1. Has anyone on here made the Explorer FEAD A/C system work in an older TTB truck?
2. What did you use for the radiator and fan(s)?
3. How the compressor fits with the steering box?
4. Explorer lines fit or did they change the thread or something goofy?
It has been a nice summer, my HD 1st gen Explorer radiator and low profile flex fan have worked perfectly... don't know how it will go with a condenser dumping heat in front of the radiator on a hot summer. With my bodylift I think I have the depth available to get away with a 5.0 Explorer radiator but pushing it ahead to run the Explorer fan I don't know how I am going to do with room between the grille and radiator.
It pains me to clutter up my engine bay with the bulky AC heater box again but it is hard to talk to a passenger with all three windows open.
