    AC System on 2012 135,000mile 6.2

    One last evac & charge yet again. It's up and running w/o issue. AC machine gave me some fits. Long story short I got the oil added back in that I needed and did a finial charge. Took 1.5lbs of R134A quickly and everything ran smooth. Cleaned the truck up and took it for a 200 mile trip...

    AC System on 2012 135,000mile 6.2

    The expansion valve on this system should adjust and not let it blow cold air (38 to 44F just out vents) in 35F ambient temp correct? I overthink everything

    AC System on 2012 135,000mile 6.2

    I've driven this truck for 10 years and all of the sudden I'm questioning myself as well as my aged tech experience. Question.....Will a 2012 Raptor AC work when it's 40F outside driving down the road? -I can only get my shop to about 60F to 75F. It's 30 to 40F outside here in SW KS right...

    AC System on 2012 135,000mile 6.2

    Had to put my purse down. On a vacuum for a couple days waiting on a couple odds and ends.

    AC System on 2012 135,000mile 6.2

    Expansion valve wouldn't be bad if I had 6' arms and I had an eye on one of my hands. I've got my truck on a Bendpak lift so makes the topside a little more challenging. Compressor and the two other lines and I'll have it under a vacuum. Not sure I'll finish it this evening. Being out of...

    AC System on 2012 135,000mile 6.2

    Condenser is in (Forgot how fun that little task is). Compressor and line sets are out. Next up is to remove expansion valve and flush Evap. Can't say I'm enjoying this very much. I wish I had access to ALLDATA or similar these days. Oh well, I'll get it. I got lucky and borrowed a AC...

    AC System on 2012 135,000mile 6.2

    You wouldn't in my neck of the woods.........Closest Ford Dealer I trust is 150 miles away (Unfortunately) and they quoted me $3200. My previous profession was a auto/diesel tech. I primarily work on muscle car stuff these days. Newest vehicle I have done an AC system on was my 2004 FX4. I'm...

    AC System on 2012 135,000mile 6.2

    All new parts minus evaporator in which I will flush it. Luckily I have access to a ACR2000 134A recovery and charge machine so I don't expect any issues. Compressor appears to be one of the tougher items to R&R.

    AC System on 2012 135,000mile 6.2

    AC System on 2012 135,000mile 6.2 Replaced the condenser on my 2012 Ford Raptor a couple years back due to the oil cooler leak. Serviced the AC properly however the compressor shortly after started making that "I'm gonna give up on you some day" sound. Fast forward to a few weeks ago it...

    5 Star X3 Programer after 19S07 Dealer Visit.

    Contacted 5 star and haven't heard back yet. Via email and tried to phone in. As mentioned above, I have a X3 5 star unit. Bought it in 2013 for my 2012 Raptor 6.2. It's been great. Had the (Transmission downshift recall 19S07) so I took it (after reverting back to stock tune) and had my...

    Best place to order OEM rear shocks?

    Curious what the bill was on those? I paid just under $1700 for the set with mounts, nuts, rubbers. I almost ordered from Rock Auto but back in April they were more iffy than Fairwayfordparts.com. Maybe I should have went that direction!

    Best place to order OEM rear shocks?

    These look better on the shop wall than the new one's on the bench. 2.5hours and install was complete. (Have a lift in my shop so that helps as well as a *****'n set of tools from my previous profession)
