2000 5.0 air questions

[mike732]

I have the Ranger running like I want now so I need to get the air going before summer. I'm hoping someone has already done the try and retry for hose fit and what works and what don't. O.K. mine is a 302 with Explorer front dress and compressor with the stock Ranger condenser any idea what pre made hose setup will work?

I would guess the Explorer one will be close?

FWIW, I am running an unmodified factory 99 Explorer A/C manifold on my 99 Explorer engine. It was 100% plug and play using all of my original 2003 4.0 Ranger A/C parts. "Manifold" is Ford's name for the hose asssembly that connects the compressor, condenser and evaporator.

That is what I wanted to hear was hoping the ends were the same, and will hook to my Evaporator and condenser. Thanks a Bunch

Hopefully everything is the same on your 2000 like it was on my 2003. My guess is 'yes' but you'll have to try it to know for sure.
