      The beauty of this one is that you don't have to completely remove the dash or the HVAC box. There are access doors which make it much easier. Good luck!

      @@iamthesoccerbeast sure. But to me any job can be do it yourself if you have patience and take your time. It just takes time to locate all the fasteners and gently work the dash loose.
      Don't forget you will have to discharge and disconnect your AC lines and heater core lines under the hood as well

    Hey bro what are the symptoms of the heating core going bad my ac is acting up it dosen't blow as cold as it used to and on the carpet of my passenger side its wet and it smells like coolant on my vents

    • @ChrisVaughnTech
      @ChrisVaughnTech  3 года назад +1

      Sounds like a bad Heater core to me. Might as well replace the evap core and the heater core while you are in there. Of it smells like coolant then the heater core likely has a leak

    When installing the new evaporator and heater coil, do I add 3 ounces of pag oil? If so, where do I add it?
    Thank you! Good video

    • @ChrisVaughnTech

      Usually it is added through the high pressure port but some A/C machines can do this automatically. It's all done via the service ports under the hood

    Looks like you only had to pull the front part of the center console out?

    • @ChrisVaughnTech
      @ChrisVaughnTech  3 года назад +1

      Yeah just the front section of the console but you may find it easier to unbolt the entire console and slide the entire thing backward. With this truck you don't have to completely remove the dash or the HVAC box. You just need to be able to pull them back far enough from the firewall to get the top covers off the HVAC box.

      This took about 6-7 hours. I took my time and got it all apart in the morning then went to lunch and finished it up before 6 pm.

    I really hate the fact that Ford moved the evaporator from under the hood to under the dash and they moved from Expansion Tube to the Expansion valve.

    How much does this cost

    • @ChrisVaughnTech
      @ChrisVaughnTech  4 года назад

      It depends on what the shop hourly rate is but it takes roughly 6-7 hours to complete so based on what the shop charges per hour you can kinda get an estimate. The new evaporator core is roughly $80-100.

    Is this part called heater core!!

    • @ChrisVaughnTech
      @ChrisVaughnTech  4 года назад

      No this is called the Evaporator core. This is for the A/C system. The heater core is a similar looking part that is located next to the Evap core.

    Good vid, do you happen to have an instructional vid for pulling the dash?

    • @ChrisVaughnTech
      @ChrisVaughnTech  4 года назад +1

      Unfortunately I do not.. but it was fairly straight forward. Once you start removing panels on the dash you will see all of the screws and bolts that hold the dash to the body. There are some up top, underneath, and on the sides. Once you remove those mounting bolts you will be able to lift the dash away from the body enough to access the HVAC box.
