What's the process to purge the system? Totally forgot to do this...hope It doesn't mess anything up.Just installed the brass valve that @Jhill recommended, definitely quality piece, just wondering if its up to the temperature task, but no leaks whatsoever.
As for the A/C performance right now is on par with other vehicles, very satisfactory results, it's working as it should be from the factory now.
Did some tests when I was purging the system of air after the the valve install, closed and opened the valve while the engine was running and radiator cap off, there is no added pressure on the system when closing the valve.
Very happy now, thanks @KcRay !
Something smells bad on what that dealer said.It may be for your specific build date. Following to see if there is a recall/TSB indeed out there. But a bolt which caused all of the refrigerant to leak out would mean the AC system would stop blowing cold completely, not just on humid/hot days.
Thats true, my bad.Let's not de-rail this thread talking about ford's a/c and seat issues . . .
40 degrees is not so bad, but if it's like my truck, that's only the pass side vent. The drivers side won't get below 52, hence the issue with the blend door.why is 40 degree vent temps at 92 outside a problem?
I did not need to purge because I did the deed very quickly, and had the hose clamped off. With the engine "Cold" take off the metal radiator cap. Start engine and let idle till it gets up to temp, "with the cap off". Top off the radiator with the engine still running, replace cap.What's the process to purge the system?

Sounds like it's broken. Time for a warranty repair.I dont have any cold air. My wifes suv blows colder air just by going to the lowest temp and no ac on then mine does with ac on with recirculation.
I can't find a specific link on TFLTruck's YouTube channel. Got a link?
Driving mine doesn’t make a difference. If the hose isn’t clamped off, it will only blow about 53 degree air out the center, driver’s side vent. With hose clamped off, it blows about 44 degrees, which is tolerable.OK, was on TFLnow. No wonder I couldn't find it. Thanks.
Sheesh. Drive the **** trucks. Checking AC performance at idle? Do both trucks have the same cooling fans pulling the air through the condensors? My truck AC is much cooler as it's moving.
Man that pudding is so much better with "proof" in it! That is a good controlled test, driving the trucks would not be as controlled. Driving styles, acceleration, gearing and rpms would all be different. FCA should be embarrassed.OK, was on TFLnow. No wonder I couldn't find it. Thanks.
