Re: 2003 Ford Excursion cool not cold

OE TXV will be here on tomorrow morning's Ford run. I really need to max out the compressor and make sure it's still strong, I had metal flakes on the Orifice tube when I swapped a standard one in for the variable one in use at the time. It was not a flushing issue, as lines were flushed 4 times, t...

Re: 2003 Ford Excursion cool not cold

To cool properly your low side pressure needs to get under 40 psi at 2,000 rpm and should in stock condition. With the rear unit shut off I would expect to see 30-35 psi on the low side at 2,000 rpm as a maximum even in 100F. Thanks Pressures are wonky for sure, have a OEM TXV valve headed to the s...

Re: 2003 Ford Excursion cool not cold

Without rehashing all the reasons to suspect the rear TXV, I agree with Carguychris85 on this one. Suggest purchasing an OE TXV, install it, recharge to specs, and then test the system's performance. OE TXV will be here on tomorrow morning's Ford run. I really need to max out the compressor and mak...

Re: 2003 Ford Excursion cool not cold

Just keep in mind that less refrigerant means less oil carried for reliability. It will be a balancing act, so sometimes you need all the equipment to get the best performance out of a system, i.e., reclaimer. reclaimed? as in a refrigerant? Absolutely, evac refrigerant (and some oil), vacuum down ...

Re: 2003 Ford Excursion cool not cold

The corporate group I do catalog work for is one supplier for 1-800. I was checking to see if we would overlap the parts you already have. When we had our shop, I never needed to undercharge a system with a genuine version of the parallel flow condenser. But, even on the weekend, I reached out to o...

Re: 2003 Ford Excursion cool not cold

I always used the parallel flow style over the 6mm T&F model. I usually don't ask this, but what brand of parts have you bought already? Ok so don't shoot the AC hack........ For several years we used 1-800 radiators, as they were quick to deliver to the shop, fairly priced and frankly, we neve...

Re: 2003 Ford Excursion cool not cold

Conflicting data from corporate. 6mm t&F v PFC. An old Motorcraft would have been the 6mm T&F multi-flow. I have to check on Monday. The current condenser Im using is a described as "parallel flow micro-channel" Using the parallel flow micro-channel in place of the discontinued Mo...

Conflicting data from corporate. 6mm t&F v PFC. An old Motorcraft would have been the 6mm T&F multi-flow. I have to check on Monday. Thanks, look forward to what you find. If the currently available condensers are microchannel vs OE 6mm T&F multi-flow what changes would you expect to ma...
