2007 EL XLT, rear cooling core/coil

[DD31]

I'm trying to find a rear cooling core/coil for my 2007 EL XLT. I ordered what what supposed to be the right one from Rock Auto but it does not fit. Ford seems to think I need to buy an entire new rear hvac unit for $700... but ive had the coil out so I know it can be replaced independently. Any help finding the correct coil for it will be GREATLY appreciated. I cant get my AC to work without it, unless someone makes a block off plate for the freon lines for this year/model

Thanks!

What is the part number and brand you received from rockauto? Also check the same part for a 2006 and 2008 to see if the number changed.

This seems a bit strange. From what I can find, it looks like the Evaporator Core for the EL is different than the Standard Expedition. Rock Auto offers the standard coil (which I'm thinking is what you purchased) here:

http://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/...t+&+air+conditioning,a/c+evaporator+core,6768

Looking here, you can see it specs the standard evaporator coil is 5L1Z-19860-CA (this matches the Rock cross reference) for $81.43 at the top of the page. Whereas scrolling to the bottom of the page for the EL, you can see that for whatever reason the individual coil isn't listed, rather the entire assembly with the coil included is 8L1Z-18D283-B for $748.18.

I also checked FordPartsGiant.com and the parts fiche yielded the same thing where the EL evaporator coil isn't listed individually.

Is there a part number on your coil out of your EL?

Thank you for the help so far. That is similar to what I found. It seems very odd that they want me to buy the entire unit vs just buying the evaporator coil. Behr K8494 is the number on the existing evaporator coil in the truck

Hmm, too bad Ford didn't have their part number inscribed on the coil. Just curious, but what happened to your coil that you need to replace it?

The existing coil developed corrosion just above the connector and has a pinhole in the tube. I didn't see any other part numbers on it

You can actually use a 2 part epoxy considering its in the low pressure side of the system but as an hvac technician I would recommend that being a temporary repair
