In this video I bring you along as I block off the leaking rear A/C lines on a 2005 Cadillac Escalade. It is a kit I bought off Amazon and it fit and functioned perfectly.
-Enjoy!

Anotehr simple and awesome video. This is what I consider the practical reality of owning cars in the rust belt. it's not so much always repairing everything as much as making it livable for the next couple of years until the salt gets the job finished.
EO what did you do with the rear line connections?
😃
hey Eric do you fill a report every time you use the AC machine on a car? because we dont but got told by a friend that we do have to fill up a report.
Should you have taped off the unused lines to keep debris out?
The rear A/C lines on my Sienna were leaking, but rather than block them off, I repaired them with a repair kit from Dorman (yeah, I know: eww, Dorman. They're actually really nice and work great). Cost about $50 per kit, easy to install, and the rear A/C is still functional.
Excellent video as always Eric.
I like how everyone says they was a tech for 40 years everyone wish they were as good as Eric O he is the best you would not be watching if you were that good
That's a sweet kit right there now, does that company offer a block off for them lines that are disconnected so debris doesn't just pour in them? Ya know like save what components that would still be salvageable in the rear ac. Unless all from the front to rear is all junk then who cares. Just curious Mr O
why does he need working A/C in his winter beater? our winter beater hasn't had A/C in years.
Between you and Ray… OMG, y'all need to get together
In my suburban I ended up buying all the parts from a pickup and swapped it over lol
Great video I did not know you could close AC lines off like that. What happened to other AC lines? Did you just leave them hanging loose? I take it these two lines have nothing to do with the Transmission or colleant? Awesome video thumbs up. Stay well & safe everyone.
Blast it with dry nitrogen and check for leaks. Only time that has ever let me down is with a compressor seal. And it naturally removes moisture so its a good test before the final vacuum.. And if ya want to go over the top you can get a hydrogen tracer in the bottle. But the hydrogen leak sensors are $$$$, However they really work.
Best auto channel on the tube since Scotty shut up…!
I have been working on vehicles since I was 14 years old and looking at your videos , I have learn more then every. Keep it up
They don't have a drier Eric or not worth doing because it's a beater?!
Great job 👍.
Block off kits ??? Well, I've learned something new today !!! Will wonders never cease !!!!! You've been holding out on us Eric !!!!! This is a good thing to know !!!! I'll make a mental note of that for future use !!!!! Never a dull moment at SMA !!!!!!
Auto Cooling Solutions is a business associated with my repair shop. Small world.
Good job blowing cold again
Wow never knew you could block off the back side of a AC system like that unreal unreal at a Cadillac has that kind of problems love the video
YouTube. Gotta love it. You hover over the thumbnail for this video before playing it, and it scrolls subtitles of what is allegedly being said. "Welcome back to the self-made auction channel…". WTF? 🙂
You come down south to like Louisiana Alabama or Georgia or Florida you going to be wishing that back unit was working just saying
you left those rear line open to get full of dirt?
Surprised you didn't say "Whaddaya want me to do, block 'em off?" lol
Awesome
“ This is your classic” overly used cliché!! Learn a new one Eric
Dude, you have been On Fire. Much appreciation for all the great content!!
If anyone else on this channel can advise me on the cheapest scan tool I could buy to reprogram a new key on 2018 ram 1500 .. I need to buy a scan tool because also I got to fix new transmission in my wifesford focus dreaded dps6 transmission.. so will be a relearn after messing with it .. many thanks to y’all
Hi I’ve been trying to message you several messages.. could you please advise me on what scan tool / cheapest one . That will program me a spare key on my 2018 dodge 1500 ??? Many thanks … maybe do you have to call Keith lol 😂👍🤙 thanks
Your audio is low. 3rd video with this problem. Maybe it's our I86 link but your audio is low.
You make everything look easy
Thanks Eric
Shame the hard lines cost so much and rubber hose replacement kit runs $350 to lose the rear AC use. Guess the kids can sweat.
it appears the little nut and washer for the high pressure side block off goes on the end of the bolt where it passes through the fitting. They are probably not necessary (because that area is threaded as you mentioned) but it's nice they included them in the kit.
Are we ever going to see the overalls again
Shade tree mechanic can maybe do this ac job.
I’m a little confused. Not super mechanically inclined. What is it exactly this kit does? Will the AC not work anymore?
Nice kit and job , thanks
That went well. Thanks
Believe me it help to read the reviews. I know people that don’t.
you are a hacker I don't have air conditioning unit in my car get off my private page with you too they do not have the permission and they were worn🗣️💯😠☹️😕💪💀🧑💻🧑⚖️🕵️👮🇺🇳🇺🇸🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈✨👍✨💌✨✌️✨💪😕
“…it’s got the leatha.”
Hey… douchemobile today.
The shop I worked at manufactured barbed fitting. On those trucks we'd solder on fittings and run reduced barrier hose back to the expansion valve
I always look forward to a new SMA video!!! By far my favorite, along with project farm.
Hard to believe how many worry warts in here about the rear lines that aren't to be used again. I have a hard time readin the comments when most are just nit pickers. You all come in here to see an experienced mechanic do great work, and an awesome gift of gab I must say, and yet so many question the trivial things that would drive most to drink. I guess maybe it is just a way to feel included. Ok, done bitchin, feel much better… TGIF
