ISSUE:
Slow acceleration from a dead stop may be caused by inadequate fuel/air supply or insufficient boost
pressure.
ACTION:
Use the following procedure to diagnose and correct vehicles that exhibit this condition.
NOTE:
THIS PROCEDURE ONLY ADDRESSES VEHICLES WITH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION THAT
EXHIBIT SLOW RESPONSE TO THROTTLE INPUT FROM A DEAD STOP.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
1.
Check to make sure the engine is getting full fuel and air.
a.
Carefully inspect the vehicle air cleaner for restriction; turbo outlet and charge air inlet (CAC)
hoses and clamps for damage or looseness.
b.
Check fuel lines/hoses for crimping or other damage.
c.
Check the Boost Control Device (BCD) line for a leak or obstruction.
2.
Verify that the vehicle has clean #2 diesel or appropriate winter blend fuel. (#1 diesel fuel significantly
reduces engine performance.) Confirm that the fuel filter is not plugged.
3.
Verify proper throttle and transmission modulator adjustment. The engine must reach (or exceed) the
no load governed speed with the transmission in NEUTRAL and the accelerator pedal fully
depressed.
a.
Refer to the following No Load Governed Speed Chart.
b.
With the engine running, the throttle lever on the injection pump must reach its "stop" with the
pedal fully depressed. See Section 10.02 in the applicable service manual for the complete
throttle/transmission modulator adjustment procedures.
4.
After verifying/correcting the above, perform a "STALL CHECK" as follows:
a.
Install a boost gauge in the intake manifold, "After" the Charge-Air-Cooler (CAC).
b.
If the vehicle is not equipped with a tachometer, temporarily install one.
c.
Set brakes and chock the wheels.
d.
Operate the vehicle until the transmission fluid temperature is at least 180° F (82° C). If the
vehicle is not equipped with a transmission temperature gauge, perform two (2) 30 second
duration Stall Checks (described later in this article) to warm up the fluid.
NOTE:
ALLOW 30 SECONDS OF HIGH NEUTRAL IDLE BETWEEN STALL CHECKS TO ASSURE
TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURES DO NOT EXCEED DESIGN MAXIMUM.
WARNING:
NEVER MAINTAIN A STALL FOR MORE THAN 30 SECONDS OR TRANSMISSION DAMAGE
MAY OCCUR. IF CONVERTER/TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE EXCEEDS 250° F (121° C),
RUN THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL AT 1200 TO 1500 RPM UNTIL THE TRANSMISSION
COOLS.
STALL CHECK
1.
With foot on brake and all personnel clear from the vehicle, place the transmission in DRIVE. Allow
the engine RPM to stabilize at idle (about 750 RPM).
2.
Fully depress the throttle pedal. Use a stopwatch to time how long it takes for the engine to reach
1600 RPM from the time the accelerator pedal is fully depressed. Record this time.
3.
Repeat the above procedure three times and average.
NOTE:
ALLOW 30 SECONDS OF HIGH NEUTRAL IDLE BETWEEN STALL CHECKS TO ASSURE
TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURES DO NOT EXCEED DESIGN MAXIMUM.
4.
Calculate averages as follows: (Time 1 + Time 2 + Time 3 = Total Time); (Total Time divided by 3 =
Average Time)
5.
After the third run, maintain full throttle until the engine speed stabilizes at the torque converter full
stall speed. Record the engine RPM and the intake manifold boost pressure.
WARNING:
NEVER MAINTAIN A STALL FOR MORE THAN 30 SECONDS.
6.
The average time for the engine RPM to reach 1600 RPM should be six seconds or less.
BOOST PRESSURE
The boost pressure at full converter stall should be about 85% of the full boost pressure specification values
listed in the following Full Boost Pressure Specifications Chart.
An optional test is to check for full boost. To check for full boost, the boost pressure must be recorded with the
engine at "full load", the engine at rated speed and the throttle pedal fully depressed. This test can be
conducted either on a dynamometer or on a road with a grade.
Approach the grade with engine speed in excess of rated RPM.
Record the full boost pressure as the engine RPM drops through the rated RPM. This may require
"finding" the correct gear and/or grade.
(*) these specifications are applicable for full throttle, rated speed operation.
REPAIR PROCEDURE
If the STALL CHECK time (for engine to reach 1600 RPM) is greater than six seconds or the boost pressures
are not within specification as identified in the Full Boost Pressure Specification Chart, remove the injection
pump and have it serviced at the local Bosch facility.
The following items are to be checked by an authorized Bosch facility.
No air-fuel to the top setting
Verify full fuel calibration
Boost Control Device (BCD) set to the low end of the specification
Check pump timing
These settings may only be adjusted by an authorized Bosch facility. Note that setting the BCD towards the
lower end of the range improves engine response.

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to correct a thickness dimension, to add the concavity
specification and revise the thickness measuring procedure.
ISSUE:
Clutch "chatter" at the friction point may be caused by an uneven or rough surface on the engine flywheel.
ACTION:
Guidelines for resurfacing the engine flywheel and for determining when the flywheel should be replaced have
been developed. Use the following guidelines when attempting to resurface the engine flywheel.
WARNING:
UNAUTHORIZED REPAIRS TO FLYWHEELS CAN CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY. ANY
MODIFICATIONS WHICH DO NOT CONFORM TO THE SPECIFICATIONS THAT FOLLOW ARE NOT
AUTHORIZED.
The following flywheels may be resurfaced.
1.
The minimum flywheel thickness after resurfacing is 31.877mm (1.255").
2.
Clutch contact surface finish must be no greater than 2.0 micrometers (40 R.M.S.).
3.
The clutch surface must have a 0.0 to 0.10mm (0.0 to 0.004") concavity.
4.
Use the following guidelines to determine if the flywheel must be scrapped.
GUIDELINES
Under no circumstances may the final machined thickness dimension be less than 31-877mm
(1.255"). See Figures 1 and 2. Scrap the flywheel if the flywheel thickness does not meet this
minimum dimension after resurfacing.
Figure 1 - Article 94-3-12
Figure 2 - Article 94-3-12
If after resurfacing the flywheel, material heat or surface cracks are apparent, the flywheel must
be scrapped.
If after resurfacing, grooves are apparent in the surface, the flywheel must be scrapped.
If the clutch contact surface is convex after resurfacing to the minimum thickness, the flywheel
must be scrapped.
5.
Measure the flywheel thickness at a minimum of three locations equally spaced around the flywheel
as follows:
a.
Place the flywheel, clutch face down, on a straight edge or flat surface.
b.
Measure from the clutch face or flat surface to the surface that the flywheel mounting contacts the
end of the crankshaft (surface "A" in Figures 1 and 2).

MEDIUM/HEAVY TRUCK:
1992-94 CARGO SERIES, F & B SERIES, L SERIES
ISSUE:
A change has been made to the throttle levers on the Bosch fuel injection pumps on 175 HP and larger
FD1060 and FD1460 Diesel engines. Beginning in March, 1993, the threaded holes in the cast throttle levers
for attaching the vehicle throttle linkage were changed from an SAE thread (1/4"-28) to a metric thread
(M6X1).
ACTION:
If a replacement capscrew is required during repair, use the die mark "27" to determine the appropriate
capscrew (1/4"-28 SAE or M6X1 Metric) for the specific application. A number "27" die mark is stamped into
the old levers with the SAE thread, whereas the new metric threaded levers have no stamped mark. See
Figures 1 and 2. The change was phased in for the various pump ratings from March through June, 1993.

ISSUE:
The engine may stop due to a momentary interruption of power to the Electronic Control Module (ECM)
caused by vibration input to the ignition switch. This condition usually occurs when the parking brake actuation
knob is pulled, although other vibration inputs may cause the condition.
ACTION:
Install a jumper wire with an in-line fuse which places the existing fuel solenoid relay between the ignition
switch and the Cummins ECM key power input circuit. Refer to the following service details for installation of
the jumper.
INSTALLATION
Perform the following with the key off:
1.
Under the hood, locate the single circuit brown connector in the -14401- wire harness on the left hand
cowl panel, Figure 1. The wire to the connector is red with a green stripe.
Figure 1 - Article 94-5-16
NOTE:
AIR CONDITIONED VEHICLES WILL HAVE THE FAN CLUTCH A/C OVERRIDE RELAY PLUGGED
INTO THIS CONNECTOR. REMOVE THE RELAY FROM THE CONNECTOR.
2.
Plug the brown connector into the jumper harness (F4HZ-14398-A). If the vehicle has air
conditioning, plug the fan clutch A/C override relay into the jumper and plug the extra lead of the
jumper into the brown connector, Figure 1.
3.
Locate the brown connector between the -12A581- and the -12A522- harness on the left hand cowl
panel below the -14401- harness, Figure 1. Uncover enough of the -12A522- harness to allow
identification of and access to the red wire with the yellow stripe.
4.
Cut the red-yellow wire close to the connector and tape back the wire end at the connector to prevent
possible shorting.
5.
Strip the other end of the exposed red-yellow wire and complete the butt splice supplied with the
jumper.
6.

ISSUE:
A "knocking" noise may come from the front end of the FD1460 engine when it is operating in the range of
2000-2300 RPM with a light or no load. The noise is loudest when the engine is cold and can vary from vehicle
to vehicle. This condition is normal for this engine.
ACTION:
No action is required. After testing and tearing down of engines in service, it was determined that the
"knocking" noise is not detrimental to the engine operation or durability. The engine should not be serviced for
this condition. The source of noise is related to the normal acceleration and subsequent contact of the gears
comprising the front engine gear train.

ISSUE:
The field has requested a simplified calibration procedure for electronic speedometers/odometers.
ACTION:
Use the following TSB article to service all electronic speedometer/odometer calibration concerns. This TSB
article supersedes both TSB 90-24-13 and TSB 93-25-16. Refer to the following procedure for service details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
The transmission-mounted speed sensor transmits a signal to the speedometer/odometer which is dependent
on:
Rear axle ratio
Tire revolutions per mile (RPMi) based on tire height.
REAR AXLE RATIO DETERMINATION
The axle ratio can be determined by referring to the information delivered with the vehicle or finding the metal
tag attached to the differential. If the vehicle has a two speed differential, (e.g. 4.10/5.72:1), use the smaller
number (4.10 in this case) in all calculations.
TIRE REVOLUTIONS PER MILE DETERMINATION
The revolutions per mile can be determined as follows:
1.
Measure the tire height (ground to top of tire) in inches with the vehicle on level ground, loaded with
the tires "cold" and inflated to the recommended pressure. Measure to the nearest 1/8".
2.
Use the following table to convert "eighths" to decimals. If calculation is done in centimeters, divide
tire height by 2.54 to convert to inches.
(Example: If tire height is 36-1/8", use 36.125" in your revolutions per mile calculations.)
3.
Divide 20,168 (constant) by the tire height to get revolutions per mile. This is RPMi (Example: 20,168
/ 36.125 = 558.28).
CALIBRATION FREQUENCY DETERMINATION
Multiply the axle ratio times the revolutions per mile, times 0.267 (constant) (Example: 558.28 x 4.10 x 0.267 =
611.49). Round the 611.49 to the nearest whole number, which is 611 (on Ametek heads round to the nearest
even whole number).
DETERMINE SPEEDOMETER/ODOMETER SWITCH SETTINGS
1.
Determine which type speedometer/odometer is being installed. The following procedure applies for
both "stand-alone" and gauge "cluster" type speedometer/odometer units. (Replacement units are
either the 12-switch Beede or the 10-switch Ametek type. The 10-switch Beede has been
discontinued for service.)
2.
If the unit to be calibrated is a 10-switch type, determine if it is an Ametek or a Beede by looking at
the type of electrical connection on the back. The Beede has four (4) "studs", while the Ametek has a
single plug-in type connector. If a 10-switch Beede is replaced with a 10-switch Ametek, a simple
electrical jumper wire will be included with the new speedometer.
3.
There are three speedometer setting charts: Ametek 10-position, Figure 1; Beede 12-position,
Figures 2-5; and Beede 10-position, Figure 6.
Figure 1 - Article 94-11-23
Figure 2 - Article 94-11-23
Figure 3 - Article 94-11-23
Figure 4 - Article 94-11-23
Figure 5 - Article 94-11-23
Figure 6 - Article 94-11-23
4.
5.
Using the correct chart, find the "test-freq" in the left hand column, and read the switch settings in the
next column. A number means that switch is to be placed in the "ON" or closed position, and a period
means that the switch is to be placed in the "OFF" or open position. (Example: Using the Beede
12-position chart and the 611 test frequency calculated in the example, the chart gives switch
settings as: 1.3456.8.0.B). This means that switches 1,3,4,5,6,8,10 and 12 are "ON", and switches
2,7,9 and 11 are "OFF".
a.
If the speedometer has 12 switches, the letters "A" and "B" are used to represent switches 11 and
12.
b.
There are at least three different styles of switches with unique switch position labeling. Ignore the
switch position labeling. Pushing the top of the switch in turns the switch "ON". Pushing the
bottom of the switch in turns the switch "OFF".
Figure 7 is a "picture" of a 12-position speedometer/odometer switch with switches 1,3,4,5,6,8,10 and
12 "ON", and switches 2, 7, 9 and 11 "OFF".

ISSUE:
Original equipment fuel shut off valves are being serviced by two different retrofit kits. Some concerns have
been received from the field on which kit or solenoid to use.
ACTION:
Refer to the following statements to determine which kit or solenoid is required for the vehicle being serviced.
PROCEDURE
The first retrofit kit released for service (F1HZ-9A594-A) was developed to replace the E6HZ-9D278-B and
E7HZ-9D278-A solenoids that were used on the 1986-90 engines. This retrofit kit was announced in TSB
91-22-12. The new solenoid (F1HZ-9N932-A) used a different mounting bracket than the original and required
modification. This modification was difficult to perform on certain vehicles and therefore a second retrofit kit
was developed.
The second retrofit kit released for service (F3HZ-9A594-A) was developed with a new solenoid
(F3HZ-9N932-D) which uses the same size mounting pad as the original 1986-90 solenoids E6HZ-9D278-B
and E7HZ-9D278-A and does not require any modification to the mounting bracket for installation. This retrofit
kit should be used when replacing the original E6HZ-9D278-B and E7HZ-9D278-A solenoids.
SOLENOID IDENTIFICATION
Each solenoid will have its own Ford engineering number annotated on a label that is attached to the solenoid
body. That engineering number can be used to identify the type of solenoid by using the following cross
reference chart.
There is also a physical difference in the solenoids that can help with their identification. The E6HZ and E7HZ
solenoid use a T-style electrical connector, while the F1HZ and F3HZ use a flat connector. Refer to Figure 1.
On 1986 model vehicles, a ground wire was not used. The solenoid grounded through the case and only a
two-wire connector was used. The newer solenoids have a ground wire and therefore a three-wire connector
was used.
Figure 1 - Article 94-15-22
The solenoid mounting pad bolt holes are different between the F1HZ and F3HZ solenoids. On the F1HZ
solenoid, the mounting pad bolt holes are closer together and the holes are elongated. The F3HZ has the bolt
holes further apart and the holes are circular. Refer to Figure 2.
Figure 2 - Article 94-15-22
CHOOSING THE CORRECT SERVICE REPLACEMENT
1.
Identify the solenoid that needs replacement.
2.
If a 1986-90 vehicle still has the original E6HZ-9D278-B or E7HZ-9D278-A solenoid, use retrofit kit
(F3HZ-9A594-A).
3.
If a 1986-90 vehicle has been retrofitted with the F1HZ-9A594-A kit and the solenoid requires
replacement, use the 1991 level solenoid (F1HZ-9N932-A).
4.
If a 1986-90 vehicle has been retrofitted with the F3HZ-9A594-A kit and the solenoid requires
replacement use the 1993 level solenoid (F3HZ-9N932-D).
5.
If a 1991-93 vehicle requires replacement of the solenoid, use the original equipment part
(F1HZ-9N932-A)

ISSUE:
There may be confusion on the correct cooling system service for FD1060 and FD1460 engines.
ACTION:
Please refer to the following procedures and figures for details.
COOLANT SPECIFICATIONS
1.
The cooling system must be filled with equal parts (50/50 mixture) of water and Ford Low Silicate
Heavy Duty Diesel Engine coolant or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESE-M97B18-C. The
coolant must be an ethylene-glycol base.
NOTE:
DO NOT USE ALCOHOL OR METHANOL ANTIFREEZE OR MIX THEM WITH THE SPECIFIED
COOLANT.
NOTE:
TAP WATER MAY BE USED IN THE ENGINE COOLANT MIXTURE, UNLESS IT IS VERY HARD OR
HAS AN ALKALINE CONTENT.
2.
The original factory-installed solution provides protection to approximately -35°F (-37°C). The coolant
concentration (freeze protection) should be checked in accordance with the maintenance schedule
(every 12,000 miles (19,000 km), or 250 engine hours, whichever comes first). Replace the coolant
when testing shows it is inadequate.
NOTE:
THE CONCENTRATION MUST BE CHECKED USING A REFRACTOMETER (FLEETGUARD PART
#CC2800 OR EQUIVALENT). FLOATING BALL-TYPE TESTERS OR HYDROMETERS ARE NOT
ACCURATE ENOUGH FOR THE USE WITH HEAVY DUTY DIESEL ENGINES COOLING SYSTEMS.
COOLANT CONDITIONER (DCA4)
Engine coolant conditioner provides long term protection against cavitation erosion and corrosion beyond that
provided by the engine coolant solution.
NOTE:
THE FD1060 ENGINE DOES NOT REQUIRE COOLANT CONDITIONER. IT MAY BE USED, BUT IS
NOT NECESSARY.
THE FD1460 ENGINE MUST ALWAYS USE COOLANT CONDITIONER.
The coolant conditioner will lose its concentration over a relatively short period of time. To compensate for the
loss, coolant filters are available with different amounts of DCA4 conditioner contained in the filter
(precharged). Typically the correct amount of conditioner can be maintained in the system by using a
precharged filter (Motorcraft FW-18 or equivalent) that contains two (2) DCA4 units at 12,000 mile (19,000
km) intervals, or 500 engine hours (whichever comes first), as indicated in the maintenance schedule.
Other precharged filters are available (Motorcraft FW-19 or equivalent) that contain twelve (12) DCA4 units
and may be used when a complete coolant change is made. Also a liquid version is available (Motorcraft
FW-15 or equivalent) that may be used instead of the precharged filters.
Testing of the conditioner is still required at 12,000 mile (19,000 km) intervals, or 500 engine hours (whichever
comes first), as indicated in the maintenance schedule. Fleetguard Test Kit CC2626 or equivalent can be
used. The correct unit per gallon should range from 1.2-3.0 with 1.5 being the recommended.
CAUTION:
INADEQUATE CONCENTRATION OF THE ENGINE COOLANT CONDITIONER CAN RESULT IN
MAJOR CORROSIVE DAMAGE TO ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM COMPONENTS.
OVER-CONCENTRATION CAN CAUSE FORMATION OF GELS THAT CAN CAUSE COOLANT FLOW
RESTRICTIONS, BLOCKAGE OF COOLANT PASSAGES AND OVERHEATING.
COOLANT FILL
Engine coolant level must be checked daily when the engine is cold. See Figure 1.
Figure 1 - Article 94-16-26
If the engine cooling system is drained for replacement or repair, the following procedure must be used to
ensure the engine is properly filled with coolant.
NOTE:
AIR POCKETS THAT FORM IN THE COOLING SYSTEM TEND TO GATHER AT THE HIGHEST POINT
IN THE WATER JACKET. THESE POCKETS CAN CAUSE HOT SPOTS WHICH IN TURN COULD
RESULT IN ENGINE DAMAGE. FILLING THE COOLING SYSTEM AT A SLOW RATE WILL ALLOW AIR
TO FLOW OUT OF THE COOLING SYSTEM BEFORE IT BECOMES TRAPPED.
NOTE:
BOTH THE FD1060 AND FD1460 ENGINES HAVE A COOLING SYSTEM VENT LINE THAT IS
LOCATED ON THE FRONT OF THE ENGINE. THIS VENT ALLOWS AIR TO ESCAPE AS THE
SYSTEM IS BEING FILLED.
NOTE:
FOR THE ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM TO OPERATE PROPERLY THE RADIATOR CAP MUST SEAT
TO THE FILLER NECK UPPER LIP AND THE CONNECTION OF THE HOSE FROM THE FILLER NECK
TO THE RECOVERY RESERVOIR MUST BE AIR TIGHT.
NOTE:
BEFORE FILLING THE COOLING SYSTEM, CHECK BOTH FILL AND VENT HOSES TO ENSURE
THEY ARE PROPERLY CONNECTED AND NOT KINKED OR RESTRICTED.
1.
The cooling system should be filled at a slow rate to prevent excessive aeration of the coolant. When
filling, do not exceed 3 gal/min on the FD1060 or 5 gal/min on the FD1460 engine.
2.
Place the heater temperature control in the maximum heat position.
3.
Fill the radiator to the bottom of the filler neck with the recommended engine coolant mixture.
4.
Start the engine and vary the engine speed between idle and 1500 RPM for approximately 3 minutes.
5.
Increase the engine speed to the maximum or governed RPM and run the engine until the thermostat
opens (upper radiator hose becomes hot) and for an additional 10 minutes to allow the air to escape
from the engine cooling system.
6.
Throttle back to idle and fill the radiator supply tank with engine coolant to the bottom of the filler
neck, then install the radiator cap. On vehicles equipped with and engine coolant recovery reservoir
fill the reservoir to the "Hot" mark.

ISSUE:
Some requests from the field have been made to clarify the proper procedure for checking the fluid level in the
hydro max parking brake assist pump reservoir on some vehicles.
ACTION:
Refer to the following steps for proper procedures for checking the hydraulic fluid level in the brake assist
pump reservoir.
NOTE:
USE ONLY MOTORCRAFT MERCON MULTI-PURPOSE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID,
XT-2-QDX OR DDX OR EQUIVALENT HYDRAULIC FLUID TO REFILL THE PARKING BRAKE
RESERVOIR.
Whenever the hydraulic fluid level is checked, the parking brake must be applied. If the parking brake
is not applied, the dipstick will show a false low reading which will create an overflow condition if
brake fluid is added.

ISSUE:
An oil leak may occur at the front gear housing to engine cylinder block location because of insufficient front
gear cover clampload.
ACTION:
If service is required, use the following procedure to correct front end lubricating oil leaks.
The most effective way to correct front end lubricating oil leaks is to retighten the front gear cover to achieve a
good clampload. If an engine comes in for lubricating oil leakage from the front end, such as gear cover to
gear housing or gear housing to block leaks, proceed as follows:
1.
Remove the gear cover, gear housing and gaskets, Figure 1.
Figure 1 - Article 94-17-16
2.
Clean and visually inspect the gasket surfaces for cracks or damaged sealing surfaces as shown in
Figure 2.
Figure 2 - Article 94-17-16
NOTE:
BEFORE INSTALLING THE GEAR COVER, PLUG THE UPPER DOWEL HOLE OF THE GEAR
HOUSING, IF NOT ALREADY PLUGGED.
3.
Use Dowel Pin (3900257CF) and Loctite 5699 to plug the hole after installing the gear housing to the
cylinder block, Figure 3. Press the plug into the gear housing until it is just below the face of the
housing. This will prevent a potential lubricating oil leak path.
Figure 3 - Article 94-17-16
4.
Use Gear Housing Gasket (F3HZ-6020-E) and Gear Cover Gasket (F3HZ-6020-F) and install the
gear housing.
a.
Apply a thin bead, about 3mm diameter, of Three-Bond (3823494) to both sides of the gear cover
gasket, Figure 4.
Figure 4 - Article 94-17-16
b.
Do not allow more than 15 minutes after applying the Three-Bond to the sealing surfaces of the
housing before assembling and tightening the front cover.
5.
Install the gear cover. Tighten the gear housing and gear cover capscrews as directed in the
following Torque Value Chart.
6.
Run the engine at operating temperature 180°F (82°C) coolant temperature minimum for 15 minutes.

ISSUE:
Refrigerant leaks may occur at the "quick-connect" fittings. A service procedure has been developed which
eliminates the "quick-connect" type of fittings at the compressor.
ACTION:
Use one of the following methods to eliminate the use of "quick-connect" fittings at the A/C compressor. Both
methods require replacement of the suction and discharge hose assemblies.
SERVICE METHODS - DESCRIPTION
Method 1 - Replace manifold and production hoses with adapter block, elbows, braze-on fittings and
bulk hose. This method is the least expensive investment in parts, but the highest in labor content
(some parts to be brazed/fabricated).
Method 2 - Replace manifold and production hoses with an adapter block and special service hoses.
This method involves a moderate investment in parts and labor content.
METHOD 1 SERVICE PROCEDURE
1.
Replace the compressor manifold with Adapter Block (F3HZ-19E559-A). Replace the compressor
manifold O-rings and lube with refrigerant oil. Reuse the existing bolt, Figure 1.
Figure 1 - Article 94-20-22
2.
Remove the production A/C hose assemblies at the condenser and evaporator using the spring lock
coupler tool. Measure and record the full length of the production hose assembly including the
manifold.
3.
Using a tubing cutter, cut the production tubes where the tube and the rubber hose is connected.
Leave at least 1/4" (6mm) of straight unbent tubing. The cuts are made at the ends nearest the
condensor and evaporator.
4.
Clean the tube thoroughly with Metal Surface Cleaner (F4AZ-19A536-RA) or denatured alcohol.
Remove any burrs with a rat-tail file and polish the outside of the tube with emery cloth. Reclean
surface with Metal Surface Cleaner or denatured alcohol.
5.
Clean the nipple found in the repair kit (F3HZ-19972-F for compressor to condensor and
F3HZ-19972-E for evaporator to compressor) with Metal Surface Cleaner or denatured alcohol and
install the braze ring into the counter bore of the nipple.
6.
Cover the counterbore, ring, outer hex and threads of the nipple and the outside of the tube with high
temperature, water-soluble flux.
7.
Place the tube assembly into a vise.
8.
Place the nipple with the braze ring over the tube and heat both ends evenly with a brazing torch so
that they both reach brazing temperature at the same time.
NOTE:
NEVER HEAT THE PARTS TO A BRIGHT RED COLOR.
9.
When the silver alloy melts, the flux will draw it throughout the joint and a small bead of silver alloy
will appear around the tube. When this happens, the braze is complete. Remove the heat source and
let cool for 5 to 10 seconds.
10.
Using pliers, place the fitting into water until it is completely cool.
CAUTION:
STEAM MAY BE DIRECTED THROUGH THE ENDS OF THE TUBE. TO PREVENT BURNS, HANDLE
THE TUBE CAREFULLY.
11.
Remove the residual flux from the surface using hot water and a wire brush.
12.
Cut the proper size and length hose to duplicate the original length of the production hose. Push the
hose fully into the sockets (found in the A/C repair kits) and screw the nipple from the brazed
assembly into the socket. Repeat for the opposite end of the hose using the sockets from the
discharge/suction elbows (F4HZ-2B291-A and B). Align the elbow and brazed fitting to the curvature
of the hose to allow for proper alignment and ease of installation. Install both ends of the hose
assembly. Repeat this procedure for the other hose assembly.
13.
Reuse the existing high pressure switch, if applicable.
METHOD 2 SERVICE PROCEDURE
1.
Replace the compressor manifold with Adapter Block (F3HZ-19E559-A). Reuse the existing bolt,
Figure 1.
2.
To avoid brazing and the use of bulk hose for a repair, use special service hoses as an exact
replacement except with tube-nuts on the compressor end of the hose. The hoses will connect
directly to the adapter block. Refer to the following A/C Hose Reference Chart or the Vehicle
Identification Chart and Application Charts for correct parts usage.
3.
Reuse existing high pressure switch, if applicable.
NOTE:
IF COMPRESSOR REPLACEMENT IS NECESSARY, IN ADDITION TO REPAIRING LEAKS AT THE
"QUICK-CONNECT" FITTINGS, A TAPPED-HEAD COMPRESSOR (F3HZ-19703-E) IS AVAILABLE.
THIS COMPRESSOR WILL ELIMINATE THE NEED OF THE ADAPTER BLOCK AND CAN BE USED
WITH EITHER OF THE METHODS DESCRIBED.

ISSUE:
This procedure is being published to advise all body and paint technicians about proper procedures for
preparation of sheet metal parts coated with electrodeposition primer (E-Coat).
ACTION:
When prepping a replacement body panel for installation, it is mandatory to leave the E-Coat intact. DO NOT
SAND OFF THE E-COAT.
Improper preparation with excessive sanding of the E-Coat to bare metal will jeopardize the sheet metal
warranty and overall customer satisfaction. In particular, the E-Coat is necessary to protect the parts from rust.
Light scuff sanding using a Scotch Brite pad or wet 320 grit sand paper is recommended for minor flaws. If a
minor flaw exists, wet sand or scuff out the flaw and prime the repair area. Again, do not remove all of the
E-Coat from the panel.
WARNING:
LEAD CONTAMINATION POTENTIAL: THE ELECTRODEPOSITION PRIMER USED BY FORD MOTOR
COMPANY OVER BASE METAL ON SERVICE REPLACEMENT PARTS OR COMPLETED VEHICLES
CONTAINS SMALL AMOUNTS OF LEAD FOR CORROSION PROTECTION OF STEEL. EXCESSIVE
DUSTS GENERATED BY UNNECESSARY AND IMPROPER SANDING MAY CONTAIN AIRBORNE
LEAD CONTAMINATION IN EXCESS OF OSHA STANDARDS. INFORMATION REGARDING THE
HAZARDS OF LEAD CAN BE FOUND IN THE CHEMICAL FACT SHEETS IN THE FIGURES
FOLLOWING THIS ARTICLE.
NOTE:
READ ALL INFORMATION IN THIS TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN CAREFULLY AND FORWARD TO
ALL EMPLOYEES PERFORMING PAINT PREPPING OPERATIONS. DEALERS SHOULD CONTACT
LEGAL COUNSEL AND/OR LOCAL OSHA AUTHORITIES FOR DIRECTION REGARDING OSHA LEAD
STANDARD REQUIREMENTS.
If a replacement body panel contains more than a minor flaw in the E-coat, it should be returned. Contact your
Customer Service representative for instructions.
If more extensive sanding, other than that described above, is necessary, (e.g., refinishing original vehicle
sheet metal) follow the procedures outlined below:
ALTERNATIVE SANDING PROCEDURES WHEN EXTENSIVE SANDING IS REQUIRED
The following procedures for sheet metal preparation by sanding or media blasting are based on tests
conducted by Ford Motor Company in accordance with requirements set forth in the Federal OSHA Inorganic
Lead Standard 29 CFR 1910.1025.
SANDING PROCEDURE
1.
Each technician performing the sanding operation MUST wear an approved respirator with high
efficiency particulate filter (HEPA).
2.
Technicians should use dual action sander with vacuum collection.
3.
The vacuum equipment MUST be equipped with a HEPA filter on the air exhaust. Dealers are
cautioned not to exhaust vacuum air into the atmosphere. Operators are cautioned to follow the
manufacturer's guidelines for maintenance and the replacement of filters.
MEDIA BLASTING PROCEDURE
1.
Testing has shown that plastic media blasting meets OSHA lead standard requirements and is
efficient when the manufacturer's published procedures are followed.
2.
The operator must wear an air supplied hood using compressed air free from carbon monoxide, oil,
water, and other contamination when performing this operation. Specifics of the media blasting
procedure for whole body paint removal have been previously published.
