this, does your mileage change when you use your A/c ? sure it does. Even with the bit of torque that durascrap has! Sorry I'm a tech too and I hate all cars and trucks…..

24. Love the Larry Enticer reference

25. Seems like an oil separation problem to me. I have no clue if they put those in MHVAC systems

26. I never thought i would say this to myself my AC repair bill was a major money loss with unnecessary parts. I still had warm AC was hot like the heat was on. Now i know after i got rid of the vehicle 6 months ago. it actually needed a line blow out job

27. just use the metric system & all this unit chaos (OZ , LIB etc.) is gone

28. Orifice tube???? You checked it, right?

29. use coil cleaner on the cond coil.

30. Mechanic fix thyself. I noticed a very cracked hose on the front of that engine. >O

31. Yeah I get to do some AC repair on my 95 Plymouth Grand Voyager I know the compressor turns on but there's no refrigerant anywhere in the system I own the vehicle for a year and a half now but it's sat in my landlord's driveway for 5 years so it's probably been good 6 years or more since it had anything this ought to be a fun journey

32. I'm 78 so I see a lot of stuff you can do better or improve on. Using a lug wrench with a cheater bar you can lift up on the lug nut wrench instead of standing on it. Most of the time the stud Will twist off. So heating it first might save it. I don't have all those special tools you have.

33. Finally someone who knows that "Freon" is a brand name and refrigerant is the correct term.

34. you're ALLOWED to work on your own stuff?!

35. The art of the long range pour !!👍🏼👍🏼🍻💥

36. Does your wife watch your videos? if she does. what does she think?

37. Raymond displaying his bartender fancy pouring skills; I'm impressed. I'm confused with the low pressure on the high end and high pressure on the low end. As Vinny Barberino used to lament; oh, I'm so confused. We love it Ray. 😎

38. the logic for refrigerant is that heat must go in for pressure to go up. If the evap was plugged or not transferring heat the refrigerant pressures will drop as the condenser continues to remove heat and condense into a liquid. And if you suspect a clog def need to check the orifice tube.

39. Hey Ray Don’t forget the orfice tube in the high side line

40. Ah restrictions, the compressors cry for help lol

41. cool

42. Good job Ray. I think that they could design the AC system so that you don't have to remove the dash to replace the part

43. Hi Ray, If there would have been a blockage, I would have expected it at the TX valve. Any reason why you did not clean that one as well?

44. Flush the Condenser sas well

45. Thats a cool tool for someone that has to pay out of pocket. My dumb company replaces the evaporator anytime there's and isssue with the a/c…..

46. "I don't want to do it for my own stuff" is why you never buy a car from a mechanic. It'll be running with sewing thread!!!…

47. I was glad to see the assault blow gun make an appearance.

48. Interesting I would have thought you would have low suction pressure with a blocked evaporator. Have you check for debris in the condenser?

49. why wouldn't you replace the receiver/dryer? if the evap was plugged wouldn't dryer be contaminated and resist flow too? might have been some of the desiccant that was plugging the evap.

50. change the dryer out
