How do I make my F-250 Super Duty air conditioning colder?

Park in the shade whenever you can, and use a reflective sunshade in the windshield when you’re parked. If you’re the only one in the car, close all the vents except the ones that point toward you. Give the system the final boost it needs with an A/C performance check and recharge from Firestone Complete Auto Care.

What’s making my F-250 Super Duty A/C put out warm air?

Maybe your A/C starts cool but then gets warm. Or maybe it never gets cold in the first place. Either way, your A/C troubles could be traced back to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak.

How does my A/C system get a leak?

To put it simply, age and moisture are some of the main causes of leaks in your A/C. Over time, rubber gaskets and seals can wear out, which pushes much-needed refrigerant out of your F-250 Super Duty’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.

Does running the A/C in my F-250 Super Duty use gasoline?

While your vehicle’s A/C system doesn’t directly use fuel, it does draw power from the engine, which can impact the fuel consumption of your F-250 Super Duty.

What can cause the A/C in my F-250 Super Duty to smell like vinegar?

Moisture can accumulate on your vehicle’s A/C system components, creating the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. As this bacteria grows, it can cause the air conditioning system in your F-250 Super Duty to have a vinegar-like smell.

What is causing my F-250 Super Duty’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion?

If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your F-250 Super Duty’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2013 Ford F-250 Super Duty A/C system to see if repair work is required. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and leak test. If we think there might be a leak, we'll run a special U/V dye through the system or use a "sniffer." A “sniffer” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your Ford F-250 Super Duty A/C system to identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

A/C Recharge for Ford F-250 Super Duty

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2013 Ford F-250 Super Duty, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To do this, one of our technicians will remove the refrigerant in your A/C system (if there is even any left to remove). Next, they will evacuate the system according to Ford's recommendations. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you're ready to get back on the road. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2013 Ford F-250 Super Duty A/C recharges.

Common Ford F-250 Super Duty A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Ford F-250 Super Duty A/C problem you may encounter. Typical A/C problems also include weak airflow, which could be caused by mold or mildew buildup, a loose hose, an old ventilation fan, or a compromised seal. If you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes warm, this may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 2013 Ford F-250 Super Duty? This can mean you have mold in your evaporator case, or it may indicate that it’s time to change your cabin air filter. Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your A/C problems. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your F-250 Super Duty.
