• Q: How to service the A/C condenser core for 5.4L and 6.8L engines on 2009 Ford F-350 Super Duty?

  A: The first task to service the A/C condenser core includes refrigerant recovery when working with 5.4L and 6.8L engine vehicles. The A/C condenser inlet and outlet fitting nuts should be disconnected here before removing O-ring and gasket seals, then tighten them to 15 Nm (133 lb-in) when reinstalling. To detach the power steering cooler and the hood release cable pin-type retainer, use the correct tools to remove the two power steering cooler bolts while tightening them to 11 Nm (97 lb-in) for future reinstallation. Set the power steering cooler to the side before removing the horn assembly bracket bolt and placing the horn assembly to the side. Reinstall the bolt after tightening it to 11 Nm (97 lb-in). The next step includes removal of the two condenser bolts after securing them to 11 Nm (97 lb-in) torque settings for future reinstallment before extracting the condenser core. Install new gasket seals and O-ring seals while reversing the removal steps and lubricate the refrigerant system correctly with PAG oil. Following system installation authority will evacuate then leak test and afterward charge the refrigeration system.
