hear you ,i'd advise the world to avoid the brand fully, what a crook of stinky they are , compresor issues where are they made?? ,

 

I ended up going with a used 22 f250 tremor with 10k miles. The AC issue on the 24s was part of the decision to go used instead of a new 24.

 

Compressor died 25 June, finally replaced 26 August. Hallelujah!!

 

No but it sure does help with visibility for others to get this information.

 

A/C is old technology. Seems like the earliest affected Super Duty is Aug 2023 in the chart above. Same A/C design worked fine for the earlier 2023 models and all the generations before that. Someone at Ford may have said that, but it sounds like a generic answer since nobody really knows. Doesn't mean there's anything wrong with the A/C design.

 

I'm curious IF or why YN 33 A : Refrigerant R1234YF was utilized, per the Repair Order posted by @Mattz400 on August 17, 2024 in Post #335 of this thread:



I would like to see the tag on the AC compressor itself in this instance, which identifies the refrigerant called for.

Some users reported that their 2024 Model Year A/C system still uses R134a, not the newer R1234, as shown above.

It may be necessary to use a creeper to slide underneath the truck to see the label on the A/C compressor, as @*TooLmaker* did when he took this photo below, as originally posted on June 22, 2024 in Post #51 of this thread:



I wish more members with this problem would post a photo of this label... and a clearer one at that, so that the SUPPLIER CODE and MFR PLANT ID was legible.

Multiple photos from many different persons similarly affected might help this community identify if the SUPPLIER CODE and MFR PLANT ID of their REPLACEMENT compressor matches the SUPPLIER CODE and MFR PLANT ID of the FAILED compressor.

And we can still use more verification of which refrigerant is utilized... since we now have conflicting information from dealership service records (R1234), versus the label shown on the above sample compressor (R134a), where both vehicles are 2024 Super Duties.

 

I will try and get a pic this evening. Good eye on the refrigerant. I hadn’t even noticed the change in type.

 

I'll add my compressor label to the mix even though I haven't had an issue yet. My compressor was built on week 25 of 2024 so that week started June 17th. My truck was assembled on July 8th. I'll certainly update if I do have an issue but maybe earlier compressor builds will post their date and we can narrow down the bad date range.

 

I am not having any issue with my A/C but here is a picture of mine from a 2024 F250 with manufacture date of Feb. 2024

 

Thanks for posting that. One thing I notice is the part # at the top of the label has different revisions. Yours ends in -AL and mine in -CC. If I'm not mistaken I think that might show changes to the compressor. Not sure if it makes any difference but mine is on a 7.3L.

 

 

I am #82 on the list. The compressor and the condenser have been at the dealer since July 19th. Still waiting for the battery junction box to come in. Was given a back order date of August 30. About a week before the August 30, dealer told me that the part, (battery junction box), has been updated. Meaning there is a new replacement for the original. There are 4 being released on August 30 and 177 are on back order. Well the 30th came and went. Now I have a back order date of September 20th.
As I stated before,(dealer told me), the battery junction box was having the compressor run constantly when the truck was on, causing the compressor to seize and if the battery junction box isn’t replaced the same thing would happen again.
I believe I’m the only one talking about needing the battery junction box. I heard someone talking about the compressor as just a temporary fix? Could this be the solution, the battery junction box??

You never know with these electrical/control/software or programming issues, because I had a computer that wouldn’t start up because of the mouse that was plugged into it!

 

@Mattz400

Please let us know what your servicing dealer says
after you present them with the photo of your compressor label
(showing R134a) that they themselves installed,

and also present them with the Repair Order
(showing R1234) that they themselves prepared and submitted to Ford.

Your dealer also used kit YN 33, appropriate for R1234,
whereas everyone else's repair order showed kit YN 23,
which is the correct kit to use for R134a.

Curious what your dealer will do.

 

Hey guys, first post here. Hoping to grab fords attention.

A week or two ago I took delivery of my company’s brand new 2024 f550 lariat. Super nice truck. Or so I thought.

At first the Ac was working great, vented seats were cool and the air was cold.

Fast forward to 681 miles and the AC stopped blowing cold and was instantly blowing hot air. Like as if the heat was on high. I instantly googled the issues and came across this thread, thanks for that by the way. Here is so far what I have logged.
Received 8/31/24

Ac stopped working 9/4/24 with 681 miles

9/5/24- Dropped truck off at the dealer
9/5/24-Ac compressor clutch diagnosed: 2-5 day lead time on parts.

Picked up the truck the same day- waiting on parts.

9/6/24 was called saying parts were in

9/7/24 scheduled service for 9/12/24

9/12/24 dropped off truck at dealer at 7:30am for scheduled work (replace failed compressor clutch) no loaner available, no offer for a ride. Was told truck would be done by the end of the day. 1,xxx miles now

9/12/24- 4pm was called and said the tech was having issues with the part that was ordered, correct parts to be ordered and installed tomorrow, 9/13/24. They are still claiming the failed compressor clutch. No other information was given. But don’t think the service writer lady has any idea what she is talking about.

i just know that as soon as i pick the truck up, ill make it 15 minutes down the road, you know, because the issue is fixed, and I’ll be turning right back around to have some words with the dealer after explaining that the compression and accompanying parts need to be replaced.

I think what bothers me the most, just like everyone else on here, is that you spend over 110k on a truck and body, to only have it fail within the first 2 weeks of ownership.

Like a lot of the people on here, I use this truck to tow my gooseneck and excavator on a daily basis. Without the truck, I need to cancel jobs, use smaller machines, or post pone the work. That doesn’t work for me, or anyone else. None of us are in business to lose money

We got rid of the 22 Ram that we had due to def and dpf issues. If I knew we were going to have these problems we never would have switched to ford. Makes me really wish we didn’t seeing that it’s been in the high 80s/ low 90s for the whole time the ac has been out.

Sorry about the rant, Hopefully the dealer has good news tomorrow, but I’m not holding my breath.

 

Do you know the build date/month of the truck?
