i know lotsa mechanics in this area, and i can tell u if they're straight wif u or not. no offense to ur mechanic.
also, if u need original ford or motorcraft parts, let me know. i got a 25% discount and i believe i can help u out there. i dont charge anything. no catch. jus a fellow diesel owner trying to help out another. i usually shop wif mac hail ford. i also got a buddy at mac haik chevy too. it helps. lol.
jus need part numbers and we can meet and i'll take u to get ur parts, and ur in charge of the bill.....or i'm sure we can arrange something.
call me or email me or pm me. we should talk. have a great weekend!

A 10mm and 13mm swivel head GearWrench will be your best friend for this part of the job. There just isn't an easy way around it. You'll need to unbolt the A/C compressor from the block to gain proper access to it. Given that there are two parts of the harness that clip to the block, one of which is directly behind the compressor, I refuse to install this in any other way, other than the way it came off.
