Hi Ron. Thanks so much for your video. Please include the link to the touchscreen you originally installed from Amazon. I would like to check it out. Also, nice of you to include Kelly's voice at the end of the video expressing her appreciation for you fixing this issue for her. Way to go!

Hi , Thank you for your perfect information , 🙏 can i find inside spare part about this model fule pumpe ?

Would you happen to know why when I try to turn the key to OFF the truck stays on? I don’t know what I did and I’m new to fixing car stuff , especially electrical. It’s a 60 Chevy Apache.

Where u able to drill the pedal without removing the pedal from the truck?

Does this set up work if you have return line?

We also have a sliing window, about 21.5" gap when slide fully open... unfortunately, the midea just exceeds that width... I dont know about the unit itself minus the bracket,maybe it would fit but that bracket, needs 24" and seems to be essential for a secure install.. ours is 30ft second story... Im Not good with wood working and have only basic tools, no routers or fancy saws...looks like you did an Great job on urs but frankly, its intimidating to someone who is not a woodworker and hast the tools needed...we have been using a portable unit with a single hose.. noisey and not efficient

I am wondering how secure this setup is. If someone wanted to break in it seems they could raise up the back of the unit to angle out the window. Is the window screwed to the sill on the top?

Genius! Thank you so much sir, you are a treasure.

The only glaring problems I see with this is the lack of weather sealing on practically every side. 1. It doesn't seem you caulked or shielded any of the new window frame to prevent rain from getting in or cool air from getting out. There's the obvious light leaking in on the right side the same thing on the left side. Some of which can't be caulked and needs a more precise cut. 2. There's no weather sealing between the old sliding window and the 2x4 you used to create the support for the new frame. Can't use caulk for that and would have to somehow create a new seal for that window. Otherwise, this is a solid idea that just needs the details ironed out a bit more so that its not flushing away all the energy efficiency and prone to water leaks.

Just like downtown!

If you’re installing a branch box, don’t you need to turn the dip switch on from the outdoor unit SW2 dip switch 5 to ON position? Having trouble w this unit

Hey, how do you ad attachments?

I'm replacing upper bearing on 1960 chevy truck steering column, bearing came with spring and retainer when reinstalling shaft it would not pass through retainer tried to force through and damaged bearing. I was wondering if you had any tips on installing the bearing.

Where did you get the touch screen,?

Excellent work. I will be putting one of these in for a customer, my first branch box install. How did you determine the additional refrigerant amount? I’ve been reading the spec sheet and instructions for condenser pre-charged pipe length but have only seen maximum total pipe length for system.

Any chance you’d have the dimensions for the brass bearing you made for your steering column?

Great video thanks!

I am going to do a similar install myself, but I wasn't sure about the nitrogen/refrigerant component. I was wondering if it requires special certification for adding refrigerant. How did you learn to do nitrogen pressurization? Also, can you explain the process for adding drain lines for condensate?

Man you are a brillant man! God bless you

12:00 Very nice install with the custom brackets and protective "catwalk" over the cassette unit. Did you work in aerospace engineering? NASA or the Air Force would have benefitted from someone smart and creative like you.

You do great work Ron!

8:57 What a complex system. What could possibly go wrong? < sarcasm > Call me a slow to adapt to change Neanderthal. All that efficiency is exciting while it is trouble free. 10:55 The line set routing and channels are a work of ART!

Do these outdoor units ever need to have coils cleaned? What would be the best way to access the coils for cleaning? Can you just pull the fan and clean from the front?

That is a genius life hack to grab power from the cig lighter, I never thought of that. I need to install a pump like this in my 86 AMC Eagle, it's hard to start after it's been sitting.

Good stuff. Personally I probably wouldn't have drilled a hole there, I would have "hid" the button just under the dash for aesthetics.

What is the copper thing that comes with the ignition switch for?

we are doing this on our old willys jeep...it has the same problem after sitting a few days and it also vapor locks all the time in hot weather and pushing the gas through the blockage with an electric pump will get it running again...the electric pump can also act as a backup in case the mechanical pump fails out on the trail...if you are going to use it this way, make sure to carry a spare length of rubber fuel line in case you have to bypass a leaking mechanical pump.

I wish I had your skills because my vertical sliding window with a/c unit is unsightly. I live in an apartment so I’m thinking if I do it your way (I Love) I’m going to have to invest some cash and hire an engineer guy to help me. I don’t think this would work for me but I like your idea.

In the process of planning for this exact thing, thanks for posting this!

I want to do exactly this. My window opening is 21 1/8" wide. The Midea website indicates 22" or more is required. I have noticed in the past that this reported minimum opening usually includes the side filler pieces. Can someone measure theirs and tell me if without those side filler pieces if the main unit itself will fit 21". I have the 10000 BTU unit here (same reported dimensions as 8000 and 12000) still in its box as I didn't expect it would need a window larger than 22. I don't mind clipping the bottom 5 inches of the window frame side C-channel to just barely get 22" maybe if required since I really want quiet AC in this particular room. Prefer if I can slip it into 21" though. Thanks.

You could make big bucks, and really help out the community by selling those shafts.

i need to get a shaft like that

May be a long shot but do you have any idea what size that outlet fitting is? Is it a 1/4 FIP to a 1/8 MIP reducer? I was able to find one but cant get the double flared line to seal for nothing. So I didnt know if it was a special fitting or not. Thanks!

am I missing anything from the video? I did not see you made any change on the wiring from the video? BTW, great video!

Excellent video. My only concern with your installation would be water running off the AC Unit itself sitting next to that gasget causing premature failure. I am planning to install my RV's AC unit on a curb. I'm planning to have a smaller curb just a little larger than the AC opening. I can heat weld it to my TPO roofing membrane and then counter flash under the Unit and add a drip edge to the outter perimeter of the shroud to allow the water to flow away from the gasget.

Does the mechanical pump block the flow of the electric one?

I’m so glad you posted this🎉

He's lucky to call you Opa!

What size wire is used for connecting power from the condenser to the branch box?

The only thing I would change is the glass fuel filter . 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 starter !

Did you convert from non-power steering to a upgraded power steering? I have an old 77 deluxe w/o power steering. I will need to install a pump. Any suggestions will appreciated.

Some scary wiring

Great work!

Just picked up one of these units myself. This is a great video, I was planning on doing the exact same for the fresh air!

How long is the bent part looks like maybe 1/2 or 1 inch in length

I understand now when to use a 240V GFCI breaker, thanks for explaining it so clearly.

Do you have a check valve installed before the Flologic unit? If not, have you had any issues with false alarms? Also, are you able to see your water usage over time?

👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Hey Ron, I kinda like this. Got me thinking? So what if I installed exactly like you did. Then instead of a momentary switch I installed a off/on/on momentary? So, for normal operation you would push the toggle arm to momentary, then release which defaults back to off and the mechanical pump takes over(again just like ypurs), However, IF, your mechanical pump ever fails(which life says it will sooner or later), one could switch the toggle to on which would stay as it is not spring loaded. Now the elect pump takes over thus not leaving you stranded??? Would this work or would it push to much fuel into the bowl and flood? As long as the elect fuel pump has the auto shut off feature one could even put a inline psi reducer after the pump to control the flow. Example: GM235cu carb requires 2-4 psi to carb. What's your thoughts? Thanks for the tutorial.

How about the return
