I noticed that the AC on my 2003 Ford F-150 SuperCrew 4x4 was not cooling as well as it should. It was still cooling, just not very well. It needed the tranny fluid flushed and changed so I asked them to take a look at the AC.
The shop (at a Ford dealership) called and said something about the compressor locking up and then about a bunch of other stuff I don't know anything about (condensor???, collector???, filter?????) then the cha-ching sounds started and I did not hear much else except that it would cost about $1000 to repair!
I told him to flush the tranny but not to fix the AC. At least for now.
I've never had an AC go out this fast on a vehicle. It is 4 years old and I'm still paying for it. It is obviously not under warranty.
Should I get a second opinion? Bite the bullet and have it repaired? Complain to Ford? Wait until next summer then fix it.
(And please don't get me wrong. This isn't Ford bashing. This has been a problem free truck until now. I'm just stating the facts and frustrated that I won't be building the $1000 tractor shed I'd been planning).
I'll get more details when I pick it up tomorrow.
