As for the belt, he also has a belt for a 6# lower and L upper for sale. You can either buy it from him or ask him the part number off the belt or search in LR and look at the chart.

Wayne, that username doesn't exist on LR. You sure you have it right?

Edit: nevermind. Its 03_BLK_HD. Sending pm. Thanks again man.

Stupid question because i know nothing about A/C systems. I had to disconnect the lines and all the freon leaked out when working on the truck. Can i just buy a can from oreillys and fill it back up or should i take it to Ford ($150)?

I've got a not stupid answer for you guys. No, you can't just fill it up. You've introduced moisture filled atmospheric air into the sealed system. Some will tell you that you need to replace the dryer & orifice tube before vacuuming and refilling. But I'm telling you don't have to do that. If you can get ahold of a vacuum pump, let it pump down for a couple hours till you get to <3microns and then let it set for at least an hour to make sure it holds vacuum and has no leaks. Then you can start charging the system with fresh freon. Check the tag under the hood for system capacity. There ya go.

It would also be a good time to replace the o-rings on the compressor lines & new Schrader valves on the high & low side ports since you already have the system open.

Edit:: get the freon with oil charge in it. A/C pro synthetic works really good.
