So the A/C compressor in our Expedition is done. I "had" a Chilton or a Haynes manual for it but moved 5 years ago and now it's MIA. Getting a Chilton manual delivered in a few days.

Hoping someone can point me maybe to another thread that may have covered this (or just post their experiences here). I know there are several other parts that must be changed in addition to the compressor to make sure the parts warranty is valid. We use Advance Auto parts.

We have a 2010, 225,000 miles. V8. She runs good. Touch of blue smoke on a cold start up but a good dependable ride. My father-in-law is an HVAC guy and a great mechanic who will assist in the repair. In addition to the above requested tips, if there are any pitfalls or gotcha's I need to watch out for I'd be darn grateful to hear.

Thanks in advance.
