do it at your own risk! how to possibly fix your AC in a vehicle. Gas is fully charged and fuses are good but compressor isn't moving when AC and truck isn't ON! 😎

    How has the antenna been performing? I am considering copying your design for my pickup. I use to run a long coax with various cheap eBay antennas and had nothing but disappointment. My wife's Chevy SUV has an antenna in the rear quarter window and gets 70% more range than my cheap antennas. This time I will run shorter coax and possibly a signal enhancer....

      @@RedbackAviation I'm in rural upstate NY on the rooftop of New York 15~ miles from the Canadian border. Many stations are far away like in Ottawa Ontario for example. There approximately 90 miles away! I can still pickup there station's with this compact design of a 1 foot coiled antenna! I get around ~40 station's with it. So performance is always compromised when coiling an antenna shorted than it's 1/4 wavelength height. But your antenna still can be efficient for most stations anyways as long you don't coil it to like 2" inches too much compromising lol

      @@asherkimball8349 @svenhansen9618 I took HVAC in school been running this this way for 3 years now and no problems. in the fall I take the screw out of it till the next summer. I drive no more than 30 miles away and if you are worried about the condenser frizzing on the cooler summer days then put the fan on 1 with a tad bit of heat with the AC, just enough to not feel uncomfortable. But I don't bother and 3 years going strong and like I said take the screw out in the fall when you don't need it! 😎👍

    By doing that your AC can't cycle so it will overheat or cause your condenser to freeze up.

    What is your high side pressure reading? There is no way to turn it off when it gets to high. Boom!!!!

      @0525752 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You don't service the high side just the low side when putting refrigerant in the truck. Low side is well in the good range. So found out it was the compressor was the problem not contacting so I fixed it with a screw. From others they said it works, good enough for them and I. 😎

    Found off camera it was easier to put the coil by taking it off the coat hanger. Then wigging it back on the coat hanger. Remember to pull it out to a foot. Should still be an efficient radio antenna! 📡

    Watch any other videos they don't show the kicking the Tire method only lighting the tire and it seats in the perfect world method. Well just lighting it wasn't working gap was too big! Tire was really compressed and new. Used carb a choke spray to get a mini explosion to seat the tire. Still a few time just only be fire I would have to put out 🔥. By kicking the tire it help to seal the deal! 😉. This is how it's done the northern New York way near the Canadian border! Lol. Disclaimer: be safe don't do this at home could cause injury or harm. Leave this to the experts! 😉
