A/C losing its charge

I have an 07 FX4 that can't seem to hold its refrigerant. A dye test found nothing. Are there any known issues? Thanks!

Dye most likely will not show up if the evaporator is leaking; this in is the large black plastic housing against the firewall.

If you thought changing the evap in the F150 is a pain, try a heater core in a Ford Ranger; gotta pull the interior dash away to get at it.

Some thing on a f150 you had to pull the whole dash out [MENTION=2955]Buck[/MENTION] not sure if you have done it to your f150 yet but it's a 7 hours project

Compressor line set. They leak where the aluminum lines off of the compressor couple to the rubber hose. Very hard to see the leak.
