The weird part of this is it’s never had an issue, then the expy sat and didn’t get driven for about 7 days and then this happens out of the blue.... oh well

I ordered New Motorcraft A/C Compressor w/ clutch, drier, and expansion valvex along with a new Motorcraft serpentine belt. Roughly $400 in parts for the expy today... gotta love RockAuto.

Check the orifice tube/txv for shavings. They will look similar to shavings from a hacksaw when cutting metal.

Usually the fan blade and shroud come out together to gain access.

Click to expand...

Didn’t find any in there. Probably dirt dropped into the compressor as a lot of crap was falling on me upon removal. Flushed it anyway now just waiting for the dryer from Napa.

My 2005 expedition timing chain seems a little loud at idle. It starts fine and runs smoothly. Should I be worried because it’s a little loud?156,000
