You broke this down better than any video I have seen in the past year. I think I will give this replacement a shot now. Thanks Man!
That really makes my day, brother!!! Thank you for the feedback, and I’m stoked this helped! Have a blessed day!
Great video. I am going to redo my entire a/c soon, and this video is perfect for me to follow. Thanks for putting this together. A couple questions, why didn't you replace the evap cooler as well since you were already in there? And the kit I'm looking at says compressor is pre-filled, should I trust that?
In hindsight, I should have replaced that while in there too. When you say prefilled, do you mean with PAG oil?
@GrubNGas okay, I'll go ahead and replace that too. Yes, prefilled with PAG oil.
@@aber1711 that should be ok if it’s pre-filled. Make sure the pre-filled amount of oil is what the factory required amount is.
You are the BEST content creator I have ever seen for "how to". If I could subscribe 1 million times I would.
Thank you so much, friend! It means a LOT that this video helps and that the time spent creating it was worth it. Hope you have a wonderful day!
Great video man. Im looking to replace the system in my 95 f150 4.9l soon. The full kits im looking at say the compressors come pre charged with pag oil, but they also send bottle of pag oil with it. Not sure why. If you have any input on that, let me know.
Thanks for the feedback! Well, mine did the same thing…I think I ended up putting too much oil in mine as a result. I’d definitely confirm the oil is in there…maybe ask the seller if they can confirm???
Most suppliers tag the compressor with how much oil they installed in the compressor then you add the remainder to achieve specs
@@southernnavigator8219 ah that makes sense!
This might just be the best step by step video I have seen. Thanks for your clear explanation. Hoping just an O ring update fixes my '95, but if not, I know what to do now.
Really appreciate the feedback, friend! I tried to make it as informative as possible. Glad you’re here!
thanks for the ac info, works on my 92 F250 IDI
That’s awesome, so glad this helped! Thank you for the feedback!!!!!
Best ac tutorial on the internet. Thank you sir!
You’re most welcome, thank you for your comment and for watching! Hope you have a wonderful day!
Got a question for you. I’m working on my 96 now and I got a situation where I need to know what the wiring looks like (color wise) coming from the 2 wire connector on the compressor, and the connector on the manifold connecting to the back compressor. Any help would be greatly appreciated there.
Here’s what’s on mine:
Compressor wire colors if you’re facing the front of the compressor, black on the left, gray with a white stripe on the right.
Sensor on the back of the compressor colors facing the plug from the drivers side fender are green with an orange strip on the left, and red with a yellow stripe on the right.
You’re the man.
@@JacksonMitchell-h9c thanks, friend, and I’m happy to help! Wishing you the best on your 1996!
what was the total cost? I need to fix the AC on my 92 f150.
I saved 250 so far.
The kit is $329 (as of today) on Amazon and here’s the link: amzn.to/3qxiOtb
The Freon is $35 (as of today) on Amazon and here’s that link: amzn.to/3YaShEf
Good deal on your savings!
Good video! I have all the components to do the 150. Only thing I would do different and maybe you did. I would bleed all of the ambient air out of my manifold lines before you started charging.
Thanks for the feedback and for adding a good tip! Have a great day!!!
Yessir, thanks for the video! Very helpful
@@southernnavigator8219 you’re most welcome!!!
Great video
Thanks, friend!!! Appreciate the view and feedback!
Awesome video, with very easy to follow step by step instructions. Thanks for taking the time to put this together!
Thank you so much! It’s comments like yours that keep me making content! Have a wonderful day!!!
great video doing my 1996 F250 7.3L but the A/C design appears to be identical;best detailed video I have found good job
Glad to hear it, friend! Yes, those are the same design, and I probably should have said that in the video as well: I’m really glad this helped! Thanks for the feedback!
Been debating on installing a full F150 1995 A/C to my 85 Bronco and keeping the Vbelts. Or just break my bank with the vintage air instead of my head. Nice video
Those vintage air systems are nice! Thanks for the feedback, friend! Happy Independence Day!
In the middle of a recession? What the heck are you talking about? With record low unemployment and positive growth, you obviously didn't go to college or you would know the definition of a recession. Inflation, yes that's a fact.
I don’t disagree with you that on paper we don’t look like we’re in a recession.
But ask any average guy/gal on the street if they feel uplifted in their personal economic growth…or how many meals they can buy with $100.00 versus 3.5 years ago…or how much home they can afford…or how many days are left before they get paid again and the money has run dry…or how many purchases (some of them necessities) they’ve delayed indefinitely…
Some things just don’t fit the textbook definition.
Are you in Arkansas? specifically alittle North of Central? I am in Cabot and I have a 1993 Bronco I am fixing up. I noticed the background in the video and had to ask!
Arkansan to the core:) Love Cabot, and used to be out past Ward actually:)
@@GrubNGas That is awesome! I'm Arkansas born and breed as well, what are the odds? I drive around a black 1993 all the time and btw thank you so much for your videos they have helped me a lot!
@@jeffersonmayn knowing these videos help means more than you know! My fam and I love coming to Cabot for coffee, so maybe we’ll see ya one day!
This is a great video. Thank you. I had it on the surround sound and I thought I had a cicadia in the house for most of the video.
Thanks for the feedback, friend! Hahaha! I’ll bet that cicada sound was interesting, lol!
Great video, thanks for creating. I’m rebuilding a 95 f250 and need to replace all AC components but am unsure if I can just remove/replace all the parts like you did or if I first have to have the system discharged? Don’t know if the AC worked or not but want everything replaced. Any thoughts? Thanks!
So glad this helped you! You can take the vehicle to an AC shop and they can evacuate any remaining Freon (if there’s any left) and then you can proceed with the rebuild. Hope that helps!
Awesome video brother! Will definitely be referring to this several times over the next few days. God bless from Mississippi!
Thank you so much, brother! This comment absolutely made my day. Happy Good Friday to you and yours from Arkansas! He is Risen! God bless you and yours!
Hi Does the pressure limit on the back side of the compressor also have a Schrader valve?
You know, I did not check, and probably should have. It wasn’t leaking so I left it alone. I’m adding that to my list of things to find out. Thanks for asking!
Very good video with nice camera work, BUT, you made a mistake by not replacing both of the lines. You could have done so for $100. As I recall, the 134 works at a higher pressure than 12 does so it's all the more reason to change the hoses. I have an original one (1990) that leaks at a crimp.
Also, you should have shown the vent temperature with a thermometer.
My crew cab takes 52 ounces. There's a sticker with this info on the accumulator. Maybe yours had been replaced before.
Overall, a nice job.
Thank you for the input, and I agree, it would have been better had I replaced the lines. I’ll double check my Freon after reading this to make sure it’s topped off. Have a great night!
@@GrubNGas Also, you put all of the oil into the compressor. I got the Four Seasons kit. It came packaged better but it come with 3 ounces in the compressor. The instructions say to add oil to the suction side of the compressor so it has half the system oil capacity in the compressor. Were there instructions and if so, did you read them? I've seen ac videos where they pick up the instructions and toss them aside without ever looking at them. Manly, but stupid.
My system holds 10 ounces of oil so I put 2 ounces in the compressor and put the shipping cap back on. Aside from not overfilling the compressor, it also won't run out when installing it on the vehicle. Then put the compressor vertical, clutch down, for several minutes so the front seal gets lubricated or it could leak. It says to put the other 5 ounces in the accumulator. Before starting the engine they say to rotate the compressor about 10 turns to make sure there is no oil in the compressor cylinders.
I installed an inline filter and water filter in my air hose at the blow gun. No sense in adding moisture to the system at this point. I could see it did collect water as I blew out the cleaner. The cleaner instructions said to blow air through the evap and condenser for 30 or 40 minutes to dry it as much as possible. Its a non solvent type that says any remaining product in the system is ok as it is compatible with R12 and R134a.
@@trustme7731 thanks for the additional information. I’ll keep these tips handy for the next one. So far, it’s still blowing ice cold, so here’s hoping for a long life on the new system. Appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge!
Excellent video man, thanks
Thanks so much, friend! Appreciate the feedback and support:)
I own a bronco I loved this video thsnk you so much
You are most welcome, friend, and thank you so much for the feedback! Gives me fuel to keep making these repair videos:)
Very well done
Thank you, friend!
@@GrubNGas welcome. Just got done watching. I have the same bronco 96 Eddie Bauer. Just did a full fuel system upgrade. Coil distributor plugs wire fuel injectors vacuum lines ( had a fire) fuel diaphragm Schrader valve and a few others. Having some issues with a rough idle. But I was going to do a/c next.
@@Ray-ux9eh wow! Sounds like you got it rougher than I did, I’m really glad this helped! Best wishes with your rebuild, friend!
@@GrubNGas yep, without bad luck I would have no luck at all.
@@Ray-ux9eh 😳 Hopefully that’ll change!
Bidenomics at its best!!
I’m not sure I follow???
Well detailed video!!!!!
Appreciate you:) Glad it helped!

Would you be able to tell me where you got all the parts from? I'm about to tackle this on my 94 bronco. Thanks for the super informative video!
You’re most welcome! Yes, I got them on Amazon. I’ll try to find the link and post it for you!

Great job on the video!
Would you be interested in selling?
Man I appreciate it, but this one is special to me:) Was hard to find!
Do you remember how much refrigerant you used on this? I bought a similar kit from the same people for a 1991 f150 and it came with a newer style condenser(parallel flow) that looks a lot like yours, along with a flyer that read I would be using up to 20% less refrigerant than my OEM condenser(piccolo tube). But I can't find any info about the exact amount needed anywhere! Tech support to me 54 oz's and I know that can't be right.. Anyway awesome video really helped with my install.
So happy this video helped you! If I recall correctly I used 2.5 cans…but I’m not 100% since it’s been a minute. I know it was less than factory.
