:mad: AC Problems
2005 F150 SCEW
My problem has been noted before:
AC vent tube temp ranges 42 deg F - 54 deg F but mostly at 48 deg F
Seems when I break or coast at low speed the tmep will drop to 42 deg F
running at 60 - 65 MPH the temp runs about 48 to 54 deg F
Ford warrenty will not fix it because "Its Not Broke"
I want it fixed!
Where do I start throwing my $$$$$
* Low Pressure Switch
* Evacuate and refill
* should I replace the pressure nozzle in the line?
Are there and suggestions of where to go from here. I know it can be more
consistantly cool because other trucks I have ridden in are!

Contact the Ford whine line for your area and complain about your dealer. This is a warenty issue. My Ford dealer has replaced the compressor and I'm going to take it back in again. It works better than it did but still only blows 40 degree air.

I'm a tech at a ford dealership and have unlimited access to fixing my ac system, I can put any part on I need because I'm the one doing the work, and that is exactly the same temps my ac gets, I have tried everything, can't get no better on a 90+ degree day.

It sounds like a good time to bring a thread from 2-pages over...
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/s...d.php?t=504440
...To some the thread should be familiar
.......And jus' to add my .02 (whatever that might really be worth?!) and say that anything colder than 38-40 degrees F (with the proper thermometer). Your asking for future problems.
But!....
It's your truck, and "by-george" if you want it lower... you should get it lower. I'm sure there is someone out here that has managed such a thing (on thier own). I wish ya best of luck to which-ever way you want to go....

I have more information on this issue....
outside temp 95ish
started out of the plant on my way home temp was fluctuating 45 - 49 deg F
then I made a rolling hard left turn!
temps then held tight for anout 15 miles at 43 deg F
made another hard left and actually saw 38 - 41 deg!
right turns did nothing positive....
could the compressor oil be low or something?
