In this video I check out a customers 2003 Dodge Dakota with the big 4.7. The customer states he needs a new A/C compressor as well as a water pump. Sure as heck he’s right so let’s get after it!
-Enjoy!

Thanks, Eric. You make driving that old truck enjoyable again. I can always count on you and Josh to keep my vehicles operating as designed. My old Dakota is used in my part-time gig serving our three county Flood Warning System climate and river stations. 😊
Help Eric, I searched online for Pag oil capacity & type. I have a 2007 Dakota 4.7 Magnum Flexfuel.
Online says 01-07 All eng 7oz pag-100 oil.
O'Reilly gave me Different info. 4.06oz pag-46 oil.
So now I am lost. Who do I believe?
I'm surprised it has a clutch fan.
Ironically if his compressor clutch has died his heater core has probably failed long ago.
Enjoyed video thank you
Thanks Eric! from SJ, too bad you're not in my neighborhood. I enjoy watching your videos, my Durango slt 4.7L '03 needs a new AC compressor and other things…Hot Summer is here!
U dont bleed air out of systems..from waterpump..how do i bleed..i emptied rad n took off hoses to replace..do i fill over flow than pour in cap
Nothing goes on gasket…I see everyone putting a little lube on it
Most have thread sealer
Jimmy Carter is the reason the United States continues to use the imperial system instead of adopting the metric system. He believed that economic concerns and cultural resistance to change made it too difficult to make the switch.
Your the best❤❤❤
You telling me at the Chinese sweat shop that they couldn’t pre install the gasket.
Black Silk ☕
Too much of that engine is under the cowl.
Oh Yeah!! Folgers Breakfast Blend…YUM-YUM!!!
China? That ought to last 6 months!
Nice job Eric and I could not agree more about the metric system conversion…. If it isn't 10MM then its 11MM so simple… no 8th,16th,32, or 64th.
Holy crap, under $800 for an a/c compressor and water pump? Am I crazy or is that dirt cheap?
I had a Dakota, good little truck, pulled my 26 ft travel trailer better than my ram 1500!
I miss my old Dakota. Sometimes I think of buying one but they’re all neglected.
Thanks for this video. I'm replacing the AC compressor following this. And yes they do make Folgers. I'm drinking Iced Counrty Roast with CV Hazelnut cream right now.
No filter tube or new dryer?
Hi Eric, FYI Hot always goes to cold and cold never goes to hot because there is no such thing as cold air. Just moving heat around. Lol
0 is cold, 40 is stupid hot technically…
Maybe they want to be different to the rest of the world
Did i miss something? Did he reinstall the fan afterwards?
Why has the US not changed over to Metric. Because the cost would be far higher than the benifits. We have invested a lot of money as a country in items that are designed and built in inches. So even if we where to design and make all new things in metric it would take more than a generation to fully switch. During which time there would be a lot of additional costs. The simplest and cheapest option is to do things the same as always.
I think same motor used in the durango
Folgers or Maxwel House
Actually Eric you are converted to the metric system. This was even done inn the Reagan period. However even the system was adopted and implimented in the science department, the people are to lazy to think about the benefits. So it actually its yourself as Americans that won't want to use it .
But if you really thinkof it, it's so much more easy to use and to calculate with..
Can you do a video on how the AC machine works? High side, low side etc. That would be great.
@19:11. Wait, you’re a no t.v. guy too; I thought I was the only one. They’re too expensive and there’s nothing on.
I still love the brake clean intro. and sound effects. Of course your video was excellent as always.
"Wrong hole, fella!"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I always get the metal propeller because the plastic ones never lasted for me lol.
I drink a cup of Folgers every morning with breakfast. It's GOOD stuff!
I take it you didn’t change the ac filter
We dont use metric because we are not dumb 😂this is amarica talk in English and use inches and ferinhight or lieave and use the communist party stuff over there communist bull crap ..lol🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 now it's not cool to be amarican I'm so proud I can care less about any other measuring way other then ours.they should change too what we use.
We didn't become the second country to go metric because the French representatives who were to meet with Thomas Jefferson were kidnapped by pirates.
American exceptionalism is the reason we never converted to the more simple metric system, You know, back in the day when this Country was great and not governed by communist woke democrats who answer to everyone else before American citizens. Now we are a nation in decay.
I drink Folgers!
Retired carpenter here I can’t relate to meters centimeters millimeters. Give me feet inches and fractions
84° and open doors?!?! It’s not NY!!!
me: “Did he really manhandle that tensioner like that” 😮
Me: “I hope he’s not using the pro series brake cleaner. Never works.” Eric: “I think I have a defective can here.” I can never use 1/2 the can of pro! It’s junk!
Eric i have 05 abs lamp comes on at same time lost mph drop out if clear code start over again ?
You should film more test drives, looks quite pretty where you're located. This from someone who loves taking day trips to destinations unknown. Take the Mrs. with ya, have a picnic and enjoy. Oops, I'm off topic. 😂😂
I love all of you videos and have learned a lot from these!
