Does anyone know how much refrigerant is in an F350 with electronic climate control? Installing a bulletproof engine oil cooler. Have to recover the refrigerant and remove the condenser. I'm familiar with commercial/ industrial systems but not sure about the amount of 134A to put back in. Either weight or proper operating pressures would be help full.
Thanks, Ron

About 40 oz if I remember. Should be a sticker on the radiator cover telling you how much.

 

You don't actually have to remove the condenser. You can roll the drivers side end up and attach the oil cooler without having to discharge the A/C system. It's a bit of a pain by yourself but 2 people can accomplish it easily. I used a bungee cord to hold the condenser up by the hood latch, attached the oil cooler, then rolled it all back in place and plumbed it up. I've done 2 different trucks this way: one 04 and one 06.

 

I just checked the sticker on my truck and an F series and Ex without rear air takes 2 lbs. 10 oz. Of 134A and 9 oz. Of oil.

 

Thanks guys. Will try the install in the truck first like Tim did. If not will take it out.
