Ford F-350 Super Duty A/C Repair

When you get in the car on a hot summer day, the last thing you want is a broken air conditioner. Is that a hot stove? Nope, just your steering wheel. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. “Who can fix my Ford F-350 Super Duty A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know our way around Ford vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 2013 Ford A/C systems. Steer your Ford F-350 Super Duty to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2013 Ford F-350 Super Duty’s A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a leak test. If we suspect a leak, we’ll send a U/V dye through your A/C system or use a “sniffer” to find the leak. What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Ford F-350 Super Duty A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

F-350 Super Duty A/C Recharge

Let's say we repair your 2013 Ford F-350 Super Duty A/C system. We will also perform an A/C evacuation and recharge. To start this process, a technician will flush out the old refrigerant from your vehicle’s A/C system. Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Ford guidelines. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you’re good to go. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2013 Ford F-350 Super Duty A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Ford F-350 Super Duty A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Ford F-350 Super Duty A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Other common A/C problems 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. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 2013 Ford F-350 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. Our technicians will work to solve your A/C problems to the best of their ability. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your F-350 Super Duty’s A/C!

Frequently Asked Questions for 2013 Ford F-350 Super Duty A/C Systems

  • Can I make my F-350 Super Duty air conditioner colder? For starters, use a sun-blocking shade in the windshield while you’re parked, or look for a shady parking spot. Closing all the passenger vents in your car can help redirect cold air toward you, cooling you off faster. Still need more chill? Head to Firestone Complete Auto Care for an A/C performance check and recharge.
  • Why do I get hot air from my F-350 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.
  • 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-350 Super Duty’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Does my F-350 Super Duty A/C use gas?  The air conditioning system in your F-350 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.
  • What can cause the A/C in my F-350 Super Duty to 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-350 Super Duty to produce a vinegary odor.
  • Why does my F-350 Super Duty’s A/C only work when the car is moving? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your F-350 Super Duty may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
