My new Stallion is at Ford service AGAIN for service. Had it 4 weeks, this is 3rd time for Ford service. I had only ran the A/C for 200 miles or so total. On a 3 day, 1700 mile ride this weekend, started smelling something like hot brakes. Then a friend following saw a big puff of blue smoke. We stopped to check, A/C clutch was smoking hot, rubber melting, clutch slipping. This was in 100 deg. heat near Abiline, Tx. Geez, not a happy new owner. Anyway, turned off the AC switch, pulley and belt seems to run ok. I called my Ford service guy and TBMS, both said to continue trip.(we were going to Ne. to deliver a camping trailer that I sold).
Took to Ford this morning for AC compressor replacement. Will report back with results.
