I have had a good experience with Tomball Ford also

 

Same problem in my 05 supercrew, the recirculate works fine but blasting the air on high is still not enough to stay comfy in the cab. I took it to the dealer and of course they said there was no problem, then I contacted Ford through their website, a lady called me back from Ford and when I explained to her my problem she says that she has never heard anyone complain of the air not cooling enough, I find that hard to believe after reading all the post on here.

 

I have the same problem and there is no need to waste you rtime with calling Ford since they just say they never heard of a problem(which is a lie when you read all these posts) and since the dealer says it is OK then it is OK. Great customer service, right? I will never buy from Ford again and I have had about 18 Ford products over the years. I will only buy Toyotas from now on. TUNDRA ALL THE WAY.

 

I also have a problem with my 06. Mine blows hot air at idle(stop lights, parking lots). Then works fine at crusing speed. Dealer replaced cycle switch but this did not fix the problem. I'm now out of warranty and very pissed!
Thanks Ford! Otherwise love the truck.

 

well .. after severe procrastination on my part, I finally got my AC fixed. turns out the main problem was a valve, I believe the lower accumulator valve.

they replaced it, evac'd and recharged the unit, and it now blows cold as crap. and the best part is, I got in, hit auto, and drove off with the AC blowing cold .. no more turn on the vent, make everyone in the truck be quiet while I hit the AC button and hope the compressor comes on and I hear it click.

they also completed a service update on the AC no idea what it was.

Once again, I was very impressed with Tomball Ford.

 

Well for those of you suffering the EXACT symptoms above, (2006 eatc), hot air at light stop but cold ice air when moving, hot air when started and IDILING , then cold air then hot ect(compressor clicking on and off 10 sec intervals, until start to drive then on constantly).... and ford saying there is nothing wrong.- after 4 long years of putting up with this i finally decided to get a newer ac control panel from a bone yard . Well guess what? That turned out to be the answer. Ford was right though, the freon levels were right, and blend doors were working and all other sensors for eatc and soforth flawless, but the dang eatc panel itself was the defect. I read somewhere that there is a eatc test, which i would always do, but i guess it did not recognize that the problem was itself. So I just opened up the both eatcs and switched chip boards( the bone yard one had scrathes on the face and lens, very very super easy to swap) and presto problem finally fixed. So screw the dont press auto but gotta press panel first, then hit ac switch then press recycle and vice versu when shutting down truck. (those who suffred this know what i am talking about)

 

also had this problem with mine 06 eatc had a bad fan clutch sitting at idle was not pulling any air might check this as well

 

I too have a 2006 superscrew had a/c problem`s from day 1 sound`s just like your problem. Finally gave up on ford and paid local shop to have a go at it after about 30 plus tries at dealer. Quess what compressor was gone spreading metal throughout system. Replaced compressor dryer condenser orfice tube and it works great 39 to 41 degrees at vent will freeze but off even at idle in texas. All I would like to know is why was 3 different dealership`s unable to fix it? So 1300 out of my own pocket to make repair`s and only have 66,000 on truck ford should be ashamed.
That`s ok won`t ever own another ford product ever.

Well this sucks, problem is back. Jhunt, i dont think its the clutch cuz i can let it idle for a long time( the times that the ac compressor decides to stay on ) and it will be blowing cold, but thanks for the input. It may be what basscaster says, i may need to take it to an ac shop and let them look at it. Truck is an 2006 with 26,000 mi.

 

Anyone ever get a resolution? I think the AC just plain sucks in these trucks.

 

I've been putting up with a sub-standard AC on my 2007 FX4 since i bought the truck. Had it into the dealer last fall, and they said I had a faulty schraeder valve and the system was only half full of cooling agent. Took their word for it, drove it thru the winter without much thought about it. Then this spring, start running the AC, and it is lousy again. This time the truck is at 44k miles (past warranty). I get a song and dance about how its not their problem, but finally get them to look at it. Turns out that the system was about third low on cooling agent. They recharge unit and make it sound like they've just done me a big favor. Stunned, I ask them about a possible leak. They say they can't find one. I say how can a closed system be one third low and not have a leak? They say that if they can't find a leak they can't fix it, and round and round we go. they also say that it is possible there is no leak, they just failed to fully fill the AC system up last time. I sit stunned at this circular logic... We either have a leak or shoddy workmanship...neither of which the dealer seems interested in taking responsibilty for. I leave with the dealer pretty much saying I'll probably have to recharge system every spring (on my own dime).
So now I'm at a crossroads. The original fix was done at 34k miles and still under warranty. The dealer says that that work is warranteed for 12k/12 months. Technically, i am still under that warranty. But, the dealer says that the schraeder valve work rec'd the warranty, and not the whole AC system. And the schraeder valve is working fine. I did get him to agree to test the level of cooling agent in 6 months to confirm there is a leak, but after that, I'm not sure what we'll do.
The whole thing has me a bit pissed off. This combined with several other problems with the truck (most serious a front end alignment problem...wobbles like a paint mixer at 70 mph) have got me looking at other manufacturers (this after having previously owend 7 Ford trucks).
I think this dealer and Ford know there are defects with the AC, but are unwilling to fix due to the associated expenses. Unacceptable...just not sure what I can do.

 

Well one last update from all of the posting i did for about four years of the blows cool then hot , on all my hot engine start ups., or at lights. I changed electronic panel, low and high pressure switch and guess what it was all this time. FAN CLUTCH, FAN CLUTCH. Funny how all visits to ford and all was to spec. Also funny is that the truck never overheated. Why fan clutch, was not pulling enough air through condensor and would cause high pressure, thus tripping the high pressure switch and cut the compressor off. Jhunt and others who said fan clutch, you were right.

 

I too am having problems with my truck. Glad I checked back in on this site. I will try every remedy on here and see what is going on.
My problem was it cooled just fine when I started up. After about 20-30 minutes, all of the vents would shut and the blower seemed to go on full blast and it sounded like the air was trying to blow out from the bottom of the windshield. NOT the vents. If I would stop and kill the engine and let it sit for a while, I would start it back up and it would be fine. Then 20-30 minutes later, the same thing...
Of course , All mighty FORD said nothing was wrong and calling FORD they say they have not heard a single complaint....bastards.

I am interested in getting on with the lemon law if you folks are serious...this absolutely SUCKS!!!

Great forum folks and way to work together and spread the news!!

So its the fan clutch? My a/c sucks and also makes a lot of noises like rattling marbles and when I go from defrost to vent you can hear something opening or closing that sounds like a loud fart noise and I have no idea what it is... Any suggestions? Truck is an 06 with the Auto climate control.
