Add A/C?????

[billy150]

Just wondering how easy it would be to add a/c to a used 06 XL f-150? Thanks Bill

Most likely a major PITA at minimum.

Wow! I thought they all came with a/c!
I know my stripped down XL came with it.

I'd start pounding the pavement at junk yards even maybe go as far as finding a "front-clip". Then move the relevant components and instrumentation over to your rig.

Just keep in mind a front clip of a car doesn't exactly mean the same thing to a p/u truck.

So you may have to explain that to the boneyard.

On Edit: Don't forget to have the donor system vacuumed down...

Um... I figure you need the special bracket, AC compressor, and all applicable wiring and tubing. I dont think it would be that big of a deal. Oh, you will probably also need a new serpentine belt, as it will be longer with the AC in line.

also need to get the Inst. Cluster programmed.


the cluster runs all the electronics in the truck.




might be easier to just find a Custom A/C unit. My old 1971 Chevy had a aftermarket A/C unit. looked decent, and blew ice cold.



otherwise, you are probably going to need an entire donor truck. Major PITA IMO

go with the aftermarket....A/C is put in before the engine is at the factory.
