Yeah I’ve never felt it necessary to replace a ton of parts on A/C systems but I judge it on a case-by-case basis now. If the compressor blew up and there’s metal fragments in the system, I replace everything possible. If it’s just a leak or clutch issue I’ll replace the compressor and dryer and orifice/expansion valve and leave the rest alone. I know lots of shops that won’t mess with A/C repair unless they replace everything though, usually the dealers are that way. On my own vehicles over the years I’ve replaced compressors or singular pieces many many times with good to great results almost every time though. Years ago I didn’t even pull vacuums on my own stuff and they always still worked fine when I charged em up. There’s alot of gray area in a/c repair, and car repair for that matter. The real trick is to know when you need to do something 100% by the book, and when you can leave a couple pages or chapters out.

My 2¢ worth is: Use wheel bearing grease, specifically disc brake wheel bearing grease, on fittings and fasteners other than exhaust system. Disc brake wheel bearing grease stays put and doesn't dry out quickly. Silver Anti Seize by Permatex may have glass beads in it, meant to "crush up" and become a lubricant of sorts after searing heat has evapo'd the carrier lube. Silver Anti Seize is perfect for exhaust especially Stainless Steel threads. It will help keep them from galling. Other kinds of lubricants don't stand a chance on exhaust fasteners. Silver Anti Seize used anywhere else will make you an enemy to many mechanics. They don't like it for getting the Silver goo all over themselves and they will hate you for using it on wheel lugs and fittings. Truth be known, they aren't keen on grease either. They'd rather destroy your parts and charge you for new ones than get dirt and greasy. There's Your Dinner. ben/ michigan

The only main reason why I had brought it up the first time was because of warranty.

The ICP sensor lives under the valve cover and its a real pain in the rear end to get to. The customer knew this and requested that I replace it since I was already there. Against my better judgement, I did what he asked. It didn't last a week before it shorted out internally. That truck lost 2 days work while I diagnosed and ultimately put the old one back in. Months later the truck is still on the road. If it ain't broke, dont fix it! 👍

I went to an A/C shop only for a recharge and a high pressure hose replacement on a Suburban with dual A/C. He put in an adjustable pressure switch and set it to what he wanted with the level of charge for the orifice he installed which was white, he changed it to red as he felt from experience the GM A/C worked better with that orifice and a lower charge of refrigerant. Those aluminum pipes by the suitcase now get frosty cold and the inside vents read about 36 degrees on an R12 system using R134a. It takes maybe 10 minutes with dual A/C to cool down enough to lower the fan speeds and be comfortable.

I agree with you completely, Mr. O! New = never ever works. Putting bad parts in place of good ones will cause you more headaches than you can imagine.

I agree about not replacing parts on this job. Simply a coincidence that the pressure switch crapped out now that there's a working compressor and a correct charge. Not to mention, you didn't get the vehicle and told to diag the matter, the customer simply asked if you would replace the compressor and recharge. You did just that and thats all the job really required.

Not possible. Every mouth wrench knows that if you wash the engine underhood area of a car it will blow up!!!

I was wondering why the high side pressure kept going lower? I realize that by revving up the engine, the fan was moving more air across the condenser and thus lowering the high side but this one seemed low to me. Anyway, I agree that you did the right thing. I just put a compressor on a 2006 Saturn Vue with 100000 miles that was leaking from the case. I did replace the dryer but nothing else. Guess what, it works perfectly.

Appreciate the commentary on the back end Eric. There's a lot of guys who change stuff, "while we're at it". but I like your assessment: "That's nonsense." :D

You did it 100% correct the first time. Anyone who thinks otherwise is replacing stuff just to cover all their bases hoping something works.

That is not a comeback. Although many customers think when u touch their car, and money exchanges hands, u r responsible for every noise, clunk, clink, check engine light et cetera. I am sure this guy knows parts can and do fail. And I am sure he loves u like we all do.

I swear that truck was one of the best trucks GM ever produced.

I had a car that would stop producing (cold) air on warm days. Customer complaint was aircon failing when warm outside. Turned out that the temp sensor for the evaporator was busted and the air con would ice up the evaporator to the point no air could flow through it. Air con and fan were both functioning fine, but no cold air was coming out because of ice blocking the flow. Lesson learned: don't take the customer literally and make sure you have all required conditions and sensors ticked off.

Oh ya, the first few minutes of this video, with lawnmower man making Mr O laugh. Price less.

Ya fix what’s broken, you are going to get comebacks no matter what you do or don’t do. Stuff breaks, I remember a video you did when the starter went out while the car was in the bay.

You made the perfect call with it. It's just unfortunate that the pressure switch failed so soon. The game we play sometimes plays us.

It takes a humble person to admit mistakes, Eric O takes this to a teaching moment. An honest man who doesn't take the customer by replacing everything in sight and hoping it fixes the problem. He takes the time to diagnose and use the data and his knowledge to help the customer. He's one in a million mechanic. You know how to tell a good mechanic from bad mechanic.
