During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2018 Ford F-250 Super Duty A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure. If any signs point to a possible leak, we’ll send a special U/V dye through the system, or use something called a “sniffer.” A "sniffer" is a machine that's run along parts of your Ford F-250 Super Duty A/C system that can identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

2018 Ford F-250 Super Duty A/C System FAQs

  • How can I make my F-250 Super Duty air conditioner 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.
  • Why do I get hot air from my F-250 Super Duty A/C? An A/C blowing hot air has several possible root causes. There could be an issue with your compressor clutch, a blown fuse, a leak, or a clog in the expansion valve.
  • What causes A/C system leaks? 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.
  • Is my F-250 Super Duty A/C powered by gas?  The air conditioning system in your F-250 Super Duty does not use gasoline directly as a fuel source, but it does require some power from the engine, which indirectly affects your car's fuel consumption.
  • Why does the A/C in my F-250 Super Duty smell like vinegar? It’s easy for moisture to accumulate in your car’s air conditioning system, which can cause microorganisms like bacteria to grow. In turn, this bacteria growth can cause the A/C in your F-250 Super Duty to produce a vinegary odor.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my F-250 Super Duty’s A/C to work? 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.
  • Where can I get my F-250 Super Duty’s A/C repaired? When you need your F-250 Super Duty air conditioning system repaired or inspected, trust Firestone Complete Auto Care. Schedule an appointment at our A/C repair shop near you.
