No climate control on max ac full cold no blending

[HomerWinzlow]

Did it run on Max with fresh air? NO Did it run on Normal with recirculated air? NO The only difference is the water valve which they evidently require because the Super Duty has an entirely different plenum and air box for the AC and is not efficient enough without the water valve. I still want to see documentation of your statement that this is a defect. I then might be able to find a documented resolution for you. I see NO TSB or service message stating such.

The only documentation I have is what I write down from the conversations with the Service manager and the Ford customer Service Rep, both of them are telling me it’s a design flaw in the design and to DSB the truck I would rather them fix this truck so it does not make me ill while I drive it... I will start to record all my phone calls now since this is what i will need . i have even had ford call me back and confirm that it is a design flaw so *shrug*

Some people I Have spoke to have the same a/c system in their super duties as my f150 and can blend the temp on max a/c in their 2004 SD's
When I go to the BSD if that’s what I choose I will have their names and vin numbers... my problem maybe a leak somewhere as a few other guys complaining about this same problem , either from the exhaust system or leaking glow plug boots .. I need a vehicle I can heat and cool my truck while recalculating the air,cause drawing the fresh air from the outside is making me sick from something, if ford cant provide that in their product I dam sure will go elsewhere that’s not a threat that’s a fact, their sales rep should of told me of this problem, I was told the a/c would work just like my f150 did in my truck 5-6 hrs a day 6 days a week comfort is a top priority


There will still be a problem even if i could blend my a/c on max and not pull fresh air but .. something is leaking or causeing the fumes

thanks for the help Homer i hope you can help me find a solution .. what these forums are all about

[HomerWinzlow]

If I had a VIN I could possibly find out more.

[FLFordOwner]

i emailed it to you

[HomerWinzlow]

Thanks, Ill check it out when OASIS is up. Its been down all day.

Nothing found from Oasis on Climate Control defects except that some vehicles are having vacuum pump failures causing the system to default to defrost. Nothing about temperature control problems at all on record.

There have been a number of oil leak problems identified on some vehicles which might explain some of your fumes.

Your vehicle shows no repair history in the last year claimed to Ford by any dealer.

I have the shop paper work i learned from nissan that they dont document anything i had 6 transmissions go out in a truck in 2 yrs and when i pulled a oasis on the truck it didnt say much

if there is nothing wrong with the truck wonder why ford is telling me and the dealer is telling me that i should start a dsb and let ford buy the truck back and when i say ford i mean the 1800 number rep and the service manager both .. there is something not right

Oasis will only report warranty claims paid in the past 12 months. Dealer managers have access to reports all the way back to day one if they need to.
All I can say at this point is since you have purchased 2 new vehicles in the past 3 years they want to keep your business and are willing to do the buy back to keep you thier customer. This will cost them but they would rather lose a couple thousand now than a long term repeat customer. Your friends who say they can adjust thier super duty temp in Max ac must not have 6.0 diesel models. They still sold 7.3 in 03 as well as a couple gas engines.

they are brand new 04 6.0's bought in dec of 03 and on

if i could run mine on normal a/c and not get sick after driving it for 30 minutes i wouldnt be bitching

my truck was bought jan 15 04 with 8 miles on it

can i install a different a/c system into this truck ? the simple solution is to control my a/c on max a/c to shut out outside air but there is still something wrong

even if they buy this back i still have to replace it (need to look at my options)
