Well the total was $550 to refill. I think it was $17.99/oz for the refrigerant and $120 for them to leak check and service it. It was a wince moment for sure but I still got it all done for half of what Ford quoted me and a lot faster.
thanks. I’m already back up and running. Took me about 25 minutes to swap the condenser and then Firestone leak checked and filled the system. That cost me an arm and a leg but I still came in well under what Ford quoted me.
FoD is going to aftermarket stuff so that wouldn’t be warranty and as for me and my original post I caused the damage to the condenser myself. It wasn’t anything warranty should’ve covered at that point especially with me removing the skid plate and adding the 6” lift.
Looking to sell my 589fab hidden winch mount with attached smittybilt gen2 xrc9500 winch. Winch was $350 and mount was $499.99. Will sell $750. Winch was never used. Installed on truck for about 10 months but am going with a lightbar there now. Located just south of Ft. Worth TX. This is heavy...
The alternator wasn't me. This is the only issue I have had with my truck. What sucks is i took my hidden winch off last week and now this. So yes a skid plate will be going on now. lol
If I replace the parts myself and have it charged it’ll be about the same as my deductible and won’t hit my insurance. But if I can’t do it myself for some reason I may take that route.
Thank you. I was quoted $150 to recharge the system by a couple local shops so i think i will do it myself and pray. Hell even if i completely screw up the first condenser im still way ahead of the $1400 autonation Ford wants to charge me to do it lol
Yes I plan on replacing the condenser itself but all of the refrigerant already escaped when the big hole was put in the condenser so there will be nothing for me to evacuate. I will just be taking it somewhere to refill.
On Saturday my AC started blowing warm. Took it to the dealership today and they said the AC Condenser has a hole in it and needs replaced. They want to charge me $1400 to replace the condenser. Does that seem like an OK price? What all is involved in replacing it? I'm extremely handy with...
on the 4WD trucks the rear cross member has to be cut out to fit the new lifted one due to the new location of the front differential. On a 2wd like mine all Did was cut the front diff mount off of the new crossmember and everything bolted directly on.
well when I bought it I had zero intention of doing anything to it.Then I decided to change things. It spends 90% of its time on pavement and then when we go to Colorado twice a year we do most of the trails with the rear locker no problem. I have zero need for a 4x4 so it serves my needs well.
