Re: Cracked Compressor
Compressor wasn’t cracked. It had an obvious leak at the case halves and shaft seal. Replaced the compressor and going to change the fan clutch in case it was causing high pressure.

Re: Cracked Compressor
I checked with the parts store. I did replace the belt and tensioner. The parts store said there was a recall on these vehicles due to refrigerant slugging. The fix was programming the system to cycle on and off when it first starts up. I didn't get much oil out of the compressor when I took it off.

Re: Cracked Compressor
I got a chance to look at this one again yesterday. No refrigerant left in the system. System leaked fast when pressurized with nitrogen. Took the compressor off and it has an obvious shaft seal leak. Is there anything I should look for that may have caused the shaft seal to start leaking so quickly...

Re: Cracked Compressor
I was worried about possible debris from the compressor. I wasn’t sure how it failed. Can also get a better compressor warranty if the condenser is also changed.

Cracked Compressor
I replaced the compressor on a 2001 Tahoe about a year and a half ago. The clutch was bad on the old compressor. The owner said it started short cycling while he was out of town. He had it diagnosed and they said the compressor case had a crack in it. It has front and rear air. He would like me to w...

Re: 2013 Ford Raptor not co.d enough
I got to work on this truck again this morning. A previous owner had already tried to add a resister to the temp sensor going to the evaporator. The resister was only plugged in on one side. Plugged it in and the performance didn’t change. I added 356k of resistance. Vent temp got down to 45 on the ...

Re: 2013 Ford Raptor not co.d enough
It doesn’t have an accumulator. It has a dryer on the side of the condenser.

Re: 2013 Ford Raptor not co.d enough
Original complaint was it just wasn’t cool enough. Vent temp was in the high 50s. I added a couple ounces of refrigerant before I noticed a big oily spot on the condenser. Owner of the truck installed a new condenser and I pressure checked, vacuumed, and recharged. I think this truck still uses an o...

Re: VW A/c help
I’d say control valve on the compressor. Pressure readings will help confirm this.

2013 Ford Raptor not co.d enough
A friend replaced a leaking condenser on this truck and brought it to me for a recharge. Pressure tested with nitrogen and it held so I vacuumed the system. It was below 500 microns and it held that so I charged it with 24 ounces of refrigerant. Pressures were 38 and 225. Temp outside was 90 and hum...
