• Q: How to Service and Repair the A/C Hose for the Auxiliary Climate Control Evaporator Outlet on 2001 Ford F-350 Super Duty?

  A: The service procedure for repairing the auxiliary climate control evaporator outlet line starts with refrigerant discharge and recovery. Lift and stabilize the auto while you take off the wheels from the front and rear right sides. The fender splash shield can be removed by unfastening four screws and three bolts along with three pin-type retainers and the vacuum reservoir retaining nuts. Start by detaching and then removing the ABS wiring harness from the fender splash shield area. To remove the five line brackets at the rear position, start by disengaging the evaporator outlet line spring lock coupling and continuing with the removal of the five line bracket retaining nuts followed by bracket removal through stud hole screwdriver manipulation which requires first pulling the bracket off the stud to prevent damage. Take off the auxiliary evaporator outlet line fitting before discarding the previous pipe. The rear auxiliary evaporator outlet line installation requires use of PAG Refrigerant Compressor Oil (R-134a Systems) F7AZ-19589-DA (Motorcraft YN-12-C) or equivalent meeting Ford specification WSH-M1C231-B for O-ring seal lubrication before fitting the spring lock coupling. After securing the rear line in brackets the front line needs to pass through the wheel well and connect with additional O-ring seal lubrication. First connect the front line into the brackets before you place the brackets over the studs and install the nuts loosely. You should use a wrench on each side of the fitting to avoid damaging it while you connect the two auxiliary evaporator outlet lines before lubricating their O-ring seals. When installing the nuts on five brackets maintain low torque pressure to prevent floor pan stud breakage. Attach the ABS wiring harness and place the fender splash shield while installing the vacuum reservoir retaining nuts. The A/C system maintenance sequence concludes by securing the fender splash shield with the provided fasteners while reattaching both right-hand wheels and lowering the vehicle before conducting an evacuate, leak test and charge procedure.
