04-06 Econoline Poor A/C Cooling/Compressor Failure
Ford has a Teechnical Service Bulletin (TSB #05-19-3), titled as the Subject line of this post. Has anyone had their vans in to have this TSB performed? I understand it's fairly common for F-series with snowplow blades to have it done so the airflow through their engine compartment increases. In my research, I've read where it can be quite loud since the fan is on much more frequently at lower speeds, but I'd like to hear some firsthand experience.
Failure of the A/C compressor may be due to high side system pressures resulting from insufficient air flow across the condenser at idle and low speeds. A revised cooling fan clutch is available to improve air flow and prevent compressor failure. P/N 4C3Z-8A616-SA.
