    In the first minutes when you checked how much freon was required you said 1.6 lbs but you put 1.4 lbs. What's up

    I love " Das ist nicht gut" where you learn German language?
    I like your videos so much. For me as a German it seems Florida is hot and sometimes ants live I a car. Last time a was in Florida was 1989. I have a lot great remembers to that time in the Us.
    Go on Ray.😉

    my old boss use to charge customers for every can of cleaner and ante seeze we used no mater if a full can was used or not , well he needed the money to keep the lights on for his $1,000,000.00 + cottage …

    Oh just pull the dash already 😂They're not that bad. No I'm not a mechanic, but yes I have done it before on my truck. Replaced my heater core and evap core along with one of the refrigerant hard lines, the compressor, and the dryer/filter. Been problem free ever since. Hardest part about it is getting the motivation to do it, and paying for the parts 😂the job itself really isn't hard. It's about 5 or 6 screws on top, few nuts and screws on the bottom, for the dash, and about 5 nuts on the firewall and a couple wiring harnesses to pull (possibly a vacuum tube or two to pull as well) to pull the hvac box. (for mine anyway) granted yours may be a bit harder since you got a dirtymax that takes up the whole engine bay…shoulda got a cummins! 😉 I kidd, I kidd. Long as it ain't a mid 90's chevy 6.5L (injection pump electronics burn out quickly on them due to crap design) or a ford 6.0 (again poor engineering)…they're all decent engines that will last a very long time👍

    Now, the real question is what was plugging it up?
    The correct repair would make for an awesome video series.

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Chuck says:

    Hi ,i noticed that you didn't ck. the orifice tube in the line for particles, was this checked before you made the video? Great videos Ray!

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars gunga din says:

    Bad plug in evaporator. Likely quick flush onlly dissolned n blew out part of the gunke.
    Fill evaporator with flush n let set over weekend, then blow out.
    Evap fins may also be plugged with leaves dust balls. Can u get a compressed air blow tube in there?

    Sounds like the ac syn lube failed n gummed up. Compressor will also be gummed. Flush it, lines n condensor

    Charge spec was 1.6 pounds, you charged 1.4
    A system that is 10% under charged results in a 50% reduction in oil flow through the system.

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Smith says:

    Ray, I notice you have what looks to be the stock LLY air intake on your truck, do you plan on swapping that out to mitigate the airflow issues that factory intake causes?

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Angel Bob says:

    Extremely helpful! AC repair costs so damn much so anyone who will show me how to diagnose them myself is a friend indeed

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jayknee Garner says:

    Ray, you do know you have competent mechanics working right next to you that you can rope into doing you a favor and tearing the dash apart if it comes to that! You don’t have to do all the hard work!

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars TheJCorbi82 says:

    Yeah! I can't wait to bring it by ❤

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars William Lewis says:

    I understand you don't wanna take the dash apart, however, you could pay someone else to do it! LOL

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars rstephe says:

    Nice pouring skills. You can pour me a drink anytime.

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars pete d says:

    Waz wondering that Ray went after EVAP 1st and not the Orifice type expansion valve. I'd never found anything but exploded desiccant stuff plugging stuff. Hadn't seen info on congeled oil dye blockage before , no doubt a long term only, creation. You can bet customer vehicle fix would include nu drier, Orifice and complete system flush , fresh re-oil for 'No Come Bak' repair

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Alex Wolf says:

    What brand air fittings does your shop use?

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars David Bowsher says:

    I thought your truck needed 1.6 lbs. of refrigerant. You put 1.4 lbs. I'm confused.

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars BillFromAZ says:

    Ray, Ray, Ray…..the specs said 1.6.

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars cj reyes says:

    The exact same reason why I discourage anyone asking me for a/c advice from using those refill cans from big box stores. Since they don't come with a high pressure gauge, you're not getting the full diagnosis. Average joes will just empty the whole can over filling the system

    ray do you have to pay labor on your truck if you work on it in the shop. or is it just the parts and stuff you use at you job?

    You did not change service ports, lol

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars oldhp mopar says:

    What do you think plugged it??? Do you run it on air
    recirculate???

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars steve park says:

    The 350psi indicates that the condenser is at 173*. The major cause of the high pressure is that the system can’t reject heat. Something is keeping the condenser from being cooled. Fan, plugged condenser fins, accumulation between the radiator and condenser, plugged radiator, something is.. Try running water over the condenser to cool it. A restriction that blocks refrigerant flow would prevent the system from picking up heat out of the cab. The low flow, lack of heat transfer would cause the suction to go low. With no flow( heat) going into the condenser the condenser would be cooled and the pressure would drop to below normal. High pressure in AC systems is heat. A new evap won’t fix it , the same that flushing it didn’t. I’m sure the drop in outlet temp is because the condenser was getting some air. As shown by the drop in high pressure.

    It sucks pulling a Chevy dash! Now if it was a 2006 Dodge you can have the dash out in 20 minutes.

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars HAMMER says:

    Eh there you go you just might have to replace that condenser for the sake of mileage. Oh by the way I like your magic tricks! I learn something new from every video.

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John LaCroix says:

    TY,,,,,,WOW incredible very interesting super kool ,1st class great info.,, AAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++ again great video I liked it a lot ,keep up the great work.

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars House Bill says:

    I had a very similar problem a few years ago. It seemed to be a restriction as the high side went thru the roof. I've always done my own AC work but hated working with the AL fittings. and the expansion valve was in a bad spot. I took it to a local shop and they hooked it up. The service manager came out and told me my compressor was locked up, I needed a new compressor, evaporator, receiver/dryer and condenser. Over $2.2k. I told him the compressor is NOT locked up because I had worked on it and knew it was fine since the clutch did lock in and it did build a lot of pressure. He went back to talk to his mechanic, came back and said it had a noise when running. HUH? How could it have a noise running if it was locked up? I paid $60 and drove away. Went a small independent guy. He did pretty much the same as you did, which I didn't have the tools to do. $240 later and it still works fine.
    Edit I said expansion valve. That show my age. I meant orifice tube. Some terms stick in my head.

    Than you !! I have always been mechanically inclined and can fix just about any thing. My weakness has been technical troubleshooting with cars. Your videos and expertise have helped me so much! I also love your sense of humor. keep them coming. Thank you.

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Sergey Shchegolev says:

    Dude I really need some advise from you about my car lol. 2018 tuscan. 175k . Yes drive a. Shit ton. When AC on I had overheating before. Got my temp sensor changed. Seems ok now but my rpms on at idle on drive fall to 500 and come back up to 650 and I feel the engine tremble.

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars William White says:

    Don't know about you truck but the older ones I worked on had orifice tubes that usually would be the plug point and often it was caused by the dessicant in the drier coming apart necessitating the drier replacement and orifice tube replacement.

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Daniel Clark says:

    I got rid of a really nice GMC Sierra that needed a complete AC overhaul, evaporator, compressor and Ac condenser. That would have been over 2k, I sold the truck and the guy who bought it was like how much? I found out you have to remove the complete dash assembly and the bench seat to have good access to the evaporator coil and heater coil. You would think GM could have made it easier.

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars DN says:

    Cool- an AIR-15.
