The Final Word from Ford on our 2023 Super Duty Air Conditioning Issues

[@hathawaywego]

We're ready to be done with this, and we know you are too. Thanks for sticking with us!!

[@lincolnls0416]

I am so ready and Done with my Chevy. Now its another rear main seal leaking again. Between the Engine and the Transmission. GM can't find out the problem. Been 11 times in the shop. I only have 42k miles on it. I would rather have an A/C issue then Engine and Transmission issues. I traded my Dodge in for the Chevy. Cause the Dodge Transmission and Fuel regulator issues and it had 27k miles on it. Dodge couldn't figure it out. So yeah I deal with the A/C issue. Never again will I buy a Brand new vehicle. To many electrical problems. Went and pulled out my Excursion. Might buy my Uncles 94 F250. It has 567k miles on it. All original but slightly smokes.

[@ragingbull1267]

I bought a new ford in 1985, it kept blowing the brain ( ECM ) had it in the Stealership several times for weeks at a time only to happen as soon as I pulled off the lot or sometimes didnt even make it out of the parking space on the lot and they acted like I was doing something until finally I made the service manager take it for a test drive before I touched it to leave.... Long story short they finally fixed it and I drove right down the road to another dealership and traded it in for a Chevy... its 2024 and Ive never touched a Ford since that day and never will ever again.

[@jvolstad]

Is the truck still blowing cold?

[@lincolnls0416]

@ragingbull1267 now that is a funny lie. My uncles 85 Ford has over 600k miles and never had any ECM issues. I know bout 100 other people that didn't have an ECM issue. How is it your the only 1. Cause if more then 10 people it would have been on recalls like my Chevys and Dodge's. If you bought it used then the truck was rewired up for aftermarket lights or something.

[@routeoneauto]

Ford contacted me on a Recall on my old Ranger. My local dealer kept blowing me off, giving me the back order BS. I own and operate an Auto Repair, I called the Ford warehouse that I use to get my Ford parts about the Back Order. My salesperson said how many do you want I'll have them on your counter in the morning. So I called my dealer and asked how many they wanted and explained I had an unlimited supply. They decided maybe they could schedule me in. When I got the Survey I was honest, within 10 minutes after someone put a bug up his butt and he was on the phone crying his eyes out, offering free oil changes, Tire Rotations anything - Just Change That Survey. I said, Sorry-not-sorry Man I played Fair, You Gamed me remember?

[@flychomperfly]

​@hathawaywego - remember Steve Lehto in case you need a referral

[@billyyoder8171]

Thank you both for your videos. Please keep us posted. Would like to see how it works during extreme heat. Reason is, if metal was found in the receiver drier, them flushing the condenser is not industry standard. They should have replaced the condenser because flushing it will not clean the metal out of the tubes. The tubes are parallel mounted and flushing it is not going to clean all the tubes. This will cause passages to still be blocked by metal and reduces to cooling capacity of the condenser.

[@cayankeelord3730]

True. General practice is to always replace the types of condensers that incorporate a filter/dryer within them. The problem isn't a restriction of flow, it's that if any metal particles are present, as a result of the compressor destroying itself that didn't get flushed out, then they will migrate to the TXV and can plug the orifice and cause the TXV not to meter the refrigerant properly or not at all. The work was probably done under a warranty claim by a dealership and they will only repair and not alter a system. I've done HVAC work in the past and dealt with this type of problem before, long after a warranty has expired. I've done the process as it was described in the video, but added two micron filters in circuit. One before the TXV, and one before the compressor. That way if there are any foreign contaminants in the system, they will not pass and obstruct the orifice in the TXV or cause a problem for the compressor. The filters are only about $30 each, but it takes some reconfiguring and plumbing work to install them. Kind of a pain, but well worth it.

[@edt689]

As a season phoenix area ac service technician i will not be confident if i dont do the ac condensor. The newer trucks ac condensor are very hard to flush out . Ask me how i know. When these type of small passage way condensor first came out, we flushed them like old style, and its a 50/50 chance the debri did not get flushed out. The manager im thinking does not have confidence of the job becuase ford did not include condensor as well.

[@iam9809]

Hell9 from Texas :) Big Red is looking good. I've been listening to your post and I'm very happy you have the beautiful truck back and it's cooling 😊 I'm thinking one thing the dealer should have done that would have completed the repair, they should have replaced the Condenser!! I know they said it was flushed, but that is not going to completely clean all the debris out. Todays Condensers have very small passages internally, and it's impossible to get all the debris out. I'm a master automotive technician in a ram dealer, I would have done all those things and most importantly replaced the Condenser!! I do hope you will have cold AC for the rest of this amazing trucks life with you two. I send you a big Howdy from Texas and best wishes 😊😊😊 Jeff F

[@richardbeals1403]

Based on the work order you posted, they did not replace the entire AC system. They replaced some components, flushed others and put it back together.

[@hathawaywego]

That’s what I’m thinking and exactly what I was worried about. I guess time will tell! Thanks so much for watching! ~C

[@josephpuchel6497]

I guess it would have been better for everything that has Freon flowing in it should be replaced. Oh evaporator that’s inside dashboard. That be a project. I think flushing several times would clean those small particles out. Isn’t the TXV a screen would catch bigger particles.

[@hathawaywego]

We caught that too. I'm willing to bet that if it were not warranty work and we were paying for it they would have replaced everything. ~D

[@ronfox8905]

Reading some comments here, and i am suprised that they didnt replace the condensor. If its a parallel condensor, it cant be flushed (passages too small), it has to be replaced especially with metal found in system. Maybe ford updated their parts as well as switching back to 134a. I also will be watching for any updates

[@scotts4125]

@@josephpuchel6497 The TXV regulates the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator. It could also have a screen on the inlet but it's purpose is keep refrigerant in the evap at a predetermined level based on conditions.

[@cliffbailey437]

Hey guys! I'm new to your channel. I am an AZ native and BTW, I have a cabin in Vernon.. still live in Phx, but I also get in your neighborhood often! Wanted to say that from now on, you should try to make an effort to go to Sanderson Ford in Glendale for your warranty services. I have been using them for over 50 years.. me and my family members. Never have treated me as poorly as what you have experienced. I love my 2017 F350 SRW rig. Got it souped up and I'm getting 17+MPG with the upgrades on the engine. Couldn't be happier with its overall performance. I have a 2019 Vanleigh Beacon 5th wheel that I tow. Don't give up on your rig! These issues with a bad dealer is very frustrating! But, they're not all lemons. If you used to go to Peoria Ford.. yeah.. steer clear of them! That's where I bought my rig. 2 years of service from them and then I went back to Sanderson. I even bought an extended warranty from Sanderson which is a Ford extended warranty. Best on your future travels! Don't give up on the F350.. Cliff B.

[@abw121]

As someone who rebuilds vehicles as a career then as a hobby……the second any AC system has contaminated oil and Freon the system hoses can be flushed along with the Evaporator core. But the dryer/accumulator, compressor and condenser needed to be replaced. Why? The small particles of the original compressor will contaminate the old condenser and dryer and are not easily removed during flushing? So after the system runs with these small particles it will make its way back into the new compressor and cause premature failure………This is documented in several product journals regarding AC overhaul and can be viewed on KZbin. The Dealership followed bad practice? Keep your documents for future use.

[@hathawaywego]

Exactly what we’re worried about. Really would love to get rid of it before it happens again, but not sure if that’s possible. 🤦🏼‍♀️ ~C

[@abw121]

@@hathawaywego When you read off the shop work order they removed the radiator and condenser? Which seems correct. Just to get at the hoses. But the flushing of the condenser and reusing it is a Bozo move. Just had a Jeep Wrangler with 25000 miles and failed condenser that was done the same way at Dealership. It lasted just over a month in the heat. Now with compressor bearing squealing. And pressure reading all dropping? Owner went to private Radiator and AC shop who diagnosed failed compressor again? The AC system needs to be NASA clean room clean!

[@todaylets2583]

@@abw121 as an automotive AC guy, you are 100% correct. The tubes in the condenser are so small now days, you will never get them clean. In the old days, 70's and 80's you could get away with a flush most of the time. Now days; NO way. The only thing I didn't replace was the lines and the evap.

Y'all did good on your warranty issue complaint! It got your more subs and it got me too. The only reason I'm here is just to learn from it. I've got a few warranty issue youtube vidoeos on my channel with my RV. Ford truck warranty complaints must be a better topic than Thor Motor Coach RV warranty complaints. LOL I've learned that no matter how much social media posts you put up about your problems, these manufacturers and dealers could care less. Does it get the word out, yes it does but the average consumer turns a blind eye to it and still buys what they want to buy even if they saw a video about a massive issue. This will not hurt the sale of Ford Super Duties. However, it should. The vast majority of consumers still don't do their research and I've preached this on my channel.

So I call the dealership and asked if I could get my oil changed today. The girl said to ne... " I think he's at lunch" I was like ok do I need to make an appointment? She said Yes you do, so I said ok let me make an appointment anytime today. She like "Well he's at lunch" I'm like you can't write down the appointment? She's like no. I'm like ok thank you and hung up. Went to the local quick lube and prayed they didn't screw it up. If it's that difficult to get a oil change I won't be calling them again!

my experience tells me to also replace the condenser. it is of a microchannel design, although more efficient the passages are tiny. flushing is not fully effective due to the size, hence the "micro". replacement would added expensive hours to the project. if it fails again remember this nomenclature "microchannel condenser " when they balk at replacement . good luck.

[@jimmyaber5920]

The condensers are not suggested to be flushed. The flow is parallel and some passages with debris can remain contaminated as the others will pass air and solvent and leave a plugged passage with debris to get loose later and kill another compressor or plug expansion valve. I am a certified master tech with 50 years experience and this is something that cropped up 30 years ago when R134a refrigerant rolled out and condensers had to have much high heat dissipation. Aluminum parallel flow condensers replaced the previous single path serpentine flow condensers used with R12 refrigerant.

Thank you for the support! ~D

If the old compressor "blew up" as in the internal pieces went into the AC system you have to replace the condenser and other parts because you will never get the parts out of the system. The new compressor will be damaged and warranty would be voided on a new compressor. If just the clutch on the AC compressor went out then you can just change the compressor motor.

Can I ask how long ya'll been married? You two remind me of my wife and I. We only have 15 years under our belt. Life is so much better when you have your best friend and soul mate standing at your side. I'm glad ya'll got your pickup fixed. I have a 2007.5 Dodge ram 3500 6.7L cummins and we tow our 37ft camper and I'm dreading the day the transmission goes. It's not if but when. I would love to have a brand new tow rig, but they are too complicated to work on and too expensive to buy. I wish you the best of luck and safe travels. Looking forward to new videos.

Well I’m glad to hear good news. If everything else is going good trucks a keeper ??

[@landscapingspecialist]

My mind is perpetually blown with what you all have to put up with on this truck deal. Just completely baffled by it.

[@BigT-u4z]

As I've mentioned before, I hope you got an extended warranty. If you just have the 36,000 warranty when you are traveling milage will go by real quick. They put on the old style compressor and not the new style compressor, I bet it goes out just a few miles after warranty goes out. It's getting cooler now not being used as much. It may go out next summer when you need it again. Wish you the best.

Congratulations! The whole problem should have been addressed properly by Ford long ago. Check all front end parts for those pesky plastic connectors. All it takes is one at 70 mph the wiggle abunch loose😂.

That's why I have a GMC. I even had the A/C unit literally MELTED in my truck. 3 days in to out, and then they did a complete cleaning by a professional 1 extra day.

Im a Chevy guy, so I have to watch, sorry for your troubles, ok lets get this vid started.

[@user-mi9up2bn7v]

God bless the Both of you!

You are very good at video editing!

[@natterman2037]

Glad its over but time will tell! My mom sticks herself often from pins in her fabric. She mostly makes quilts but i feel i hear her scream ouch once a week!😂😂

[@darnellgraveline1595]

Great that you guys have this delema to a 'cool' conclusion. It's unfair that a billion dollar industry that we all rely on so much in life gets to treat working people, the same ones that made them prosperous, should have to go through this much to get a new un-abused vehicle of their flawed design repaired under the warranty that is supposed to prevent this kind of corporate abuse. A long road for sure. (And I know an exhausting one at that), but thank you for your time and effort for putting these high and mighty back into reality. If you build through design a beautiful but flawed vehicle (and expensive at that) you better tack your lashings and fix it!

[@cayankeelord3730]

If they really wanted an appreciation survey filled out by you, THEY should have washed and polished your truck AND filled it up with diesel for you, accompanied by an apology for all the delays and hassles.

Congratulations 🎉
