Air Gap

I have a 1999 F250 and my manual does not tell me what the air gap on the AC clutch should be. Anybody have that info?

If memory serves me, 0.017" - 0.035" is the spec, with 0.025" being what most people shoot for.

Autozone sells a shim kit if you need. I had to grind down a few of them to get where I needed but I am pretty sure I adjusted mine to .25" also.
