- 1996 f150 complete ac system replacement- I was going to make this multiple videos but figured I would just throw it up and you can skip through. Sorry for no videos for couple months been busy and nothing to work on. Make sure to Subscribe for future videos. Below is links to the parts we replaced
Ac compressor for f150 - amzn.to/2Ky3TaC
Ac condenser - amzn.to/2Kv9azP
Reciever dryer - amzn.to/2vjh4HM
Makita impact driver - amzn.to/2AEeZeM
We all know he didn’t take it in to get the Freon out 😎
you say you're making things simple but it seems to me that it would be much more simple to make one video for the whole A/C system replacement. Not only would it be more simple, but it would be much more easy to follow. Besides that decent video. It would be awesome if you actually showed what to do though, just pointing at stuff and saying "oh yeah just take that off" makes it difficult to follow if it's your first time and don't know what you're doing.
I have a 1995 Ford f150, 5.0 L V8, extend cap. It's never had A/C, and I'm looking to install it. This video covers quite a bit, but after watching it, it's obvious there's more to installing a complete system in a truck that has never had it (wiring harness, evaporator core, vacuum lines, cab control station etc.). Two questions
1. Are there complete system kits available? If so can you give me a link?
2. I'm reasonably handy. I can certainly do all the things in this video myself, but seeing that there's more involved with a complete system, would I be better off taking it to a shop and having it done?
My ac compressor took a crap on my 96 5.0 bronco. I found your video and decided to change everything out since you guys made it look relatively easy. Took me about 3 hours to change everything out including the evaporator. Now it blows nice and cold. Thanks for the vid.
Evaporator is inside the box. Along with the Blower motor on the left side. the clutch cycling switch is on that filter drier. You got your low pressure line which I think is on the firewall, and your high side line which is below. and your compressor which is above your power steering pump. it's below mine on the 4.9 but they basically work the same. I have to replace my power steering pump soon anyways. I'll probably do all these things in unison. I have to remove my radiator when doing the job in the first place to get my power steering pump out.
Good video. I have to do all this to my 92 F150 5.0. I like the real people talk. Not trying to impress anyone, just real normal guy talk. Thanks.
Dont use power tools on plastic parts.
Always appreciate watching the hard work before attempting it myself. The 80-96 F Series are a DIY dream. Would have appreciated some info on recharging, system pressures etc. Good info for sure,
Do I need to have my system evacuated if I'm just taking the compressor off and putting in a bypass pully? Or is that for if I had to replace the receiver dryer?
Anytime you open the system you have to have it evacuated.
Good video! You sound like Stuart Smalley.....You are good enough, You are Smart enough, and doggone it people like you!
Thanks for the video guys for i have a 1995 Ford F150 4wd 302 engine and i been finding it hard to find videos on 4wd trucks ....Im wanting to replace all my A/C Hoses etc etc ...I already repaired my vacuum hoses ,i think for now ,find out when i replace everything ...I been trying to find a video on how to remove my crossmember at my transmission which i can not find on a f150 4wd ...Thanks again guys
What kind of pressure switch did you swap for? I'm currently doing my ac.
Aye. I just saw y'all today. So happy to see an irl UA-camr. Thanks for making my day! ^^
tatsuo the familiar did you come up to one of us we had a few people talk to us?
2 Mostly Bald Guys nah. Wish i did. I was waiting for my dad and sis and you guys walked away.
tatsuo the familiar sorry we missed ya thanks for commenting at least!!!
2 Mostly Bald Guys it's fine. I'm the one who didn't go up to you guys. Thanks for making my day though! ^^
tatsuo the familiar no problem
When are you gonna do the vacuum lines video
Perhaps, thread sealant! Plumbers use thread tape
No u don’t use any. The green o-rings keep it sealed
That sensor at 13:30 in, what's that called!?
Low pressure switch, I would replace everytime you replace the accumulator, especially if your converting an R12 to R134 you'll need pag 46 oil in the compressor and adapters to change from r12 if this is a conversion only like a 91 and older. It's a good idea to get some AC flush fluid when converting to R134 I believe 92 f series went to R134 so some of procedures isn't nessasary
Switch doesn’t need to be replaced. Accumulator for sure; every time u open system
Thanks guys. I have an ‘89 F150 and this will help immensely when we get into the A/C. I really appreciate you taking the time to help us DIY/cheap$/regular Joes.
Hi Dave, is the ac system in the 89 the same as in the 96? I need to get all the parts to install ac on my 89 f150 as it doesn't have ac and I have been searching to find if I could get parts from the 96 and they would fit as they are easier to find
Evaporater core.
Kenneth Dixon thank you ya we had a brain fart lol
currently doing this. did you ever make a video about vacuum lines? i need to figure mine our as well.
Does this mess up the transmission hard lines? I see you push it back for the condenser
Did you guys have to do any adjustments to the radiator support for the condenser to fit? I have a 96 F150 with the 4.9 motor and Ford no longer sells the factory condenser. I ordered a spectra premium 7-4531 and that didn’t fit at all. I just redid my radiator support so I don’t want to be cutting or grinding onto it. Thanks in advance!
Nope
Amber did you figure this out? I have a 96 f150 needs an ac compressor replacement and system change. Tryna see if this video is compatible

Michael sorry I just saw this. No this did not work for me. I had to go to the junkyard and find a used one.
This video is great. I’m going to change out the compressor on a 95 F150 XLT it looks just like this one.
I've got an '86 F-150. I'm surprised how much of the ac system is the same. I saved your video because my current ac system does nothing except blow warm air at me.
Small world. I'm in Kansas City too and now that its starting to get hot out, I need to get my AC done. I've got a 93 ford f150 5.0
IcyS I’m in KC as well with the same year truck and engine. Did you get your A/C going? R12 or did you convert to R134a?
Hate when they don’t reply!
What size is the bolt that connects the line to the compressor, I can not seem to find that info anywhere and I lost mine when swapping motors
Hello, the nut attached to the tub that goes into that box( 8:27 )wouldn’t break from the ac receiver dryer and so it got bent somewhat sadly. Does anyone have videos or a diagram on how to replace that tube? Any help would be greatly appreciated
Passenger floor panel below the glove box exposes a 4 piece vacuum piece that fixes your dash only issue
The charts I've read also say 7 oz of PAG 46, but the label says 11 oz max. Any thoughts on that?
Where is the thermal expansion valve
please help. what is the part that is in that box next to the receiver drier?
Is this the same for a '93 f150? 5.0.?
Smaller world then Icys even thought of. I’m from KC as well
and getting ready to start tackling a 1994 f150 5.8L xcab. Thanks for the
video. You got me in the right place and well done!!
How did you get the clutch in ?
Can you please do a video on how to install ac condensor pusher fan in front of the condensor fan? Because my ac works great and is ice cold when
moving down the road. But when i am stuck at a traffic light the ac goes warm on me i am also keeping my mechanical clutch fan and factory fan.
Undo radiator bolts and lean radiator towards engine. Then I can get condenser out
Let Adam eat dinner!
Thanks for the video I ordered all new parts for mine and this will help. Also what kind of under hood light are you using and do you like it?
Kenneth Dixon here is a link to it we love it it's the only one we have found that when it dies you can plug it in and still use it while charging. And its bright. amzn.to/2Mt3NTK
I’m just an anti-racist trying to find a single ac replacement video without a confederate flag in the background... Why do y’all make it so hard?
Why does it matter?? Did you come for the how to video or to bitch about the flag?
