Air Conditioning Failure & Dallas Service

[griffbl]

GENTS-

My GT's A/C has failed for the third time...The first time they said it was an O-Ring failure, the second time the replace both Schraeder SP? Valves (valves used for charging the system with refrigerant), and this time, they said it was the compressor it self that had been leaking....found traces of Compressor oil that leaked out......I think they were just guessing on the first two leak causes, and I KNOW these can be VERY hard to find with a slow leak....I used a dealer in Plano TX that had been recommended on the first two fixes, and then went to Park Cities Ford, which is in my area.....I did not know they had a good Tech for GT's, but at this point, I can assure you they do.....My service advisor was super (Terry) and the car was washed and much better than when I dropped it off! Just thought Dallas area people should know, and EVERYONE should check those A/C Compressors for any trace of compressor oil leaks!!!

Yea middlekauf has been sold and they turned over everyone. can't recommend them anymore.

You have to be careful..glad you found someone...I am really out of options of places right now...if I have a problem I think its easier and better piece of mind for me to just fly Rich or Dennis down

I tried to find the A/C manufacturer for the GT but was unable, I think it was Vintage air and was located in Texas. With some luck they may be near by and able to help.

Send PM to "samthejeepman" He knows! :cheers

Rally 1 he had a drip which caused him to buy a Saleen Mustang and have the supplier sent up to fix his gal back then.....

Per the GT Yearbook and engineers the A/C system was designed and built by Vintage Air.

You can see them for sale occassionally but they were made by the workers on the GT program and sold to those of us that attended Rally I.

Vintage air is the manufacturer of the a/c electronics,evaporator case and duct work.
heater core and lines things like that. I have spoken with the Vintage air engineer that designed the system a few times with evaporator case door motor problems. The compresor and lines are Ford.
