Potato, potato - yes I know they're different. It's not US made is what I'm getting at. LOL.

 

Ahhh! Yup.
I recall a sticker on many Fords some years back, ~ "No more than 10% of this vehicle made in Canada."

Edit: I never minded throwing a lil country a bone, if they were sorta decent, and struggling. But we really aren't adequately self sufficient. So I'm with ya.

 

I decided it's time to buy a new compressor for the F150. Now to find a flush kit.

 

Kit? I use Prestone's flush, with water. It comes in something like 28 & 32 oz. Two might be required they say. (They want to sell it. I use one, but do this two times.) It' gentle, so you can leave it in a bit, if your nights are not freezing. It's citric acid, a safe food addictive. I do pull my block drain (& use Teflon tape on later.) Ford said they had a new plug, in Chicago. I got a brass plug from Home Depot. Clean block threads but not much as they have degraded. Refill with lifetime antifreeze and distilled water.

Hahahaha! I had read this as two dif subjects in one post. Hahahaha!

My guy's drain and refill somehow cleaned the AC system when I had him do mine. He said I didn't need a new dryer at all, but what the heck. 20+ years, already doing the rest. I did that too.

I watched. The oil that vacuumed out was not too dirty at all. Maybe the 30 oz I put in that lasted 3 days helped cleanse/flush the system.

 

Uhhhhh yeah, water shouldn't be anywhere near the inside of your A/C lines. I think you're confused with the heater core.

I ordered this, and a bottle of solvent.

 

Dude.... WTF? Why the hell are the FL1A's so damn much now? The FL-820S remains low.

 

No doubt!
And harder and harder to find
Not sure of the quality these days either
Buy them by the case

 

going to get my 2024 order in here in the next couple weeks, i dont have employee pricing yet but i want to get the ball rolling, especially with lead times currently

 

I just ordered a WIX instead. Where do you get yours by the case?

 

little inside baseball, most ford dealers order them by the case, I never did because we maybe only sold 4-5 1As every year, every other oil filter i ordered by case

i think the # for the 1A is FL1AB12
