Motorcraft YCC166 New Compressor

The original Motorcraft compressor lasted for 16 years under severe conditions. Against my better judgement, I replaced it with a cheaper aftermarket brand(COMPRESSORWORKS)of new compressor to save money, but the thing crapped out after only 2 years, and I had to start all over again. I learned my lesson well, and opted for the genuine Motorcraft YCC166 compressor as a basis for a new, severe-service A/C system that also has a Severe-Service, Automatic-Adjusting Orifice Tube (4Seasons #38904 for ambient air temps above 105F.), and a full charge (7 ounces) of PAO 68 Synthetic Refrigerant Oil , as well as a new 4Seasons Accumulator/Drier and new o-ring seals throughout. Topped off with a new Hayden #2795 Severe-Service Fan Clutch, the new system now out-performs the original equipment, keeping the engine cooler, the A/C performance is measurably better, while saving fuel as well. All this at a considerable savings of time and a whole lot of money due to Amazon's easy-to-use parts locator, the low prices, and the speedy delivery (PRIME). My wife and family now ride in luxurious comfort on the hottest of days, and our cross-desert trips are fully enjoyable. UPDATE: June 21, 2017 Three years after installation, the Motorcraft YCC166 is still performing perfectly in the severe desert climate. With outside temps as high as 118 F., the dash vent thermometer shows 45-degrees-air coming into the car's interior.

The unit I received was build in July 2012. It was filled with proper amount of PAG46. Once installed worked like a charm. Please pay attention to steps outlined in the installation manual you will receive with the unit.
